This type of table cant be formally compared as different venues have different sets of criteria. When the Adelaide oval came on board, both crows and port members scrambled to get seats, and they were mostly reserve seats at tops prices, so of course this is going to be better on the bottom line, than a 100k stadium with heaps of room. It also depends on stadium operators allowing clubs to sell reserve seat bays ie the tigers had to get MCC to sign off the club being able to have double the area to sell these types of memberships which means more dollars.At the end of the day, I’d rather see the table for $$$$ generated from membership sales than the no. of members. The number of memberships is irrelevant and is just a big dick competition.
1 x 11 game membership = 3.6667 x 3 game memberships

On the campaign trail: Your club's membership drive - http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-12-26/on-the-campaign-trail-your-clubs-membership-drive
Couple of interesting things in this article.
No surprises for us, we'll continue to play the long game and target kids and their families.
It's clear the Crows and the Eagles are somewhat restricted by ground capacity. Their neigbours in both cases a pretty strong but haven't run into that wall yet.
I'm sure Port fans are genuinely confused by the notion of reasons to be a member though. If you have to ask you're just not the right material.
How do the Eagles get to 100k members though? My understanding is they dont have limited game memberships. There's only so much growth you can get from interstate members, I assume they have those.
I didn't see that. I do get the $50 threshold. Cant see it would be very fulfilling for people who cant have a seat to know they're members.The Eagles setup their wait list so they meet the threshold to count as members (and no doubt the AFL sets the threshold so they can do so...too much PR value in the extra numbers).

The Crows part says they recommend a digital membership, but you do get access to some tkts. Optus has a significant number of tkt sales at the ground as I understand it. I get that is probably the WA Govt not the Eagles but it's a bit wierd.
Considering how little membership numbers mean, its amazing how salty many on social media are getting about Adelaides numbers. I suppose people just expect Adelaide to sell useless memberships for $50.
I think its to be admired that they offer such an inclusive service so that everyone gets to feel counted and part of something bigger.
But no, lets sign up our pets instead
I wasn't having having a go at the Crows, and I cant see anyone else has.Considering how little membership numbers mean, its amazing how salty many on social media are getting about Adelaides numbers. I suppose people just expect Adelaide to sell useless memberships for $50.

From an interstate supporters point of view AO is difficult. I paid $87.50 for a seat in round 1 2017. Very close to the AFL seating cost for the 2017 QF of $90 and significantly more than other ground. At the club organised game they at least thought about how to look after a small number and gave us a half sized aisle in the Riverbank stand. At the QF we were were shoved at the front and intermingled with Crows supporters.
We have pet memberships, so what. The cost $30 dont meet the AFL audit, and aren't counted by the club.
For the most part, I think the whole membership thing is so disjointed it's meaningless...You're not just comparing apples and oranges, there are whole fruit baskets in there.
That said, I do laugh at Adelaide including their free, online memberships in their membership announcements though....'2017 Premiership Cup' is such an excellent member for them after all (which reminds me, I haven't renewed that yet).
That would only be relevant if I was being sensitive. Reality is I dont care enough. I was just pointing out your sensitivity.Social media was a reference to Facebook, Twitter etc. There is plenty there if you wish to look. I didn't quote you so im not sure why you are being sensitive.

When did you start to feel it was ok to tell people when and what they could post on an online forum?No, you were demonstrating your inherent assumption that everyone is talking to you.
I didnt even read what you posted when i typed my post and I still haven't. Everyone knows you have no credibility on here.
No not excuses just reasons why.Excuses - we have 11 game, 3 game and daily game tickets.
Port have a lot less 11 game memberships.
At the end of the day, revenue is the King not flimsy membership numbers based on the cheapest membership.
The Eagles setup their wait list so they meet the threshold to count as members (and no doubt the AFL sets the threshold so they can do so...too much PR value in the extra numbers).
Has anyone started a campaign to get as many people to join the Adelaide mailing list, then they can boast 250k members, then at audit time, have 65k?Adelaide's membership seems rather farcical. I recently became an online member without paying a cent.
