StudentOwl Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Then they introduce a scheme that has 9 potential different price points for your average adult alone. I get what the club are trying to do, totally. It's just... I think they're struggling. I really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It's good they are coming up with ideas but the prices are too high on this bundle. A 6 game bundle sat on the south stand at £220 compared to a season ticket at Huddersfield is £249. Any neutral will not come to Hillsborough. Prices needed to be better. As for Wednesday fans at the average price still being over £30 for non members and it doesn't include a ticket to the derby. Half hearted gesture i am feeling. Sorry wanted to be positive but this feels like a drop in the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me as I can't get to enough games before 22nd December, but if evolved to a 6 or 12 game bundle over a season then I'd be interested and sure after we have tested this offer, more bundles might be introduced.

modboy Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 If it was until the end of the season I would have defiantly bought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is if i knew i could commit to 6 games before xmas id have probably bought a season ticket! 6 games across the whole season would have been ok though.

Wonder what the reason is for not doing it across the whole season? Maybe it's in case we start storming the league and everyone then wants to go to more games?

My quick calculations make it ~246 different ticket prices with the addition of these bundles, I think (could be wrong, but it is around that figure). TWO-HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX DIFFERENT MATCH TICKET PRICES. And that is not counting anything to do with Season Tickets. SHEFFIELD SHOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon this needs an indepth look If we can check all this out and detail them all in some kind of mad list and present it to the club and fans we could all agree to just chill the fizz out with the different tiers, categories, schemes etc and simplify ticket pricing at SWFC to encourage more sales.

Lincs Owl Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It's basically just another pricing scheme on top of the already complex pricing schemes we already have. Many clubs just have gold silver bronze POTG admission prices. Blades Leeds Forest Villa Rotherham would be gold in our case. Derby Hull etc might be silver. Brentford Millwall and most of others would be bronze at cheapest POTG prices. Season tickets would be pitched at about 30% cheaper than average POTG. If we are going to have memberships, I'd say a £50 one with £10 off any and every game would be a winner. Not everyone even uses a computer. I miss the days when you could just walk up to a turnstile with '£20' marked on top of it. Buying in advance when you know there'll be 15,000 empty seats at Hillsborough for nearly all our games shouldn't be essential. Most casual fans maybe only decide at Saturday lunchtime. Just my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farlego Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I was hoping it was going to be six games over the season. Having given up on travelling to midweek games from MK I note that 4 of the 11 games are evening KO's and I am working away on a couple of Saturday fixtures so unfortunately it will not be worth me taking this up.

My initial thought looking at it is that if someone can afford those prices, the likelihood is that they would have been afford a season ticket. Hopefully a lot of people will see a benefit to it and jump on board though, and the quality of football matches the fan's investment. Must admit that was my first thought as well, which is why I think it'd be better if they made it more flexible on a sliding scale. People with less disposable income could then still get benefits of discounted tickets if they bulk buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob1601 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 All this stems from everything being too expensive. It prevents you from being able to do anything that makes a significant difference Commercial income however is the big ticket item and we don't have as many restrictions as with match tickets (EFL rules etc once a season has started) so DC should be looking to re-engage commercially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
