PORT Adelaide supporters who show their True Passion and join up as 2013 Members will be part of an exciting new era at Alberton and also secure access to the best choice of seats for the Club’s historic arrival at Adelaide Oval in 2014.

Port Adelaide’s 2013 membership campaign is launched today under the We Are Port Adelaide: Show Your True Passion banner, showcasing supporter loyalty and commitment as a force that will drive the Club into one of the most exciting phases in its long history.

The new look weareportadelaide.com.au membership site is up and running now for 2013 memberships, while 50,000 tailored renewal and application brochures are being sent to 2012 and former Members this week, along with a flyer featuring important details about our move to Adelaide in 2014. You can also see the flyer at the bottom of this page.

“We Are Port Adelaide resonated strongly with our people in 2012 and that continues to underpin our primary message for 2013,” Mr Thomas said.

“Passion has been a trademark of Port Adelaide people for generations and in the coming years those who join up with us as Members will have even more to be passionate about,” Port Adelaide CEO Keith Thomas said.

“We’ve got a new senior coach in Ken Hinkley in charge of a strengthened coaching panel, new players, the return of one of sport’s most highly-regarded fitness experts and the leadership of a Board now led by Chairman David Koch, and everyone is determined to deliver success.

“With our Members’ support we can achieve that. We can all combine our shared passion as we embark on our farewell AFL season at AAMI Stadium next year and continue the journey home to Adelaide Oval and the incredible experience and future that await us there.”

2013 PAFC MEMBER BENEFITS RE 2014 ADELAIDE OVAL

2013 Members who join the Club before 28 February will secure a PAFC 2014 ADELAIDE OVAL SEAT HOLD GUARANTEE or a PAFC 2014 ADELAIDE OVAL SEAT HOLD PRIORITY, securing an exclusive opportunity to select the best available seating allocation in their category at the outstanding new home of AFL.

“We are rewarding the people who are loyal to Port Adelaide,” Mr Thomas said.

“Signing up with us for next year before the 28 February cut-off is the best way you can get the guaranteed advantage of selecting preferred seating in Port Adelaide Member areas at Adelaide Oval ahead of 2014.”

PAFC 2014 ADELAIDE OVAL SEAT HOLD GUARANTEE:

• 2013 Members who join up and select a Power season ticket package by 28 February 2013 will secure a PAFC 2014 Adelaide Oval Seat Hold Guarantee for the inaugural AFL season at Adelaide Oval.
• This will guarantee you access to the best available Port Adelaide Member seating in your equivalent category at Adelaide Oval.
• The Club in early 2013 will allocate you the best available seat at Adelaide Oval.
• You will then be invited to take advantage of an exclusive Member-only opportunity to confirm, change or upgrade your allocated position.

Port Adelaide supporters wanting to secure the best seats for our Members at Adelaide Oval are urged to consider a Power season ticket package for 2013 (Silver, Gold, Platinum, Club 1870 or Essential Power categories).

Non-season ticketed Member categories will receive a priority option on seating to be allocated after season ticket holders and prior to the general public in mid-2013.

PAFC 2014 ADELAIDE OVAL SEAT HOLD PRIORITY:

• Become a 2013 Port Adelaide Football Club Member without Power season ticket benefits by 28 February 2013 and you will earn a PAFC 2014 Adelaide Oval Seat Hold Priority for the inaugural AFL season at Adelaide Oval. • You will gain priority access to choose Adelaide Oval seating, but it will be after Members who commit to 2013 season ticket membership packages and before the general public.

“When it comes to sharing the opportunity and excitement at Adelaide Oval we want to be loyal to the people who are loyal to Port Adelaide,” Mr Thomas said.

“Quite simply, if you’re a season ticket Member in 2013 yours will be among the very first seats we allocate for Adelaide Oval, based on where your seating is at AAMI Stadium.

“For example, our 2013 Platinum Members will be the first to have Platinum seats allocated at Adelaide Oval and they’ll get the first opportunity to lock into that or upgrade to other options including the Premium Platinum category we will be offering in 2014.

“So come along for 2013 and share in our last year of AFL at AAMI Stadium and also put yourself in the guaranteed prime position for the best spots at Adelaide Oval.

“Port Adelaide’s transition home to Adelaide Oval will transform the football experience of our Members from the moment they lock in their seating there, early in 2013.

“We will be using world’s best venue seating and ticketing technology for our members so the transition will be as simple and efficient as we can possibly make it. What we’ve got planned is really exciting and our Members won’t believe how easy it will be.”

MEMBERSHIP INFO GENERAL

The cost of Port Adelaide membership increases by an average of around 4% in 2013 - the first rise since 2009.

“We are proud to have held prices down for our Members for the past four seasons and even now we have kept the increase to a minimum as we strive to meet rising costs,” Mr Thomas said.

“Port Adelaide membership represents outstanding value, particularly for families, and we make it as easy as we can with our PAFC Forever installment payment plans.

“PAFC Forever makes payment simple by spreading it across the year with 10, 6 or 3-month options, as well as the opportunity to pay up front. This can be used for membership, our fantastic new Member-only merchandise packs as well as contributions to the Port Adelaide Premiership Fund.

“Becoming a Member is the cheapest way to witness the AFL, Australia’s greatest sporting competition, and to get behind our young and exciting team and help it take what will be some very significant steps under a brand new program and regime.

“Next year, you also have the added incentive of locking in your place at Adelaide Oval where we’ll write a new chapter in our history at the ground where this club was involved in 21 premierships.

“But most importantly, by showing your true passion and signing up as a Member for 2013 you are really supporting your Club in a financial sense and helping Port Adelaide to become stronger as it pursues its vision of success in the AFL and SANFL.”

Membership of the Port Adelaide Football Club in 2013 is available now via the Club on 1300 GO PAFC (1300 467 232), the new-look weareportadelaide.com.au membership website and 50,000 tailored renewal and application forms being posted this week.
