Adelatics Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Was just curious if anyone had heard any more on the "special" offer for next year? Last rumour I heard was £200 pound plus vat and a home shirt? Seriously considering getting one next year as I've got the bug again this year I've been going 18 years but always picked my fixtures as I live in northwich Cheshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adelatics Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 I did think that would make a difference just curious if anyone had heard any whispers personally I don't think 240 is too bad it's more do-able than 300 odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Elvis 1977 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yes I might get a season ticket next season if that's the offer. I live in Formby so after 20 years of a season ticket I pick my games as well because too expensive . Got the bug also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markspark92 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 There was supposed to be a leaked video on the Football League website an interview with Dean Furman revealing the offer wich Latics dident want on there a statement was put out a few week ago ! Don't know if anyone seem it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelatics Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 To be honest I've Enjoyed away matches more the last few years the atmosphere has seemed better but a few home games lately walking out onto the chaddy brought back memories of being 10 and seeing it all for the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelatics Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Didn't see it but a good offer after this years cup run would surely see a lot more sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddyKid Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I've been hearing the £200 rumours as well. I really hope they are true! Would add to the atmosphere as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinodriscoll Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 if the that was the offer id seriously consider getting one thats pretty damn cheap tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 If its £200 and a shirt can I have mine for £180 with no shirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticdickovarmy Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 If it is £200 +vat and a shirt I will buy a season ticket Agree with the above away games seem to be best but thing that applies for most clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelatics Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 If it is that price I'll get one I think, have to say away to forest this year was an amazing 15 minutes but the half hour after that I was missing smoking in grounds! Was nice to see a full bp against Liverpool shame I can't go to everton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Puzzled that £240 is so much more attractive than £308. But pleased it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_balls Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Puzzled that £240 is so much more attractive than £308. But pleased it is. Because it means people will have near enough £70 extra in their pockets when they purchase one, £10 a game, can't sniff at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Because it means people will have near enough £70 extra in their pockets when they purchase one, £10 a game, can't sniff at that. I can do the maths thanks. The way people are talking suggests that a 20%+ price cut will pay for itself though. That surprises me. I hope it's right.

LaticsChris Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Puzzled that £240 is so much more attractive than £308. But pleased it is. Well aside from being significantly cheaper - 22% - I think the drop below the £300 mark makes it sound a lot cheaper when you initially hear/read it. Rather like things being charged at £9.99 for example. Throw in a shirt (valued around £40!) and you're effectively getting your ticket for £200 - a third off. I'd take that up, I've probably spent that paying on the gate this year. Plus it would give me the right to complain because my Aunty Mabel can't sit next to me at next season's big cup games.

Monty Burns Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I cant do tuesdays because my lad trains so I cancelled my ST. £240 wouldnt win me back but £200 would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's right. i agree, its certainly a good offer and will entise a few back but i wouldnt say its 'special' as corney said it would be. Not complaining like but dont think it will be a huge hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 For £240, which if my maths are right would be the cost with vat added, means that: 1.) You only have to see 12 games for it to become worth the money, which is very handy if you know you are only able to see weekend games. 2.) A free shirt, which is probably not all that much of a good deal as many will have one and the home shirt will only last a year longer. 3.) The vouchers for big games, which have been very useful in the past 2 seasons. 4.) Other extras like cheaper prices at the shop, ressies and pre-season friendly (but only if we aren't playing a big club). Points 1+2+3+4 all make it a more attractive deal and better value for money. It might mean that we loose a significant bit of the match day income throughout the season though, so will require careful budgeting and a team that doesn't need to buy players to help survival.

Good, well why you saying your puzzled that £240 is so much more attractive than £308? you don't need to be Carol Vorderman to understand that a ST that is £68 cheaper and works out at £10 per game is alot more attractive to people!

That's not what he's saying. He's saying that the aim of putting on such an offer is to increase uptake to a point that actually brings in more revenue for the club and he's not convinced (and nor am I) that the reduction is sufficient to create the required increase in the number of punters.

opinions4u Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Good, well why you saying your puzzled that £240 is so much more attractive than £308? you don't need to be Carol Vorderman to understand that a ST that is £68 cheaper and works out at £10 per game is alot more attractive to people! <insert inappropriate swear word of a personal nature> My point is very much around the supply and demand curves and finding the optimum price to generate maximum income for Latics. A 22% price cut generating a 10% increase in sales is not a particularly great outcome. But a 30% increase in sales. I'm surprised a price cut of less than £3 a game is big enough to drive that extra demand that's needed. But I hope it is. Merely speculating over where that optimum point is.

Have to agree, 68 quid wouldn't be a mind changer for me, 150 off current price would though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
