If anyone has any questions or concerns please let me know I'll do my best to keep you in the loop if you have trouble signing up or if you're not sure in which package to select.

Club is aiming towards 45,000 members this year with 30,000 of them before Christmas.

Lets get on the front foot early after a really solid year for the club (on and off the field) and break through the 45,000 barrier for the first time in club history.

I will be updating the original post daily with the new membership tally, and similar to what we did last year, lets create some discussion again. If you see the figures changed and I haven't updated it in the first post then leave a comment here. If you're undecided on which package you want or have questions about any of the above, let me know. Also if you have any ideas that could benefit the club moving forward please post them!

I went ahead and signed up 5 today (myself, my brother, sister, mother, and pet), so if you know of anyone who needs to recommit in 2017 let them know memberships are on sale now! And with the Sign a Saint program, there's surely plenty of incentive there to get others on board.

Cheers & Go Saints !

You'd hope we could push 40K this year

[Hubnester]

I'll be a member as soon as the Easy Pay kicks in again
If I'm a goal zone member this year can I expect the same to be true by default upon renewal?

 

[StCicatriz]

How in the * is an interstate membership more expensive than a 3 game membership

GJ not having a go at you (thanks for the info) more just the continual rort of interstate members

Are you comparing it with the 3 game membership?

Because you get 2 more games

Can't speak for the 3 game one, but the interstate one has gone up about $25 in 10 years, doesn't feel excessive?

Hey mate. It should do. What was the membership you had last year (2016)?

 

[George]

Because you get 2 more games

Yeah I was just about to say, you get 5 games with that membership. So if you're comparing that to the 3 gamer, it's going to be a little bit more because of this fact.

 

[gringo2011]

They should have cheap one with two local and one interstate games or something. Someone in Perth isn't going to get 5 games in in a season. If we play freo and WC they see us twice. It will cost $500 just to do the flights to see a Melbourne based game.

Whos going to be able to aford 5 trips to melb. $400 return flights each time. Then hotels etc. It could be 10 games. It means nothing really

It's very very difficult putting together a membership package that is tailored towards interstate members as usually in those games we are the away side. Usually the only venues that we can strike away deals with is Etihad & the MCG. I know the club knows that interstate members get the short end of the stick so they've tried to make it more worthwhile this year but yeah I definitely agree it's still an issue. Do you or anyone here know of any clubs that do some good interstate memberships?

How do you think saints fans in perth got grand final tickets in 2009. Heres a tip. It wasnt the interstate membership. You had to buy the standard 11 game membership plus social club like you lived in melb

 

[St Kilda Death]

If your only goin to 1 game just buy the supportor membership and buy your seat at the gate?

If it's any consolation you do get a free reserved seat at a game in your state, subject to availability of course but that shouldn't be a problem. They really need to look at it regardless.

So a what is it $15 saving.... maybe just can the membership and buy the $50 ticket like you suggest ;-)

Nah, I don't care enough about any other club to know. Is there some kind of non attending interstate membership they can buy?

Saints Supporter membership but you'd have to buy tickets separately, as St.Kilda Death suggested.

I've never expected, and have known for 20 odd years that my interstate membership didn't come with GF seats, that belongs to those who pay the appropriate price every year?

I dont agree with this at all. The club really has made no effort. For example when the games are here in perth the western saints put on a function. To go you have to pay for a ticket, i forget the exact cost but its between $15-25 from memory. Its in the bar at the old subi club rooms joined to the ground. With the ticket you get some bar food like a pie and chips or a burger and chips.

The western saints do a great job of organising it and making fans feel welcome. In the past theyve even organised sponsors to help fund the event.

Now for interstate members i was told a similar function is put on (i think after the game rather than pre game) but its free for members. I think even drinks were put on.

Even after buying the premium interstate package you still have to fork out the ticket to the pre game function here in WA.

Other thing that bugs me is the same cost for a junior in WA compared to one in Victoria even though your kid probably wont go to the kids clinic. Also theres no grand final allocation for interstate juniors without buying the same product someone in vic will buy. Just without using all of the entitlements.

Its a rort. The club knows it and they dont want to do anything about it.

Despite 2 Sydney teams this year there was no game in Sydney, it's not the first time, but seriously these are token memberships paid for simply to support the club, I have never expected value for money and have rarely got it, other than the most important one that I know I am providing a small level of support for the club, in return I get a scarf and some stickers

If that is an issue I would wait for the 2017 fixture release before making your mind up.
