Moderators Carlos Posted February 11, 2015 Moderators Posted February 11, 2015 Bournemouth prove that money isn't everything. We've got the best mon in the league IMO, players want to play for him, every chance next season. Best chance we'll ever have.
davidjack Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Not an either/or though Mounts - yeah, let's make sure as many Boltonian kids as poss are Wanderers fans (club has made good strides but can always do more by getting round every school in the borough etc), but also let's get those who for whatever reason stopped going to start coming back in greater numbers.
Mounts Kipper Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 £400 per season ticket??  Current ST income around £2.9m Something wrong with them figures that would equate to just over 7000 STH think we've more than that not sure how many are kids though.
Moderators Horwich Posted February 11, 2015 Author Moderators Posted February 11, 2015 The average ticket price is about £8.15 (i based my figures on £8.50)  Going off your figure of £6m, we are currently averaging 30,690 fans, so i can see why you are not interested in increasing that.  We are building row A-C this summer to fit em in
Ani Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 It's not a win win for the club they lose about 6 million.And what happens the season after when fans got out of the habit of paying for a season ticket? Â if we sell more tickets next year as a result club wins, if we get promoted the investment is worth it and the cost as a % of income would be hardly noticeable.
Moderators Horwich Posted February 11, 2015 Author Moderators Posted February 11, 2015 11000 st holders @ £8.15 per game = just over £2m

No parachute payments after 2015/16 Edited February 11, 2015 by Horwich
paulhanley Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I get fed up of season ticket holders moaning about deals because they've already paid up front. I have a season ticket. I am a Bolton fan - I want what is best for the good of the club. Bringing back lapsed fans and filling the ground is good for the club. Let's do it.  If you want some formula that links season tickets holders in to the whole thing, do it so that they can take a friend for a fiver or better still a friend for £20 to get to three games.  I'd also love to have a go back at Wigan for trying to invade our catchment area with their "marketing". Special deals for Atherton, Leigh, Tyldesley, Chorley types. Probably no feasible way of doing that but it'd be a nice thing to stick two fingers up at the pie-eating cunts while they drift back in to obscurity.

Agree with the last paragraph, the getting lapsed fans back I think has proven a failure that's why we should concentrate more on the next generation rather than the lapsed.
jules_darby Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Got to be honest that crowd suprised me. How many ST holders are there? Wondered how many extra one offs came.I didn't think it looked much over 10k
Site Supporter Spider Posted February 11, 2015 Site Supporter Posted February 11, 2015 Any kids booked on to the half term bwfc football courses get a free ticket for the Brighton game (£15 for an adult)  They are targeting the kids and that's spot on. It's up to the parents to make sure they aren't tempted by the slimy cunts down the road.  Winning football is truly the only thing that gets bums on seats.
Moderators Horwich Posted February 11, 2015 Author Moderators Posted February 11, 2015 Those at BWFC school also get free tickets
Ani Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I'd love to know how the club work out the averge cost of a ticket, we must have a lot of pensioners and kids. They divide the money paid by the number of tickets sold.
Mounts Kipper Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 They divide the money paid by the number of tickets sold. I knew someone would say that ????I'm far from convinced the calculator works.
Moderators Horwich Posted February 11, 2015 Author Moderators Posted February 11, 2015 At least they have a calculator ????????

COYW Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 If you want some formula that links season tickets holders in to the whole thing, do it so that they can take a friend for a fiver or better still a friend for £20 to get to three games.  But that benefits the friend of the season ticket holder, rather than the season ticket holder.
COYW Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Bournemouth prove that money isn't everything. Â Bournemouth have spent a small fortune for this league.
Juan.Kerr Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 As a season ticket holder I support any such offers. Â Bring a mate for fiver say. Kids for a quid, anything. Â As Bigtoe mentioned, let's get people back on board this season and grow from there. Â Going the game is 100% better than at start of year so as a season ticket holder I am happy with value I have had! will enjoy games more with a few thousand more on. Â Maybe a few get the bug back and that gives us money and impetus to grow from. Â I agree. As a ST holder I think we should get something, but I'm not sure how we would go about it. Discounted cup tickets should be a cert. Discounted food and drinks wouldn't benefit me, as I can't drink the ale and am too lazy to get in a queue anyway. Someone mentioned one-offs turning up last night. Behind me there were a load of foreign types, Scandinavian perhaps. They were quite loud occasionally, but with no malice and helped to get a bit of atmosphere going. On the whole the match-day experience is tons better.
Mounts Kipper Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Surely we should be looking at ways to really offer additional benefits to season ticket holders to make them feel valued, the recent Liverpool free coach tickets could have been just to season ticket holders, part timers charge a fiver, discounts in the fanzone, discounts in the club shop and hotel also free tickets for the first round FA and league cup games for season ticket holders I'm sure that if the club try a little harder they could think of loads of benefits to offer season ticket holders, value the customers you have rather than those you don't have should be the priority.

Smiley Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Buy 2015/16 for £400 - get 2016/17 for £99 if promoted or £250 if not.
Guest Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Win games, get promoted, stay up; the only game in town
kent_white Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I'm a non season ticket holder this year for the first time in years. Student Nursing is shit money and there aren't currently any concessions for student types.  Anyway - I'm looking at it from the other side of the fence now. There was no way I could have afforded £28 last night, particularly after an expensive month with the two Liverpool games. If it had been £15 I wouldn't have been able to afford it either - but I know I would have ended up going.  When I was a season ticket holder - I would still have settled for a busier ground and a better atmosphere - irrespective of whether or not it means I missed out.
Moderators Casino Posted February 11, 2015 Moderators Posted February 11, 2015 When calculating the price per head, season ticket kids are 3 quid a game There's adults paying 6 quid to bwfc and 4 to a pub/kids team There's no way bwfc is too expensive
