2008 MEMBERSHIP - TALLY- 30,554

AFAIK AFL Membership with Club support entitles you to the same priviledges as a Club member. The only doubt I'd have is whether the Club get as much money from this as they would if you bought a Membership through the Club.

Yeah, they wouldn't. I'm all for giving money to the club (hence the Social Club membership) but the AFL membership just suits my situation so much better.

Brochure now on line for viewing

I am liking what I am scanning.

Together........ seems to be the link word

together we are.......

[Stjohn]

Prices have been 'Frozen', but from checking what I paid last year,
it seems to have up $8.00 (for membership and Gold reserve seating).
So, I guess it's only a 'small defrost'.....

[saintbrat]

stjohn- should actually be down if adult 16- one less game than 2007- $16 less- gold reserve same price in brochure
differance in price maybe if you paid early bird last year?

new items available
student concessions as pointed out by lukel26- for 11 game or 16 game- about $10 less than regular concession

saints sidelines- with only 1 game attendance- similair to saints member pack from 2007 but with the 1 game.

player sponsor ship advertised - pg 15 of 19 online (pg 28 from booklet)
-- I guess now waiting untill team list available.

Mighty Moorabbin wing pg 8 of 19 online (pg 15 from booklet)

Tribute to Harvey pg 2 of 19 online (pg 2 of booklet)

Very impressive package.

Big tick to the membership department.

saintscentral.com.au is a sensational initative.

saintscentral.com.au is a sensational initative.

AS LONG AS;;;;

it is updated and maintained regulalry-- nothing worse than inital enthusiasm and then you wait for days before anything moves.

[saintbrat]

things I worked out

OK I didn't work one out I was told ( by a younger person ofcourse )
do you know what the silver strip on the Pen is for ?

the information booklet comes with differant covers- childrens memerbships have Nick Dal Santo on the front and they get face paint with their pen and lanyard

as well as the tattoos etc and a poster of Nick DS-

the membership card holder looks like it will be better this year
and

I'm going to win a Big telly

[Banger2Plugger]

Have no idea what the silver strip down the pen is for - got me there!

Just a word of warning those of you who have selected Easy Payment Plan - unfortunately it was too easy - they deducted the whole sum in one hit from the credit card - so check your credit card statement.

Contact Stkilda memberships to fix it - they were extremely helpful and obliging so don't berate them - the error was not of their making some glitch with the ticketmaster system.

Well I've faxed off my Social Club membership form and I'm eagerly awaiting the AFL 2008 membership pack to be released. Hopefully see you at the Dome after a victory in round 1!

I thought it was holding a fixture or something But try pulling it out from the barrel of the pen

[st_Trav_ofWA]

try getting it back in is more of a challange !!!

Congrats on knowing how to use a fax machine.

Kids - FYI a fax machine was really cool at the start of the 1990's!!!

[Raven]

Hey, I know when I'm cool, you don't have to tell me.

[saintbrat]

try getting it back in is more of a challange !!!

need to be gentle- although I felt the pen itself was more solid than some you get as 'freebies''
My niece wants kosi on hers though- I suggested colour copier and wider sticky on one side only-

like the pull out banners that you sometimes get at the footy they do tend to wear on the edges.

But Hey if we get a decent pen with just St Kilda on it and The Age are good enough to assist - Thank you !

[st_Trav_ofWA]

i think the lanyards are of a crappier quallity this year thoug both mine and my mrs has a twist in it so it wont sit flat on you neck

[saintbrat]

First membership numbers- thanks davo027

3,500 in first two weeks

[benengel14]

Spoke to the club today about delay in renewal packs, they are sending family membership renewals out today.

[Saints94]

How much would it cost from 12 to 15 year olds?

[saintspremiers]

7,500 memberships approx per the club

[Oh When the Saints]

On the 16th December 2005 (prior to '06 season), we had 16,703 members.

With higher interest rates and prices in the economy, missing the finals, a lack of really effective promotion and the end of a short board dispute, it will be interesting to see what our membership levels are like by the time Round 1 arrives.

In the week immediately prior to Round 1 in 2006, we had 26,221 members.

In the week immediately prior to Round 1 in 2007, we had 26,466 members.


IMO we will be doing well to have 20k prior to Round 1 this year with all that has happened at the club last season, and the added financial pressure on people in the wider economy.

Strong success in Rounds 1-8 will be vital for our membership and bottom line in 2008.

Um, the club only started selling memberships a couple of weeks ago, way later than previous years.

Your not comparing apples with apples!

[iwantmeseats]

7500 already? Seems pretty good? Wonder how it compares to this time last year?
