For your benefit and for those that missed it the first time around, this is what I wrote in this thread on 27th March:
Let me know if I have got this right because it may encouraging people to take out a non ticketed membership or even better still have the club create a new member package:
Non Ticketed Membership = $ 75.00
Full priced jersey less 10% = $144.00
Estimated Postage = $ 12.00
Total = $231.00
Less $50.00 credit = $181.00 for a non ticketed membership plus a jersey and postage.
If you were just buying a jersey it would normally cost you $172.00 with postage ($160 + $12), so in reality you are getting a non ticketed membership for $9.00.
Assuming the above figures are correct it makes pretty good sense if you are in the market for a jersey.
Can someone tell Richo to cut out all the mucking around and offer a non ticketed membership and jersey deal, cut out the postage cost which they do anyway with the core membership package, and do it for $169.00 and wait for the stampede.
This would be pure Sheenius, and the ball is in your court Richo.
Now can someone tell me what is wrong with that?
If you can currently buy a non ticketed membership, get a core membership pack or $50 credit, 10% off tickets etc.
What is wrong with bringing in what I have outlined above?
People wearing jerseys around the place is free advertising and showing pride in the club they support and if the opportunity arises they can still get to a game with discounted tickets and get to club events.
People can't always commit to ticketed memberships for many different reasons, doesn't necessarily make them less of a supporter.
Someone pointed out that currently spending the $50 credit is not available on a jersey but that can be fixed with the stroke of a pen.
The biggest problem they may have is not having enough jerseys and needing to order more and people having to wait to have their order fulfilled, hardly the biggest problem you could have.
