We all know they inflate aspects of their membership figure, but I'd be pretty sure they're nudging 42,000 fully-fledged members.iwantmeseats wrote:You can take hawthorn down a peg or 4. They have 7000 3 and 1 day game members in TAS, and I have suspecion they may STILL be signing up dogs, cats and possible future additions to hawthorn families.
I hope that figure dosent include our ring around this week.
It was confirmed at the AGM that we have tightened down how we count our memberships, but it's pretty clear we're back down in straggler-ville.
Hopefully our unsigned fans are watching our brand of footy and will say "that's worth paying for" - because even I, as a critic of our 07-08 style, have to admit that we're very enjoyable to watch right now.
Hard, tough footy in defence, quick moving and aggressive going forward...isn't that what we always wanted?

South Sydney Saints.
Sounds pretty good doesn't it.
If you know of anyone who supports this great club and is not a member, then do something about it.
Can't understand why we cannot have more members than any other Victorian club. Must be the colors. can't be anything else.
get serious. Sign up !

if your doing it at one of the Saints tents- Bridge or Gate 7 you should get a ticket to get into the game-saint-stu wrote:I have a question about memberships.
If I renew one of our memberships tomorrow, do I still have to pay for a ticket for tomorrow's game?
and/ or if you've been sent a memberhsip card they will activate it there so take it along -
( fingers crossed I've got it right)

I think Archie said something along those lines when questioned (may have been at the AGM). He stated that our memberships were all fully paid - no give aways or freebies, which a lot of other clubs use to inflate their figures.Bernard Shakey wrote:What are the real membership figures of these clubs?
That would be the members with full voting rights, not pets, babies, kids and other non voting so called members.
How many real members do we have?

I would like to know if the Club has had an increase in the Social Club membership this year...
It was mentioned to me via email that this was the case (some 3 months back) and I would like to see those figures now and if they have not increased, what impact this has had on membership overall considering the Level 2 fiasco...
Has our membership decreased as a result of the L2
Has our Social Club membership increased as a result of the L2

I cannot answer your question but I can tell you that in L2 Sect 37-38 that seats have been taken up by Social CLub members this year that last season were either Access1 or sold on the day.St Fidelius wrote:I would like to know if the Club has had an increase in the Social Club membership this year...

I cannot believe supporters lining up to purchase tickets for entry outside the stadium....
Here they are wearing our colours and buying a ticket to the game...
We have played interstate sides, so there is no reason for them to purchase a reserved seat IMO...
These supporters are not members IMO and maybe some of the Clubs Membership Staff should stand around and ask them WHY...
We have a few Staff in the Membership Marquee, but maybe a couple should just ask these supporters why they haven't joined
Yes, it's pressure selling, so is players ringing up lapsed members

I also have a question regarding the different types of membership packages. Do memberships say that include the social club package have a greater financial yield for the club?

The Club gets the full amount of the cost of the Socail CLub membership
The Club gets a portion of the cost of the reserved seat (I think?)
The CLub gets very little if a person buys a daily seat at the game.
So for the Club it is better for a member to buy a Social Club rather than buying a Membership + Reserved Seat.
BUT the best result for the Club is for someone to buy a Membership, Social Club and L2 Reserved Seat.

from tickets bought at the gate
if the saints deal is similiar to the Bulldogs
we get about $1 per person
give your money to the club- NOT the stadium.................................
and to read the Hawks have gone from 31,000 to 51,000 in two years![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
have the saints always had fair weather member?- there AFTER you've proved yourself for two years and oh maybe after that we'll join up
why do the saints have to work doubly to prove themselves----

I don't dispute that the Hawks are claiming they have close to 50,000 members.
BUT
I also don't trust their public announcements either.
How many memberships have they sold that are actually 'sponsorship monies' converted into memberships?
A truer figure of the worth of their 'record membership sales' would be to see the actual dollars they claim they've collected from membership sales?
That's the true figure to compare, not the declared number sold.
It's possible that our 28,000 memberships sold may bring in nearly as much (in dollar terms) as their 50,000? In this raw statistic we are probably not comparing like for like?
I heard Ian Robson? (Hawk ceo) state that they'd sold 6600 Tassie 4 game memberships (included in their total). How many other variations to an 11 game membership have they sold (and counted in their figures)?
How many 1, 2 , 3 , 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 game memberships have they sold?
We don't, I believe, offer these type of 'limited memberships'.
They offer 4 'replacement games' to Melbourne based supporters (to compensate for Tassie home games).
I wonder if they actually sell any/many Reserved Seats since they play their home games at MCG and York Park?
The only true comparison is to look at the income derived from Membership sales.
