I’ll stick my neck out and say it’s probably because for the south stand it works out at £37 a match which is too much money to watch a championship football match.

trev Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The reason fans don't buy season tickets is because it's a lot of money up front for games you may not be able to attend. Due to work or whatever. Those same reasons exist for this deal. So people still won't buy them due to the fact they may not be able to attend 6 matches. Hence why people POTG.

pingybop Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) personally speaking, and I’m sure it’s yhe case for numerous others - I can’t commit to attending 6 games pre-Chrimbo. Make it for the full season (can’t understand why it isn’t anyway), along with a full a proper (rather than token gesture) advertising campaign and I’d be hopeful we’ll sell loads more.

Quite simple it's too expensive, right idea wrong pricing structures, like most of the ideas we have had this season. £150 for 6 games or £25 a game let's say it is cheap but for every 1000 they sell that's £150,000 they didn't have before. But the club over price them because of season ticket prices so no one buys them another wasted opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely pay full attention to ticket prices or ticket deals as with a season ticket it doesn’t affect me, but this almost beggars belief!! Who the hell has come up with this? How has it got to the public domain without anyone asking questions and stating what you’ve just explained. (I doubt it took you long to check) The club infuriates me to despair at times.

Correctamondo...that’s most of my mates tbh..there simply isn’t thousands of fans chomping at the bit to attend home games..waiting for a couple of quid to be knocked off the price..

Animis Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Derby vs Blackburn - their cat B game is £29 POTD in their equivalent of our South Stand (there is a more expensive ticket around the executive boxes). Our mid range cat D is £39. However they operate a fixed pricing model, with prices for matches being set approximately six to seven weeks prior to each League fixture. Prices increase on a home matchday by £3 for Adults and £2 for Concessions. Maybe this is a better way of discounting POTD tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that , most fans have a threshold and DC has gone beyond it , I just hope it’s temporary and when sense is restored and prices drop below £30 interest returns .

Lichfield alien Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Most casual fans will target a game they are going to go too...not working..got nowt on the day after etc..wether it’s 30..33..is irrelevant..my next game is villa away..and I’ve no idea how much a ticket will be..but I’m going..that’s my mindset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I’ve been a member for the last 3 seasons or so and given that silly £90 membership, I’m not going down that road. I will buy a 6 match bundle when I get back from holiday - there’s some good home games before Christmas so it is worth it. £180 for 6 games in the kop is ok without paying for the membership.

This is the problem of football club owners now, as they think all fans think like this throughout the season but in reality they are one offs. Blackpool could double the away ticket prices for away fans but i doubt it would have much impact as fans have always treated it as a weekend away.

dewsburyowl58 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 To be fair to this 6 game offer , it’s more about catering for fans with limited chance of getting to games than anything else . I didn’t expect it to be the bargain of the century , Maybe a pay over 4 months type of credit would see more taking it up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
