Buy into the current goodwill and extend the deadline by a week

 

Lol, this forum sometimes. Calm down people, it's just a thread where someone is throwing ideas around.

 

The half season tickets would work however if only for covering the second half of the season.

Get them on sale in December for christmas presents etc. if the club were doing well, even knocking them out at £175 for ten games would equate to bums on seats, guaranteed income and a one game saving for the customer (i think)

 

All for Saturday only.

Get plenty of beer on sale, get all the kiosks open to reduce queues and encourage sales.

Keep them open after half time when it could become squeeky bum time and people need a beer.

Get another shipping container outside for Saturday, keep it open after the match if we are successful.

Sell flags outside the ground as we go in.

Sell packets of "calms" as we go in (other brands are available)

Set up a fag stall in the smoking area to calm the nerves (£5 a fag would be reasonable).

Rent out cushions on entry so when we squirm in our seats the pain is lessened.

Add spirits to the alcohol sales (no mixers).

Sell Graham Alexander face masks.

Sell tickets to allow people on the pitch at full time.

Have a raffle at £50 a pop to go on the beer with Andy Cook after the final whistle.

Auction a place in the dressing room after the match.

 

On that basis season ticket income would be HALVED for the 23/24 season…..Not a chance is that sound business. In fact it’s stupid.

 

Last home match of the season is always a decent crowd, out of respect. Get in early folks.

 

I think the reason we haven't offered half year ST in recent years is simply because our full year ST has been so damn cheap.

 

I think the club should do half year season tickets.. usually by new year you pretty much know where you will end up in the league so you have a choice to pay for more crap or leave for that season alternatively you renew if the club are really going for it!

 

To be fair to Kev on this one, it's the idea he is labelling as stupid, not the poster and whilst it could possibly have been worded better, I do agree that from a business pov, it's commercial suicide.

 

That's a different proposition to what the poster is proposing though. They're suggesting it should be available from the start of the season, which is why it is a terrible idea.

 

I am not sure it would really benefit the club.
Lets say we are doing well and attracting 2 to 3000 paying £20 on the gate, then give them the option of £10 in January.
Form could fall off and we would be ok, money in bank, but money lost if we carry on wining.

 

Grab your season ticket by Saturday 27th April 15:00 and get a 10% off voucher for the club store and be entered into a draw for exclusive access to next seasons shirt launch or free tickets to a pre season game etc?

 

A lot of clubs right across the EFL and non league already do, never understood why City don't

 

Sales for Saturday have already been decent prior to last night.
I'm expecting at least 19k

 

There should be no price cut, most of them will be the iam not going again brigade.

 

Am I missing something here, what about the fans who renewed the day they went on sale, Ok welcome all fans who are renewing but not to get vouchers because the purchased before the deadline.

 

Add them to the draw? Send them a discount code?

 

I do think they offered it once, can only imagine it didnt make much difference money wise then so didnt bother.
Cant be that much of an hassle to keep it as a yearly thing though as an option i wouldnt have thought.
