2025 Membership Thread

[azabob]

I received the below email on Monday.



As we wrap up the 2024 Toyota AFL season, we're already looking forward to an even bigger and better 2025.

As a member, your unwavering support continues to play a critical role in our success, and we want to thank you for being part of another record-breaking membership year. Your commitment to our Club is truly appreciated.

As we shift gears and focus on the upcoming season, we'd like to share some key updates about the 2025 membership renewal process.

Update to Committed Bulldog payment dates
To improve service and reduce delays during our busy renewal period, we've adjusted the dates for automatic renewal payments.

This year, we?re staggering payment dates to enhance efficiency and support:
Upfront payment plans will be processed on Wednesday, 23 October 2024.
Monthly instalment plans will begin on Monday, 28 October 2024.
Members will receive their renewal information via email in the coming weeks, members who are not currently on a committed Bulldogs automatic renewal will be able to renew their memberships online via their renewal notice.


Changes to membership packs
As we gear up for the 2025 season, we?ve made some changes to our membership packs:
Full-season members, including coterie, reserved seat holders and 9 game members, will receive a core membership pack that includes a membership card, lanyard, bumper sticker, a commemorative badge and a 2025 membership scarf in the mail.
Junior members will receive a full membership pack in the mail, including exclusive Bulldogs goodies.
All other members will receive a core membership pack that includes a membership card, lanyard, bumper sticker, a commemorative badge, and a $20 voucher (via email) for the Bulldogs Shop. The 2025 membership scarf along with other member exclusive items will be available for purchase at the Bulldogs Shop.

Demand for Grand Final guarantee

The EJ Whitten Social Club & Premiership Circle (Grand Final guarantee) memberships are nearing full capacity. To secure your access for the 2025 season, we encourage you to renew or add Social Club & Premiership Circle to your membership by early December to avoid missing out.


Reserved Seat renewals

If you hold a reserved seat membership for Marvel or Mars Stadium, you also have until early December to confirm your seat for 2025. If you?re looking to change or move your seat, please get in touch with the club to discuss your options.

It will be interesting to see if our membership prices increase - a couple of clubs Essendon in particular pricing has jumped significantly and a lot of members are not happy with it.

Looks like they have abandoned the Bulldogs Shop voucher option and have returned to the old fashioned members pack.

Yes I noticed that too. I think it became too difficult for them to sort it out.

My wife is going to turn our old scarves into a blanket for her 92 year old mother.

Yes, for nine game members, anything below that looks to be still getting the voucher - which they can use to purchase the 2025 membership scarf.

Considering the club chargers $12.50 for postage the $20 voucher is pretty useless.

Come on Danny, Australia post charge $12.50. Do you expect the club to absorb that cost or increase each item by the value of $12.50.

Isn't there a Dogs retail outlet there?

They are already sending membership packs so why not allow people with vouchers to have their hat/scarf or whatever posted with membership packs .

No, only thing here is the AFL store which is no good for what we are talking about and very rarely has bulldog stuff anyway.

I would have thought the AFL store would accept the vouchers - need to check, however, as you say very little Bulldog stuff.

AFL stores and the clubs are completely separate entities. No way would they accept club vouchers.

Well maybe the club should be sending AFL stores gift vouchers to interstate supporters
