Also I'd say this is directed at the "summer holiday" season. Provided it doesn't undercut the cost per match of buying a full season ticket IMO it's a good initiative. But I don't resile from my previous comments about "the numbers." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InMyHeart Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 It is very hard to convince and convert people into following our club and open to getting down to 1 game. When they do get to 1 game its hard to then get them coming to 2-3 more. After you have a person attending these games its silly to expect the conversion for these people to jump straight into full season memberships will be high. Thats why to soften the point of entry you make available these reduced game memberships so that when the next season comes around they buy the full season one. That's just the evolution of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally hate these 8/7/5/3/2/1-game membership. Can't people just buy a season membership ffs? The reason we're now full season members is that we've done the 3 match memberships, last season twice, for a couple of seasons. They are excellent for people who can't commit to every match, and for those who are making a greater commitment than individual matches. Great approach IMHO in moving fans to a greater level of commitment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raw10 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Judging by this, I can't believe people still want to sign up to that rubbish of a club across town than us. For every one person that joined us, 2 decided to go with Victree. The fact that we have just won FFA cup means fuck all to these people..

These must be fans that already supported Victory at some stage of their lives and probably just decided to join again on a short term membership. You have to realise they have 5 years on us so l wouldn't worry about more members signing with them. I'm convinced 'new' members would opt for City.

I was at my son's primary school the other day for a all school function and atleast 3 blokes I was talking to all got on the topic of A League. They had all been to City games this season and were seriously considering getting memberships 2 were looking at the 5 gamers. Anyway the key to any growth will be through the kids. Primary school generation. If the club can engage with this demographic on a big scale across the suburbs this IMO is were the growth will be. Older groups that already have developed ideas about the A league and soccer in general are much harder to crack. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club focusses on schools and local teams you could still capture their parents. Give out tickets for prizes, involve them in the match day activities, develop Gosch's etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get the kids the parents are a given. Definitely alot of work and it's not going to be one offs it has to be an organized continual sell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
