Memberships: Turning fans into loyal communities

Memberships may not be a standalone revenue stream, but they’re fast becoming one of the smartest ways for rights holders to tie everything together – from ticketing and content to commerce and sponsorship.

By bundling perks like early access to tickets, merchandise discounts, exclusive video content, and sponsor offers into a single digital experience, membership platforms create a seamless way to engage fans more consistently – while collecting valuable data with every interaction.

That data becomes the fuel for smarter personalisation: targeted offers, relevant content, and tailored experiences that make fans feel recognised and rewarded. And when premium content or benefits are gated behind a paywall? That’s yet another way to monetise engagement and build recurring revenue.

And with the option to charge for premium access or perks, memberships can turn loyal fans into high-value superfans.
