NOTR Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 If City do it,I've got a farthing and two groats burning a hole in my pocket and they could have the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Given the amount the club is spending/losing, it would just be another great big subsidy from Steve L, or more debt depending on how you look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 When Radiohead did something similar for their 'In Rainbows' album they claim to have ended up making more per unit than they would have done selling the album conventionally. Completely different circumstances but it doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose a tonne of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different circumstances but it doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose a tonne of money difference there would be that a lot of radiohead fans thought they were being offered a quality product, which they'd likely enjoy. how many city fans currently feel that the performance they'd see on a saturday would a) be worth thirty quid plus expenses or b) would bring them that amount of enjoyment plus its a bit unfair to the ST holders who have already paid a certain amount.

Eco Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 difference there would be that a lot of radiohead fans thought they were being offered a quality product, which they'd likely enjoy. how many city fans currently feel that the performance they'd see on a saturday would a) be worth thirty quid plus expenses or b) would bring them that amount of enjoyment plus its a bit unfair to the ST holders who have already paid a certain amount. That argument is used quite a bit but I don't get it. Surely for a one-off match ST holders wouldn't begrudge their club running an incentive scheme such as this, especially if it leads to increased fan take up further down the road which would depend on a good performance on the day perhaps. Good on Brentford I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on Brentford I reckon Most of us work something along these lines, I think. Several cheap deals per season pull in crowds for important or quiet matches without fundamentally undermining the main attraction of a ST - being cheaper over the season. If SO many were done that the price equivalent was close, I would start questioning the VFM of a season ticket (because you pay it all upfront instead of being able to pay per match) - but I don't think the club ever have (or would) get close to that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 What a brilliant idea, especially for a game on Black Saturday. For a club like Brentford to have already sold 5500 shows what a success it is proving. I am a ST holder but would support this idea. City usually play better with a big crowd and this initiative would certainly boost the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
