@owlstalk Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 What is it that's causing this offer not to be taken up? Less than 50 sold to date - would have expected way more sales than that Are people fully aware that this offer is on? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 My guess it's a lot of money to fork out in one go for most people, especially around holiday time when they've already spent a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Middle category D is £33 for the Kop . Being the middle category you would expect price to average around that level. The 6 game bundle is £180 or £30 per game. What appears to be a saving of £3/ game doesn’t represent good value if you need to shell out £180 in advance. In reality there are just too many prices to make an accurate judgement of the value of this bundle, although it seems all but 50 have decided.

TheEnchanter Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 People can't be turned back that easily when they've had the p taken out of them all summer in terms of prices basically. Secondly, considering I would be interested personally and it would suit my needs I can't imagine me making 6 games before xmas (an average of 12 games a season) would probably be similar value to me just buying a season ticket anyway. Ultimately as much as I've given them credit for having a rethink on the ticket prices I'm still pretty shocked at them hiding the embargo from fans and charging an embarrassing membership price. But don't forget it's us that are the negative and bad people in the equation. Scaring the chairman and the players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I heard don't know how true it is that the 6 games have to be before Christmas. Surely it would be better if they could be taken at any time during the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The problem now is the club has set the pricing across the board. We have the highest ST, membership and POTD ticket prices in the league. The ST's have been sold and rightly they expect and deserve a good discount from the POTD rate. Unfortunately, this leaves little scope to discount the POTD bundle to anything like attractive. You should be looking at a fiver a game off each game to make it attractive. Unless the team are playing like Wolves from last season there's little scope to attract people now and attendances will suffer as a result. Pricing POTD out has been DC's strategy for the last two years and people will get out of the habitt. It's not in keeping with any club in this league but I suppose that doesn't bother DC.

Would people who don’t look at the website/twitter be aware?? It’s introduction was possibly done at the time when the casual fan was less than enamoured by the club - no signings, no wins, embargo, etc. Maybe another push now after 2 wins and things off the field looking slightly more stable could be beneficial. I’d like to know why people haven’t taken it up - I still think the price is the biggest barrier for the casual fan to get over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at Kop prices, not sure of the rest. To make an accurate judgement though the club would need to advertise ticket price categories in advance. Otherwise it’s only all guesswork as to whether it represents good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReadingOwl Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 If the Club offered decent and fair POTD pricing then all this wouldn’t be necessary. It shutting the Stable door after the horse has bolted I’m afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The problem is that some people have already ‘switched off’ when it comes to attending games (due to prices). Those people don’t even consider going anymore. We’ve lost them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
