I'd love to be a member, and probably will take the 'out of town' membership.
I have almost no chance of going to Wests Tigers game, closest being one game on the Gold Coast only. Now I know that people will say "Oh what BS, some supporters travel every game etc etc". Now that is great, but due to work commitments that is almost impossible, and definitely not when you might only know a few weeks in advance what day and where!
So I do the next best thing. I buy a new jersey from the club each and every year. But I would like a membership package like something I have described below:
1 x Wests Tigers official cap with 'Member 2012' embroided on it.
1 x Wests Tigers Players jersey (choice of size) - so I can get one, or the kids one, or the Mrs.
1 x Wests Tigers Polo Shirt with 'Member 2012' embroided below the logo.
Other normal stuff like member pack etc and regular updates.
Or maybe a members wallet, members lanyard, kids member pencil case, or something.
For this, I would pay $250 or something.
If by chance I do get to a game, I will organise it and get premium seats etc, not general admission.
I know it is hard to tailor memberships to every possibility, but I'm just voicing an opinion. I do want to be part of the team and stuff, but I'd rather get something to show off my membership seeing that I cant be at the games.
(Maybe a voucher for replacement TV remote after I throw it during nearly every game on TV)
Swordy,
Why not just buy a Stripes membership, it's a non ticketed membership but you'd still be a member just the same. For your sixty bucks you will get a members cap, a members kit and a $20 voucher. Then you only pay for the games you can make it to. The only draw back is that being a non ticket member is you don't get first choice of finals tickets.
I've been doing that for the last couple of years as I work most weekends and couldn't make it to most games. This year I thought stuff, we're going to go all they way to the finals so I've gone and taken 3 premium siler packages
