Guest S13OWL Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Why is the offer not available on the day of the match? Stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-The-Owl Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Why is the offer not available on the day of the match? Stupid. Because there'll be a massive queue of people trying to get in for a quid. It'll just be a hassle getting in. *And the club won't get too many people getting in for a quid instead of full price.

Guest S13OWL Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Because there'll be a massive queue of people trying to get in for a quid. That's why :biggrin; Is that the case at United where they have offers on the day of the game? Yeah there's this offer ... but only if you do this ... and do that ... and if you're this age ... and if you're accompanied by an adult ... and if you by no more than 4 at a time ... Talk about making offers as confusing as possible. Should just be U16s £1 without the rest of it - like United do. Common sense never prevails on this side of the city sadly.

Guest swfc05 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Totally agree nk if you don't like it flip of to lane you whinging twit. SWFC don't need fans who whinge even when the club do the right thing. It really annoys me, what exactly do you want every 17, 18 year old trying to get in for a quid.

Sam-The-Owl Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yeah. They have brains and we don't. They also don't have a £30 million debt and an incredibly tight budget to keep to etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest S13OWL Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 They also don't have a £30 million debt and an incredibly tight budget to keep to etc etc. What's that got to do with allowing people the offers on the day? Yes NK, praise them for showing some initiative in putting the offers out there in the first place but see that there are plenty of improvements that can still be made without no effort whatsoever. They've got the offers in place but it'll probably only attract another 2000 rather than double that figure were there none of these petty restrictions to abide by. It should be simple for fans to follow but as in the Sheffield Derby ticketing situation, most people simply won't have a clue about the way the ticketing arrangements are for these games and the only losers of this are Wednesday.

It's got a lot to do with it. We literally can't afford to have the same prices as the Pigs. If we did, then I reckon we would have already gone under. The club have the high prices so they can keep afloat. Edited October 13, 2008 by JimRoyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did, then I reckon we would have already gone under. The club have the high prices to they can keep afloat. Sorry but for a one-off game as this clearly is, you're wrong. It would only benefit the club by having them on sale of the day of the game. For people to trek all the way to the ticket office when they don't live nearby to the ground (imagine it's yourself perhaps in Lincoln) ther'd be no simple, cost effective way of them getting the tickets. All they're doing by not having this offer available on the day of the game is turning away more fans and therefore the club is losing income for this game on its own. It wouldn't harm them in the slightest to have the offer available on the day of the game ... but instead you'll find hardly any U16s who could make it down there only for the day of the game deciding to pay those increased prices. Re: not being able to sell tickets at cheaper prices. By the price schemes and estimated numbers sold, United have made roughly £1.25 Million more on ST sales than ourselves. You have to ask yourself what would be the right route to go down ... fill more seats with cheaper prices ... or have less bums on seats but charge more. United have made much more money than Wednesday with the route they've gone down ... so how we 'can't afford' to charge these prices seems a strange comment to me. Are you suggesting that we wouldn't get anywhere near the number of season ticket holders United do if we charged similar prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that we wouldn't get anywhere near the number of season ticket holders United do if we charged similar prices? I agree with what you are saying, I'm just just arguing the stance from the clubs point of view. I would love to see season ticket prices, similar to those at the lane but it won't happen with our current board. It just won't. I guess this is one of peoples hopes for when this takeover goes through (if it does) Like you said, I can't watch Wednesday for £29 a time. It's just too much. You are spot on in your final paragraph. We would make roughly the same amount of money on season tickets if we reduced them and had more people in, than having high prices and a smaller amount of fans buying them.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice to see the club showing some initiative at least but you kind of feel they've gotten themselves into this position in that they have to use offers to tempt people to go as the usual prices are too expensive, particularly in the current economic climate. Season ticket prices went up around 12% this season where as the sales have gone down by roughly 15-20% it appears. By increasing the prices they've left themselves even worse off it appears ... I'd be very shocked if prices weren't slashed by at least 15% next season. You'd like to think they'd learnt their lesson ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BaRmY OwLs Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 flip me, kids for a quid and people still moan. Who gives a flying flip what the pigs do. Thing is m8 people always find something to moan and groan at. The club has done something really postive in doing this but still people want more. I am taking my lad to this match.
