Only comparison I can find was
22/1/2021

77k.

So we’ve got a head start it seems.
It’s goes quiet over the Xmas
as everything shuts down.

The person at the Club I spoke to said they are pleasantly surprised we have this many already. They were expecting this sort of figure more in January  .

The Club is hoping to reach 80k before Christmas.

The membership dept. is really pleased and surprised by how we're doing. They put it down to our supporters being hungry for the footy to restart and especially see live footy at a packed stadium.

As for buying tickets each week, the Club is hoping/trying to have membership barcodes that allow for our members to book ground entry online but once you enter the stadium you'll be allowed to sit wherever you like within your category section. So if you're a GA member then you'll be able to sit anywhere in a GA area rather than having to book a specific seat that has been allocated by Ticketek/Ticketmaster.

We're not far away from our highest December tally two years ago and we're well ahead of last year.
