Wasn't a home game.Mr Pumblechook said:Only 326 new members after the first game? Surprising.
AstuteTiger said:thats what i meant Baloo, we no longer have non ticketed that r relevant to the overall tally which is a good thing and the tiger insider as we know now incorporates a 3 game membership...
willo said:Not quite correct AT. I asked for clarification from the club re membership totat. Approx 34,000 ticketed, the rest are kids and others? with "Access membership" or some such.
So it looks like we are combining all memberships.
I was under the impression that we did away with the "non-ticketed", but it seems like we total all memberships (except babies and maybe pets ;D) rather than in the past keeping separate tallies and then totalling them.
Punxsutawney Phil said:the numbers now have less meaning. with all the different types of membership, the better figure would be how much money each club has earned from memberships each year.
Looks nice when sponsors are sort after. Or when stadium deals are looked at.Tigers of Old said:Bingo. Unless memberships are regimented across all clubs, figures are actually pretty meaningless and deceptive.
Exactly, and for that reason it is astonishing that the AFL doesn't more closely scrutinise what passes as a membership. E.g., free memberships handed out as part of sponsorship deals are counted.Giardiasis said:Looks nice when sponsors are sort after. Or when stadium deals are looked at.
But which kids? Kids under six get in for free, so their memberships are essentially non-ticketed. I have two kids under age 6 with "memberships" - I wonder if they are counted.AstuteTiger said:it is correct Willo, kids memberships with game access are included in the tally

Tigers of Old said:Easing off. Only winning one game again so far this pre/season is not helping again.
Need a competitive effort at least against the Aints to see impressive increases from here.
AstuteTiger said:100+ per day over a week is 500-600, over the next 12 weeks id luv 2 get min 6,000 members signed which would have us at about 48K but we need at least 3 wins min in the first half of the season....
Tigers of Old said:True. BTW I get the shorthand thing with BF. ;D
