For anyone wondering, you are able to cancel your membership and get a partial refund for the remaining games you aren't attending if that's something that might interest you.

A five per cent increase from last year.

At this rate the Greatness we’re supposed to be Chasing will turn out to be just more Mediocity.

And that’s after cooking the books.

June and July will be the heavy marketing of 3 game passes by the club - which thanks to the AFL, will have the same time window to buy finals ticket as 11 game memberships purchased last year for the first 3 weeks of finals.

Plus women's memberships will start to be marketed in mid to late June once that fixture comes out.

Technically the club only has 9 "Members" anyway.

And of course after we win the flag at the end of September … … … (year to be inserted).

Showdown membership lol

 

[TeeKray]

Showdown membership lol

Sounds like a special kind of hell.

They should do a membership that excludes Showdowns, it would sell like hotcakes.

Actually even better would be a day game only membership. See all of the wins and none of the losses!

 

[bomberclifford]

Showdown membership lol

That gets priority access to finals tickets.

Great way to support your actual members guys.
Three thumbs up!

Which is absolute bs. 3 game tickets should not be classified as a membership. Just another way to falsely inflate membership numbers and * over people who put their hard earned where their mouth is.

Easy to shoehorn in finals access for 3gm membership if you don't play finals...

 

[El_Scorcho]

Even the AFL audited membership numbers are intentionally mistepresentative. It's a rort.

We've got 60000 members and couldn't sell out a final.

Richmond have 100,000 and 70,000+ of them were washing their hair when we played them at the G earlier in the year.

There should be some sort of law regarding the reporting of membership numbers. A member should be an 11 game equivalent.

Every club does it Lil. We are no different to the others, in fact, we are probably a lot more accurate in our reporting than most of the others.

This is a bit elitist and will actually result in significantly less revenue for all clubs. I for one wouldn't buy an interstate membership if the club didn't count me as a member (it's literally the only reason I get it, to say I'm a member). And the upshot is what exactly? A few people getting to feel superior and special who were going to buy an 11 game membership no matter what?

This is fair. I don't consider someone to be a better or worse supporter because they're a member though. I watched every Aston Villa game this season, am I a lesser supporter than someone who has the good fortune of living 10 minutes from the ground? We had interstate members in 1997 before the membership numbers started getting artificially boosted to insane levels, so I think that sort of membership can be maintained while also sorting out how memberships are reported.

I guess the other way around it is for membership revenue to be the metric tracked, or alternatively membership and season ticket holders to be tracked separately which is based on 11 game equivalents.

At the moment we've got a situation where the members have never been more disenfranchised and yet we have it rammed down our throats that we have a huge membership number so angry members are wrong. And we're not the only club going through this.

People need to click that it's a unit sales number and nothing more than that. The true measure has always been crowd attendance (club vs itself) and sales revenue.

Can i do it retroactively for all the games i didn't attend in seasons 2022 and 2023?

 

[sobrave]

Maybe we should do $10 sticker memberships like Tassie

 

[Cubs2Lions]

This is an update post from the other couple of months ago.

Given your Power and playing my Lions in the next home game, decided to buy myself a 3 game Western Stand Membership to watch my Lions play and some more footy before the season ends but after getting the tickets last night, came up in my Apple Wallet as GA and no number even though I know it’s between 100-113 200/214-15 and etc.

Did email the club before to know it is a GA seating membership (on Western Stand and the correct seating) and know it’s not reserved but is it normal for my ticket to not have the Western Stand GA membership in the name of it and will my membership card show proof of me being in the right area and not in the normal GA seating on the hill.

Sorry if that was confusing though but just a little concerned when I do rock up to the group in 2 weeks and security people don’t believe I am a WS member given the ticket details.
