2015 Richmond memberships launch with price freeze
richmondfc.com.au
August 20, 2014 1:07 PM
Richmond has now launched memberships for season 2015, with the chance to win a brand new Jeep.
The Club encourages 2014 members and supporters to Embrace the Roar and show their early commitment to the Tigers.
Richmond has frozen its membership prices until February 28, 2015, and by joining or renewing now, members will only pay 2014 prices.
Each member that joins or renews on the Committed Tiger direct debit payment program between now and February 28, 2015, will automatically be entered into the draw to win a brand new Jeep.
Also, members that join on the Committed Tiger payment program, will not have to pay anything until November 15, 2014.

Should be a reduction after the shambles of this year
-
What's the target ? 80k ?
-
Does the price freeze cover ALL membership categories including coteries?
-
More like disgrace the roar.
-
Rolling tiger myself, will be embracing the roar for now, we'll wait and see for how long.
Does the price freeze cover ALL membership categories including coteries?
Hope so WP. Am a 3121 member myself. :thumbsup

Going by what's on the membership website Don, 3121 prices are frozen
Not sure about the others :-\
-
The 2015 membership comes with a money back guarantee .

Lets see if we are 3 and 7 again

That would be a gutsy marketing ploy.
If the W/L is not 7-3 or better by round 10 then you have the option of a full refund.

win lose or draw this yr is it for me. ive made my mind up enough. this is the last yr i will be taking an interest in em or supporting them. was going to wait until i saw what happened in the off season but theres no joy in it any more regardless of what they do.
not just the tiges either. the way the game is played and the constant rule changes and inequities in all things afl has made me a miserable prick and its time to move on.
so this is it for me 2 more weeks and many on here will be happy to see the back of me i reckon.

Well if you are going to give up, the RFC will be better off without you.
Pity, because your drivel often has reasonable points but you have turned too sour of late to be truly objective.

We should have a memorial thread for the Claw. It'll include all his calls on players we should have taken and did take and what they ended up doing. Convenient time to leave as a few of them are proving him wrong :shh

Well it has been an interesting ride claw.
I've liked some of your posts, but they have started getting a bit nutty and even vindictive, and the stuff you have written about Brandon Ellis is just wrong.
Mate you need to learn to enjoy the ride, I think deep down you are excited at the minor chance we have of making the finals, like we all are, this is why you are holding on for another 2 weeks otherwise you would leave now.
But back to the topic. What a lazy, boring slogan for the club next year. Once again a Year 7 level marketing effort by the club, another example of where they could have consulted with the fans who could have come up with something better than that. I hope we aren't paying big dollars for that rubbish.
-
Will they actually wait for my permission next year or will they just start deducting my credit card without asking me like they did this year?

Depends on whether you have chosen the 'rollover' option or not..
Best check with the club.

Pity, because your drivel often has reasonable points but you have turned too sour of late to be truly objective.
what are you on. the rfc dont know i exist except to badger me for money and membership. you dont really think your any different do you.
anyway as i said there is no enjoyment in watching em any more but that in many ways has more to do with the state of the game itself.
as for objectivity im always objective. one of few who has been prepared to stick to his principals and beliefs in what makes for a good club and good players. which is unlike most on here who change from week to week or month to month or yr to yr. one only has to look at the boards to see this with them winning a few games. things dont magically change on the back of some lets face it pretty ordinary wins mixed in with a few decent ones. once again we fail when it matters and we fail to recognise what needs to happen to win a flag.
the bar is set so low at this club and with the supporters its sad. we do accept mediocrity and its abundantly clear in wthe clubs actions and the supporters.
my greatest lament is the fact the club has continuously failed to go thru good consistent processes to build a list capable of challenging for a flag, including under hardwick. hardwicks reign so far is a mirror of days gone by where they lose patience, get ahead of themselves and do half a job.

Why has it taken you 32 years to get to this conclusion?
Surely the line in the sand moment could've come years ago?
If you are so objective, why didn't you bail in 1988? 1993? 1997?1999?2004?2009?
If I'm objective, you're a martyr but we don't need that in a football club which is why people have a crack at you.

They've changed the names, if I don't take any action will mine just automatically roll over to whatever the new equivalent is since I do the monthly thing?

RFCO and WP would know more about this than I do but I would presume the likely answer is yes if it's just a name change to the same package.
Premiership Circle is a reserved seat at the MCG on Level 2 (excluding Ponsford stand for home game vs Collingwood) and reserved seating at Etihad.
Punt Road Balcony is a reserved seat on Level 2A Great Southern Stand (MCG) and Level 1 (Etihad Stadium).
Punt Road Undercover is a reserved seating at the MCG on Level 1 and Etihad on Level 1.
Punt Road Boundary is a reserved seating at the MCG on Level 1 and General Admission for Etihad.
-
"Premiership Circle" has been around for a coupe of seasons now
The only new names I can see is the "Punt Road .... " ones
But dwaino yes going by what happened when they decided to call level 2 reserved seats in the Southern Stand "premeirship circle" your membership remains the same (eg your seat) and it just rolls over to whatever they're calling it now
Mr OE is right RFC_O can confirm :thumbsup
Also, good to see they club continues to persist with not offering a membership for folks who cannot get to any games. And no, the Tiger Insider doesn't cut it. :'(
-
Thanks. I have two premium plus 16 game memberships (level 1 Olympic under cover + etihad reserve) which just looks like the punt road undercover one and without checking the price looks about right. I'll just close my eyes and see what rocks up in the mail when the time comes ;D
-
Received details of my Inner Sanctum package in the mail yesterday
Have to say well done to the RFC for what they've put together. They taken on board the feedback and done a sensational job with what's on offer

Committed Tiger member information
richmondfc.com.au
November 4, 2014
The Richmond Football Club wishes to advise members on the Committed Tiger payment plan that debits for 2015 memberships will commence on November 17 (normally the 15th of each month, however the 15th is a Saturday in November).
Those members who have chosen the annual rollover will have the entire amount of their membership debited, while those who have selected the 11-month payment plan will have the first month debited.
To make any changes to your membership, please contact the Richmond membership team on 1300 RICHMOND.

And those are the only two options again for renewal online?
If you want to have a choice about renewing each year you must renew by phone.
The Richmond board and admin really care about members input. The money input, nothing else.
Lock 'em in then you don't have to even contact them each year. Great idea - cuts wasted time spent talking to members.

Also note they sent me a letter telling me that they are changing the 110% Committed Tiger charge.
On a country membership I was paying an extra $12.50 as a donation on top of my membership.
This is now changed to a set charge of $25 for a Tiger Patron.
Nice of the club to decide to double my donation.
Sneaky, slimy, deceitful.
But I guess it goes with giving eight days notice of board elections and changing the constitution AGAIN.
Wonder when they'll let us know what changes they propose.
Yeah the club really cares about the members input.
Lying, dodgy, underhand.
Getting really, really sick of being treated like a mug and taken for granted.
Shall have to reconsider my payments to demonstrate my anger.

It is correct that rolling payments started this week?
Well if they have Im about to tell the RFC to stick it, how effing dare they debit my card without my authorisation
I've never renewd my membership this way..
I've never given them authority to do this.
As for my contribution to the FTF, they can stick it, in actual fact I'm thinking of never renewing our memberships ever again...
I'm done with this football club..

Roger, if you renewed online last year you would have had to choose the automatic rollover as noted in replies 51 and 54 of this thread.
I was only asked pestered this year because my credit card had expired and they did not have the new details.
-
It is correct that rolling payments started this week?
Well if they have Im about to tell the RFC to stick it, how effing dare they debit my card without my authorisation
I've never renewd my membership this way..
I've never given them authority to do this.

Committed Tiger member information
richmondfc.com.au
November 4, 2014
The Richmond Football Club wishes to advise members on the Committed Tiger payment plan that debits for 2015 memberships will commence on November 17 (normally the 15th of each month, however the 15th is a Saturday in November).
Those members who have chosen the annual rollover will have the entire amount of their membership debited, while those who have selected the 11-month payment plan will have the first month debited.
To make any changes to your membership, please contact the Richmond membership team on 1300 RICHMOND.
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2014-11-04/committed-tiger-member-information
And those are the only two options again for renewal online?
If you want to have a choice about renewing each year you must renew by phone.
The Richmond board and admin really care about members input. The money input, nothing else.
Lock 'em in then you don't have to even contact them each year. Great idea - cuts wasted time spent talking to members.
:bow
Didn't know it was coming out. Wanted to look into changing my membership as a povo uni student who never even uses it. (Have an AFL membership) but lol at them just taking it out without asking. If I wanted to renew I'd go to the web page and stuffing renew it you gimps

Roger are you saying your card has been debited or you are concerned they might have debited?

Yes but you would have been asked when you rang to renew, if you weren't then they have stuffed up
I know when I renewed the "Peanuts" memberships over the phone this year I was asked if I wanted to change theirs to "Committed Tigers" so I didn't need to worry about it anymore.
Told them emphatically NO, and I can confirm they haven't taken the money for those

I haven't rang this year to renew at all, previous conversation with the club was this time last year to renew our memberships, I was never asked this question, if so I would have said NO.
IM EFFIN FUMING!!!
-
Roger are you saying your card has been debited or you are concerned they might have debited?
My card was debited on Monday, I've never renewed online, they've never asked me whether I wanted to renew this way, I don't want to pay in rolling payments.

That's ok WP, I knew what you mean't.
I usually always renew every November/ December but I ALWAYS ring the club.

Sounds like yo need to go in to the club and fill the room with uppercuts

no membership again this yr for me. there wont be donations either.
too much b/s, spin and incompetence for me. and most certainly too much lip service and disrespect.
they want me to sign up again they had better win me over with their actions . they had better stop treating me like an unthinking. yep fool talk wont get em anywhere. ah the gunna footy club, gunna do this gunna do that.when it fails paint a pretty picture to sucker em all in again.
besides as i have stated i wont be watching too much of em this yr regardless.lots more time with my kids on weekends and plenty of trips away. so i guess the amount of time i spend on here will be limited. dooks you there son you will be pleased to hear it.
unfortunately for me i love the off season especially the nd so im pretty active atm.

I reckon there's a fair chunk of us who are 1 bad season away from the same point Clawski....possibly myself included.

Yes that would be a reason, also some disgruntled members that we have on this forum. We have had a couple already saying they won't renew because of the recent selection of players in the draft..

You actually make a fair point.
every year more people are taking up the committed tiger or rolling tiger or whatever they call it because it's convenient. Certainly causes some angst but it appears more people are renewing that way

-
Will it get us to 65,000 or 70,000?
-
It's the same old story - the final number and whether we get a major boost on what we already have all depends on early season form. From memory, we were initially on track for 70k last year until the 3-10 start to the season hit and we finished with a final tally 66k for 2014. At the moment, we are heading for a 2015 final target of 66k+4k ahead = 70k.
-
75,000 is the number. If we can't get that we may aswell shut up shop
-

If your seats are in the Ponsford then maybe yes, if they are somewhere else no
I wanted to keep my southern stand seats so but couldn't have them transferred onto my IS membership. So to keep them I have had to purchase ordinary memberships with reserve seats (4 in totals)

I wanted to keep my southern stand seats so but couldn't have them transferred onto my IS membership. So to keep them I have had to purchase ordinary memberships with reserve seats (4 in totals)
Thanks WP. :(
Email me digital@richmondfc.com.au and I can point you in the right direction.
will do. When are you back after the festive season.

Whose pills on the cabinet? Is that how you remain calm after a loss?
I'd suggest if that's the main thing you noticed in that photo then it says a whole lot more about you than WP....

They are actually Jonty's our lab
They are anti-biotics for a burst cyst. Hopefully they clear it up or he will have to go in to have cut it out on the new year :'(
So far so good

Just a Colonial 3 door hutch with glass display cupboards. Nothing special, well it's special to us but years ago they were very common ;D

I would love it if Hardwick came out and said at the family day that we'll be there on that last Saturday in September and that we're ready like he did at the 2013 family day when he promised finals footy. Would get us an extra 10k members if he came out and said that

Time for some real commitment.
Club should guarantee a finals win next year or every member who wants to can have a full refund.

Seems like the RFC membership numbers aren't keeping pace with the likes of Collingwood and Hawthorn. That's very disappointing. Its what happens though when you don't recruit any players during the trade period. Supporters lose hope and the whole club goes to pot.

That's funny, it's just incorrect on so many fronts that its funny

Adelaide - 1.2 million people divide by 2 = 600,000 per club catchment.

Given the popularity of the redeveloped Adelaide Oval, supporters of both SA clubs had to get in early to buy a membership with a reserved seat.

Pretty much everyone who follows a SANFL team other than Port Adelaide Magpies will never support the Port Adelaide Power and their supporter base will be forever limited by that.

In January? Please :huh
Adelaide oval member numbers and SANFL member numbers with the Port component are already included but AFL member numbers with RFC component aren't inour numbers yet
A bit of perspective wouldn't go astray.
Might be worth comparing once the season starts not now when you cannot compare apples with apples

Die hard Blues mate of mine dumped them when they sacked Ratten for Micky Mouse.
He couldn't believe that they did that to a club legend.

Too bad Crazy John carked it just as he about to pour in the cash...just our luck....even the Smorgan's went turncoat on us to back Footisclay.

Yep happened last year.
We got to within 1500 odd of the Hawks, and then 'bang' they jumped up to 5000 in front in one week.
Read into it what you want, but for me its obvious.
Where are those membership plastics kept, because they don't relate to bums on seats.
-
we just need a flag first
-
Sure Hawks have Tassie members and pets,
But they pull 70K with Geelong. same figure with the Pies was their home game last year too.
We until recently played the Cats at the Cattery and only drew 30 odd thousand last year and our home game when we had a flying start to the year in 2013 only equated to 50K.
Until we becaome a premiership threat and a consistent top 4 side we will always be a distant third to both the Pies and the Hawks in terms of team success which further equated to revenue, major sponsorship $$$ above and beyond the average, exposure to prime time tv audience fail this year like 09 and watch us play 4:40 against Gold Coast Sunday Arvo at the G and ultimately bums on seats because then and only then will people want to come and watch a game where the result won't be as clear cut as now when more often than not we still lose to Geelong, Hawthorn and Collingwood which has been happening more often than not in the last 30 years.
This ongoing Essendon saga is not helping all clubs and the AFL's bottom line either.$$$$$
It's all tantamount to on field success and flags and right now we are still half way there despite the 5 year Dimma plan. This year will be crucial to all that.

The membership race: Where does your club sit?
Staff writers
afl.com.au
February 14, 2015 10:00 AM
IT ISN'T quite the time of year to be playing games just yet, but football's off-field season is just about to enter the final quarter.
Clubs have been selling 2015 memberships since last October with their plaintive pleas to supporters of hope, belonging and expectation.
It is increasingly difficult for AFL club and marketing types to stay on message and be original. Eighteen clubs, 18 different slogans, year after year after year… you try to walk in their shoes.
Still, there has been some clever word play in recent years. 'Don the Sash' appeals out of Essendon, 'Stand Tall' works well for a team nicknamed the Giants as does 'Pride' for the Brisbane Lions.
Borrowing a line from club songs has been a theme this year. 'My Heart Beats True' at Melbourne, Richmond is 'Strong and Bold' while Carlton reminds us again that 'We Are The Navy Blues'.
It is a safe and sensible effort from the Blues, whose efforts in previous years have been among the more dubious, such as 'They Know We're Coming (2009)' and 'Can You Smell What The Blues Are Cooking? (2010). The Blues finished eighth that year, so whatever was on the stove at Visy Park wasn't all that flash.
Still, Carlton's 2010 effort only wins the bronze medal when it comes to truly questionable membership slogans. Hawthorn's 2005 membership renewal exhorted supporters to become 'Hardcore Hawthorn', a perplexing effort from the same outfit that also liked to call itself 'The Family Club'.
However, when it comes to questionable campaigns, the runaway winner is undoubtedly Essendon and its unfortunate 2013 slogan 'Whatever It Takes' - if only the marketing team had known what was about to unfold.

made from poo and pee

It is a safe and sensible effort from the Blues, whose efforts in previous years have been among the more dubious, such as 'They Know We're Coming (2009)' and 'Can You Smell What The Blues Are Cooking? (2010). The Blues finished eighth that year, so whatever was on the stove at Visy Park wasn't all that flash.

Just checked and they offer all sorts of 1 game memberships. What a joke! Why don't we have a Tasmanian tiger membership ? We have far more supporters in tassie than Collingwood. Collingwood offers a 1 game membership, a 1 game tassie membership, various kinds of 3 game memberships and even a digital membership. No wonder their numbers are so high
Reckon we should do the same and we'll get the most in the league for sure

Hawthorn Hawks close in on Collingwood Magpies AFL’s most popular club
Samantha Landy
Herald-Sun
February 22, 2015
HAWTHORN is closing on Collingwood as the country’s most popular AFL club.
And Richmond, hot on the back of last year’s late-season revival, is not far behind.
The Magpies still head the AFL’s membership ladder with 64,507, slightly down on the same time last year.
But the Hawks are on their tails with 61,490, 5500 more than at the same time in 2014.
And Richmond has 5183 more signed-up fans than this time last year with 58,260 members on its books.
The Tigers’ mob includes 18-day-old Alice Butler, who was signed when she was just four days old to follow in the footsteps of her dad, Joe, 31.
But Collingwood chief executive Gary Pert is confident his club can land more than 85,500 members before season’s end.
“Collingwood members have always shared a deep emotional connection to the club and today this connection lives on,” Pert said.
St Kilda is also punching above its weight, signing up 3803 more members than last year, putting the club on track to eclipse its target of 35,000.
Carlton and Essendon have seen their numbers take a hit after the Blues disappointing 2014 and the Bombers off-field woes.
But it is Port Adelaide that leads the pre-season charge for members, with the club just 1400 short of its 2014 tally more than a month before the 2015 season has started.
Power has attracted 13,000 more members than it had 12 months ago for a total of 54,342. It is one of 14 sides to be ahead of this time last year.
Marketing manager Matthew Richardson said his club owed its membership boom to its “fantastic style of footy” and its Adelaide Oval home.
Port has sold out its reserve seats at Adelaide Oval, and Adelaide expects to do the same.
Adelaide has enjoyed a successful off-season, attracting about 8000 more members than a year ago.
More than 680,800 AFL fans have signed up, up from 642,000 this time last year.
Carlton has work to do, as it is about 4000 members short of this time last year with almost 34,000.
But the club has a chance to catch up during its “Membership Marathon”, when it will aim to enlist 5000 members in five weeks.
AFL general manager for clubs Travis Auld said the league’s membership numbers had grown annually for the past 14 years, and were looking to do so again in 2015.
Auld said about 50,000 new members had already signed up this year, driven in part by fan-friendly changes made to this year’s fixture, ticket allocations and pricing.
“Members are really the lifeblood of clubs,” he said.

Not this year. We'll overtake Pies in 5 weeks

Don't forget we have artificially inflated our numbers at this stage with the price freeze.
I've never bought a membership before family day/round 1 before this year and I bet there are plenty of others in the same boat.

We were up until the season start. Then our crap start saw sales almost freeze and that's when the Dawks shot way ahead again.
-
Hawks have 2 or 3 business people who are prepared to buy thousands of memberships each, rumour has it they've been doing it for years as it was part of some grand plan to take Richmonds place in the big 4. the issue is that we aren't the ones who will be replaced Carlton have hit the skids supporter wise and Hawthorn will soon be soon as a much bigger club than the Blooze.

Love child's of the late 70 and 80s. Glory hunters by genetics, the weakest of which succumbed to the temptations of the first generation prone to put individualism ahead of traditionalism.
The primary school try hard following success, whilst his loveless parents Bruce and Jenny argued every night over whether the ducted heating should be on, no longer able to look into each others eyes....such regret.
Somehow all those premierships make up for the pain, but is Julian, now with a divorce of his own, really happy?
A teenager on an unregistered dirt bike flys up his street, the windows rattling on his faux AV Jennings home in Mulgrave. It cuts him to the core. He realises, the world has changed. He yearns for the past. Of schoolyard beatings and icy cold nights. Of castle greyskull.
Now 42, he ponders his future. 'What ever happened to incinerators' he thinks.
As Julian thinks of last nights date, he realises he will retire with just enough super. He will even survive the impending wave of Chinese genocide, his mother's maiden name keeping him safe through the uncertainty. But will all those premierships make him happy? Are they earned, or are they pursued?
He dies a bitter man. He has had the fruits of life in spades, but does he truly value it?

Richmond shouldn't be updating the membership everyday ... they should do it once a week at about 4pm every Friday.

If Richmond had had the hawks success over the last 40 years, we would have 150,000 members.
The fact that we have 60,000 members in February is a credit to us the fans. Every club in the AFL other than Richmond would have folded by now, given the consistent crap we have been fed by the RFC for the last 40 years.

Collingwood 70-80k members on the back of a recent premiership, we've passed the Hawks who have gone b2b, they'll need to build another 100,000 seats at the G if we have success in the next few years.

Our club is clearly the number 1 organisation in the AFL when it comes to spin and pr. Look at the recruiting video they put up - it doesn't say anything but the supporters are excited because the club looks as though its trying to engage with the supporters, I have to hand it to Benny Gale and his team, they are guns when it comes to this sort of thing and that's reflected in membership numbers, Richmond has perfected the art of "Communicating" with supporters. Its why we have the membership numbers we have and why Carlton is stuffed. The good aspect of this is however that the money and power being generated from this club supporter axis will help the club get to its next premiership. Well done to them and if the team gets of to a good start then they'll be hanging from the rafters.

Newbold's purchasing has begun, they're about to pass us again.

Tigers’ mighty membership surge ...
Benny Gale -
“I’ve been asked a lot recently, are we going to be No. 1 in membership, and is that a goal? Those sorts of goals are great, but I guess the most important thing is focusing on really high levels of service and giving our fans a sense of involvement in our club, and keeping them informed and entertained. That’s all part of what we do and, if we continue to get record numbers as an outcome, then so be it. But it’s terrific . . . really proud.”

10,000 haven't renewed yet from last year - good opp to grow further if we can get some of those to renew

Breakdown of membership numbers into the categories... Gold, yellow and black, platinum etc:
3-5 year members 18k
Silver members 12k
Gold members 16k
Platinum members <1k
Yellow and Black 159
--------------------------------------------------
In February, we joined almost 11k members. According to numbers on their websites, Collingwood, Hawthorn and Essendon were around 3k.
We are now tracking around 7k up year on year and well on our way to our first membership target for the year, which is 70k.
-------------------------------------------------
What is the target for 2015 ? 75.000 ?
Richmond FC - the membership goal for the 2015 season is 70 thousand members. We are currently on track to meet this.
We still have 10k un-renewed members so we are working hard on in ensuring that each one of those members has been contacted through multiple channels to ensure we don’t miss them.

With membership now defined in myriad ways by the game, judgment is passed between some AFL rivals on the various offerings in the competition.
The AFL requires that $50 is spent in some kind of membership package for it to count officially as a membership. That minimum spend figure has been reduced in recent seasons. Some clubs sell one-game "memberships" in packages that might also include club apparel while others do not offer one-game "memberships" and quietly scoff at the notion.

Exactly, club have listened and now they offer a real membership at a reasonable price for those who genuinely cannot get to games which as an extra has its proceeds going to a very important charity
Well done RFC :clapping :clapping

Originally it was
But after a lot of feedback from people who couldn't get to games and others who said they needed to offer something else ;) they introduced the AMF membership last year
They've retained and tweaked it for 2015 by adding the entry to one home game as part of it.
As I said well done RFC, they've listened and will reap the benefits of it

If they want people to actually buy it, it needs to be called the Richmond 1 game membership (with all proceeds going to the AMF), the fact it's called the AMF membership is a tad misleading

Should just be a one game membership full stop, without forcing people to donate to a charity they may not wish to.
I like the idea, if you live hours from anywhere the side plays one game could easily be all you can make.

That constant trolling, baiting and abusing of other posters will not tolerated.

Lots of people who can't go to games would still like to be a member of the club, not just buy a general admission ticket.
In buying a one game ticket they are forced to donate to the charity the club has chosen.
I'm not saying the charity isn't a fine one, I just object to having the choice to support removed when you wish to buy a footy membership.

I do accept that Richo , perhaps attaching the privilege of a membership to the charity option is wrong and it should be marketed differently. Tbh I don't support a 1 game membership, 3 is. bare minimum , a one gamer should be thrown into an interstate supporter pack seeing they only get to go once a year

Sorry BJ I can't agree the club has to offer something to people who genuinely cannot get to games. A one game membership does that.
In a perfect world they should just offer something with no match day entry attached but if this is the only way Clubs can get the nuffers at AFL HQ to recognise these type of memberships then that's what they have to do. Just like in a perfect world perhaps the club shouldn't be linking it their preferred charity partner as TBR has mentioned.
I am just happy they are offering something, it may not be perfect but it is a darn sight better than a 3 gamer that is useless to a lot of people who want to members but can't get to games or alternatively can't afford $80 or whatever the 3 gamer costs now
-
I changed my 9 grandkids memberships this year from the normal Cubs memberships to A & M kids memberships for 2 reasons - a) it was getting expensive with so many memberships when most of them never see a game live and the A & M are a bit cheaper, and b) I identified strongly with the charity so felt my money in my grandkids names was going to something worthwhile. So I would say that while it might put some off to be donating a membership to a charity that they don't necessarily relate to, it might also attract some. Swings and roundabouts and at the end of the day we all have a choice about how/where we spend our hard-earned.

My mate(true blue Dogs supporter) just bought a Holden, if he fills in a free Collingwood membership form (3 games) he gets a $500 cash back.
What a farce for membership numbers.

This is the reason why they are not going to make Holdens in Australia anymore.

That's actually smart thing to do. We should do it with Jeep and tap into a new market :shh

I would have purchased a Jeep if they made a dual cab ute but instead purchased a Nissan (who have supported us in the past)
I found out about six months later from a jeep owner that their windscreens cost over $1000 to replace and this lady had been waiting six months for the windscreen to arrive from USA.
Looks like I dodged a bullet there.

Club & Jeep have already done it.
A couple of years back if you bought a Jeep, you could claim up to $1000 back (depending on the model purchased) from Jeep. Had to buy the car and then after delivery fill out a form send it away and they'd send you a cheque
Not sure if it is still going or whether it was very successful

30% of Hawthorn's membership base are juniors (20,000). The Hawks also have hardly any non-access members.
We're second in the AFL for junior memberships (10,464).

Any chance we overtake the Dawks before Round 1 ? Newbold would have a fit :shh

certainly possible.

Hawthorn break membership record and have Magpies in their sights
Samantha Lane
The Age
April 8, 2015 10:15pm
Set to exceed 70,000 members for the first time, having achieved a record tally for a ninth consecutive year, Hawthorn say they can topple Collingwood as competition leaders with a grand target of 80,000 paid-up supporters by 2017 now more than a pipe dream.
By the first week of April - about 16 weeks before the AFL's official cut-off date for membership tallies - the reigning premiers have surpassed their benchmark of 68,650.
"There is no doubt that the gap between Hawthorn and Collingwood has reduced, as has the gap between Richmond and ourselves," Hawks CEO Stuart Fox said.
This is despite the somewhat surprising fact that about 8500 Hawthorn fans are yet to renew since the club won back-to-back premierships last year, a matter on which the club has commissioned research.
"Whilst we've never considered it to be an arms race, to be at the top of the membership ladder, there is no doubt that the gap between Hawthorn and Collingwood has reduced, as has the gap between Richmond and ourselves," Hawks CEO Stuart Fox said on Wednesday.
"We also find ourselves watching with great interest the phenomenal growth of Port Adelaide.
"I think Collingwood is always going to be tough to beat because their supporter base is massive, and I know Eddie [Maguire] loves to push the membership figures, and that's part of their club's mantra. But there's no doubt that as that gap reduces, it does make our club hungry, naturally, to go past them.
"Richmond may not be able to pass us this year, but they're probably sitting there thinking how they can pass us, just as we are thinking about how we could one day pass Collingwood."
Collingwood's membership tally sits at 70,005 while Richmond's is 66,794.
It is an inexact science to compare membership tallies across the AFL given each club has tailored offerings ranging from digital subscriptions, with no match admission, that count as memberships, to traditional offerings of seating at a large number of games. Clubs can also give away "free" memberships and count them in their tallies.
Clearly aiming to suit the needs of as many people as possible, Collingwood advertises 29 offerings on the "2015 packages" page of the club's website, the majority of which count as memberships.
"We can only compare, really, from [information on] club websites and from AFL stats. So we actually don't know the make-up of every other club's membership," Fox said.
"What has always been our philosophy, though, is to really make sure our numbers are true and genuine. We don't like counting cats and dogs …and we're not counting anything else other than signed-up members."
Hawthorn, who have an in-house membership team of about 10 staff, sell three-game membership packages, but Fox described the uptake of that option as "very minimal".
The Hawks led the competition last year for junior members – it had 19,800 – and, with 18,233 already this year, expects to surpass that tally.
After an up-and-down initial five years with its Tasmanian membership base, the Hawks can also boast that they have grown that figure every year since 2007, and doubled the tally with a record figure of 8743 members in Tasmania last year. At the latest count, the Hawks' membership in Tasmania this year was 8654.
The club budgeted to sign 71,000 members in total this year, and Fox said its "stretch" target was 73,000 and now "very achievable in coming weeks".
The lofty goal of 80,000 members by 2017 was set formally in the "All for One" manifesto the club published in 2013 under the leadership of president Andrew Newbold and Fox.
"When we set that it was a reasonably realistic target, but we knew 80,000 had a little stretch in it," the CEO reflected this week.
The 2006 season now provides a remarkable reference point for the club's growth. That year, Hawthorn's total membership tally took a dive to 28,003 (the Hawks had not had a lower figure since 2000) and its Tasmanian membership hit a record low of 1971, five years into the club's push into the state.
The 1996 membership tally comparison is even starker. The year Hawthorn and Melbourne infamously came close to merging, the Hawks had a membership of 12,923.
"The growth of the Tasmanian market has been really good for us," Fox said.
"And since '06 there has obviously been some confidence around on-field success … we've also had a really strong engagement program. We've always worked from the philosophy that the fan, and the member, comes first."

He's not serious is he ? :lol We will pass Collingwood before they do and we will get 80k before the dawks too.
For me the way this tool is speaking it's all but confirms to me that they're membership numbers are big bullpoop
-
10,000 less spectators to a game showcasing two of the most successful teams in the last decade.
Where are all the dawks members true pee & poo? Are they ever going to show up?

Well get a jump in membership numbers from Monday after they add all the tardy members who sign up on the day of our first home game.
Might even pass the hawks as a result.
Whoa :shh
-
Hawks will loose 15,000 members the minute they pull out of Tassie....
-
Don't forget St kilda have as many as us :shh

What the article is really saying is that Hawthorn no longer rate Carlton or Essendon as really big clubs. They see themselves with us and Collingwood now. This is a clear sign that they know we have finally arrived as a professional football club in the AFL and we are being recognized as such by competitors - at least of the field.
Its time for us to develop a blockbuster game between ourselves and Hawthorn.

There membership numbers say otherwise. They may fiddle with there membership numbers, but they are clearly a big club now and I have them way ahead of Carlton. I agree that Essendon is a bigger club than Hawthorn, but my original post was how Hawthorn see themselves.

Given his success at the AFLPA Brendan Gale when he arrived in 2009 was the only face of hope to get us out of the mire. Given his off field message is starting to wane as much as our on field prospects the only marketing tool the RFC have in their current state to maintain membership levels is Richo and it would be shocking of the club to do this given how the fans love him.

Given his off field message is starting to wane as much as our on field prospects the only marketing tool the RFC have in their current state to maintain membership levels is Richo and it would be shocking of the club to do this given how the fans love him.
Do you mean use Richo in what capacity? Player, President or CEO?
Possibly being the face of the club and using his media persona to spruik for us in an unofficial/official capacity. They may put him him on the books.
Don't know Tigeritis, just thinking where to from here and this scenario came to mind. :-\

AFL membership figures: Collingwood biggest club, but gap closing fast
Herald-Sun
June 19, 2015 1:36PM
COLLINGWOOD’S place on top of the membership pile is under threat, with fellow Victorian power clubs Hawthorn and Richmond dramatically closing the gap this year.
On 2015 memberships compiled this week, the Hawks and Tigers have grown membership by more than five per cent to break through the 70,000 barrier, while the Magpie army has reduced by more than 6 per cent.
An announcement about the Tigers hitting 70,000 members is expected soon.
Collingwood looked on the verge of signing 80,000 members after falling just 650 short in 2014.
But the Pies (74,000) now have only about 2000 more members than Hawthorn and just over 4000 more than the Tigers.
Clubs are still selling memberships and expect to do so for about another month, before the AFL begins auditing the figures.
The league has introduced rules about what constitutes legitimate membership.
Members must invest more than $50; give name and contact information and receive a membership pack. Pets are no longer allowed to be signed up.
Included in figures are non-access members, who sign up for packages which do not grant entry to games.
Almost 100,000 club members fit this category in 2014.
The league will again set a club membership record this season and continue a period of unbroken membership growth since the 2000 season.
The Adelaide clubs have done much of the heavy lifting this year, with fans giving the move to Adelaide Oval a massive tick.
Port Adelaide’s membership has grown a whopping 23 per cent to more than 60,000 and just a few thousand shy of Adelaide’s mark of 62,676.
The Crows membership figure has also increased by more than 15 per cent.
The Lance Franklin factor — coupled with Sydney’s continued on-field success — is paying dividends for the Swans, who signed more than 40,000 members for the first time in 2014 and smashed that record this year, with 48,000 members now on the books.
But Collingwood is by no means alone in returning a disappointing membership number.
The GWS Giants’ exciting start to the season has failed to translate into membership sales, with a worrying drop of about 11 per cent, on figures to date, leaving the club with just 11,500 members — down from more than 13,000 last year.
And the Mick Malthouse saga at Carlton has left the Blues not only short of a pre-season target of 50,000 members but also last year’s figure.
Carlton suffered a worrying loss of $1.6m last year, and was banking in no small way on a membership push to get back into the black.
The destabilising effect of the continued speculation surrounding Malthouse’s future can be seen in the numbers — Carlton had sold a tick over 45,000 memberships at Round 1 and relatively few since.
The Essendon doping saga appears to have finally tested the patience of some among the Bombers’ remarkably staunch membership, with the club suffering a 4 per cent drop off on figures to date.
The competition’s smaller clubs — including St Kilda, Western Bulldogs, North Melbourne and the Brisbane Lions — have all increased their memberships.
Melbourne, boosted last year by the recruitment of coach Paul Roos, has held on to its 35,000 members and could yet surpass last year’s figure.
The lift in membership numbers has also been reflected in fan turnout in 2015 — dubbed the “year of the fan”.
The average crowd at home-and-away matches last year was 32,333. So far this year (before the commencement of this round) that number is 33,319.

The club is thrilled with the response so far to the upgrade campaign; in actual fact, it has gone better than we ever expected.
As a result, we still have about 15,000 members who we have yet to email out the offer to.
With this week’s game fast approaching, and the membership team flat out dealing with members who have already received the upgrade offer, we have decided to delay the final 15,000 upgrade offers until Monday next week.
If there is a member out there who hasn’t received the upgrade offer, but would like to take advantage of the offer for this week’s game, then please call Membership on 1300 742 466 and they will fast track your offer.
Thanks

massive revenue boost next year if they don't opt out

From where "no more"
-
from the fact that I believe that any member who has taken up the free upgrade has to opt out of this upgrade next year. If they don't opt out then they are automatically put into the upgraded category which costs more money.
If my understanding isn't right then Im sure someone will point it out.

AFL club memberships hit record high
August 26, 2015 7:44am
Lauren Wood
Herald Sun
AFL club membership has reached a record high, with 12 of the league’s 18 clubs posting their highest membership tally in history.
Club membership has reached 836,136 – a rise of 3.93 per cent on last year’s figures – meaning one in 28 Australians are a member of their respective club.
Every club except Collingwood, Adelaide, Carlton, Melbourne, St Kilda and Brisbane hit record numbers.
Sydney has had the most success with an incredible 21.71 per cent rise over the past year, taking its membership total to 48,836, while Port Adelaide has overtaken Adelaide for the first time with 54,057 members - a healthy 10.39 per cent jump.
Collingwood still has the highest total of any club at 75,037 – though its 5.43 per cent down on last year’s record of 79,347.
Hawthorn sits in second spot with 72,924, while Richmond took third place with 70,809 members.
League boss Gillon McLachlan said the continual growth was a credit to footy fans who stumped up their hard-earned cash to support their club.
“I want to thank all of the clubs and all our supporters. It’s an amazing story,” he said today.
“It’s just amazing that one in 28 – man, woman or child – across Australia are paying more than $50 (in membership fees).
“It’s an incredible loyalty. Our clubs play such an extraordinary role in the community, and they have an impact on peoples’ day-to-day enjoyment and lives.
“Those numbers are amazing and it’s a credit to our supporters and our clubs.”
