The Sydney Swans 2013 membership campaign is on track for a stellar season, with more than 17,000 members already signing on with the Swans for next season.

The phones have been running hot in the Swans membership department, with staff taking over 1700 calls in the last fortnight alone.

At 9:00am this morning, the club’s membership total reached 17,282, which is well ahead of the number at this time last year, and is comparable with the same amount who had signed up by the middle of February this year.

Among the Swans membership tally are 2579 new members, as well as an increase in Premium Memberships, including the Ultimate 11 and Redback memberships.

Swans members have also supported the club’s membership donation program, Swans Care. More than 100 memberships have been donated by Swans members to Swans Care, where donated memberships are handed out to local charities and community groups.

With Christmas just around the corner, the Sydney Swans Member Services Office will be closed from 4pm, December 21, 2012 until 10am on January 7, 2013, however members can still sign up or renew online over the Christmas period by clicking here.
