SatanGreavsie Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Would be suicide to put them up. Far to many empty seats at the moment and the priorty should be to get them folk back not to loose even more. Over the past 2 seasons I've knocked 90% of my away games on the head and that pissed me off at the time, but I am now use to not going. How long before I join the ranks of the ones already use to not going down to the Reebok? My priorities lie at Undies Towers not at Bolton Wanderers. tis an important point Undies - fans are creatures of habit, and once you break the habit....

Guest Muzzle Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 BOLTON Wanderers are set to buck the trend by announcing a season ticket price freeze. But the good news does not end there for supporters, with the club announcing major reductions on ticket prices for youngsters. The Bolton News understands that, for the third successive year, season tickets will have either been pegged or reduced at a time when rival clubs are coming under fire for imposing substantial increases. For the full details on the ticket reductions, read The Bolton News on Wednesday
globaldiver Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Blackburn have issued a press release today saying the BBC is not comparing like with like (most purchased on an early scheme). They also say reduced prices contributed to a rise in 12% in attendances at Ewood http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Sea...,,10303,00.html Wigans also look very reasonable http://www.wiganlatics.premiumtv.co.uk/pag...,,10429,00.html United look steep but you wouldn't like to be drawn at home in the Coca/FA cup early round and have to fork out these prices http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid=...1-A6D4C579EEE1} Stop it, it's too funny.

For the full details on the ticket reductions, read The Bolton News on Wednesday I'm disappointed with a 'Freeze'. The club should have been reducing them substantially to a level around the same as Blackburn. Think we came third from bottom in the average attendences last season. I expect there will be no improvement this season as I'm sure the type of player Megson prefers will inspire nobody to come along who is 'on the fence' ... a large reduction in price may have seen the Reebok full again. As it is, I expect record lows Edited May 28, 2008 by Arnold Jackson

As it is, I expect record lows I think a "freeze" is as much as we could hope for really. I wonder, if the club did announce a 15% price reduction, would it make a great deal of difference to how many would buy a season ticket. I think a lot of people made that decision prior to any prices being released. I certainly expect "record low" ST holders for us, as a PL club, but I would expect our attendances will still be around the same level as they have been in the season just gone, with more folk paying on the day
frank_spencer Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 apparently there's a 10% reduction in the NSL. that may just be from 'a man in the pub' but if true, jobs a good un
chorley Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 apparently there's a 10% reduction in the NSL. that may just be from 'a man in the pub' but if true, jobs a good un Short sighted. Thats going to mean even less season ticket holders, it would not surprise me if Wigan nearly match our average attendance next season, their ticket pricing is attracting new season ticket holders, new people watching football. We look expensive when compared with Blackburn and Wigan. Do not think i will renew, the first time for about 28 years, with the free junior whites tickets, bring a friend, special offers, working away and missing the odd game - not an attractive offer for me.

Big E Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 who was it who had a membership last year and worked out they paid about ?4 extra over the whole season? surely this makes the price freeze worthless. i am undecided if i will be getting a ticket. i dont want to feel i have to go to the midweek shite against teams like fulham and the 5.15 kick offs when i am going out.

You'll be a ragging liverpool fan next if you carry on at this rate. "im only goin to the champs league games at anfield, coz they is boss laaa" and so on.

But if you are going to all the games anyway, its easier to pay upfront then all you need is beer money. If you suddenly get 3 home games in a month, people site its too expensive. If we were winning every week I'm sure you would want to go midweek !! Go straight out after a 5-15, back in Manchester for 8 - perfect timing !!
Carlos Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Can anyone explain to me why, as someone who hasn't bought a ST for a couple of years, where's the incentive for me to buy one this year? I was expecting a price nearer ?300 than ?400, now it sounds as if it's going to be over ?400 again. I won't be bothering.
Sweep Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 But if you are going to all the games anyway, its easier to pay upfront then all youneed is beer money. People may prefer to keep the money in their own account, as opposed to putting it in BWFC's account. I think that everybody now realises that there is very little financial incentive to get an ST, so why not keep the money in your own account.

blackleywhite Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Anyone got a list of the season ticket prices from last season? It seems to have vanished off the official site.
alibob Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Now, I'm trying to save money and an easy way to do this would be to not get a ST and then pick and choose which matches to go to. (and go for a fiver as someones friend ) However, I think if I stopped going for some matches I'd find it hard to motivate myself to go to others. I'd be one of them glory grabber types
Carlos Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Eggsf?ckingzackerly! Indeedydoodly. I've got an offset mortgage and despise paying interest to every penny stays in my bank account until the very last moment. People who give their money away for ease are either rich, stupid or both.
Horwich Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Last season we will have sold a record number of ST's since we moved to the Reebok (Premier league). The club have done nothing to address this. We will sell less than last season. Last summer we said that they had got the pricing policy wrong and thats what happend.

Horwich, as you know...............a price freeze is virtually a cost down "in real terms" blah,blah

I won't be bothering. some people on here will say that youre a jcl just because you've not got a s.t. iam in total agreement with you,there's no incentive to go,you won't be the only one not getting one,iam sure thousands of others will be in the same boat, saturday afternoons in the pub's throughout the nation will be busy with people watching there relative teams in action. i'll be one of them and will pick and choose my matches, if that makes me a jcl then so be it.
superwhitesub Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Season_Ticket_Prices.pdf Hopefully if the upload works this is last years prices
Horwich Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Just because some other clubs have increased. BWFC must feel that it is ok to freeze. They will sell less than last season.
marple whites Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 People may prefer to keep the money in their own account, as opposed to putting it in BWFC's account. I think that everybody now realises that there is very little financial incentive to get an ST, so why not keep the money in your own account. The financial interest you give up is negligable. Also if you are paying each game, you might have an expensive month and find that a big game that you did want to attend - you haven't the money for. If it stays in your account you always end up wasting it on something else. Its like when you get a payrise you always start with good intentions of saving so much of it, but at the end of each month you have always spent it and can't remember what on.
