All joking aside, is it possible they will literally not sell one? Generally the keen will buy a season ticket and half season tickets will go to a minority if we are doing well. I can't imagine a scenario where more than 10 are sold, but more likely zero. Is anybody out there thinking of buying one? I just had that exact thought when reading the thread title!! Has to be a very real chance of that happening. Edited December 8, 2018 by Morepork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobayashi Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Unfortunately the “cash rich” owner in his desperation via multi-year season tickets to drag in cash (which he obviously didn’t need because he is “cash rich”) has created a straight jacket with regard to ticket prices from which the club cannot escape.

It’s a non story really. The damage has already been done. I can’t really see how the Club can change it - other than upset existing season ticket holders. And, if that means no one buys them - so be it. I agree with your points. I cant get to many games due to work and travel, so half Season tickets would have been an option, however I have to plan my games around work so for me when they first came out with the idea I was interested, but (always a but), if they had an option on the amount of games over the full Season, i.e. give me an option of watching half of the games as and when I could make it that would have been a better idea, and prob sold more as I'm sure there are others in the same position as me.

bigdan2003 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) The half season tickets are in-line with the current seasons pricing strategy. The price was probably set in July, it was never going to change because of the current position. It will be interesting to see what the prices will be in March for next season. Not defending the club, but getting upset is pointless - they were never going to be cheaper. Also, whilst I appreciate that we have ourselves to blame regarding the current mess. The FFP rules are only making things worse - it's like death by a thousand cuts. We can't win either way - lower prices, and we're fizzed, higher them and you wee wee everyone off. Keep them the same and everyone is pissed off. Meanwhile, folk are comparing our prices with Man City, a club that can afford it, and who aren't exactly following FFP rules themselves.... We're screwed for a few seasons. Edited December 8, 2018 by bigdan2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruitment strategy bad = fans pay more for tickets Retail dept garbage = fans pay more for tickets Current corporate sales n sponsorship strategy = fans pay more for tickets If he sorted other depts, then loyal fans (who’ll pay owt just to watch their side) wouldn’t be getting fleeced The same loyal fans that get ranted at during open forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly stupid idea selling multi year tickets in the first place. It was done for a short term injection of cash , but now we will suffer for it. ^ ^ ^ This all day long Any fool can rake in 3yrs dosh and splurge it on 1 or maybe 2 campaigns and go sh*t or bust ...

Mr Farrell Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) It was pretty obvious once he killed POTG, spunked the 3 year season ticket cash, he'd be back to rinse the season ticket holders again. These prices combined with the cack on the field will kill attendences and morale. The long term damage being done to future generations of support is terrifying.

Has sapped the life out of the club and fan base. I’ve always been a glass half full ‘moaner’ or realist as I prefer, but I’ve always cared and been itching to get to games . Didn’t even realise it was the toy town game until late last night . Another embarrassing result in the chansiri joke fest on its way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 21 hours ago, @owlstalk said: The Chairman offered everyone a say on pricing back when the questionaiire voting thing happened The question stated 'with continued levels of investment'. The club couldn't even keep us within ffp rules so they let us down big time. Disgusting micromanagement from the top down. No respect or confidence in them from me. Theyve lost me.
