In Perth, for instance, the WACA sold season tickets, which they marketed in the form of memberships, to everything at the ground, including football. They had a huge membership and were rolling in money, but because they?d sold their tickets in memberships, they declared a loss on the cricket Test match. At the end of the season, though, they?d get the same twofourteenths[sic] of Pool Two as Queensland.
