Tommy Crawshaw Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Doncaster have got sensible match ticket pricing. £22 for seats near the halfway line, £21 everywhere else. No categories, the same for every match. So our fans will pay £21when we go there. They are also doing flexible 10 game and 5 game tickets which can be used at any match. 10 games for £160-£180. 5 games for £85-£95, depending on where you sit. And they don't have to be used at different games, 5 people could use them for one match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno why you think Ipswich Reading and Swansea are 'nothing clubs'. What does that make us? Was it a cup game?? 26/01/2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we make more in revenue through increased gates (if there were increased gates). Demand based pricing seems to work, expensive games have the highest crowds, cheaper games have reduced crowds. That only gets amplified I’d imagine with fixed pricing. The last time we tried it properly was the Charlton game in 2016. Looking at comparable matches that added about 9000 to the gate - c30k as opposed to 21k. A one off gesture based on that precedent wouldn’t prove too costly. Back of the envelope figures admittedly - assuming we had 15k season ticket holders 6 x £30 would have been £180k - less VAT = £150k. 15 x £10 would have been £150k. - less VAT = £125k. Obviously concessions changes figures. Add back extra stuff from selling programmes, food, merchandise plus the good PR. As a one off gesture to fans that’s affordable. A week of Barry Bannan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is out there Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 2 hours ago, @owlstalk said: Why tho? Why have any categories at all? We've all been brainwashed into thinking categories are something football should have but in reality what do we need them for? Just average out the ticket prices over the season that you would have charged using a category system and just put all tickets on sale at that one price (any stand too) Simplify it No need for it to be complex in the slightest It should be the same as buying a packet of crisps Not like this: "How much are the crisps mate?" "well where will you be eating them?" "Eh?" "Where will you be eating them and how old are you, and have you got a crisps membership card?" Is the membership card valid for Seabrooks Cream Cheese & Chive crinkle cut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
