Re: 2010 Social Club - 3/4's full already!
This gets a run on bigfooty and I have to post, so here is my post. Just looking at the figures we have increased 810, 830 and 700 over the last three weeks. Family day normally sells about 700-800 memberships so with 5 weeks to go and family day we must be some chance to break 25000-26000 before the season starts.

Re: 2010 Social Club - 3/4's full already!
I was pleasantly surprised when I called the Membership Department during the week to hear a recorded message saying that the Social Club was full and that names were being taken to form a waiting list.
They also said that reserved seating was filling fast, and that Gold Level seating was sold out. That can only help the bottom line, and the atmosphere at our home games!!!!Footscray member since 1980.Comment

Was reading about how the Season launch had to be changed due to extensive damage to the victory room, anyone have any idea if it will be up and running by round 1? If not is there a plan B for the social club (I think I remember it being in the Victory room)?Comment

I have a mate that was looking to buy a membership. He wanted Premiership Gold to guarantee a GF ticket, but because he can't get that now he isn't buying a membership at all!Comment

There are other packages available. The person only has to ask when they phone the membership department. As David Smorgon has said on many occasions, you are either with us or not. "Where there is a will there is a way." (no excuses)

The key to more memberships now is a guaranteed Grand Final seat
There doesn't appear to be a way of getting this now that the social club is full??????????Comment

It’s an issue the membership team hasn’t had to deal with in the past, and it could have an effect on breaking through the 30K/32K barrier.
Also, If a large portion of the 6000 members yet to sign were previously social club or reserved seat members, they may neglect to sign up this year as they believe there’s ‘no point’ .
Tough biscuits, I say, but it still will have a negative effect on membership revenue.
How does a club like Hawthorn overcome this?
Do they have more Grand Final tickets allocated to their social club/Premiership Gold members (or equivalent)?Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment

Re: 2010 Social Club - 3/4's full already!
I believe (?) that the % cut of gf tickets is slightly variable, favouring the team with more members.
I've been a Social Club Member for about 4 or 5 years, and a "full member" since about 1997, and haven't been to one home game in all those years.
So I have little sympathy for Johnny Come Latelys who cry when they miss out.
ANd obviously, if you are a "full member" at least you get an entry to the raffle that the GF ticket allocation is, rather then no chance at all!Comment

So glad I got my Social Club as part of my Bulldog for Life Silver Membership. Procrastinate and you'll have to wait!
P.S. Made the Seniors List!!Comment

Re: 2010 Social Club - 3/4's full already!
So are we supporting the Club with Social club only, or are we wanting to support the club with a membership? We need all our supporters. I am confident we will break the 30,000 members barrier by the end of this week. Isn't this what we want? more members, or am I on another planet. Da Druid you are spot on! procrastinate and you will have to wait.

I agree. I don't care whether they're a Johnny-come-lately or a member since 54. We need them all. It is critical to our very existence.
Once they become a member we are in a better position to secure them as a member in future years.Comment

Sheesh if having a membership to go watch the current team run around in the regular season is not enough, I fear nothing will.
On a side note I was looking at the fixture and noticed that there are 3 Friday night home games (4 with the replacement), 3 Saturday games (or 2 if you take away the interstate but add the replacement) and 5 Sunday games.
Not that it affects me (being in Adelaide) but if I were in Melbourne I wouldn't be able to attend Sundays (I play soccer) and I am sure that certain days don't work for people one way or another. Would offering a membership that you could nominate a specific day to remove be a drawcard? Or would it simply mean existing members changing their memberships?
eg "Friday and Saturday" Membership: 6 Games
"Friday and Sunday" Membership: 9 Games
"Saturday and Sunday" Membership: 7 GamesComment
