Great chart! Shows how much more expensive our tickets are. My seats category 4 are $60 cheaper than the same Port seats! And they were cheaper last year!A week ago or so someone asked what the difference between the two clubs charge for each section. I put together a very quick chart. Note that Port divide the ground by benefits while our club divides it by price, and then the benefits are extra (gold or captains club for Grandfinal guarantee), only Ports $425 platinum members get Grand Final guarantee. This is why the difference of a couple thousand 3 game members is meaningless.

I do feel sorry for the members who through no fault of their own have gone from cat 4 to cat 2, a massive jump in fees.
It doesn't make sense to me why especially after the massive membership last year why Port would still have the same amount of GA seats as last year, at the crazy low price of $175 when they could easily charge $335 per seat instead.

The bold bit isnt correct. Since (and including) the 2008 GF the two competing clubs have been guaranteed 13,500 GF tickets each for members, with some extra allocations usually being made on the Monday afte the PF, for both club officials and club members of the 2 competing clubs, which seems to be up to 3,000 between both clubs. Most clubs now sell their grand final guarantee packages and the majority of clubs sell out their membership allocation, so I assume they cap it at 13,500 or a bit less. Port's 13,500 would be allocated as such 1) Club 1870 capped at 300 members, 2)Black Diamond 1,200 (- as a max of 1,500 seats are available and nearly all Club 1870 people sit in this area) 3) about 7,000 Premium members and 4) about 5,000 Essential Platinum members ie the people who sit in the Western Stand. Then there are GF Priority categories if the above 13,500 dont all take up the option.
Nice diagram of the costs per area. With your permission I would like to use it on the Port Board. I have put together a spreadsheet of both clubs' copious combinations of membership categories and prices and was going to present it in a spreadsheet summary, but your diagram is better. If no permission - I wont use it.
They are inflating the numbers, after the AFL tallied their numbers last year they only had 49,000. This time last year they had 34,000, But when Kochie was asked last week how many more 11 game members they had compared to this time last year his answer was "a couple thousand". So 16,000 more members but only 2,000 (12.5%) are 11 game? normally about 80% of members are 11game members for the SA clubs, so there is something odd about the breakdown of their new members compared to last year.
As of 22 August, the club’s total membership figure stands at 55,709, the official audited figure released by the AFL today brings that figure down to 48,968. The variance between the club’s total membership number and the AFL reportable number for 2014 is primarily due to a change in the way the AFL elects to treat Adelaide Oval Football Members (formerly SANFL Premier category members). Since Port Adelaide entered the national competition in 1997, the AFL had counted all SANFL Premier members – who had access to all 22 home-and-away games at AAMI Stadium – towards the audited membership figures of both Port Adelaide and the Adelaide Crows.
One of the key criteria for ‘membership’ in the AFL’s audit is that revenue is received by a club (a minimum of $50 per member). However, with changes to the stadium revenue model at the Adelaide Oval in 2014, the AFL has instead split the Adelaide Oval 22-game membership figure between the two clubs on a 35/65 basis against Port Adelaide, despite stadium members having access to all 22 minor round games at the Oval.
This change in auditing system resulted in an allocation of 2,928 Adelaide Oval members to Port Adelaide and 5,278 to the Crows. The 35/65 distribution split was based on SANFL ‘club of support’ research which had the split at 30/70. Had the audit process remained the same as previous seasons, the like-for-like comparison number would have been 54,255 – equating to a year-on-year growth figure of 14,417 member or a 36% increase.
Strange that Adelaide are the only club not to publish their ongoing membership tally. Still secretive. Scared of comparisons or like to keep 19th man in the dark? Have they learned nothing from Tippetgate?Fagan just said on MMM that it was over 50,000
Got an e-mail from the club advising me that my membership pack has been dispatched, I'd receive it in about 3 weeks and I can track the order.
First time I've ever seen the club do that with my membership, though I find it odd they'd do that for a member pack that would most likely fit into a DLX envelope.
Looks like Fagan is really cracking the whip when it comes to member interaction (and hopefully that filters through to the inept frontline staff).
Also the member card will be sent separately - first time I've seen that happen.
Or maybe just not desperate social media attention whoresStrange that Adelaide are the only club not to publish their ongoing membership tally. Still secretive. Scared of comparisons or like to keep 19th man in the dark? Have they learned nothing from Tippetgate?
Or maybe just not desperate social media attention whores[/QUOTENo, your club would love the media attention, trouble is, Notso goes all the wrong way about it
Forgot which board you're on?No, your club would love the media attention, trouble is, Notso goes all the wrong way about it
Got the email yesterday too, I wonder if its because most of us will be getting the larger gifts (scarf, coffee mug etc) so if you are not home may need to be picked up from Post office.

Im not a gold member either but I still got to choose two items when i paid for my renewal online so will be interesting if I get it or not.I'm not a gold member so won't be getting any of that. I'd be amazed if my member pack actually sticks out the letter box!
It is supposed to be Gold, Bronze and Boundary Line members that get the members choice merchandise
