Memberships 2025 Club Membership discussion

[canny30]

The club has emailed Social Club and 1859 members letting them know of an approximate $200 increase in price to membership for 2025.

The reasons for the increase as per the mail are increased costs associated with hosting events at K Park for an additional game in 2025.

Given its well known the club makes significantly more money hosting games at K Park compared to the MCG than this price increase seems ridiculous.

Yes, the costs associated with hosting particular events may have increased but the overall profit the club makes will increase.

Can someone make this make sense?

Despite the warm fuzzy feelings they try to encourage among the membership, the club seems to maximise takings in whatever way it can.

Does that help?

1859 goes from about 1200 to about 1400

Updated the thread title to be more inclusive for all membership types - an easy option to keep discussion to a single thread

And in regards to the price increase, from the looks of it all variations of club membership with a Geelong home game (KP element) have increased

what is the 1859 membership?

Similar to social club but located on level 2 of Hickey stand in the old Alex Popescu rooms. Smaller numbers than social club. The seating on level 2 of Hickey stand is probably the best view in the ground.
