Holmowl Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 What would we have got against Charlton without the price incentive? I reckon 19-20,000, so as an experiment, it's surely given the club something to think about. Any opponent with a half decent away following, and we'd have cracked 30,000 Good show lads I think your figure is about right. If Brentford was 20000 today would have been similar. It does give the club a big headache. Already published the prices for the next 3 matches, and already sold squillions of ST for the next 3 years, so very little wriggle room now.

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 If prices were £30 + today rexkon it would have been about 21k max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) If the club decide to follow this route, and lower prices for next season, they could still do so without upsetting those who signed up for season tickets It would be an about turn of course, but things have changed a bit now, and there's a groundswell of opinion amongst football fans, that prices are simply too high. Nearly all Premier League clubs have reduced the price of tickets for next season. Of course, they can afford to, gate revenue is not a significant part of their income. I suspect our three year deal, was introduced to help pay for promotion push next season, if we don't make it this year of course The club can still use that money, but adjust the season ticket deals accordingly. For example, if we go with a similar price structure, for most games, that we had on offer today, we can appease those who've forked out for a three year ticket, by turning into a four year deal, with little or no extra costs. We will hopefully be in the Premier League by then Not saying the club will rethink things, but surely today has given them something to think about, as that was not an insubstantial increase in numbers They may have more wriggle room than you think Edited March 19, 2016 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already published the prices for the next 3 matches, and already sold squillions of ST for the next 3 years, so very little wriggle room now. Of course there is. The club can continue with the lower prices ,and " compensate" ST holders with free tickets for the home cup games, vouchers for the club shop etc Today has proven beyond a doubt that the ticket prices are the reason for the low attendances . we are capable of pulling 30k crowds every game if the tickets are priced right .

Guest Ash76 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Had that game been in January it'd have been nowhere near 29k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebneeb Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 A one off game that gets just less than 30k doesn't prove that we would get 30k every week with those prices. It does show clearly that it can have significant influence. Along with many other things of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a season ticket holder of over 35 years All the 3 year tickets are, are a discounted price for the commitment. 1400ish on the North instead of 1500.There is nothing to stop prices dropping both season tickets and match day. There are plenty of things that go on sale at a discounted price and then the price drops again. Not saying it would but it could happen Edited March 19, 2016 by rob1601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geedee Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 What yesterday has clearly shown is the walk up support for Sheffield Wednesday is still there even when it's unattractive opposition on a cold day providing it's priced right and promoted properly. Hopefully the club have learned from this experiment and will now keep matchday ticket prices low. Well done to the people at the club who put this offer together and to those who bought the tickets.
