Only Blue Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I think we are in danger of getting fixated with the figures. It's more than understandable that the number will dip after last season and would do at most clubs so let's not beat ourselves up about it. As long as we get the product right on the pitch the supporters will come back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another fan Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Cant be arsed with doing the figures but with the reasonable increase in price and the current number of tickets sold wont this be similar to the revenue raised by season ticket sales last year?

Yes but when we average around 5000 empty home seats every game for me it's better to get them through the door at the lower price because they will spend as much each when we get them here, if we were at capacity I get it but the grounds half empty every week. Justifying it by saying we have 3000 who will pay whatever the price harks back to the previous regime, on the flip side if we can have a good start it leaves plenty of seats for the POTD fan who'll have to pay an higher price, putting them up and losing a few is a gamble.

AndyB2 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Haven’t had a season ticket for 30 years. Last season, and to some degree the season before, were anomalies in that there was no correlation between quality of product and sales (the frank effect). That effect (on crowds) won’t last another season as I have no doubt season ticket sales will be showing. However, the last couple of seasons have proved that our fan base is there to be had (I previously wasn’t convinced of that). But no business can expect its customers to shell out when the product is poor. The new season is a reset in that regard and we will see a more honest correlation between product quality and number of paying punters. Over to you Royle, Mickey et al 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 From the fans forum - Tuesday May 21: Q: Is there a season ticket update? LR: I think we've just tipped over 3,000 today which is better than we were expecting. It's the same as where we were this time last year, 10 per cent down in numbers but in terms of revenue it's the same. Season tickets are a massive element to player budget so thank you for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR politician answer, over the moon we've made the same money from less punters shite. The increase in prices was designed to generate more money from the same number of punters, So they are disappointed really. Call a spade a spade and be credable.

What do you want him to say? We’re not arsed about season ticket money? Of course he’ll say that,and with some credibility- he wants and needs as much income as possible. I never said it was an element of incomings. What I said was and I stick to is isn’t a massive element. If it was - why did LR go onto to say later. (Paraphrasing in response to a question about the families commitment to the club) We’re still really enjoying it, and we’ll currently putting 6 figures a month into the football club, we’ll continue to do that until we can it make self sustainable. Why do the family need to put 6 figures in A MONTH if season tickets are a massive element. Because current season tickets sales don’t come anywhere near covering costs. If we had 6/7 thousand season tickets sales I’d agree with you, but we don’t. We rely on season tickets, potd, gym, hospitality and the family are still making up a 6 figure shortfall every month.
