Could have offered season ticket holders a free programme voucher or something. Been to the last two games and really enjoyed Saturday for a change. Make all games £25 for the remainder of the season and many will get the bug again. Especially with a decent manager leading us. Agree with the sentiment but it’s very short sighted Season ticket holders wouldn’t be getting the best of deals there This is where the problem lies. Season tickets are too high. No room for manoeuvre for at least 5 years unless full refunds given and DC starts again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 My ST on the South averages out at £27.83 per game, I would fight to the death anybody who now gets a better deal than that (for the South). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works out about £24 a match where I sit I think, Kop will be a lot cheaper. Its not really the point though is it. Season ticket holders have put their money upfront to allow this big discount on match day prices. For it to be scrubbed out on a whim doesn’t send out the right message or incentive for future sales. If it sells out against Birmingham i’d back it till the end of the season and reimburse season ticket holders some way. Its up to stay aways to prove to DC cheaper tickets can work. The stay aways have sadly failed on previous occasions to the detriment of us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passthepig Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Have been trying to book one this afternoon - the ticket office has understandably gone home for Christmas but the 'select a seat' functionality on the ticketing site ain't working either....good old Wednesday!

And now you say the rest of us have to pay extortionate ticket prices for the next five years to somehow justify the outlay of this tiny minority of s/t holders. If anyone can afford 3k for a 5 year season ticket on the south stand surely they won't begrudge the rest of us the chance to pay a reasonable pay on the gate price even if it does make their investment look a little foolhardy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really maybe he's making a commitment to the club that come rain or shine he's supporting his club for the next 5years and quite rightfully getting a big discount for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has bought a 5 year ST, because they don't exist. People have bought 1, 2 and 3 year ST's - most of which I believe come to an end at the end of this season, meaning for the 1st time in about 5 years - new pricing/strategies can be put in place without upsetting any parties.

I know of at least 2 that used to go, they are not returning until the prices are dropped across the board...not one offs when it suits. Some fans have taken it to heart, its a matter of principle now, we have several on here. They are not going to come back for ONE game, then get left behind again. its a difficult scenario for the club at the minute, the future hardly looks rosy, we are in a relegation battle.

"OK you can come back now...sorry about that" / I totally understand what your saying, but if these “fans” what anything at all to change they HAVE to prove to the main man we can fill the stadium when prices are lower. Otherwise he will just keep milking the 18k-20k for every penny he can. If we fill the stadium and nothing happens we as a supporter base have a facts to back up the argument of cheaper tickets. One game for £20 on a Saturday at 3pm is what the stay aways wanted - prove it. With regards the 5 year sales - I don’t have the faintest. I doubt very much it’s many.

If you are a Wednesday fan who was happy to pay way over the odds to go to Wembley why would you not go for £20 at 3pm on a Saturday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
