Sydney FC Memberships - 2Day FM

[Alicia]

I was listening to 2day FM this morning, and they were giving away Sydney FC memberships as a prize.  Neither Kyle nor Jakie O had a clue what that entailed, but what intrigued me was they've only had memberships on sale for 4 weeks, and already they have to give them away

that's bad

give away tickets or places in a corporate box but not membership

cheapens being a member

if you give away a ticket that person may come back and susequently buy another ticket or a membership

once they are a member they could go once and put the rest of the season into the draw

makes no sense as it achieves nothing more than what a ticket does

They are pushing the memberships on Triple M as well, although they aren't giving them away. Also heard a promo on Mix for a kids team to run out with the Socceroos on Fri.

Club & Association Offer - 10 memberships for the price of 8

Dear XXXXXXXXXXXX,

Being part of a football team is a tremendous feeling. Its the same when you support a team as its the passion, camaraderie and sense of mateship that binds people together.
We know that Sydney FC fans have that feeling because we see and hear it from the fans when we play. The atmosphere at our matches at the Sydney Football Stadium is as good, if not better, than what I experienced at the clubs I was fortunate enough to play for in Europe.
Sydney FC players still talk about walking out to play Melbourne Victory last season. The deafening cheers of 33,000 Sydneysiders was one of the most amazing feelings Ive experienced in club football. That game illustrated that Sydney FC fans are growing not only in numbers, but also in passion and commitment.
Id like to invite your team to become a part of the Sydney FC team by extending this exclusive offer to Football NSW clubs and associations. Its simple, buy 10 memberships for the price of 8. Memberships are transferable amongst the members of your club* and seating will be allocated as a group. Your club will also receive a poster signed by myself and John Aloi$i to hang in the club house.
To take advantage of this exclusive offer to Football NSW clubs and associations, simply complete this form and return it to Sydney FC before 6 June 2008.
I look forward to the support of your club in season 2008/09,

Tony Popovic


*All 10 memberships must be issued under the club name; individual memberships are not available with this offer.

I think the SFC members go into a weekly ballot to be the next CEO - its easier for them than keep having to advertise the job.
