Tunley Legend Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Does anyone know how much the price will go up by upon the sale of the 10,000th ticket??Probably another 30%!! This move smacks of trying to limit season ticket sales and increase revenue from POTD. 10,000 season ticket sales will guarantee an average attendance of around 12,500 with away fans factored in plus POTD. I just cannot see any sensible reason for doing it. Surely the aim has to be to sell the capacity less the away capacity of season tickets. The income for the season is then guaranteed and either earning interest in the bank or cutting interest on the overdraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are significantly more than 10,000 season ticket holders wishing to renew next season, the opportunity to fleece.....err sorry maximise revenue from POTD/away fans reduces somewhat.......
