I think they should trial it. Say & publisise "whole ground available for sale in advance and POTD with £1 a kid offer available for next 3?? Home games" See what the uptake is. See if there is a marked increase in attendance or if figures are similar but more spread out. If that's the case then nobody can complain if they revert back to the current arrangements - use it or lose it, if you like. IF there is a marked increase, with no significant problems or overall loss in revenue after costs, then keep it that way. Let people put their money where their mouth is and either put up or shut up, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reformed_red Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 It does annoy me that they seem to hold back tickets and then release them. I got our tickets earlier this week, thinking do I chance the top tier opening or not, and possibly miss getting tickets at all. Quick check online, and now there are 100+ seats with what will be a better view available in the block I'm in. Great. I'm sure they are held for corporates / players family / away club 'promo' etc... and released once they have been turned down / not accepted / sent back...but still really annoying. I totally agree the club should throw the top tier open for this season, and see how it goes. They aren't going to go bust by doing it. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work, but I'm pretty sure that more fans like myself would go; membership this this year for us, not ST's, and travelling a round trip of 4 hours. If I knew I stood a chance of getting cracking seats most weeks I would 100% attend more games than I'm thinking of this year - being stuck front row doesn't really appeal, nor at the end of the west stand or dolman for c£34, when the middle sections are only £5 more! Perhaps reduce the price of those end blocks and those seats would sell as well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Out of interest. Genuine interest, with no agenda... IF the club put Upper tier Lansdown season tickets only on sale at a cost of say £25 per game equivilant, no moves from already purchased season tickets (ie. Additional/new sales only) who would buy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having focused on season ticket sales and membership for the Summer months, now's the time to concentrate on the neglected (and likely disenfranchised) casual walk up market. If you employ a correct marketing/pricing/customer service strategy these will be next year's new season ticket/members. You have a magnificent half empty stand. Have an aggressive pricing strategy and reserve the Upper Lansdown for pay-on-the-day. Two wings have 3 pricing bands upper at £20, middle £25 and lower £30. Central blocks add £10 to those prices. Big advertising strategy and have a simple ticket purchase process. If you add say £5 per ticket for likely drink/food sales the income, taking account extra stewards and ticket sellers, would be likely to be well in excess of six figures per game. Jesz, that's nearly enough to pay for Tommo's wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 I get not wanting to employ extra staff to cover an area with possibly few people in, and to maximise profit, but ..... the current system , if not affected by SAG is causing people to have second thoughts about coming to the Gate. Whether this will change when the stand is fully finished will be interesting. I believe , because of the newness of the stand and the view people will use it , and as said before groups will turn their noses up at sitting apart or even too low down. Open the stand fully for a couple of games and see what happens, if it doesn't work it will shut us all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSheds Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi all tried to purchase two tickets for the home game against Derby County, after seeing we could buy tickets for £10 each. I am a season ticket holder but as I am not a season ticket holder "PLUS". They will cost for two tickets £72 not £20.00 as advertised around the ground on other home matches. So I have not purchased the tickets. I would have though the idea was to fill the stadium Grrrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do the print st home option, they will be on email, so I can forward to them when you have transferred me the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
