there is no news of the 5 year ones!!!!!

Fair play to the club, adult ticket for premier league football for ?15.73 per game in the North Stand.

I agree just worked out ours ?21.50 a pop - bargain compare to most!!

 

Can't remember if there is a change on last year tho?!

That will be the area i go on if i renew,i did try and relocate there several seasons ago due to price but it was oversubscribed.

I am all for getting kids in,but these prices are likely to get the crowd similar to the make up of a schoolboys international crowd imo.

Did people really enjoy the Rabotnicki atmosphere when the kids for a quid scheme meant they took over the ground?

It is likely the kids will congregate in the north stand lower or east stand corner, if you keep away from them areas you should not have a problem. We need to get kids involved otherwise when all the miserable owd feckers throw in the towel because the reebok is too far from Bolton town centre, the place is going to be desolate.

With adult tickets ?110 cheaper in the North Lower than any other section of the ground,there is likely to be a big demand from adults in that area.I would hope the club will give preference to adults over kids in that area.

 

It makes sense to take an adults ?299 rather than a kids ?49.

For ESL 410 for an adult ticket, but 50 for kids? surely that is taking the p!ss?

Pricing lacks imagination and forward thinking, disappointed.

I think the pricing is fair enough. ?409 again (21.50 a match) can't really call that. Most other clubs have increased there prices this season. The club has also decided that kids are the way forward at ?2.50 a game, hopefully a few more people will turn up next year when the kids are nagging them to go.

go on then, what would be your suggestion?

sort of agree with the disappointed bit

 

but

 

guess that's because I don't sit in the North Lower and am 30

I amazed that they have not done something to reduce the prices in the upper tiers.

 

I am surprised that there is nothing in there for people who currently sit in North Stand who do not want to be in a singing stand.

 

 

HOWEVER...

 

a season ticket for ?299 is as low as anyone could have hoped for is nt it ? under ?20 per game.

 

For me it is a saving of ?50 from last year due to cheaper kids ticket, I could save more by moving elsewhere in the ground but ?498 for 2 of us aint bad.

 

What is going to be difficult i imagine for the club is when the north stand sells out and people will be asked to pay ?100 extra for a ticket anywhere else in the ground.

 

 

If people will not pay ?299 for a season ticket they are very unlikely to but one at all.

 

Sadly even at these prices I do not see the fans flocking back.

I can not understand why it has taken them so long to get this years information published.

 

I was expecting something a little more than kids for ?49

That was my point, I ain't paying full whack to be surrounded by kids paying threepence ha'penny. I just don't get it, where's the incentive for people who didn't renew last season? As the for early discount, they really need to get rid of that, along with the ghost of Des McBain.

You'd want a woman for that

I was a bit surprised when last years early purchase ESL was ?409, rather than the psychologically more attractive ?399 and I would have to say the same again, though its not going to make much difference I suspect. It seems like as far as getting more adult STs in they've put all their eggs in the NSL basket.

Tell you what, there's going to be some bloody owd looking "15 year olds" in this season

Think it would have been a better idea if they didn't have the ?49 kids tickets in the North lower

Yep, I may sound like a miserable git, but I dont have any kids, and the last thing I want is to be surrounded by them at a match. A lot of the younger ones have no interest in the match anyway.

I know it fills the stadium, but kids for a quid bugs the hell out of me. Suppose if they are at the game they are not kicking the sh!t out of phone boxes/bus shelters though!!

Exactly.

 

I suppose if gives the orange warriors some new targets though.

and

 

isn't the NSL pretty much one stand that sells out anyway?

 

so as Ani said

 

this won't necessarily get the fans back, just a bonus for those already in there

Which is a worthy aim; retain your existing customers is a good starting point in any marketing campaign.

...but what about retaining the fans in the rest of the ground.

 

Surely only reducing the cost in one stand is going to piss off a lot more people than it is going to please.

I sit with my son in the west stand lower, why should i pay ?400 plus but someone in the north stand pays ?299, thats why i think the pricing is disappointing, a small section of cheap season tickets, how does that reward the people who renew year after year who sit in other areas.

 

This does not attract me to renew, this does not take away the sour taste of Lisbon, i see nothing in the deal for the vast majority of season ticket holders to renew.

but

 

there is some resentment that the existing holders in NSL are getting a decent reduction

 

there are far more STs to p?ss off in the other stands than to keep happy in that stand

 

I'm not arsed about the kids offer, fair play on that one, hope it gets attendances up

 

not sure how much impact on attendances the NSL offer would have, as I said, has that stand not got plenty STs in there anyway? would be surprised if there were that much more than 1000 tickets left you could sell on a matchday last season
