Lame Membership Numbers - Whats the fix?

[Snake]

I don't post here much.
if you offer good value for money, then won''t your membership increase?

You should post here more often Ol' Maggie !
Of course you are right :wink:

Already large percentage of memberships for next season are for the ANZ package, this does not surprise me at all …want to triple your membership = value for money in a modern and central location with transport now that's rocket science ..one day soon our club will wake up to pandering to the few is not good business!

actually it's more because the ANZ membership is $50 for 4 games (with 3 more free) while LO and CS are $110 and $100 respectively for the same number of games…

In some instances the Dogs and Rabbits prices are cheaper hence the point value for money… Leichardt and Campbelltown have limited seating so can charge what they want ..so this philosophy is charge a lot for a few and neglect the working class masses and have small membership numbers!! and to the point why do forum membership criticize the membership numbers makes no sense to me.

I been waiting about a decade for our club to work this out. I have zero faith that they will ever do it.

I'm looking at ticketed memberships this year (I've been an out-of-towner for the last couple and am looking to upgrade). A few questions have occurred to me.

1\. If you buy a family membership, do you get the kids supporter pack as well as the adult one?

2\. If you buy the Claws bronze membership for ANZ, it is $50 for adults, concessions or children, and $200 for a family (2 adults + 2 children). That means that you would be better off getting 4 adult memberships instead of 1 family membership. That way you get 4 membership packs plus greater flexibility to use spare tickets for extra adults if the kids can't make it. All other family packs have a saving of about 20%**. Am I missing something here?**

3\. If you buy the Premium gold family membership it costs $820\. If you buy the Claws gold membership for Leichhardt or Campbelltown ($455) plus ANZ ($250), the total cost is only $705, ie $115 cheaper, but you get 2 member kits instead of 1\. Similar savings happen on some other options too. **Again, am I missing something?**

I'd be interested in hearing others' decision process for choosing packages too.

Theyre pushing ANZ…heavily discounted already

Q1 is a good one, ask the club. I'd be interested to hear what they have to say.

Personally, i got a jungle. 12 games + 3 free for $200 adult. $13 a game plus all the member stuff, discounts, kit etc.

Hopefully also better atmosphere? Although the burrow and the wanderers thingo is probably better, unless im mistaken.

I renewed my membership.

Supporting my club is a given. But there is a point fir everyone when the line between support & robbery gets blurred.

As far as other clubs are concerned with interstate memberships, over half of them offer away tickets. Tigers, Knights & Warriors are the only clubs who don't have an interstate membership that provides at least 1 ticket to a home or away game.

Bulldogs charge $55 and give twice as much merch & access to a game.

Thats amazing value. The Tigers one in comparison is a rip off.

I know its about supporting the club, but when you compare the clubs interstate packages, tigers is one of the worst.

as far as advertising goes via merch, a key ring, a sticker & a lanyard do sweet little. I'd take a cap over that cheap crap.

but alas, non ticketed memberships have a smaller member kit then everyone else, just to further enhance the poor value & help convey the message that we're lesser supporters based on where we choose to live.

As a member i feel i deserve the right to express my dissatisfaction at the value for money without being mocked by condescending types on here.

ANZ is definitely good value, especially for singles. But why not give comparable discount to the family tickets too?

I was told by the club when i upgraded to a Family membership this year that you will get 2 Adult packs and 2 Kids packs as part of the family membership.

Thanks for the info.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Haven't renewed yet, but I'm VERY annoyed you can't get Leichhardt and Ctown again (what I had last season).

I'm curious - is anyone here have a Western Sydney Wanderers season ticket holder this season?

 

[TripleB]

Hybrid I was a Wanderers season ticket holder last year and I am again this year.

I couldn't agree more …. Particularly the condescending types who pat themselves on the back for going along with whatever the club serves up. The club can only move forward with constructive criticism and listening to what ALL the fans have to say.

you get a cap and a poncho which is great for rainy games to keep you extra warm.

but the interstate membership needs work, an away ticket to ACT, VIC or Brisbane would be great!!

 

[madunit]

I don't get a cap or a poncho. I was told as much on the phone. I get a discount voucher to use when buying them though.

looked through the Eels packages and gee wizz they put us to absolute shame. Signed jerseys with the more expensive packages (many named after legends of the club). Their memberships already exceed ours despite only being open to RENEWALS so far (i think) and being on for far less time.

Also read this comment i found on another forum, "I'm curious about the renewal process at other clubs? At Souths, you can sign up to what they call the "rolling rabbit plan". Basically, once you sign up, your membership is divided into smaller monthly payments which are direct debited each month. This makes it easier for those fans who struggle to come up with the payment in one lump sum.

The big benefit for the club in this, is that once you sign up, you basically agree to be a member until you contact the club and tell them that you don't want to be a member anymore. This opt out, rather than opt in approach means that when the membership options come out for the following year, those who have signed up to the plan are rolled over automatically. It's why we already have nearly 10k members after the membership has only been available for a few weeks.

Do other clubs do this? I'm guessing that they don't because most seem to have started from scratch again. So I guess the next question is, why don't other clubs do this? It would save them all the work of having to chase previous years members to sign up again and again at the start of every new year. Plus you would have to think it would make it easier for the club financially as instead of receiving the majority of memberships in one massive lump sum and having to dole it out for the remainder of the year, they would be receiving a uniform amount each month throughout the year.

I can't believe that a lot of other clubs haven't taken up this method."

"The Knights have an option rolling renewals too. Knights currently at 7,586"

If WT management are reading this, THAT is the kind of stuff you need to do in order to consistently hit 15k in a bottom 4 year, and 25k in a top 4 year.
