This was a reply to a BF poster asking the same thing just a few days ago:

Hi,

Thank-you for your email.

Ticketed members are all memberships that that admits you to games; therefore the Country/Interstate 5 is counted as a ticketed member as it admits to 5 home games. The Tiger Insider doesn’t allow you entry to games, therefore it isn’t a ticketed membership.

Kind Regards,

Yeah just some champion's research . . . .     

But seriously it isnt quite right because the AFL hasnt sanctioned the 3 game MCC membership.  But her reply to me was close enough.

it looks like its getting a bit tight with some members not renewing their memberships, which was always going to be the case, at least the club is trying to be pro-active in calling some of these lapsed members.

c'mon all you tiger supporters get on board....give that they may grow..

If you tie them all together you'll be able to escape out the window at the next AGM if it's going for too long.
