Just over 1000

[True Thylacine]

Just checked the membership web page and we need a tad over 1000 more for 50,000. Be a helluva shame if we dont make it. Time to sign up the grandson again!

Beat Essendon and that would pretty much get us there.

Looking forward to the Guaranteed GF Seat categories getting a spike on Monday

I think we're closer than 1,000 - the number hasn't moved since Monday - which would have been fridays close. We were averaging 50-60 a day last week - two wins in a row we should have done better than that this week, plus Sat home game purchases and the win - might not see the change until they announce the 50 early next week

 

[UpTheGuts]

There were a few lines at the Memberships booth on Saturday. I would have thought another 150 in the course of that day, easy.

I wonder what Member 50,000 wins.

 

[Shezza]

This is fantastic!!!

 

[True Thylacine]

If we get there it is certainly something to crow about. The membership boys have done a brilliant job! Ugly buggers though ahhahaha

 

[Infamy]

Have they even released the 3 game memberships yet?
We'll still make it, will probably make it next week if we beat Essendon

 

[Maroo]

3 game memberships have been available from the first day memberships went on sale.

 

[Infamy]

Ah ok, thought they were only brought in for a last minute boost to numbers

 

[Sleeping_Tiger]

If hawthorn can count dogs and cats as members then surely the 3 game membership qualifies!!

 

[True Thylacine]

We can change it to Just under 1000 already! Will be a certainty with a win Saturday night. I can't believe I actually tipped us...and with some confidence...felt good and scary at the same time.

[WATIGE]

New figure posted today - 49,027 - hasn't moved as quickly as I estimated - will take 6 weeks at that rate - hope for big sales after tomorrows ......... - nah I refuse to say incase I jinx it!!

Whats the point in a 3 game membership?

1. Allows entry to the 3 home games at docklands for MCC members.
2. Handy for people who work weekends (eg. hospitality) but can arrange occasional time off
3. Rural/interstate/international members.
4. Supports the club financially while still getting some value for money rather than a straight out donation.
5. Some people have serious commitments that can't just be brushed aside of half a day every week, but maybe a few times a year.

Yes, 3 game are included in the official members numbers for all clubs. Non match access memberships are not included in the official numbers and in the past Richmond (and Essendon) have included these in their tallies and after the AFL audit have had their numbers slashed. Last year Richmond's official total was just over 40,000. From what i gather these have been included again this year and it is likely there will be about 7,000 members that will not be included. All teams have these types of memberships but dont include them in their figures.

A member is a member, the number the AFL strips out is purely for calculation of finals ticket allocations.

As i said in my last paragraph, all teams have non match access members but do not include these in their tallies. Finals ticket allocations are based on adult memberships when they determine how many each team is entitled to. Just dont be surprised when the official totals are somewhat different.

Yeah a few clubs do it. Essendon does it aswell.

Our goal is 50k members, no matter if the afl counts them or not.

 

[tugga]

All 3 game memberships are counted for every club. Even the team that plays out of Price Fixing Park.

Its way too difficult to compare apples with apples even with match day memberships. Hawthorn sell 1 game memberships down here in Tassie.
