jammie82uk Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 They haven't discounted it for STH because the rules of the competition stipulate that the club have to make up the difference for any discounted tickets sold. Therefore if they shift 10k ST seats (which is not even 2/3 of our total STHs) each with a £5 discount on they have to add £50k to make up the gross match receipts. Fair enough but why post on the benefits of having a season ticket that they guarantee that season tickets holders will get the best possible prices and then not do it That is what is annoying a lot of people all bein said tho I will be paying the money to go watch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose2010 Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 Think they could of sold it better even if they had gone £20 but you get a free pie and a pint i think they would sell more. People are willing to pay more if they think they are getting something for free. Basic Marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have made it clearer but I don't think that part's technically a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It clearly states that season ticket holders will get the best prices which they ain't if they are going to make it the same price for everyone then why even include that bit in the benefits of having a season ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same thing then yes, that is dodgy advertising(even if it is technically true). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilo Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 £10 a ticket maximum in the Kop, £15 a ticket in the middle of the West Stand for non ST holders. £8 and £12 respectively for ST holders. Even then we'd struggle to get 20,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmilner Posted 3 September 2013 Share Posted 3 September 2013 You do realise they would make more money from £8 & £12 due to about 10,000 more in attendance, plus the extra money took from merchandise sold, programs and food & drink.
