They need to try and attract some fans back for the remaining home fixtures. Most of them will be "nothing games" and arent going to attract fans at normal prices. We need to get some ticket deals on. Get our marketing team to push these deals and try and get people back.

Hopefully that will have a knock on effect on st sales for the season after

 

Whats everyone think??

My NSU adult and child half ticket was £205.

 

Thats pretty good value IMO when you split the cost for two.

what makes 15 quid fair?

 

its about what im spending, fwiw

 

in fact, 3 of us get in for under 25 quid a game

Because the players are not of international quality and many teams in the league are pure dogshit

dont talk out of your rather large arse

 

£7 to park, £28 ticket, £15 fuel, £30 on pies

 

bullshit

 

cept the pie spend obvs

 

that was my take on a match day for me.

 

it is £7 to park. Match tickets are £28 and fuel for my journey is £15

£15

 

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahhaha

 

It costs £10 to watch Chorley in the Conference North. It's £15 at Bury.

Did you make your kid chip in £102:50 then? :-)

No way would I pay £28 to watch second tier football, £15 fair price, £20 at a push and I am not a skinflint

My old man always said, Football shouldn't cost more than the cost of drinking beer in the same time frame.

 

So I'd say you're about right with those prices £15-£20.

 

Unfortunately the world's gone mad, bog average footballers got greedy, agents leeched & chairmen allowed to have wool pulled over their eyes.

 

What I would suggest for next season, a cheap area, like the Germans. £20 behind the goal, pay on gate available(who wants to queue twice?) , bring back dad's & lads ticket.

 

Other than that, I think we've got it spot on.

just checked and its only 15 quid at stockport tomorrow against barrow

 

we need to cut our prices

I think the question is, whether there is anything feasibly the club can do that will have a positive effect short and or long term.

 

They aren't in a position to lose money so anything has to be break even or at least very minimal loss and has to be realistically within that margin. For example they aren't going to cut prices to £10 a ticket and no matter how many people claim they make the loss back on refreshment and bar bills, they don't.

 

Thing is, apart from the extra stewarding for having a full house, it wouldn't matter whether they gave the remaining tickets away for free, got a tenner each for them or just left the seats empty I don't see how selling them cheap would lose money for the club. There is no expenditure for free tickets over and above that they were already committed to by staging the game for 14,000 people.

Or get relegated 5 times on the bounce.

beacuse, come summer, season tickets stop looking the attractive proposition that they seemingly are for the 8/9k who buy them

My old man always said, Football shouldn't cost more than the cost of drinking beer in the same time frame.

 

 

That's how our ticket pricing structure is laid out its just we employ bill werbeniuk to do the calculations and he drinks in coast to coast

 

I didn't go on Saturday as i am under the thumb but it is hard to be arsed with it without a season ticket. £7 to park, £28 ticket, £15 fuel,£30 on pies...

You've caved too easily there pal. Haha

its now or never

 

once she speaks the language its all over

dunno what you're disagreeing with

 

i agree footballs not cheap

 

but i can see why its not cheap

 

while its 20 quid for non league stuff, i dunno what we're supposed to do

 

if cutting the prices by a third for everybody filled the ground, lets do it

 

but it wont

 

and for anybody shouting about the current entertainment value, wins will always get more folk in than entertainment

Hence my point that football will get fucked off in general non league too. The bubble has to burst. A scenario. Where lads not in the top flight are picking up 25-30k a week is ridiculous.

Financially, the Championship is the shittest league in the world to be in. You are just outside the richest league in the world, you are competing with clubs that have just dropped out of that league and need to be geared to being able to compete should you achieve promotion, but without the real financial resources to do so. This is when you need your hard core support to stand by you.

 

I hope the club take note of who stood by them and who deserted them. Fuck knows why these people still bore us on here, let it go, go take up crown green bowling or something.

Well our prices must be right then ????

 

Our attendances are only going one way ????

Problem for most folk who dont attend is the cost to get there or lack of decent transport options, you can make it as cheap as possible but some people are afraid to travel to the outer lands of Lostock. 

 

I am against cheap tickets as that only attracts more than the usual half wits to the ground, but better trains and buses may be a more sensible idea.

Well our prices must be right then

 

Our attendances are only going one way

 

 

as soon as you focussed on attendances rather than income, you lost me

 

all that matters is getting the money in

 

logically, the higher our income, the more chance we have of being at the top of the league

 

that is what will get the numbers in and in turn the money

 

 

fwiw, i have no problem with a free season ticket to anybody who has one next season, if we go up

 

seems very sensible

 

 

 

probably stick something in about us needing to sell say 12k season tickets next season for the deal to kick in

 

Whether you think it's 'acceptable' or not is irrelevant. We're operating in an area with more professional football clubs than almost anywhere else in Europe, including one of the world's biggest. Support for any team in the area is bound to be limited for those reasons alone and that's before you start examining other factors. For some reason you seem to think that we should be an exception to this.

Not an exception no. It's the decline in support what is the issue.

 

Man United and Man City haven't all of a sudden gobbled up 4k of our supporters since the we came down.

 

If the fact that our support is declining year on year in this division doesn't bother you then crack on. For me the trend needs stopping because if it doesn't we will be seeing sub 11k gates next season if we aren't like I say challenging for promotion.

Trains aren't an issue, there aren't any. Never used the buses but there cheap enough and bring fans right to the ground. Trouble is the average person wants everything on a plate these days.

Were on satdy, inlaws go train into Manc from Warrington then train to Bolton then a bus replacement from bolton to horwich. Piss take

£5 to take a friend deal for season ticket holders v Millwall.

£5 to take a friend deal for season ticket holders v Millwall.

What if I had 2 friends?

 

We've done this before, or similar, problem I've got with this deal, is if you're sat in an already full area of seats..... Where does your friend sit? On your knee? Or is it just a case of take a friend & go your separate ways, therefore not taking a friend?

Warrington to Horwich by public transport is a nightmare they might have been better doing Warrington to Preston then Preston Horwich park way. The club should consider Warrington to Horwich bus via Leigh surely there's a few Bolton would use that route.
