With respect to your opinion and being an interstate supporter, unless it's an Away game to North Melbourne, I don't want any Carlton home games sold to anywhere outside Melbourne.
Really? I realize the crowd sizes aren't going to be much different, but if you get an extra 10,000 memberships a year (I believe this is a realistic number too), for playing 1 home game down here, you say you'd pass it up?

I like the discount option however I understand the club's position. They forfeit much more $$ in giving you a $3.50 cost price hat than if they gave you a % discount off their entire merchandise, which would impact their profits way more.
Depends on how you are looking at it. Selling an extra 20, 000 merch items at at a reduced profit margin per item, may actually generate a LOt more profit in terms of Merch they may not of sold regardless of the margin. eg. selling 20000 items at a $10 profit is better than 5000 at $30 profit... , and when you add $3.50 on top of each modified membership sold (saved from not including crappy stickers etc.) then the profit increases. Look at all of the big businesses in the world, they sell stuff at greatly reduced cost and make their profits from Volume sold, rather than Large profit per item.
My 2 cents anyway.
