2014 Membership tallies - Final AFL 2014 Tally in OP

[Cmarsh]

13,047 is the final figure for GWS for 2014.

Grown every year so far since inception.

 

[Arwib]

im sure they would have, as the AFl negotiated both of them.
it will be interesting how the WCE and freo go at the new stadium in WA. they have great stadium deals as Subiaco ATM.
the crows and PA from what we hear just pretty much signed what was put in front of them for the Adelaide oval

It's more that they're both government trusts without other intermediaries.

You would reckon Eddie would put his hand in his very deep pockets and buy the rest just to get to the 80,000

[Last of the Roys]

For those doing the membership ladders, Brisbane's total is now on 24,013, just over 100 behind last year's final figure.

Although, the Lions figures (and I am sure those of other clubs) don't show what percentage of the tally now consists of 3 game memberships. I have a feeling there has been a much bigger decline in full memberships in Brisbane than we really know publicly because of the inclusion of all membership categories in the tally over the last few years.

AFL has announced the 'results'.

Interestingly, they include what counts as a member...

Receive membership pack.
No pets

Are those figures fudged from "one game" memberships? If I go to maybe one game a year if the Dogs come to Perth I wouldn't class that as a membership even if I could, why can people do it when they live in the same damned state??!!

There are 98,252 non-access members, and 193,810 reduced access members, so I'd say yes. So long as it's $50 or more, has contact details and a membership pack, it counts.

Must admit, $50 for no access seems odd.

 

[finders]

Thats a great result Next stop 1 million members.

Not really, the Dogs have categories of this and I'm sure a few other clubs do.

Why?

I mean really, on an average weekend, capacity across all games would be maybe 600K. What's the benefit of having 2 members per seat?

Oh, I'm sure most if not all clubs do, but I just don't get why you'd pay $50 for a lanyard/card.

Probably to feel like you are supporting and part of the club particularly if live interstate or overseas and can't attend any games.

Sure, but are there really ~100,000 people like that?

good to see a small club like North Melbourne have a large jump in members

Agreed. Similarly, GWS's lack of growth must be a concern.

In Victoria, the bulk would be home game membership so club members only go to 11 out of the 22 H/A matches. So it's not really 2 members per seat per se.

I think the AFL would be counting on something like this to reach a million members:
Coll 100k
Rich 80k
Ess 80k
Haw 80k
WC 70k (with new stadium)
Adel 70k
Port 60k
Carl 60k
Freo 60k (with new stadium)
Geel 50k
Syd 50k (Buddy factor)
North 50k (Carey-era young fans now adults having families)
Melb 40k (once outside their doldrums)
St K 40k (post-rebuild)
WB 40k (post-rebuild)
Bris 30k (post-rebuild)
GC 20k
GWS 20k

Most fans dont go to every game.

kudos to the league for releasing the figures in detail. First time i can recall such effort.

There are a lot of MCC members who buy club non access memberships to support their club. Melbourne has thousands of them and I see your club sells them as well.

im sure Essendon has the most non access members in the league. i assume it is because of playing the 11 games at ethiad and 7 at the MCG
