The price of success

[mischap123]

This relates to my Doggies membership for 2013. With a successful year in 2012, my family membership has gone up 36% from $275 to $375. Still fairly cheap but considering the 80K+ capacity of their home ground, you'd think they'd keep it low and bolster their membership numbers.

From 2011 to 2012 it went up an understandable 10% from $250 to $275

Interested to know what the other clubs are doing

My Knights membership went up less than 10% but that was coming off a pretty low base.

I think that increase by the Dogs is pretty outrageous!

 

[tak35bne]

My Broncos membership is $355 (that's with my Veterans concession) the full membership for my wife is $425 so I would love for it to go down to $375.........

I should also note that this is for UNRESERVED general admission seating from around the 10m line and behind the posts for a family of 4

My seats cat 1 are the same price i think, But what is more dissapointing Mischa, is the people who had cat 2 seats along the sidline are now cat 1 seats, over $100 dearer, Success shouldnt involve ripping of your supporters,

From bulldogs--

I was a Category 2 Member last year, why has my price increased?
In 2012 in consultation with the NRL, the Bulldogs undertook an extensive review of our Membership and Ticketing program. A key finding of this research was that some of our Premium seat prices (Sections 129 and 132) were well below market value.

By comparison, seats in these bays at Souths, Swans and Waratahs games would have been at or above the 2013 price level for the past several years. In addition, casual ticketing in this section was classified as Category 1 seating for all major codes (including Bulldogs matches) and events. As such, to ensure the Club operated at correct market value, the decision was made to re-classify bays 129 and 132 as a tier 1 (Pedigree Platinum) Membership section.

It should also be noted that since 2008, the Bulldogs Membership program has improved significantly, including a greater number of events, publications, merchandise and more. During this time the price of Membership in this section has increased by just over $35 per person for Families in 5 years (24%) .

We understand that this price adjustment will not be preferable for everyone which is why we have opened up quality seating less than 10 metres to the left and right of the current bays (sections 128 and 133), for a slight price increase - which is still 30-60% cheaper than Souths and the Waratahs respectively.

In addition to these pricing adjustments we responded to research and have also improved the Member benefits significantly, with a high quality cap and backpack as standard, as well as the ability to purchase premium additions not available to other Members.

Parramatta arent even selling them yet. Blamed the Parramatta Stadium Trust but that was sorted 2 weeks ago. The 100 or so people interested in renewing have probably lost interest by now

Wow you guys get a high quality cap and backpack that's why it's gone up so much.

We haven't yet been approached for 2013 but ours was $15k for 5 games at Kogarah and 1 at Wollongong last year......

 

[KyleP]

Dragons have general admission adult membership for 12 home games for $150, prices higher for bronze, silver and gold up to around $450.

 

[razor77]

Our price has gone up to pay for dessie

 

[1967Sharks]

Our price has gone up to pay for dessie

I would say thats money well spent.

$15k seems a little pricey?

Knights international membership is $85, pretty sure that's the same as last year. Although this year we get a scarf, which we didn't last year!

 

[KyleP]

Dragons platinum membership is $1350 for an undercover gold seat, but a normal Gold seat reserved membership is $470. Not sure what is $15k, i would expect a stand to be named after me for that.

Dogs raked in over $1 million in sales in Sept alone, Minor prem of $100K plus other endorsements - Dessie is paid for already. They're just adding cream

Dave, just to clarify seeing your feeling not so bad, that $375 is not each it is for the entire family

Table of 10 in the Chairmans Club, our company is a long term corporate sponsor. It includes a couple of events Corporate Golf / Capt Run training sessions etc. Too cheap IMO, it pays for itself with the business we generate out of it.
