oldhamoafc Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Just wondering if it would be sensible to do a similar offer at the Tranmere game that we are doing for Carlisle? Maybe not to the extent to 2 squid but maybe reduce it to a tenner for adults and maybe 5 for under 16s? Considering the game is on sky i dont want everyone to see a 3/4 empty ground for a promotion chasing team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may well be in the think tank that one. I don't know anything like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club needs every penny it can get right now. The Sky money only covers a small amount of what we actually lose every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc88 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Maybe if the Carlisle game is a success then it would be considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 or maybe a voucher - people paying on the door next week get a voucher for a £10 ticket vs Trannies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevesmitt Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I think to do something similar for the Tranmere game the prices would have to be lower than £10 to get the stay aways back again. For £10 they could stay in the pub, in the warm and watch the game with a few pints. I think £5 would be a better deal, if we could get businesses to cover the costs. How about having something on the turnstiles on the night of the carlisle game where any fans that wish to can still pay the full £20 entrance fee. Ive read a few posts by people who have already bought there tickets and have said they will not claim the refund so maybe there is people who go who will be willing to still pay the full £20.

davebuckley06 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 or maybe a voucher - people paying on the door next week get a voucher for a £10 ticket vs Trannies? that wouldnt help in my opinion just the people who already go would get in cheaper. think 2 for 20 or3 for 30 sumat along them lines may have more luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc-latics Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 if you get to two of the peterborough/brighton/sheff weds games, then you get in for free or reduced price for the tranmere game? it'd give us higher attendances for three important home games coming up and hopefully a decent crowd for the trannies game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Cant see Sky being happy about us knocking the prices down for Tranmere TBH. If they are paying to screen the match, surely they would want their viewing figures to be as high as possible? giving tickets away at a reduced price to fans who are undecided about attending will reduce the viewing figures, and thus make the deal less attractive from their point of view? I wouldnt be surprised if Sky had it written into the contract that we are banned from reducing ticket prices for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is anti competitive, I doubt it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky want people to see a reasonably full stadium, and the capacity of BP is hardly going to dent Sky's viewing figures to any degree that would worry Murdoch!

Prendy_1984 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Why would 5000 extra people at boundary park really affect sky's viewing figures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all Sky prefer games where their are full stadiums to improve the atmosphere and the occasion (they like derby's at this level) I think they would openly welcome it and I think its pretty safe to assume they werent thinking about how many oldham and tranmere fans would watch on tv.

When we were on telly against Port Vale, wasnt there reduced admission - the game we won 2-1? I rememeber just under 7000 being there that day I think.

philliggi Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 fair enough, i stand corrected. just something i thought about and thought i would throw it into the ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Perhaps something like 2 home games for £30? Including the Tranmere game might be a better scheme to do. Almost guarranteeing attendance for 2 games plus the additional food sales etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
