Interesting to note that last year we added 5,000 members between April 18 and the cut off, yet Geelong added less than a thousand.
Obviously fans get excited about being premiers and sign up earlier.
I think we will need to be 45K after round 1 (which we will) if we are going to crack 50K.

Tigers break membership record
12:35 PM Wed 11 March, 2009
The Richmond Football Club has broken its all-time membership record
The Richmond Football has broken its all-time club membership record for the fourth consecutive year.
The Tigers have eclipsed last year’s 30 June cut off tally of 30,800.
As of close of business last night, the Club had secured 31,052 match-day members, with a further 7,738 non match-day members.
“Breaking the record is a tribute to our loyal supporters, who have continued to join the club year after year,” Richmond CEO Steven Wright said today.
”It is very exciting time at the club and we’re really pleased that our passionate supporter base is taking this journey with us,” he said.
“We still have a number of members who are yet to renew, so we encourage them to get on board to ensure we can reach our goal of 35,000 by June 30 and hopefully 40,000 in the not too distant future.”
“40,000 members is regarded as a minimum for the future if Richmond is able to viably compete against other financially strong clubs,” Wright said.
Richmond membership tally since 2003:
2003 - 25,101
2004 – 27,133
2005 – 28,029
2006 – 29,406
2007 – 30,044
2008 – 30,820

Where are all those Blues fans telling us how far ahead they are with membership numbers? 
As far as I'm concerned we have 38,800 until other clubs can prove how many 3 game, 11 game and 22 game memberships they have and what memberships they count as non ticketed

May be we dont have a whole state behind us .... Mim 10 k members from Tassie
4 game Tassie pass ....
All clubs have 4 or 5 game Country/Interstate Memberships.
The AFL is a national comp not just a Victorian comp so you need Members in every State.
Richmond $120
The Country/Interstate 5 package includes:
Admission to a total of five Richmond home games. Members can substitute up to two of these games to attend interstate Tigers games (one ticket per game) (WA matches no longer available)

Just shows how stupid you are,you have no idea,Hawthorn don't include non ticketed in their total only the membership package and this would include approx 4,500 Tassie members.Where are all those Blues fans telling us how far ahead they are with membership numbers?

Whatever the figure is, it would be interesting to see how many non ticketed you have and what type of memberships count as ticketed and non ticketed. It's a great figure anyway and a great bench mark for other clubs to catch
2 finals series in 27 years. Could it be any clearer or are you that stupid?
That, and the fact that outside maybe 3 games each year, I can easily walk up and get a good seat without memberships, so there is not as much incentive for tiger fans to get seats when they can get seats any time, any game, except maybe Essendon and Collingwood.
That said, I will be buying a membership this year, time to make my years of support count for something.

You used to ride the little bus to school didn't you?Whatever the figure is, it would be interesting to see how many non ticketed you have and what type of memberships count as ticketed and non ticketed. It's a great figure anyway and a great bench mark for other clubs to catch
A "ticketed" member is a member that gets a ticket to see games.
A "Non ticketed" member is a member that doesn't get a ticket to see games.
I know that's a hard concept to grasp but give it a couple of days and it might sink in.
Oh and we don't have non-ticketed memberships. All of ours are ticketed.

It's Time!
Amazing if Richmond won a flag,how big this club would be.
Richmond's numbers are improving now, but it would obviously have much better membership numbers if it had any success over the past 25 years.

and we have nearly 8,000 non ticketed. You think there might be a slight chance that alot of our non ticketed packages are similar to what you include as ticketed?
2 finals series in 27 years. Could it be any clearer or are you that stupid?
Even still in those years in and after you made a finals series such as 2001 you had finishing third after coming 9th the previous year gathering 26,501 thousand members. The next year in 2002 Richmond didn't even manage to add 1,000 members to that total with only 27,251 though you did finish 14th. However just to make sure that 30,000 plus was a realistic number back then, Hawthorn (before the 'Tassie link') who had finished forth in 2001 with 30,140 finishing 6th the previous year but finishing 10th in 2002 still managed to improve by 3,000 in a final membership total 33,319. Surly Richmond supporters with the limited succes as you stated would have leaped at the fact their club had gone reasonably deep into a finals series after so much failure in September?

Alot of it has to do with making the finals in 1995 after 13 years in the wilderness and looking like a team of the future at that point but failing badly for the next 5 years under Walls and Geishan. So you wouldn't expect big membership numbers until we made the finals more than one year in succession. Membership only really started becoming popular around the year 2000 anyway. Hawks have been the best club at turning supporters into members since 2000. Don Scott made a big thing about it
And plenty of 1-game armchair members.
Heaps, last time i checked - a few weeks ago at Family day we had sold a whopping 18 of these...
