Club confirms pricing ST/ on the day

I think where this is going to fall down for the club is the 2 pound increase on the day, I get they want to know the crowd in advance but is there really that much more admin for an on the day purchase? Seems daft to me.

But the real looser here is the fact someone who buys a membership can’t purchase an other ticket or two at membership prices. That’ll stop a lot of non ST holders bringing their missus/mates/ work colleagues etc.

That’s a mistake in my opinion. I’m sure BM said try ‘nobbling’ the neighbours to come. This just puts a barrier in the way of that.

That's a good point, it would've been better if the membership was maybe £25 but they could purchase up to 4 tickets for the discounted price. That said, I've no idea if there are EFL rules that restrict what we can do.
 
As a senior it will be slightly less than £14 per game add to that my travel, presently around £14 by train and a home game will cost me approx £28 plus food and drink, until train fares go up.

I can't grumble at that.

So long as I'm not kicking up daisies I'll see you all next season. :)

Just to add that the season ticket is my Birthday and Christmas present from the missus. 👍
 
The match ticket pricing seems extreme to me and is going to limit attendance to committed regular fans. It'll be 90% season ticket holders probably. At least. And 10% memberships. Or less. And nobody else.

We have a lot of scope to sell to occasional visitors but we've pretty much snuffed that out, deliberately it would seem.

That's how it feels. Maybe I'm over reacting. But £32 walk on. They might sell a handful.

I actually don't think they're too bothered, I mean they aren't stupid they will surely recognise that they aren't going to sell many matchday tickets at £32. If they wanted to attract the occasional fan, they wouldn't price tickets that way. I'm not saying it's the right policy at all, just that they will be well aware of the impact. I don't think this is a misjudgement, it's a deliberate policy for whatever reason.

That why I said it seems to be deliberate. 👍 Winky ting.
 
At a guesstimate I’d imagine 80-90% of fans believe charging £30 is far too steep for our local area and still trying to grow the fan base, surely the club already know this and I hope they adjust those walk in prices. Should be between £24-£26 imo and yes I do understand the membership model.
 
I think the st are priced correct and also the membership scheme to get a fiver discount is right too. Walk ons is a bit steep but then on the other hand if it wasn't then there would be no real value in everyone else getting a membership so from that point of view I think it's fair enough.
 
I think the important thing to remember is that the Club have the advantage of historical purchase data.

So unlike us who are essentially speculating on Matchday purchase habits, number of games attended etc… they have all that info to hand.

I agree that £32 is a lot, but realistically nobody need pay £32 unless they are attending a single game on the day and don’t wish to make a member so they can attend more games..
 
Again it will be x2 season tickets ordered and at that price they are not unreasonable. I also feel that £32 is too much to ask and will put people off so losing fans who cannot afford that.
 
£16.04 per game, for the 5th best division in Europe is fantastic.

Regarding the individual match ticket price I guess you have to look at how many people attend games who aren’t STHs (I don’t know the answer to this). Assume the £32 is so we can charge the away fans that much?
 
I think £32 for a walk up is very pricey for us. Suggests the club strategy is to try to move people towards more planned attendance, which of course doesn't always work for people.
Do the club not have to charge away fans the same rates as home fans for a walk in.

I assume that the discounted membership and competitively priced season tickets allow the club to capitalise on big away followings whilst trying to keep costs down for home supporters ?Seams sensible and as fair as it can be to me.

If we have 8000+ season tickets and average 10000 home fans, that leaves 2000 match tickets per game, of which most will will attend multiply games so can take advantage of the membership scheme

The club are obviously looking at being as fair as possible home fans and maximising revenue to run the club

So we're ripping off away fans then as well as our own?

This is one for Wiz how many times has he been charged 30 or more to attend a game in the Championship?
I've done quite a few this calender year and not paid £30 hope it isn't recipicated on our travels.

It's a terrible PR disaster we can charge that much when every ground in the North is going to be cheaper.

But hey it's Blackpool we can go on the piss see the attraction's and illuminations so we've got to pay extra to go in their crappy temporary stand.

All fans are equal (apart from one😁) and should be treated that way not ripped off.
