Almost 5k ahead of last year. The price rise came at the start of March last year so we had a big Feb and quiet March. This year sales should be consistent with no price rise so if we maintain a 4-5k gap after Feb then we should widen that gap by 1-2k after March

No coincidence that our membership has increased ever since we got rid of that useless hack Post...

Richmond has the equal cheapest kids’ memberships at $45.


AFL clubs offer vast array of membership packages for fans

ESSENDON has the league’s cheapest 11-game general admission membership this year as the club deals with the fallout of its drugs ban, a Herald Sun membership survey has found.

The Bombers charge $170 for home games at Etihad Stadium, while Adelaide is at the top end of the scale — charging $250 for an 11-game general admission membership.

As clubs increase their membership campaigns, the Herald Sun gathered prices from each AFL club about their deals.

All offer a mind-boggling array of products and prices — even standard 11-game home membership prices and packages vary considerably.

Gold Coast had the most expensive kids’ general admission membership at $105 and Richmond and Brisbane the cheapest at $45.

The cost of guaranteeing access to a Grand Final ticket should your team make it also varies greatly.
 
Brisbane fans can pay just $40 on top of a game access membership, while adult Collingwood supporters must buy a Legends reserved seat membership that starts at $756.

AFL Fans Association president Gerry Eeman said it was a shame some clubs appeared to sell Grand Final guarantees to the highest bidder rather than award them to those who attended the most games.

“However, some clubs should be congratulated for keeping their memberships low,” he said.

“Members remain the lifeblood of the game.”

The good news is that AFL club members with match access will get free access to NAB Challenge games.

Some clubs also have flexi memberships allowing fans to take friends, using as many game credits as they like per game until they reach a limit.

All memberships are now counted towards a club’s tally.

Membership has been increasing since Richo retired too

I put it down to the Justin Charles drug suspension.
