Membership 2008 - new club record

[tiogar]

We have more non ticketeds than the rest which as has been said is Money for old rope. We have more junior memberships then anyone. Imagine the perennial basketcase has the most junior members....Hope for the future.

We wiill be on about 32,000 ticketeds come June compared with the Pies 29,000 last time they were following a spoon season. All in all the membership ituation is very rosy inded.

I spoke to one of the ladies in the Tiger Den and she said ticketed membership is over 28,000 and that's not including any sign-ups from the weekend. So we must be around 28 1/2 to 29 thousand.

not if we lose th enext 5 games straight

We went 0-9(?) last year and got 30000 so 31000 is certainly plausible this year.

THAT  was last year, this is now, and these figures are misleading, as i know for a fact tan many tiger fans this yr who have no renued their memberships were sent out freebies instead.

i know 7 ppl who this has happened to, and im sure there are heaps more, apparantly the rfc membership computer systems buggered out and sent out memberships willy nilly

no wonder we are a sham

I know this will sound stupid to most of you but what is a non ticketed member.

A tiger insider and a MCC member.  More generally one that doesnt get you into more than 5 games unless "sanctioned" by the AFL to be allowed to be counted as ticketed.

Thank you for that tigersalive .

no bs, my sister had 5 family tickets arrive in the mail, they never renued and all tickets work and have given them game access. i know 2 other families this has happened too.

my sister , being as dumb as she is, felt guillty, so she rang the club and asked what was going on. they said that their computres buggered up and have sent out thousands of tickets and they are hoping more ppl would be honest and own up.  my sister ended up paying , but the other ppl we know wont pay and they never wanted to renue  .
the club is a sham
