Recent games and last night in particular showed that there is still the support out there, even with the club in the position it is now.
We're going to go down, I don't think we can believe otherwise. So what do the club do? Stick with current or very similar pricing structure and in all reality lose number off the ST holders and less match by match purchases. Or lower prices to try and entice more people through the gates each game.
Obviously there is a sweet spot for the club from a financial perspective, but for me it goes beyond that. Attendances like last night will work in our favour in L1. If we can get it right on the pitch it will be a positive place for our players to play, create that momentum that PL has spoken about. If we end up with gates under 12k it will feel quite soulless and be an easier place to play for opposition teams.
Hope the club are giving this some serious thought and not just being flippant about it. |  | | |  |

Last night, there were not 18,000 there - the Club counts STs whether they attend or not.
The reality is that a smaller number of regular core supporters will always make more noise and atmosphere than having a further 3k or 4k transient supporters or kids.
If Town want to sort attendances, they need to win a few games and start chasing for promotion - until that happens, reducing tickets prices has little to no long term impact on supporter attendance. |  |

Don’t entirely agree.... Keep generating the feel good factor in the face of relegation, lower the prices and make the reduction about the fans, reward for loyalty or whatever spin needs to be put on it. Lambert knows the fans are key and expect he’ll be telling ME what he wants to see in terms of numbers through the gates as he knows how that can galvanise the team. Up to ME and the ticketing lot to find the balance then I guess. | | | |

If they reduce ST prices by £100 across the board, the club's income goes down by over £1m. That's a big hit, especially combined with the loss of TV and League money. |  |

Sell a 2-yr season ticket for 1.5 x times the cost of a single season?
If we go up, we have more TV cash anyway. |  |

Much of that £1 million could be offset by Adayemi + Huws wages
The only thing that's going to get this club moving in the right direction is positivity and atmosphere amongst the crowd. So far, it's been working well. It will eventually be reflected in performances. | |

My personal opinion as a ST and the ST next to me is unless the ST price is very cheap say £200 its not worth having considering the distance we travel to home games (260miles each way). It would be cheaper for us to share a season ticket or just pick and choose games. Also several away games in the south west. Surely Huddersfield set the model for attracting fans by using TV money to lower ST prices and get fans in fill the ground with fans buying food drinks programs and merchandise and staying for the long term. |  | | |

Obviously season tickets have to come down, but not slashed as the club will need the finances.
How about offering S/T holders the offer that if they came back straight away prices would be halved in the Championship |  | | |

They told us that about getting promoted to the premiership and that worked out well. Slash prices more fans recoup revenue with sales of extras shirts pies programs etc. Better atmosphere | | | |

derby had a big following, areas of grond very busy, id say there was very likely to be 17500-18000 there [Post edited 14 Feb 2019 11:59]

I just think people are all mouth "if MM goes i'll go again"..... whilst attendances have gone up they've not rocketed.
slash them too low and we risk the same number of fans buying them (that would buy the even if price was frozen) and we make a loss.
the "buy this season and get 50% off the next if promoted" is a good way to go IMHO.
however this is evans, I can see them going up by about 35p a month and this place and our tight arse fans crying themelves to sleep. | |

Very basic scenario here. Drop everything by 15%.
Last set of accounts show £5m ticket sales. 15% lower is a drop of £750,000.00
My season ticket would drop to £430.00 for upper tier. Lower tier to £330.00 roughly speaking.
Lower tier on day tickets £21.00 and upper £25.00. (Adult prices here).
Decent value? Possibly.
Also, personally, I think kids are too cheap. Small increase needed? | |
