It needs to start with bringing the cost of season tickets down. We have around 21k supporters that have dug deep to support their club - the club can’t pander to the part timer/casual attender to the determinant of the season ticket holder - because ultimately that would reduce overall attendance The problem DC has (of his own doing) is the multi year season tickets that are priced so wrongly - so we are stuck for 3 or 4 years I would say there is plenty of wriggle room with prices before we get near to what st holders pay per game £46 for a tv game is foolish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 We gave up on attracting new fans and future generations about 2 years ago. Very short sighted and sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early bird works out at £28 a game I think Therefore the final phase is going to be over £35 at least Which makes £46 about right for a one off with the prices set as they are. As I stated previously- season tickets are far to expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 The closure of the North to all but STH is a real problem beyond the simple loss of capacity. Means that I can't entice a friend to occupy the empty seat next to me. Means that people either have opt for the south which is expensive and not everyone's cup of tea or the Kop where viewing isn't marvellous from many non STH seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savi Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I know I may be going down a different road to what the OP intended here but. For those that cannot attend 23 games or afford the cost of a ST in 1 lump sum, what about the idea of a Season Seat Ticket (SST) where a set fee is or can be paid for over 3 months (May/June/July) For Eg: Adult Prices. Kop £250 North / South £350 This payment then guarantees your seat for all League games upto 24 hours before kick off with a £10 cost per game. If the 24 hour Pay Before Kick Off (PBKO) is not purchased then a £10 admission fee Pay On The Day (POTD) is available but your seat is NOT guaranteed. Your seat is also offered to you for the match cost for cup games, up to 72 hours before kick off. Eg: League for Kop A - SST £250 + £10 per game = £480 Or B - SST £175 + £15 per game = £520 The SST fee is NON refundable so the more games you attend the cheaper the match day ticket. Eg: A 1 game attended = £260 per game 23 games attended = £21 per game The SST also allows you to share if there are issues that affect you attending games throughout the season.

nickswfc Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I think we forget that prior to Chansiri attendances even with cheaper tickets were around 19,000 to 22,000. Since the play off years that's increased to 23,000 to 27,000 with the higher prices. Appreciate we all want cheaper tickets but it's hard to argue that from a business standpoint Chansiri has got it about right. Plus no evidence to support that knocking a tenner off the day to day prices would significantly increase attendances. It's even possible doing so would deter people from purchasing season tickets.

james o connor Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 The prices are stupidly wrong . We have a Sunday sky game against Bristol few days before Xmas this game should be 10 quid get as many in and hopefully some will keep come back . We all know it will be prices start from 33 quid on the kop. Doesn’t encourage anybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the chance to show DC if tickets were cheaper we can fill the ground - part timers haven’t taken it up (for whatever reason) so he keeps the prices as they are.

It's a minefield to be fair there are larger overheads when more come at lower prices, less overheads when less come but pay more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less people in the ground means less revenue generated inside the ground. Its false economy to charge inflated , rip off prices for tickets.

They will find an excuse not to go, time to accept we just dont have the fanbase beyond a decent hardcore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to encourage University students and kids and families etc. I'm just aware that running a football club is an expensive business. swings and roundabouts, running a club is fantastically expensive, running one near the top of the division and in need of additions is about to get more so.

The matches that have been tried are the tuesday night Bolton type games where even a lot of season ticket holders dont even bother. Why should folk rock up for a hand picked crap match ? It's like "well we know youve been priced out but could you help make up the numbers please" Stop pratting about, make it affordable and if the product is good customers will come . The fan base is still there but is going to take some winning back imo 2 of us would have been there yesterday but as soon as me and my mate saw £46 it was a straight "shove it" Owlstalk ..probably the only forum in the world where a high percentage support high prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t going to change it unless part timers prove him wrong If you expect him to have a ticket giveaway for matches where we get 27k at full whack then you’ll be disappointed I agree with DC in terms of looking after the loyal first, trouble is he’s set the price too high - drop season tickets by £100 across the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
