With four days to go until the start of the season, the Reds have over 27,000 members on board for 2012 and need a further 2,846 members to reach their target of 30,000.

Don't forget that the reds are also counting memberships that aren't ticketed ones. The forever reds memberships are essentially a social membership that only gets you discount to tickets among a few other things. I think it is 75 each, so no surprise the reds membership numbers are high.

marketing department. not having a crack there TOCC, would have though tit would be standard practice everywhere. if 10000 seats are already accounted for from stadium membership, then surely it counts on some level.

Ok so my grounds for dispute on the subject is that Suncorp has consistently maintained a high membership number, now i doubt this fluctuates too much.

So the Reds have 6'000 members in 2010, in 2011 that figure increased to 15'000, and in 2012 that number is looking towards 30'000.
So at what point did these stadium figured get included?

It obviously wasnt 2010 becase the stadium figure already eclipsed the Reds number, if it were in 2011 then that would suggest the Reds membership base actually shrank(15'000 - 10'000 = 5'000) which is highly unlikely given the added impetus which was placed on marketing and packages during that period.

So was it 2012, which would mean that the flowover effects from the GF and RWC has only equated to a extra 4'000 memberships(29'000 - 10'000 = 19'000)..

Not having a crack, but its genuinely a rather significant issue, membership figures, tv ratings and average audiences obviously figure highly when it comes to sponsorship negotiations.

For $185 you can buy a Reds signed jersey and have some change left over

I can confirm, through day job, that the Reds do NOT count the stadium members.

That's fair enough as the membership subscriptions don't flow through to the Reds.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of subscriptions for each category, eg full season ticket members, 4 game packages etc from each team. This would give a better reflection of the success of each team's membership drive since a full season membership would be more valuable than the ones below that level. However, as this would be commercially sensitive data, will have to wait until hell freezes over. ;)
