SnowyOwl13 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 If Brentford's game had gone ahead, they'd have filled Griffin Park by doing "Pay What You Can", where fans simply pay what they could for a ticket. Would people want this to happen at Hillsborough at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Seems like a recipe for disaster to me. Huge losses. Obviously, the proof would be in the numbers. Without the data to back it up, I'm afraid I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneeyedmilkman Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I dont think we'd get enough extra fans to cover the losses we'd receive from our current support paying less if that makes sense? If we were going to try it though, I would trial it in a game where the attendance is expected to be poor, which would be the MK f.a cup game (or if we drew someone of equal appeal in the next round at home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceowl14 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Considering we get the top attendance average in the championship for normal price ticket games, there would be no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Old Salt Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I'd guess that the average payment would come down, say thirty quid to twenty quid, but the attendance would go up from twenty k to thirty k. Only a guess would like to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grez Bez Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Considering we get the top attendance average in the championship for normal price ticket games, there would be no point. Thats irreverent though isn't it. There is no point in comparing with anyone (apart from maybe the blades as we target the same market). It's more relevant that we have 15000 spare seats each game which equals £s It simply doesn't matter what your Peterboroughs Iraq Derbys get as it doesn't affect us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lalasibon Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 The way it worked at Brentford was this - Pay what you can (minimum £1) Anything over a fiver spent, 50 percent of the price goes straight to sport relief I think you will find most people would happily pay a fiver and do their bit for charity. It's not every week so it wouldn't bother me r.e. season ticket costs. I'm pretty sure it works out that I get six free games a season all told. It would be a good way to get people in IMO. Other clubs are very innovative with ticket initiatives. We seem to be stuck in the dark ages sometimes. It's easy to be a regular home and away and say "don't want to lose money with stupid schemes" or "I've already paid so why should I lose money, it doesn't benefit me". Well if it benefits the club in the long run it will do for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) im not sure it would work with such a sport This works ok say at a restaurant where you have already experienced the "product" honestly what would you "donate"??? An even better way would be say £20 - if we win £15 - draw £10 - lose be very difficult to collect the payments though Edited December 23, 2012 by modboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidc77 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I guess it depends if it brings new fans to the game longer term, obv you would lose out on the match that is a gimme. I think the better way to do things like this and what we should be doing on a regular basis is giving school kids free tickets, and not just on rare occasions i mean on a regualr basis and massively reduced kids prices and also targeting the student element by making it a no brainer price. So many floating fans supporting neither team that would probably turn up for a few games every season. My Auntie is a prime example whilst we were noncing about not looking after future fans under the old board the Pigs were getting in schools and colleges, one of my cousins got a free ticket, was taken by mum and dad and now they go a few times per season, she also sells them half time tickets and all sorts for them, just shows what a little good will does for people who are not yet full time followers! On a side note i told her i will never speak to her again the PIG ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
