That is very silly. We put on a cracking offer to get people down and put silly barriers in place to stop people doing so. Why not promote it right and pay on the night?

Why not promote it right and pay on the night? And if too many turn up five minutes before kick off and miss half the game they'll get slaughtered. Advance sales for a bargain sounds sensible to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobOAFC Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 A great offer, however they could of made it an offer with the Barnsley game e.g. £25 for adults and you get a ticket to both home games. It is a good offer though and hopefully will push it enough to get a relatively large attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 As the article says they are trying to get people to use the online service, if people cant be bothered to buy online or at the ticket office for £5 you are going to struggle anyway, it is a fair initiative by the club.

Aarondo Westy Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The statement says its part of a push to get fans to buy tickets online. I think it may of been better if you got £5 for booking online or by phone and £7 on the night rather than full price on the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may not have been enough differential - as it is it's a big saving to get a ticket online and that's the emphasis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what the club are trying to do, but not having it cheap for those who just want to turn up could and I will suggest will knock a good few 100 off the total crowd. I guess time will tell.

pk200 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Stand outside the ticket office. Ring them. Genius! Great prices though. Sounds the most sensible solution to a poorly thought out initiative. Phone in advance then queue on night at ticket office to get your ticket....stupid.

NewBlue Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Can't knock them trying. Won't be many takers as it is but a couple of wins and hopefully it'll be near 4000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeroyboy Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Next door to a giveaway and we get the usual 'they should have done this or that'.

nzlatic Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 If Corney offered to hand deliver a free ticket on a blue velvet pillow to anyone interested some would still moan it was the wrong shade of blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you seriously want to go Just Get On The Bloody Phone or do what you normally do. I think what people are saying is that if people could just turn up and pay a fiver it would have a bigger uptake than having to phone and pre buy tickets. Its an obsticle for people to use as a reason to not go. Fair play to the club though for the offer I just think that not having it a fiver on the day will result in the club not getting the maximum uptake. Having said that am going to try and get as many people as possible who I know are not Latics fans going to the game next Tuesday and currently have 2 extra people coming along. Bless them, have no idea what they are letting themselves in for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 On a wet Tuesday night with our form against Southend you couldn't get 4000 to turn out if you gave tickets away because we are competing against Champions League on the telly. Now you could have got a better response next Tuesday in the FA Cup but Mansfield and the FA would have to agree to that. Can't fault them for trying.

Bless them, have no idea what they are letting themselves in for I think the club are trying to get a commitment from fans. Tuesday night coming up to Christmas is hardly likely to attract too much interest even at a fiver. The club have clearly stated that the offer is to help fans with financing 3 home games, this means regular fans in my view. The casuals wouldn't come anyway if it was a foul night.
