current 3452 members

goal 10,000

We are 65% ahead of last years figures at the same time

Last year at March 9 we had a 4935 members- so we should smash that

 

[Skitz68]

Great stuff lets hope we do smash that figure and then some .
Membership = Well worth doing

 

[westie]

How many are ticketed?

 

[gronkathon]

I believe we are only advertising our ticketed members. That is what our tally last year was based on

 

[RAB-161]

Souths have just passed 10,000 members. 6,380 ticketed. I hope that all Sydney clubs take up the challenge to compete against each other. The competition between Souths amd St.George Illawarra to reach 10,000 ticketed first last year helped both clubs to reach their targets.

Tigers now 3709

I think they could definatly do more to sell memberships, I mean if you want one you can get one but they could do so much more, for a beginning though a pay by the month/ fortnight package on the website not just a sign saying it will be their in October when it is November. The pinnacle membership for example is 990 which seems like lots but if they sold it as $20/ week then it seems like nothing - When will the NRL learn from business

I think they are doing pretty well - they have a stack of options and they do break it down the month...

They have players calling up members to renew..... I think the rest is up to the fans....just have to support your club

We're certainly getting better... and it is a learning process. But clubs like Souths and Canterbury have shown the way. It's a long road, but realistically we should be aiming for 30k at a very minimum (yes we'd need a stadium not built in 1930).

Only 3 thousand people claiming they are fans of the club? Even in our darkest of dark days... more people turned up to be embarrassed than those who claim to be fans of the club now. Put like that, it actually seems a pretty poor number.

We've gotta instigate a culture change. Even at the worst of times, there seemed to be 5k who would turn up every week. At the best, we had 80k, with countless others locked out of the GF. These people should all be locked in.

Can we do it?

 

[Vic Mackey]

Souffs do it better then anyone, just go to one of their home games to see how a club should be run

I hate them as much as anyone but they are that far ahead of us in this regard it isn't funny

 

[moltznmarshall]

i was there in the 'dark days' including on the hill at that Brisbane shocker at Leichhardt and for the Danny Williams Show but I can't really justify getting a membership. It's not that I don't want to or can't, it's just that I can't tell in advanced if i'd be able to get to all the games. I still try to get to as many as I can though. Now the club has brought in this non-ticketed membership package for people like me, but $60 for a Chinese made cap and a bit of an ask! I guess id rather spend the $60 on a good seat for a blockbuster game, that has a greater profit margin for the club than a $60 membership and i'd be happy to part with $60 for something like that.

Anyway, i'll probably end up getting the $60 membership regardless, but I can see why people would have second thoughts.

Tigers are now 3812 members

aw - c'mon mate, you get an awesome keyring and a sticker too!

 

[TiggaPlease]

I just get the bronze 12 game membership, I try make it to as many games as I can and because it's GA it feels much more flexible as i can take as few or as many people with me as I want and don't have to worry about not being able to sit together.

The merch you get in the pack is a load of crap though. The highlight last year was the christmas card signed by Arana Taumata.

 

[Joe's Magpies]

Tigers now have 4059 members for season 2011.

 

[Vic Mackey]

That's a top effort so far, how many did we have this year? Was under 5000 I think

 

[westie]

3-4 I think.

I guess we're pulling a Dragons and counting the 3 game packages as fully ticketed members?

 

[Joe's Magpies]

Whad had about 6500 for season 2010.

 

[westie]

Are you sure? I'm 99% sure we had no where near that many carrying a season ticket.
