Wildcats reach 12,000 members for first time

The Perth Wildcats are proud to announce its set a brand new membership record, surpassing a major milestone in the process.

For the first time, the club has broken through the 12,000-member mark to once again raise the bar for basketball in Australia.

At time of publication, the Perth Wildcats have totalled an all-time record of 12,022 members, and that number is still growing through its Red Army Reserves category.

Perth Wildcats membership manager Natalie Stawell-Wilson can’t thank the Red Army enough.

“We are so fortunate to have such a fiercely loyal fan base,” said Ms Stawell-Wilson.

“It’s been a challenging year with unprecedented delays, disruptions and uncertainty, but our members have stayed with us through it all.

“On behalf of the players, coaches and staff, thank you to each and every member for your ongoing support.”

Prior to moving to RAC Arena in 2012, the Perth Wildcats had approximately 3,000 members. Five years later in 2017 it reached the lofty target of 10,000 members before surpassing the 12,000 members milestone a decade after its move back to the Perth CBD.

The club will be celebrating its members with a special Member Recognition Night on Thursday when the team take on the Adelaide 36ers at RAC Arena.

In addition to normal game night festivities, there will be member giveaways, competitions, a photo booth thanks to member partner Vibe Petroleum, and more.

Remaining tickets to the game are available through Ticketek.
