Membership 2013 Final Figure - 12,705

[dlanod]

Hi guys.

We signed up as members a couple of weeks ago, and was assured that we would have our tickets/passes before today. Well, this didn't turn out to be the case.

I'm about to leave for Sydney. We live in rural NSW, and a trip to the city has been planned, accommodation booked etc. We also were planning to go to the show, but again, no tickets...

I failed to think about it yesterday, and I imagine the Giants are closed for the day today.

Is there someone I can call first thing in the morning to sort this out.

Any help would be appreciated!

I saw in one of the emails in the lead up to the game that you can pick up your cards at the game. I'll find the info for you.

Lost cards
If you have lost your membership card, please visit the Match Day Office, located at Gate A/B, open from 12:30pm.

I assume that will also apply if you haven't got your stuff yet.

Can someone confirm that the ticket will also give us entry to the show, or is this a seperate ticket?

All you need to get into the show is your membership card. No separate ticket needed. But if you're not getting your membership card before lunch that makes it problematical.

Hi.
What is the Canberra/Sydney split of members?

(Very) roughly 3000/8000.

updated now to 11,340. Thats a small jump for a week without an update until now. Pretty dissapointing after solid growth in the months previous, esp in the week in the lead up to round 1.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Nice to finally to see some movement after being stuck around 11180 for a number of weeks. Would think any more growth in numbers will come down to our on field output.

But good to remember that even if we didn't get one more member from today onwards we have over 1000 more members then we had for the whole of 2012.

 

[Cmarsh]

After being at 11,370 for a number of days, it is now 11,399.

Almost ground to a halt after such strong growth before the season starts. That growth almost seems inexplicable now.

Great numbers overall!

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Slowly moving forward now on 11,431 would think at best by the years end we get to around 12,000 which would puts us 2,000 up on 2012 numbers so that would be a good outcome.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

i am waiting to see how the list managment goes before i resign, i am still dissapointed on how chocco left & the way the giles sagga is playing out. the young blokes were great but got get more experience in. i am hoping for closer & more competitive results.

Now that Cameron has come along and seems to have a better relationship with the players then Williams had which apparently played a role in players such as WHE and Tyson re-signing and now we have 25 players signed up to 2015 or beyond. And of course the Giles situation was sorted out, and it does seem we will be more competitive this year.

So have the Giants done enough yet for you to sign up again as a member?

 

[Cmarsh]

11,474 now.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

The numbers are still slowing ticking over with us now up to 11,537.
And I guess in the next 2 weeks we could hit 12,000 members results pending of course

Finally got my GWS #9 home guernsey today. Also in the package was a membership scarf - wondering whether that's a usual thing or did they just include that to make up for taking so bloody long to send the guernsey (has been about a month - Bulldogs shop is much quicker)?

Now have the Scully home guernsey and a white clash guernsey - really like how they both fit. Much more firm and thicker material than Dogs guernseys.

I am going to sign up my baby boy when he is born

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Now on 11,983 slowly moving towards 12,000

Now on 11,983 slowly moving towards 12,000

We'll probably crack 12K before Round 7 against the Crows.

12,165 is the next target.

Hey guys,

I thought i'd try here before contacting the club. I'm an ACT member, and am making the trip up next week for the Crows game. I was wondering if i'm able to use my ACT membership to buy tickets in the members' area? The website says GWS 3 and 5 game members can, but I was wondering if this applied to ACT members too?

Basically, I don't want to get caught in the rain just in case lol.

Awesome news!

The Greater Western Sydney GIANTS have topped 12,000 members in just their second season in the AFL.

The GIANTS’ 2013 membership stands at 12,016, compared to 8,479 at the same time last year. This represents a 41 per cent increase on the year to date and an 18 per cent increase on the club’s total membership of 10,241 in 2012.

Do they ever publish a full breakdown of membership types - Canberra/Sydney/matchpass/other etc etc?

99% of them are Ultimate Giant memberships.

Nice try troll. Get back under the bridge and go back to harassing billy-goats.

Canberra's been pretty steady in the 3500-4000 range, Sydney makes up the majority of the rest (so has been where most of the growth was this year presumably).

Levels haven't been broken down, but then few clubs do so.

Has Skoda been unavailable this whole time or is it just bad fixturing by the AFL?

Pretty sure they re-lay the turf after the show, so there's a delay in it becoming available after that.
