£20 tickets against Luton

Good, at last. Hopefully it will improve home crowd numbers, about which there's been much speculation on here as to whether the lower prices would make a difference.

A cold (probably) November day , with an expected low away attendance. We'd have been looking at 10,000 possibly less.

£15 with a membership as well 👏 👏

You have a situation like mine . Me and my son are season ticket holders . My wife used to be a season ticket holder . Now she doesn't come to matches as she looks after a grand child who is 8 and has never been to a match before. Her father and myself feel as though she would not have enough interest to sit through a full 90 minutes . This game gives us a reasonable opportunity to see if she will . If so there is a good chance of 2 more season ticket holders for next season.

Yep gives us a chance to have a another look how much price can affect things. Always helps if we've won a few games too.

This will help people when money is tight, it also feels a good deal.

Why would an adult just stumble upon Blackpool fc because it’s a tenner cheaper, a tenner is next to nothing .

Clearly not one of the ones where money is tight.

This will help in many different ways.

Its also considered a good price, like buying anything, even if you can afford it, people won't buy it if its deemed too high.

When money is tight people will pick and choose games, lower prices clearly mean you could get to more games at said price.

Not everyone is a die hard pool fan, when a product is cheaper and more attractive you expect to sell more, its very simple. Its also more appealing to new fans.

Seriously ?
 
Fantastic initiative from the club I’d say plenty will be sold because of the pricing structure. I’ve heard quite a few saying they won’t pay £30 a ticket even though it’s only a fiver more than what it was in 2010/2011 era.
I think a few Luton will travel as I’ve got quite a few booked in the hotel for two nights.
 
Proof will be in the pudding so to speak first time to see if £30 is too much.
Increase home attendance massively for the game then we seriously need to think again about 30.
Small increase and then it doesn't really matter what you charge.

You are telling porkies, no cheap offer and we did not play Gillingham at home in 2005

Sorry it was actually Colchester United is 2004, but we thought the game finished 2-2 but Google says 1-1 and I’m sure their keeper was called dean gherkin. But anyway the fact is if there weren’t a cheap deal for that game my wife would never have gone.

Just to add the crowd for that Colchester game was 6,500…..was above our normal average gate for that season…..Colchester won’t have brought any fans so maybe there was a deal on after all

Its a simple principle that applies to all things that are sold, aka products.

Its still selling something, a ticket.

Not everyone can afford top whack week in week out. When its cheaper and money goes further people are more likely to go more regularly or bring someone with them.

Not sure why you're trying to debate this.

Doesn't matter how much 'pride' you have if you can't afford to go each week ar high prices or don't feel its value for money.

Casual fans need enticing, its how you grow thw fanbase.

Surely you want that, or should all non pool fans just wake up and be willing to shell out 30 quid each game from the off. 🙄

No problem, next time use your brain to understand that we come from one of the most underprivileged areas of the country, where the difference between 20 and 30 quid for a ticket matters to people, as it impacts their budget. Not everyone in the area is able to be in a privileged position, so saying "you're either a fan or you're not" with relation to buying a ticket is just absolutely brainless.

"If you arent a fan don’t go"

Wow.

🤦‍♂️ So none of us should ever have gone for the first time then.

I'm a ST holder btw so not for me.

The way to grow a club is to appeal to all types of fan, thankfully those in charge, despite charging high prices currently, see the benefit of making it affordable at least on these deal occasions.

You might turn some once in a while people into regular fans the more they go.

So you won't want any more fans than we get at the moment I take it. ...
 
If it's true that the £30 is putting a lot of people off then presumably we'll sell a lot more for Luton.

If we don't then it's likely to be something else.
