Due to the impacts of COVID-19, there is great uncertainty on what season 2021 may look like however our number one priority is to get you to the footy. And importantly, to do so safely.
With this in mind, we are unveiling a new membership model that gives members more control, is more efficient and takes into account the uncertainty that still remains around the 2021 season. We want to give members more flexibility and more control with their membership for season 2021.
These changes will also help our Club fight through these difficult circumstances and allow us to continue our ultimate goal of premiership success.
Changes to our membership model as well as detailed FAQs for each membership category can be found below. Whilst we do not have the answers to all your questions at present, we will continue to provide the latest up-to-date information here on this page.
2021 membership card
Your 2021 commemorative membership card has been sent with your 2021 renewal notice.
Game access next year will look different and, as such, your card does not have a barcode and will not be used for entry. Further information on game access will outlined shortly.
2021 cap or scarf
In season 2021, eligible members will be given a $20 voucher to redeem online at the Tigerland Superstore. This voucher can be used to claim your 2021 member cap or scarf, or can be used as credit towards any other item. Your voucher will be sent in early 2021.
Due to the uncertainty of the 2021 fixture, we ae unable to include a physical fixture magnet in your pack. We will provide a digital version once the fixture has been finalised.
A membership lanyard will also not be included.
Game access
There is still great uncertainty on what season 2021 may look like however our number one priority is to get you to the footy. And importantly, to do so safely. This means there could be reduced crowd capacity at games, particularly at the MCG. All members will likely need to enter a ballot for each match day, specific to your current membership product. This process will allow us to ensure you sit in your normal reserved seating area as often as possible.
We would like to stress to you that if you hold a reserved seat, your seat will still remain in your name and you’ll be able to access it as soon as it is safe to do so.
More information about game access for 2021 will be communicated closer to the season.
Price freeze
As a small token of appreciation to the incredible support and generosity we’ve received this year from the Tiger Army, we’ve introduced a price freeze, and in some cases a price reduction, across membership products for season 2021.
For 2021 only, we have also introduced a Pay-As-You-Attend model which provides reserved seat, reserved bay and premium members with the flexibility to pay a base fee upon renewal and then pay for a discounted ticket for each game they attend. To find out more, simply head to the FAQ or Pay-As-You-Attend pages below.

Automatic payment date - 1st December, 2020
As always, our usual payment options via Tiger Pay (formerly known as Committed Tiger) will be available to members. 2021 membership payment will now start on Tuesday December 1. For Tiger Pay monthly members, your payments will commence Tue Dec 1, 2020 and conclude Wed September 1, 2021. For Tiger Pay Upfront members, your full 2021 membership payment will be deducted on Tue, December 1, 2020.

Pay-in-full or Pay-as-you-attend options
We understand that financially things are tough, and for many of you, football is a luxury. That is why we have introduced a pay-as-you-attend model for Roaming Tiger, reserved seat, reserved bay and premium members. Eligible members will have the option of paying a base membership fee upon renewal and then paying a discounted ticketing fee for each game they choose to attend. The value of your base membership and ticketing fee is dependent on your membership product and level of seating.
What's the difference in payment options?
New in 2021, there are two payment options available to eligible reserved seat, reserved bay and premium members.
Option 1: Pay your membership in full
Option 2: Pay-as-you-attend! This provides you with the flexibility to pay your base membership fee and then pay for a discounted ticket for each Richmond home game you attend.
What is Pay-As-You-Attend and how does it work?
We understand that financially things are tough, and for many of you, football is a luxury. That is why we have introduced a pay-as-you-attend model for reserved seat, reserved bay and premium members. As a Premiership Circle Olympic Stand member, you will have the option of paying a base membership fee upon renewal and then paying a discounted ticketing fee for each game you choose to attend. Please note, only the base membership fee will be available on the usual 10-monthly or upfront payment plan. The base membership fee does not include any game access and is non-refundable should there be no football in Victoria in 2021.
Exact information, and process on how to register or enter the ballot, will be communicated in the New Year closer to the season.
Important: Members who opt into the pay-as-you-attend model and attend every game will not be charged more than the upfront membership price. We will contact you should you reach this threshold. The pay-as-you-attend option provides a discounted annual fee if a member attends less than all games.
Please note, the discounted ticketing fee will only be processed via a member’s nominated credit card if successful in the ballot for each specific game. Further information will be made available to members in 2021.
Why are these changes being made?
Due to the impacts of COVID-19, there is great uncertainty on what season 2021 may look like however our number one priority is to get you to the footy. And importantly, to do so safely. With this in mind, we are unveiling a new membership model that gives members more control, is more efficient and takes into account the uncertainty that still remains around the 2021 season. We want to give members more flexibility and more control with their membership for season 2021. These changes will also help our Club fight through these difficult circumstances and allow us to continue our ultimate goal of premiership success.
Will I have access to attend games in season 2021?
There is still great uncertainty on what season 2021 may look like however our number one priority is to get you to the footy. And importantly, to do so safely. This means there could be reduced crowd capacity at games, particularly at the MCG. Given the size of our membership base, this will likely result in member-only match days for some Richmond home games.
All members will likely need to enter a ballot for each match day, specific to your current membership product. This process will allow us to ensure you sit in your normal reserved seating area as often as possible.
We would like to stress to you that if you hold a reserved seat, your seat will still remain in your name and you’ll be able to access it as soon as it is safe to do so. At this stage, the exact timings of this is unknown.
Please note, we will ensure all members have priority access to attend Richmond home games before any Club tickets are released to the general public. Exact information and instructions on how the balloting process will work will be communicated closer to the season.
How can i choose the Pay-As-You-Attend option?
Online: Head to your 2021 Membership invoice and simply 'remove' the 'Access - Pay In Full' component from your invoice. You can find step-by-step instructions below.

Talk on 3aw of Richmond having member-only crowds next year.
-
Good solution
-
Great solution. We have 100,000 members so our games would be only RIchmond supporters
-
Great solution. We have 100,000 members so our games would be only RIchmond supporters
Our Members will still miss out
Couple of points:
1/ crowd numbers to be capped, say 50% at best to start with.
2/ MCC and AFL will still get access, how much is the question
3/ read the letter and this thread, there will likely be a ballot for home games
So all of that means that on a game by game basis not all our members will get access
-
Hopefully to maximise crowds, member attendance and revenue, all our home games will finally all be at the G and no more at docklands.

With the automatic renewal today, we should get an idea of how our membership numbers are tracking for 2021 in a few days time (assuming the RFC website posts the current tally).
-
Told our current tally is certainly above 60k and of today just under 70k. So the membership dept is pleased. It's been very busy this week.

Do we have a comparison to last year.
-
Sorry roger, my home internet has been down.
I can't do it on my phone but search "2020 membership" and look up the post with the corresponding tally from this time last year.
-
Same time last year
81,738
-
Thanks for that, roger. We're probably just behind this time last year but that's not unexpected given covid and the late finish to this season. Hopefully, we catch up as we get closer to the start of next season and with crowds returning albeit restricted.
-
Getting to 100,000 this year is going to be difficult but we need anyone who can afford to buy a membership to do so.
-
Any news on crowd capacity?

No
Too early for that call

Every AFL club’s membership rewards for the 2021 premiership season revealed
The loyalty of footy fans was tested like never before in a COVID-ravaged AFL season. Here’s how clubs are saying thanks to their members this year.

RICHMOND
— The Tigers have introduced a pay-as-you-attend model for reserved seat and reserved bay members. Eligible members will have the option of paying a base membership fee upon renewal and then paying a discounted ticketing fee for each game they choose to attend. The value of the base membership and ticketing fee is dependent on their membership product and level of seating.
— Price freeze, or in some cases price reduction, across membership products for season 2021.
— Greater choice on member choice items.
— Richmond has communicated to its members the prospect of member-only games in 2021 if there are still restrictions on crowd numbers at games.

CARLTON
— Pledged members with match access will also receive an additional membership in 2021, which can be given to a family member who wasn’t a member in 2020.
Guess who will be artificially inflating their membership numbers this year :whistle.

Fair way behind.

Thats going to be a massive hit to revenues. I was still hoping for 100,000 but its not likely looking at that.
-
Steady on Ramps,
I reckon there a lot of people holding off until they know if they’ll actually be able to go to games

^^^^^^this
And i think you would find that the Club would have budgeted for this.
Benny Gale has said many times in the last few momths 2021 and 2022 are going to be tougher than 2020
The Club would be prepared
-
The late finish to last season would also be having an effect. Everything was pushed back a month.
-
If we get 90k it will be an outstanding result. Another year with restricted attendance is certain and many members suffering financial hardship. Its going to be tough going for everyone.

Not certain, nowhere near it.
Vaccines start in less than a month with all the most vulnerable protected by end April. We might start at 50% but as we saw in Brisbane with no vaccine, things can ramp up pretty quickly.
The biggest issue is border control - the absurdity of these differences of interpretation of what is “proportionate” will keep Gil and the gang on edge.

From Club email:
Prior to your renewal, you would have received your commemorative membership card and 2021 bumper sticker in the mail. If your membership includes an additional fulfilment item (such as your Maurice Rioli Club medallion, AFLW pin or other), this will be sent to you in the next 3-4 weeks. Included in your 2021 membership is a $20 online voucher to be used at the Tigerland Superstore. This voucher can be used to redeem your member cap or scarf, or can be put towards any product online and will be sent to you via email later this month. You can get ready for this by ensuring your membership account is linked to the Tigerland Superstore and instructions for how to do this can be found here [ed. check your email].

I think they will end up with zero premierships, maybe 60,000 members and still $5million debt.

How do I get my digital membership? I have no clue.
I also didn’t get a lanyard. It’s frustrating. I actually like wearing my membership card and lanyard.
Can anyone help me.

There are no lanyards this year, Tigeritis.
If you have already renewed then you should have received in the mail a commemorative 2021 membership card (not usable for entry) and a members 2021 bumper sticker.
You should have also received a $20 e-voucher which you can use in the online Tiger superstore to gain your members cap, scarf or to use towards some other merchandise. Note: Although the cap and scarf (both valued at $20) are 'free' thanks to the e-voucher, you still need to pay for the parcel postage.
-----------------------------
Digital membership (from the RFC website)
Match day access information will be communicated to you in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we recommend you download the Official Richmond App and log in using your MyRichmond account details so you can access your Digital Membership Card. As we are fully digital in 2021, this card will be your ticket to all matches this season so it's important to get familiar with it. You can also log in to your MyRichmond account: https://am.ticketmaster.com/richmond/#/

For tonight's game, the club sent an email to each member with a membership barcode to use to buy tickets online.
ps. I'm told by the facility manager at Marvel Stadium that a print out of your ticket will be accepted tonight to gain entry but they are (slowly) trying to push people towards using digital tickets on smartphones.

I’m not a fan of the changes, making something complicated when it shouldn’t be , Hoping COVID is not an agenda to force reserved seating and compulsory registration.
We all have different options but the there are so many alterations due to COVID that will become permanent ,some warranted so not,but hoping membership change are not one of them.

Thanks mate.
The only thing is that when I go on link on the app to see the digital membership card it’s not a card - unless I’m doing something wrong, it only opens your Ticketmaster account with your club account ID.
It’s lame.
When you log in there is no barcode or membership info it only has “You have not yet purchased or received tickets for any Richmond events”
Even though I have tickets for tonight’s game. Nothing.
It’s dumb. I don’t like it.
Maybe I’m getting old.
I do almost everything online now but this isn’t very well set up in my opinion unless I’m just being dumb I don’t understand it or it possibly isn’t set up properly.
I don’t even know if I can get into the tonight’s game.

Tigeritis,
Tickets for tonight are direct from ticketmaster
You would have got them via ticketmaster
If you have a ticketmaster account log in to that and your ticket will be there
Alternatively, you would have got an email saying how to access your tickets
The digital thing via the app is for H&A games not tonight...that's how it was explained to me
-
Yep tickets for tonight's game are accessed only via ticketmaster and once purchased will be located in your ticketmaster account.
You also receive a confirmation email from ticketmaster with the order number and seat details.

Thanks WP. All sorted now.
I’ve worked it out.
I still don’t like the new system but I guess I will eventually get used to it like everything else.
Anyway it’s great to be back at the footy.

It will be announced prior to our next home game (Round 11) that members with designated reserved seats will no longer need to book.
Bookings will still be required for GA members and 3121 members (who have access to certain bays rather than individual reserved seats).

Gillon McLachlan on Wednesday announced total AFL Club membership has exceeded one million members so far in season 2021.
Only eight rounds into the 2021 Toyota AFL Premiership season – Brisbane Lions, Carlton, Geelong Cats and St Kilda have all broken their all-time membership records.
One in 26 Australians is a member of an AFL club.
Final numbers for all clubs will be released in August 2021, after membership sales cut off on July 31, 2021.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The announcement comes as the AFL has also advised Victorian clubs that reserve seat members can return to their reserved seats at the MCG, Marvel Stadium from Round Nine and GMHBA Stadium from Round 10.
As stadium capacities in Victoria currently sit at 85% for the MCG, and 75% for Marvel Stadium, GMHBA Stadium and Mars Stadium in Ballarat, the AFL has worked with the authorised ticketing agents Ticketek and Ticketmaster, along with the venues and Victoria State Government to reconfigure the current seating arrangements.
To comply with government approved COVID Safe measures Reserve Seat Members will be able to download a digital membership card from their club to use on their smart phone – much adding an airplane ticket or debit card to the phone’s digital wallet.
Once they arrive at the match, members will enter through the designated gate on their digital membership cards, scan in and head to their normal reserved seat/s.
In the coming days each club will communicate with their members as to their preferred approach.
If members don’t have a smart phone they can work directly with their club on an alternative arrangement.
For General Admission Members (no reserved seat), Reserved Bay Members (with no specific reserved seat) and the General Public, fans will still need to register for a ticket via the authorised ticket agent – Ticketek or Ticketmaster – to ensure their details are registered to attend the match.

Carltons a bit dodgy, considering free memberships were given out if you rejoined as a member.

West Coast have reached 100,000 members too.
From their website:
Interestingly, Richmond also announced this week that they had reached the 100k mark again this year. The Eagles managed to pip them last year and there’s still time to edge past the reigning premiers in 2021.

Their 100k includes their digital members that DO NOT get included in the AFL's official membership tally.

The boys thanking the Tiger Army:

--------------------------------------
Richmond CEO Brendon Gale said the Club’s current membership tally of 103,450 again highlighted the unwavering loyalty and support of the Tiger Army.
“To reach this membership feat is an incredible achievement that our supporters can be very proud of,” he said.
"Our members continue to set the benchmark across the league, and we have seen more than ever in recent times that their ongoing support, passion and connection to Richmond knows no limits.”
“Our people are our greatest strength, and it is thanks to them we have been able to maintain a healthy position across the difficulty and uncertainty of the last 16 months,” Gale said.
“It has been a heartwarming sight to see the Tiger Army back at the MCG in droves of Yellow and Black and we also know that their wonderful support extends far beyond attending our games on the weekend.
“Our entire Club, players, partners and staff cannot thank them enough.”

---------------------------------------------------
Richmond CEO Brendon Gale has thanked members and supporters for their on-going commitment, despite the challenges the 2021 season has presented.
“Clearly there are some anomalies this season, but what the numbers tell us is that despite the difficulties we are facing our members and supporters continue to show up and we appreciate it enormously,” Gale said.
“The competition has had to be very flexible again. Fixtures have changed, capacities have varied and some of our ticket on-sale windows have only opened very late. The Gold Coast game at Marvel Stadium was a prime example.
“Nothing has been straight forward but despite the inconvenience and frustration our members and supporters have stuck firm. They have made this Club what it is and continue to give us strength.”

The all-time AFL club membership record has been broken despite the COVID-19 pandemic limiting attendance, with 1,113,441 members signing up for the 2021 season.
The official AFL club membership tally was compiled after a July 31 deadline, with growth achieved by 16 of the 18 clubs.
Ten AFL clubs broke their all-time membership records: Brisbane, Carlton, Geelong, Gold Coast, Melbourne, North Melbourne, Port Adelaide, Richmond, St Kilda, and West Coast Eagles.
West Coast and Richmond topped the 100,000 mark for the second and fourth time respectively, with the Eagles sitting at the top of the tree with 106,422 members.

It will be very interesting what happens numbers wise in 2022 not just for us but all Clubs
Can't keep expecting people to hand over their hard earned $$ and not get to go to games because of this bloody pandemic
-
Well done again Tiger Army :clapping.
Interesting to see the breakdown of these numbers.
So the Eagles have almost half their members on a waiting list as Optus Stadium only holds 60k tops?
Did the AFL include Carlton's 2-for-1 offer?
-
Yes MT I think they did haha.
I'll be renewing again next year. Don't wanna lose my seat.
-
Did the AFL include Carlton's 2-for-1 offer?
Only if the 2nd membership is someone else's name
Rules around membership numbers are very clear
One person has multiple memberships they are only counted as one member. Have used myself as example many times. I have 2 Club XIII membership but in the membership numbers I'm only counted once
Cain Liddle who is Carlton's CEO and our former Membership guru, knows this
