wendyredredrobin Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Does anyone know how these are going? Are we likely to surpass last years numbers. I know it's early days and the deadline is a week or so away, but I hope trade is brisk and we continue to march forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I'll honestly be surprised if it gets above last years numbers. If it does it'll only be a marginal increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see Rovers’ new prices, which make ours look pretty decent value. If we sold 15,000 this season, I expect they’ll be hoping that at least 10,000 have renewed by next weeks deadline.

RedM Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I don’t know how our sales are going but I was talking to someone recently about the Gas ST’s. Apparently they have a deal where you can buy 10 tickets for £140 which you can then use for any league game across the season. You can book up to an hour before the game. I thought this was pretty decent as many people can’t make all the games due to work etc, evening games, holiday games, and in our case we have had a fair few moved due to tv coverage. Yes people could cherry pick the best games, and maybe once you have used up the 10 picks you have to pay dearer potd prices. Maybe also you won’t get the exact same seat each time. I thought it was a good scheme the Gas have, certainly would help the fan who cannot commit to a ST better that we do. Too late this year I guess, but unless we are in the Prem maybe something for next @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the inept marketing of seat changes and price rises, plus the fact that the team only plays half a season, I think we'll do well to sell 12,000.

Too late this year I guess, but unless we are in the Prem maybe something for next @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO £14 a game to watch ten different towns play, stood in a tent with no bar is good value. So what would be a reasonable price for Championship, pushing for premier league football, in a £50,000,000 stadium? At least 50% more? £210 - same as having a membership, which is £21 a game.

I wasn’t suggesting we would follow the exact same pricing, but more commenting on the scheme and how flexible it is. I think people might find the option of being to watch just under half the games a season useful, or looking it the other way knowing it’s less wasteful than missing ST games. Yes I know we have membership but it’s a scheme with falls between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I think that's a great idea. For somewhere like the south stand it could be £220 for 10 games including a membership card in the price. It could be run through the ticket website where you are credited 10 tickets. All you would need to do is select the game to put on your card, pay the £1 admin fee (making the cost of the ticket the same as a members fee) and Robert is your mothers brother. I'd definitely look at that if it was on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve suggested we do a “flexible-ticket” like this before but it’s never happened. I’ve seen quite a few clubs do these, for differing amounts of games. I think they are a great idea. I suppose with our attendances being fairly good, they could be set at season ticket per match price, plus a percentage supliment (so season tickets get best price) but only do them at the highest seat price maybe. Then you can book any seat that’s available as and when you can go and you’ve already paid that set price, rather than buying one for the south stand which is often sold out and then not being able to go elsewhere so I suppose it would have to be what..? £25 per ticket x however many games you loaded to your card, with a minimum of say 5 game blocks to be purchased. Surely that’s easy enough to implement..? @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Money is tight, but thinking of buying a season ticket for the next season on the pay quarterly scheme. I think it has to be done, if only to reserve the seat for the moment (IF) the club reach the Prem. Imagine trying to buy a season ticket the year City have been promoted to the Premier League. There would be no guarantee of securing one in the mad rush and POTD tickets would be impossible to guarantee. With the club building towards the Prem, it could be very risky not to buy a season ticket this time round For anyone who has money issues, like myself to some degree due to modern price of living etc, perhaps think of sharing the season ticket cost. I'm likely to do the same with my dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Not sure about the 10 game ticket. Would it encourage those who dont already go to games or would a lot of season card holders convert to 10 games resulting in a loss of revenue? I rather liked the old days when you either bought a season ticket or paid on the day with 5 bob to a bloke on the turnstile where every game costed the same and kids and OAP's were half price.

Yes, much better. I used to go every week but would never have dreamt of getting a ST. The queues at the Juveniles for the EE was always huge, these days afaik juveniles are not permitted to POTD if unaccompanied by an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
