2013/14 Memberships
Memberships are still available for the 2013/14 Hyundai A-League Season and can be purchased online at http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/perthglory/membership.
For the 2013/14 season, Perth Glory has sought to reduce its membership costs and make it affordable for everyone to come and support Western Australia-s only A-League football team.
The club is pleased that this year we are able to offer the cheapest ever Perth Glory adult membership. Prices also on our platinum and range of gold memberships have largely been maintained at last season-s prices, whilst our standard general admission tickets have been reduced by up to 30%. Our standard general admission tickets for juniors have also been reduced by over 50% and are in comparison less than half the cost of going to the basketball, rugby or AFL, making football one of the most affordable and price competitive sports to watch in Western Australia.
The costs competitive membership prices for the 2013/14 Hyundai A-League Season have, in part, been achieved by passing on the savings from no longer having to pass on costs associated with the joint-ticketing arrangement with Transperth.
Getting to the Game
NIB Stadium is located at 310 Pier Street, East Perth and is bound by Lord, Pier, Bulwer and Brewer Streets.
Perth Glory continues to recommend that its members and supporters look to use the public transport options to get to each game.
Public transport options include:
Buses
The closest bus stops to the stadium are located on Lord St. and Beaufort St.
Current public car parking within 1 km of nib Stadium can be viewed here:
Trains
Train services to and from Claisebrook, East Perth and Perth Central Railway Station which are all located within 900m from the stadium.
Taxi
There is a taxi rank located on Bulwer St. Exit Gate 1 or 4
Public transport will not be included in the cost of admission to Perth Glory games following a decision by the club not to renew their joint-ticketing arrangements with Transperth. This means that fans using public transport will need to buy cash tickets or use their SmartRider to pay for travel to and from games.
The decision not to renew the joint ticketing agreement with Transperth, which requires Perth Glory to pay a fee to Transperth based on each supporter in attendance at its game, followed a series of surveys of the clubs membership and supporter base which identified that as little as approximately 20% of those supporters attending matches actually used public transport.
Whilst the club supports the use of public transport for our supporters to get to our games and the need to pay for such public transport, the reality is the majority of Perth Glory supporters use other means to attend our games.
We have in recent times endeavoured to negotiate with Transperth for a more modern and fairer ticketing structure where Perth Glory are only charged for the actual number of fans using public transport, rather than being charged based on our entire supporter base, but unfortunately this proposal has not been deemed acceptable.
Given the large proportion of its supporters that do not use public transport and that parking is limited around NIB Stadium and residential restrictions apply on match days, Perth Glory are working with nearby car parking operators to offer heavily discounted match day car parking to our members. These offers will be advised to our members shortly.
