Spookone Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Really doesn't bother me - not all clubs charge the same and I don’t think outs are as bad as some make out (when we’re playing well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Just now, Semedo's ferret said: Chansiri gets another bite at the supporters cherry. If we show Notts forest type ambition after paying Wednesday type prices then he'll lose fans. He must know that. Marketing and advertising at Sheffield Wednesday is the easiest thing to do when all it takes is to get the hardcore fans onside early on who then become your pricing police, calling out and bringing into line anyone who steps out of line and disputes the pricing. Then if it all goes wrong that season (like this season) simply launch a new exciting season ticket campaign, add a load of good news in about top players at the club returning, add some new signings in and guaranteed you'll get takeup again. It's so simple, so easy and very difficult to get wrong, as the anger of December and January immediately dissolves once the new season tickets are announced, and then goes through to the new kits being launched, player signing rumours in the summer, and then the fixture list coming out.

I used the same comparison with a blade I know who claimed he wasn’t going to the derby cus of what we were charging, turned out in most cases (different stands etc) it was actually cheaper for a Dad and 2 kids to attend the derby at Hillsboro than their home game against Wolves the week after, bet the Star didn’t print that tough Yeah fair points Problem is the casual fan will no longer even check the club website for prices because it's that rare that they can attend. All about perception I guess Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Think season ticket prices are at the top end of being resonable. But still not cheap. POTG prices are embarassing. Not only thing at the club that is really over priced. Raised my eyebrows when the club do things like make replica shirts £50 and make out they are doing fans a favour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than I have 0 feeling for them and love Wednesday? Do you think Sheffield Wednesday would give 1 single f*ck if I didn't turn up next week, or the week after? The sentiment is one way. You don't seem to be able to separate passion and emotions from facts about business. Because the franchise is optimising its offering in a drive to maximise its customer base!!!! I manage to make business decisions every day based on ROI opportunities. I can't however separate my passion and emotions for Wednesday from my rational business mind. Part of me would die if I did.

I still don't understand the kit thing and putting them up to £59 in January when we're plummeting down the league and it's already proven to be a non-selling item Bonkers Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked shifts in the Fire Service fir 30 years so didnt have a season ticket as i never knew how many games I would get to. A 40 year supporter attending 10-15 games a season is just as big a fan as a 3 year season ticket holder in his early twenties and for those that go when they can afford it, well they go so they too are a supporter just the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
