The price goes up every year, yet the product get down graded.
I'm a Captains Club Member, as part of our membership we used to have 2 functions for Captains Club Members only.
the last few years they only do 1 function now.
If this is a continuing with memberships 10k isn't going to happen I'd say.

Social memberships and part-season are a big part of clubs revenue now and are becoming more popular. Melbourne United did a good job in 'selling' their non-full season memberships so maybe Perth can do this as well. I can't see a reason why the Cats couldn't see an increase next year. Hopefully there isn't a price increase but stability is difficult these days.

you might as well wait and buy tickets. If you end up missing a game or two due to illness, work, or holidays, then the savings are gone anyway.

I think they will be close to it again. I think a lot will depend on them expanding the nickel seating to make more more cheaper seats available and recruiting a high profile marquee player. Regardless of those factors, I'll be renewing my 2 memberships the day it becomes available :)

I was trying to remember what I paid for our memberships last year. I think they were around $5~600 for Silver, but memory is a bit vague for some reason. It is good value for the seats we have, but given how far back silver extends, I don't know if I'd want to shell out for NEW silver memberships?

Given they reclassified more seats as Nickel this season, it will be interesting to seat if the Silver or Bronze boundaries move, OR if they offer Nickel memberships for the first time. If they are good value, that may get them over the 10k mark.

As a "beneficiary" of the Mining Bust, this may be the first year in a while I have to look seriously at the cost of our memberships. Fortunately they offer a payment plan. :-)

Silver was about $450-480 from what I remember. Mine were in the good end of bronze which were only $330 from memory. Great value, might upgrade this year.

I would love to get membership after taking my two sons to there first games this year i know they will love it.
But what I cant work out is Silver/Bronze memeberships seem to be around the Bronze/Nickel GA seating.
So I cant see where I would be saving money.

NewCat,
They made more seats "Nickel" during this season, and I'm not sure if they have updated the map.

Best bet is to put your name down to have them send you the next season info when it becomes available.

Bronze are the cheapest memberships available. Basically whatever is not sold in Bronze, they set aside a certain number for GA, and those beyond that are Nickel. At the end of the day, the last person to buy a Bronze membership, and the first person to buy Bronze GA will be adjacent.
You WILL save money on Bronze by buying a membership, but if you're comparing Bronze Membership to Nickel GA there may be no saving.

One thing to remember, if you plan on being a member for a while, is that they are very helpful when it comes to moving seats at the end of each season.
