As a gift to the red and black faithful, Essendon is offering all members free entry to this Friday night’s NAB Cup clash against Sydney.

In the first home game of the pre-season, all Bombers members will be able to see the team for free at Etihad Stadium upon presentation of a 2012 membership card.

All members will be entitled to scan their membership cards at the gate which will allow free entry in to the highly anticipated clash against the Swans.

Available to all members including three, 11 and 17 game members, make sure you are a part of the action for the club’s first home game in 2012.

Members taking up this offer will be granted general admission access to level one or three upon entry.

If you signed up to become a 2012 member in the past week then your card will be in the mail and will arrive shortly just in time for the game.

For any members that signed up prior to Wednesday 29th February and is yet to receive their card please contact the club on 1300 GO BOMBERS between 9am-5pm Monday to Friday and we will arrange a new card for you.

This is a special gift from the Essendon Football Club – simply scan your 2012 membership card at the gate and the club will cover the cost of your ticket.
