Post Liverpool season ticket offer

Why should they?
They've done enough loads of opportunities to get 1

 

"Unbelievable showing"?

We had a fortunate penalty awarded and without the two attempts that were rightly offside there wasn't really much else to cheer.

I understand it was Liverpool and they've some talented players, I've no argument with them battering us. I'm just curious to know why you described it in the way you did?

 

I left my decision to re-new until a couple of weeks ago, so payed full price.
No problem, my choice, but it would bring a shower of complaints from some if they now drop the price again.

As Shoatsy said, everyone had plenty of time and they are not particularly expensive now.


I was more pissed off with losing the seat I have sat in since Midland Rd opened, but there again no-ones fault but mine.

 

100% the same situation as me, paid a little more, but still pretty cheap even now. Really not sure why they'd do another offer, like you say, everyone's had plenty of time previously, coupled with us making some decent signings early on - they shouldn't need anymore persuading/incentives in my opinion.

 

Maybe advertising the current offer would have been a good idea on Sunday.

 

The awful PA system, rancid toilets and bird shit covered seats were probably enough to put the casual fans off anyway.

 

Then if there was an offer now... would piss off the 14k who bought a season ticket

 

I agree there is an opportunity to do something. We sold out the ground (even if many were Liverpool fans) and the momentum is building again for the new season.

Why not offer a discount on pre-match tickets for the first home game? Adult tickets £15? or kids in free with every paying adult?

Or even look to sell a group of tickets for the first four games at a discounted price?

There is scope to do something without pissing off the ST holders.

 

Sorry you are wrong on this one. Regardless of efforts before, which have been fairly successful, the Liverpool game was a great opportunity to bring in more long term supporters and promote the name of Bradford City to a new audience. There’s a huge potential of untapped support and there isn’t an organisation out there that wouldn’t take advantage of an event such as Sunday. They are actually waiting for the info coming back to see what interest Sunday did promote in terms of tickets sold/ enquiries made about potential purchases.

 

Why? If you have already bought a ticket so what? Isn’t going to hurt anyone who already has one. The pursuit of new supporters doesn’t end just because a deadline has come and gone.

 

What case are you resting?

 

They had plenty of time to get one

 

I think you're giving the casual sky sports fan too much credit.. They don't want or care about watching Live football.. They're happy to sit at home and watch football on their illegal stream, spending £90 on a premier league shirt claiming to be the biggest fan in the world.

 

Your missing the point. Any chance to promote a product on the back of a big event is a no brainer. It costs very little as its the event itself thats promoting it. Bar a cup game against a top six premier side we won’t have that sort of interest at Valley Parade for at least two years, more likely longer. You take every chamce you get, not to do so is bad business practice.

 

What about doing a postal shoot on those that bought tickets for the Liverpool game? We could offer a discount, surely it is better than having empty seats? Accompany this with a social media blitz, video’s of players saying how much they appreciate fan support? Have the photos and videos as part of the promotion.

 

I get where you are coming from but for me offering a cheap season ticket now would be a kick in the teeth for anyone who has paid full price then you'd get people not buying at full price in future seasons as they expect it will be reduced late on.I agree that we should have offered something to attract some new fans whilst they were there and caught up in the moment when they are most likely to buy a ticket to come again. For me the best option would have been to offer everyone that attended a discount either on a specific match or a few options of matches that way you could offer it as something for new fans and also as a "bring a friend for £x" to season ticket holders that way everyone can benefit and nobody should feel short changed.

 

We did better than Barcelona.

Trust you to pick out the bit in that to bicker about.
It was an enjoyable game, irrespective of the result. The point of the post was that it was a missed opportunity to sign up some new blood, which I entirely agree with.

 

We also once beat Chelsea, so what!

It was a successful day and I'm sure the majority enjoyed it but if people won't buy season tickets at a reduced rate before the game then there won't be many new subscribers just because we had a full house in a game we barely touched the ball in.

 

Yep. Whether it’s reduced pricing or just pushing advertising for STs and Flexis. Or even just a discount flier for the gift shop, it’s a missed opportunity.
