Last chance to become a Maurice Rioli Club memberRichmond members are being advised to prepare for the inevitability that the Maurice Rioli Club will reach its capacity through the 2013 renewal period.
“Striking the right balance between offering great service, and generating maximum revenues, is important to us,” said Richmond’s CEO Brendon Gale.
“We have had a number in mind, for some time, that we believe would represent capacity in the Maurice Rioli Club membership and we expect to hit that number at some stage during renewals this year.”
In addition to accessing the Maurice Rioli Room at the ME Bank Centre, Punt Road Oval, after Richmond’s MCG games, where past and present players are interviewed, Maurice Rioli membership also includes a Grand Final ticket guarantee, should the Tigers be participating.
“I think most football supporters are aware of the realities around Grand Final ticket allocations. We are given a limited amount of tickets by the AFL and we need to, somehow, allocate them out to our members. Unfortunately, we are closing in fast on exhausting that allocation,” Gale said.
Outside of Coterie or Premiership Circle membership, Maurice Rioli Club membership is the only way to guarantee yourself the opportunity to purchase a Grand Final ticket.
Maurice Rioli Club members also have the opportunity to come along to the ME Bank Centre, when Richmond is playing interstate, to watch the action live on the big screen in the Maurice Rioli Room.
If all 2012 Maurice Rioli Club members renew in 2013, there will be about 300 vacancies left open in this membership category. Once those vacancies are exhausted, prospective members will go on a waiting list and be upgraded as places become available.
Members on the Committed Tiger payment plan can have Maurice Rioli Club membership added to their monthly debit immediately and payments adjusted as of the first debit on November 28, 2012.
Those members who pay up front, can make contact with the Club, where staff will explain how they can add Maurice Rioli Club membership for 2013. Any member wishing to make this addition for 2013, should contact the Club on 1300 742 466, or email Ash Aidone directly on
aaidone@richmondfc.com.auThe cost of Maurice Rioli Club membership in 2013 will be $255 for adults, $165 for concession and $85 for children. Further discounts are available for country/interstate and MCC members.
