Because the people involved in the SANFL have their own personal agendas to look after

Their positions are voluntary and they'll all be off their boards by then and in other positions which may or may not have been benefitted by their vote. It wouldnt suprise me if some of them are seen at Adeaide Oval on AFL gamedays and/or be be involved in businesses that may or may not benefit from certain situations/liaisons.

Crows and Port members get in for nothing as part of their package and still they don't come or they don't even seem to pass on there tickets for others to use.
Crows and Port fans don't attend SANFL because they are basically not interested.
I used to buy memberships when I lived in Japan with no hope of attending a game, I used to buy them for my wife also, and she had absolutely no idea about footy. I'll concede that there would be a small number of people who become members because it includes tickets to games, but that would not be many. Most would continue regardless.
fOne big gripe with SANFL Club members now is that that don't feel that being a member actually gives them anything.

They don't get any real benefits for being a member as the discounted game price is somewhat offset by the cash outlay for the entire season's games in one go. Ergo, no matter how how badly your team performs or you have to miss a game for whatever reason, you've already paid for those games whereas the casual walk on can decide which games to go to depending on team performance, weather etc, and not lose out if they don't go. And of course most members of most most SANFL Clubs feel their club doesnt listen to them, value them as members or value what they might have to say.
This way at least being a member would give you tangible benefits, whether the club values you or your opinion, or not and you don't lose financially if you decide to duck out of the odd game for other reasons.
