Memberships are certainly a far bigger thing in Australian sport generally.
The AFL & NRL clubs talk about them all the time, and yeah alot of it is about priority ticketing for finals. They have infant (age 2-5), junior memberships and the like to boost the numbers.
With the AFL, lots of parents put their new borns on the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) waiting list at birth. MCC members get priority access to big AFL games including the Grand Final. There is a 40-year wait for a full MCC membership.
Basically culturally sports memberships are a big thing in Aussie.
