Guys

I thought I would start a new thread about this as I wanted to pat everyone on the back for the ideas with helping the club reduce the debt.

Through a few different people in the 'Getting rid of the $4.5 million dollar debt' thread (mainly 45hotgod and Cards13) I put the proposal for a 'dual MFC membership concept with the giving away the entry ticket to someone less fortunate' to the club as my company could have also assisted in helping the club.

Well I received an email from Fiona McMahon (MFC membership manager thanks Rogue) who said the board loved the idea and they will be trying to introduce it for next season. The AFL didn't want to use an external company but have stated that ticketmaster have the ability to do it with their software and the club is contracted to the AFL's members service who believe they can delivery the concept.

Although it is just the beginning and the club will be workshopping it over the next 3 montsh I thought a congrats to demonland as this maybe a great thing for the club....

p.s now we have to get on board

That's excellent.

A shame they're not going with your implementation, though

PS. Don't mention it.

The hard part is getting ticketmaster to release the tickets once that happens I can't see membership services wanting to do the extra work so you never know I might still be able to help

Good to hear WM. Disappointing your concept at this moment can't be part of it but would be so stoked to see this implemented, it would be such a good way for us as a club and community to give something back. It would be good if we had game day ambassadors who could maybe give tours of the ground and some of our history to these groups (refugee groups) to make them really feel a part of it and hopefully go on to support the club.

Now we need some more ideas around reducing the $$ debt, buying the extra memberships and using them to advantage is great but some other strategic ideas are still needed.

I'm still really interested one idea that was raised around a pay for preseason camp experience. If it can be slotted into the preseason to fit with the coaching staffs approval, I think it could make some decent $$.

Or

The game day in the life experience, $$ to experience the game day of an AFL player. Sort of follow one of the boys around as they prepare for the game...

Anything that allows the fans to get a closer experience of what they go through. I think they will be good earners
