The fact we have less than 1k walk ups per game historically means we are failing significantly at attracting fans to come and pay on the day. We are discussing the pricing keeping people away, it is..... otherwise walk ups would have increased. I cant get in this discussion with you because I will end up going around in circles trying to point out glaringly obvious simple economics to you and I have promised I won’t get in spats anymore. Sorry but you just just don’t get it and I doubt ever will. Have a great day. We didn't get many walk ups when the prices were cheaper so we won't get them now, speak to the ticket office manager, he'll explain it all to you he's a nice bloke. Get back to managing your imaginary companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC is facing an enforced reduction in turnover so will have to try and recoup it somehow. Yeah - it's not like he's charged stupid prices before.

I don't know how anyone can defend it to be honest. If we charged 1980s prices it would be about a tenner to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If what he has has told you is correct, and I do t want to call you a liar then he absolutely sucks balls at his job, we have a city population of close to 600k. We have floating occasional fans of upto 38/40k as we know from our Wembley trips, we also have students, fans in nearby city’s and towns, children who probably haven’t yet gone to a game. What you are telling me is it’s pointless whatever the price, I mean wow. Yeah marketing plays a part of course it does but if he’s seriously saying that to you then Chansiri needs to be straight in right now and fizz him out of the club. let’s just give up trying to get new fans, no point we don’t have any potential. im sat here shaking my head but I don’t know if it’s at you topowl or the bloke you said as told you this. That’s if he has indeed. Btw I’m actually sat this week planning out two business plans with multiple forecasts for growth, so it’s quite topical atm Your the bloke who said we could raise millions by getting sponsorship that the owner already puts the maximum in for, i'd file those forecasts of yours in the waste basket where they belong.

That would only hypothetically apply if demand exceeded supply. Were you expecting a sell out against QPR? If not - plenty of seats to go round. So unless you can find a club statement to the contrary , yr post was made up: DC isn't hiking up prices because of the SAG groups ruling.

poite Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 12 hours ago, toppOwl said: I don’t agree with this level of pricing but the EFL have to take some of the blame due to not letting owners spend their own money, lets remember that very few will actually pay £36 as lots of ST holders, members will be attending. If your happy to be a walk up fan your going to be paying a premium and that won’t change. I love how it's such a simple choice for so many. There are people who don't live in Sheffield you know. People who can't attend enough games to make it worth buying a season ticket... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total nonsense, if you don't live in Sheffield and are making a special trip paying an extra fiver is not going to deter them, Wembley tickets sold pretty well at a much higher price. If you can't attend many games then pick the cheaper or save a little to go to the ones you really want to, is it really that difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
