SWFC Trust Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 2 minutes ago, Grandad said: Its ok - we can have 1000 stewards instead of 200 to manage the ticket holders. Won't that negate any potential advantages of the ticket scheme? "I don't know - get on to the Trust and ask. It was them who suggested it" We didn't suggest that SWFC adopt the Birmingham model wholesale - more that it seems to have been successful and therefore might be something that SWFC look at to see what might work at S6.

Yet a club like Barnsley if less in come than us are challenging for the top 6 without ripping off their fans to do it. They haven't blown it all to get promoted. But they don't have an egomaniac in charge either. If you're an existing season ticket holder at Dingleland it's £265 for their Ponte End for next season, irrespective of whether they are in the Championship or Prem.

There's no way that anyone should be suggesting to the club to look at introducing 10 zones and three bands Our fans should be screaming at the club to just STOP with the tiers, categories, memberships, zones, stands etc etc etc 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of it would easily work at S6 - as you say stewarding makes pricing bands more tricky. Ensuring that there are always cheap tickets available for every game seems reasonable though.

People go to sit with their family/ mates and have a moan or whatever. Let them sit wherever they want for the same money! I actually don’t know anyone who absolutely insists on sitting in the very centre of the stand because it has the absolute optimum view of the pitch. One price everywhere but have a bit of premium seating with a bit of extra leg room and a cushion if people want to treat themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 The absolute best way of assessing if ticketing tiers, bands, zones etc are sensible is to sit someone down who is suggesting doing it and simply saying to them "but WHY??" each time they explain why they want to do it "So we should have ten zones, three bands" "But WHY? Why not just have £20 sit anywhere any stand?" "Well... because then we can offer real flexibility" "But WHY? Why not just have £20 sit anywhere any stand?" "Well because you can give people choice of zones and bands and tiers if we implement it" "But WHY? Why not just have £20 sit anywhere any stand?"
