2011 Memberships

[ouwet]

I think ouwet meant the Western side. Which is where (last I checked) all rectangle field sports (RL, Soccer, RU) broadcasted from last I checked.

My bad... You are correct Timmah! I meant Western not Eastern...

 

[cleary89]

Good and bad. The members feel catered to that all the on field signage is pointed to theit way, but bad that the cameras dont show it.

Red White & Blue members = 7833
not bad for a club who apparently has no fans.


Would love to crack 10K.

That would really emphasise the poor memberships the Tigers have.

Apple, I'm really starting to think Wests Tigers aren't as followed as everyone thinks.

There are other ways of measuring support besides memberships (like the tigers always being in the top 1 or 2 for crowds in Sydney). I think there are other factors holding back the tigers memberships besides lack of support.

 

[Von]

Agree Billy. Memberships is only 1 indicator, but important nonetheless.

 

[Timmah]

The challenge for the Tigers is to turn the crowd figures into memberships. Other clubs have had little trouble doing so, the Tigers should really be doing better than they are in the memberships department... really they should be at the Dogs/Eels level if not more...

Oh we will my Rooster brother.

We should be over 8.5k by season kick off with further sales in first month or so of the comp to take us to 10k

I agree. I think the issue of playing at so many stadiums is a big one, and the tigers need to offer a variety of memberships to overcome it.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

The best way to judge memerships is to see how teams do after a bad season,while its nice that teams like the Raiders/Roosters have increased im not giving them too much credit after them coming off good seasons,i will wait until those teams have a bad season to see if memberships are really working for teams like that.



So far teams like the Eels and Doggies are doing great coming off shocking seasons,would teams like the Roosters/Raiders have a increase if they came off similar seasons ? i doubt it but we will see in the future.

 

[Von]

Don't know Haynetrain?

I'm sure there is always a lot of bandwagon jumpers after a successful season, but I can only state when I joined...and that was after we "won" the wooden spoon.
The tough times are when true supporters stand up.

The multiple stadiums really should be helping to inflate the Wests Tigers membership numbers rather than holding them back, similar to the advantage the Dragon's get out of being able to sell to two separate markets.

The problems with the Wests Tigers memberships, is their pricing and the perceived lack of value of some of their packages.

First off, the prices for whether you want just a membership at Leichhardt / Campbelltown or SFS are all identical. Now Leichhardt and Campbelltown are 'boutique' venues when it comes to available seating, verses the SFS which is a clear 'capacity' stadium, so why should it cost me the same for a Cat 1 membership at all three venues? The laws of supply and demand would indicate that Leichhardt and Campbelltown, which both have next to no free capacity left, should be higher than the SFS, where there are so many more available seats to sell.

Secondly if I wanted to buy at just the SFS/SCG with the Wests Tigers, it would cost me $100 for 4 games. Bulldogs and Roosters both offer 12 game GA packages for the same price.

 

[supera]

personally i think the tigers membership packages are crap, that adversely affects jumbers more than anything.

It should inflate their numbers but when handled poorly it does the opposite. The tigers membership options/prices are terrible. Until they address this they will struggle.

Penrith were about 240 and Parra 230 at the end of tonight's game.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Shocking from Penrith IMO. Its a Panthers home game and Parra only fall 10 (approx) short.

I went to the game, im not prepared to say there were more Parra fans, but it was close.
