Re: These £5 ticket deals
What is that principle Louth? How does it work?
Re: These £5 ticket deals
Most German clubs charge €15-20 a game. Even Bayern Munich and Dortmund.
Bradford were charging around €130 for ST last year.

Bums on seats generates more revenue I think so a good idea.

I'd rather we had a set of fans that were willing to part with 20 quid to watch a game, instead of putting the expectation in peoples heads that they should only go when paying 5
I think it is a bit sad we had to put such a big discount on versus leeds and we're in such good form.
Re: These £5 ticket deals
When I came over the the Wednesday game, I couldnt believe the amount of merchandise being sold. This would be increased also.

And by selling tickets for 15 to 20 You get bums on seats. I cant always attend so when I do I don't get any discount on tickets. I go anyway when I can and there are loads just like me who cant plan far ahead. So making walk ups cheaper would hopefully tip the balance for most.
Re: These £5 ticket deals
It's all about breaking habits - in this case, the habit of NOT attending matches.
Something not mentioned is that this was an evening game - when attendances tend to dip. My ST neighbours were not there. So to top 27K is especially good.
But do I understand the club is only doing this twice a season?

We have the 3rd cheapest season tickets in the league. We are top of the league. People aren't attending because the walk up tickets are £23.

The problem with ticket pricing is when you reach the watershed mark. Where tickets are cheaper, but you are not getting anymore people attending.
Under Slade we had cheap deals and it had little or no effect on attendance. What the club did well is to introduce a deal, on a midweek game that was televised. Fans are now willing to show under this team.
Fans still want the best players, and in the football league the money mainly comes from the fans, you don't want to introduce a low pricing point which would reduce season ticket prices, and then effect income at the club, and reduce its ability to sign players.

£16.50p a game !!!!
If we drew Manure, Citha, Tyre thieves, Chelskie in the cup, they'd all soon find 30 sovs to come.
Re: These £5 ticket deals
Why do they club claim on the online ticketing the family stand is always sold out?.
They began putting people in the upper tier v leeds when the family stand wasn't that close to being full....
they're doing the same for the next few games, the family stand is all red and unavailable

Probably all season tickets that have been sold, just that not all (particularly the kids) can make evening games, making it look like there are seats available.

Two family members attended on Tuesday taking advantage of the cheap tickets, they are now both buying season tickets. One hadn't been in over 10 years, the other was a first timer. I think it was the ideal game to attract potential new support.

They don't sell Family Stand tickets online, you need the phone the ticket office. It avoids abuse of the system apparently.

Mate, at one point it felt like the club should be paying me to sit there for 90 minutes

That £99 offer. Do you know if you are guaranteed 2 seats next to each other when you claim against them? Obviously if you buy 2 of them?

Fair point. For me though it goes like this.
My Grampi first took me. Every game.
I then went by myself. Hardly missed a game.
Now I take my son. When I can.
Soon my son will go with his mates.
I will continue to go when I can.
Life can get in the way sometimes so any initiative is a good one. Pricing points and offers are included in that.

Should imagine so, as you pick your seats when you go down ticket office.
Or, at least I do when I activate my mates.
