The club has emailed around a membership package survey to get ideas and stuff for 2009.
As well as the usual typical questions, it also presents various new membership options that the club must be looking at for 2009.
Some examples are here:

http://oneeyed-richmond.com/2009/2009memberships3.jpg (http://oneeyed-richmond.com/2009/2009memberships3.jpg)
There were 12 pages worth of the above all up. The above links are the first 3 pages. The other pages are various combinations of the first 3 pages. Looking at things such as pricing, access to reserved seating or GA, changes to voting rights, access to GF tickets, access to club info, rewards & discounts, member merchandise options etc...
Did anyone else here receive the email and what did you think about the suggestions in the survey?

Speaking of, has anyone actually received a "Fighting Tiger" or "Jungle Beat" this year? :-\ ::)

The $75 mini membership with 2 home games will mean we won't have any non ticketed members any more. So, if it was this year, we would have > 38,000 members! Next year 40,000 just like the Hawks. ;)

And I'll bet that this was one of the reasons (not a main one but a considered one none the less) for doing this. Positive PR at the stage where we are climbing back up the ladder of respectability - it will help the effort to push the line "get on board for the ride of your life, the Tiger is roaring again". I can hear it now.

Completed the survey this morning.
Great that the club are going to the effort of looking at options and putting forward possible packages. I hope it's for more reasons than the ticketed/non-ticketed issue but I don't mind if that is the catalyst for change because it's definitely crap, as in AFL crap that the club shouldn't have to work around to get some club members counted as members by them.
I like the idea of providing Yarra Park carpark passes and free public transport with some of the memberships.

I reckon the non ticketed- ticketed membership debate is actually an important issue for the club. You cant have a club like Hawthorn with cats and dogs running around everywhere claiming that they have 10,000 more members than we do. This should be fixed. The $75 dollar 2 game membership is fair from the club.

Myth. The Hawks dont count pets . . . anymore. ;)
The Hawks have 40,000 TICKETED members, unlesss the Hawks have an 11 game membership for the dog it aint included. :rollin.
THe Hawks are smart because they have no "no game memberships (non-ticketed)" even their international memberships include 5 games.
THats why they're up to there as well as Tassie bumping them but about 5000.
The Tigers should go all ticketed too, it might bump off 1000-2000 overall from the stingy ones who cant stuff out another $15-20 but when they say our figure of 37000 instead of 30000 ticketed it'll be well worth it in terms of publicity. :thumbsup

That wouldn't fix it because there is no chance the AFL would sanction a 2 game membership as ticketed.
4 games seems to be the least amount at the moment (Hawthorn's Tassie membership).

Yep TA. I think there's only 3 FTB's per year but I receive a Jungle Beat email every week.

Me too. A good initiative by the club with our sponsor Connex. Good to see the club thinking outside the square with all these membership ideas. I hope the new website tigerscentral.com is a way to stick it up Telstra for their crappy websites.
The only things I was really against was removing voting rights from 11/17 game memberships (the 2004 election proved the value of the masses in terms of holding those in charge to some accountability) and basing member recognition on how much you can spend rather than years of consecutive membership which is what we have now. That doesn't fit in with a club with its roots in Struggletown. I also think members should have the potential to access GF tickets (kind of lottery system we have now depending on length of membership). Of course those that pay premium memberships can have guaranteed GF tickets.
I had a giggle at the special weekly training sessions. I thought we got them already ;D.

Yeah, that influenced what I selected in some options.
I think every over 18 member should get one vote.

Last year when we played the Hawks at the G I went out for my smoke at half time and lo and behold there were 2 Hawk fans with their 2 dogs both in knitted Hawk jumpers.
