Season Memberships Numbers Increase
21st January 2010 02:02PM
2010 Rugby Season Memberships for the Waikato Rugby Union are already up nearly 10% on last year.
Waikato Rugby Union Sales Manager John Mudford says the latest figures are encouraging and good news for rugby in the region.
"Interest in 2010 Season Memberships has certainly been helped along by the early bird special pre-Christmas and the added incentive that Season Members can gain preferential ticketing access to Rugby World Cup tickets if they join before 8 February, 2010."
Latest figures show that 2350 Season Memberships have been sold to date. A 9% increase on the 2009 total of 2132 Season Memberships.
"There is still six weeks of selling left to go until the first Chiefs game of the season on March 5, so we are certainly pleased with how we are tracking at this stage."
So far around 93% of Season Members from last year have renewed for 2010.
The 2010 Season Membership package guarantees rugby goers a seat at the All Blacks v Wales test match in Hamilton in June, plus six Chiefs games and seven Waikato NPC matches at Waikato Stadium. A total of 14 games in the year.
2010 Season Memberships range from $240 for an uncovered seat in the WEL Networks Stand, through to $570 for premium covered seats in the Brian Perry Stand. People can make a one-off payment or take advantage of the affordable six-part payment options. (Note: Early Bird Pricing options have now expired).
Also available in 2010 is a Chiefs-only membership, which allows membership solely for the six Chiefs homes games at Waikato Stadium. Prices range from $120 to $245. Uptake has been positive on this option.
