I would like to look at making a change to my current seat.Changing seats is not a problem! We have introduced our new view from seat for Orangetheory stadium, and you can see this at point of purchase to select your seats.

If this sounds like you, once logged into your membership account return to the Crusaders membership home page, select your preferred package (which might remain the same) and then your new seat(s) from the stadium map. Continue through to the confirmation page. Don’t forget to remove any seats that are no longer required from your basket, before putting in your payment details.

Primary vs Secondary Membership Account HolderA primary account holder is the parent membership account. This is the account that pays for, or has paid for, the various membership accounts linked to it. This is also the account that receives information regarding membership renewals and the right to purchase membership seats at the time of playoffs. A secondary account holder is any membership account linked to a primary membership account. In contrast to a member purchasing multiple seats under one membership account, a secondary account has been set up to record personal details against each individual seat. A secondary account holder receives our weekly communications but will not receive details around renewing their membership or purchasing their same seats to playoff events. As outlined above, the primary account holder will receive this information. At the time of purchasing your membership, if you would like a hand to change how your account(s) is set up, please contact our friendly Membership Team and we can help you with this. Either on (03) 421 7192 or email here
