Email from Nisbett to members today said we are over 90,000 and tracking well to break 100,000 again.

But also said all seated members will fit inside the stadium with WA's current 75% capacity rule (45,000). So we must have a lot of pet members!
West Coast surely has to be including sideline memberships in their tally. Even though they have enough support to fill a 100,000 seat stadium, they don’t have the capacity over there to have more than maybe 60,000 match day access members.
 
Clubs are starting to do anything to inflate their headline figure. This is a 2 game membership. Assumption being they will enjoy both games and upgrade next year.

All clubs are doing similar things. That’s why revenue and yield is still a very informative metric for review.

Anything over $50 counts as a membership officially, no surprise teams are taking advantage of this.

If Carlton hypothetically made top 4 would they break 80,000 members next year

I think the traditional big four Collingwood,Essendon,Richmond and Carlton are similar when winning consistently and playing finals.
Not so sure I agree. If true they had over 80,000 members last year after being mediocre for two decades then I see no reason why the Blues can’t push for the AFL’s highest membership tally of all time when they finally break into the 8.

Does anyone know what that number is? 110k?

West Coast last year (106,422) is the record.
 
Yeah it’s an add on…. Not counted towards our tally. Plus you didn’t mention the 2 for 1 deal that I also posted about..
I think you'll find all clubs pet memberships are add on an not counted.

Having a look at the Melbourne memberships I find it amusing they have a membership literally called "armchair membership" which pretty much give you next to nothing and is counted towards the tally.

I personally don't have a problem with it being counted (especially the fact that it's a reasonable contribution to the club just to be "a part of it"). I just find it funny that just a few pages back a Melbourne supporter was having a go how Richmond has 3 games memberships while Melbourne themselves not only have 3 game memberships, but also 0 game memberships.
