Hope we can bump this up a little, even to Carlton levels.

An extra $40 a member is an extra $2.5m.
recent surveys by the club have shown that they need to do more to make interstate members feel more involved. (whatever that means)

What they have done this year, is introduce a $10 booking charge per seat for interstate games for these members  ::)

 yes  not amused   and our seats will not be any better either
The question we all want an answer too
Are These The Real Richmond Tigers ?

Per seat? Not per transaction?

you're kidding  :o :o

I had heard they put a charge on but $10 per seat...... :facepalm :facepalm

Would be interesting to hear their reasoning behind it

Perhaps it's one of their ways of increasing revenue per member  :-\

Should be per transaction based on their reasoning for it. It's to stop people not turning up and therefore people missing out.

apparently we get an allocated number of seats at interstate games. People would nominate a game for a ticket and not show and they had other people wanting to go but couldn't use the seats.

Thanks for that

Then it should be $10 per trasnaction not per seat - like you said

the letter said adults will incur $10 per game to book a seat, when booking interstate tickets.
That to me reads that each adult will incur $10, which is $10 per seat.

either way it is a disgrace, considering that, I'd think,  most interstate members would not use their full allocation of 5 games and our membership is basically a donation to the club.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."
