PATRIQTClyde1998NathStPaul Would like us to heavily reduce the costs for midweek games, we have to get people in through the gate. It has been awful for a few seasons now, even when we have been doing relatively well.
I’ve thought for a while the club should sell weekend season tickets (ie. season tickets only for games played on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays), especially for the younger age groups. This would minimise the number of seats ‘sold but vacant’ during midweek and perhaps encourage more people who can’t get to midweek games due to work commitments to be ‘locked in’ for the season.
The club could do offers with local businesses (eg. those in Green Park) for reduced price tickets to increase attendances during midweek.
I think the club need to have a little more imagination when it comes to midweek tickets to encourage higher crowds.
More free tickets to schools and on a more regular basis always helps boost crowds, and those kids are our future fanbase.
Maybe some bulk ticket deals. Buy 3 tickets and get a 4th half price. Buy 5 tickets and get a 6th free. A family ticket for 2 adults, 2 kids/2 pensioners for a reduced price...
We should definitely look to incentivise ticket sales.
If you do that, away fans cry over "preferential pricing", so these sorts of "local promotions" as they've called are only allowed three times a season I think. (I'm a bit out of date with the rules, but it certainly used to be like that a few years ago.)
