Just out of interest, I thought I would compare what the Bulldogs have to offer me as opposed to my favourite AFL team. Both are comparisons based on an interstate member not able to attend games.
Dogs AFL
Cost $65 + $3-95 handling fee / $60
member card No / Yes
Lapel pin No / Yes
Bumper sticker 1 / 3
Season Guide mag No / Yes
Season Annual mag No / Yes
Fixture magnet No / Yes
Voting rights after 3 years / immediately
discount at shop 15% / 15%
Special member emails Yes / Yes
Lanyard Yes / Yes
$20 value Shop voucher / choice of 1 of shop voucher, beanie, cap, donation, scarf or 2 GA tickets
Free entry to reserve grade games No / Yes
4 games tickets Yes / No (But I can't get to games!)
reciprocal game access Yes / No (But I can't get to games!)
Priority tickets origin/finals Yes / No (But I can't get to games!)
Member only events access Yes / Yes (But I can't get there!)
So what do I REALLY get for my money?
CB $68-95 - 1 sticker, 15% discount at shop (can get cheaper elsewhere), $20 voucher & lanyard (what the hell do I use that for?)
AFL $60 - 3 stickers, member card, lapel pin, 2 magazines, fixture magnet, 15 discount at shop (can get cheaper elsewhere), lanyard (as above), $20 choice
Which is better value? In my opinion the AFL is double the value of the Dogs pack & cheaper.
