£15 tickets for Bristol game

Here we go

[Filo]

I know, tin hats on eh?

[MrFrost]

Shit. I'm working. I don't believe it. You know I'm always up for a cheap ticket!

[Chris Black come back]

You can predict it already can't you.

Why do I bother with a season ticket then?
Why doesn't JR give me a refund on my season ticket?
Why do I have to queue up at the ticket office?
Why can't we have cash on turnstiles?
What was Sam Oji doing on the pitch against Arsenal?

Was someone doing an excel spread sheet with all the prices on so far to see the difference just wondered how this was going I sure you will be quids in by the end of the season

[Norfolk N Chance]

Unfortunately we are still going to get the numpties on this subject. Many won't be content until it's FOC, the club picks them up in a limo, provides free food and ale for the day etc etc........YAWN.

Wrong spelling Frostie, it's spelled F R E E!

[VikingJames]

The cost of my season ticket works out at £5.20 a game, so I'm not going to make a fuss over the value of my ST.

there was, and it was me Added the offer to the list this afternoon I'm also keeping one of all the yorkshire and surrounding area clubs head to heads if anybody is interested in that?

so far, based on the pricing of the first 5 games, tickets can be had at £27 x 3 games, £15 x 1 game and £19.50 for 2 tickets x 1 game, so assuming you had a mate to go halves for the palace game, you'd be looking at £105.75 up to present.

\"Bloody club\" What's the point of buying a season ticket!!?  etc etc.
 
Come on, you know you want to....


I noticed \"The diamond\" wasn't too impressed with th empty seats last night - he was moaning about it to someone near my seat last night. Kind of ironic, seeing as he's kind of in charge of whipping up public interest in coming to the spectacle that is a Rovers home game.....

As I watched him it occured to me that I've miss-named him as \"the diamond\", he's more like \"the drizzle\". It is in fact possible to be greyer and less charismatic than wet newspaper.

Funny that, if true. Didn't Diamond Dave say last year that he'd rather see the ground half full of people who had paid £28 to get in, than full of people who had paid £15 or similar? What a tool.

[i_ateallthepies]

He did indeed say that, or something close enough, I was there.  His logic is fair enough if you limit the scope of your calculations simply to the here and now, but every bit as important as maximising this week's income is building a fan base for the future, and Diamond Dave's approach seems entirely to disregard that.

Which based on the ST in the South stand as an example works out like this....

All prices obtained at the cheapest possible.

Matchday South: £105.75
Season Ticket Cat C: £44.35
Season Ticket Cat B: £52.17
Season Ticket Cat A: £60

For further comparison:
Season Ticket Cat B (Expensive): £57.39
Season Ticket Cat A (Expensive): £65.22

Case closed your honour.  2 conclusions there.

1. A season ticket no matter what the cost of it this year is much cheaper than a match by match purchase.

2. Matchday pricing for those who don't want a season ticket is too high.

Further messages - multi game tickets offer a further big discount on matchday prices.

This also hasn't taken into account £3 off the Tranmere ticket and the 10% club shop discount.

Another outstanding posting!

I'm confused about your calculations BFYP, are you trying to say that the season ticket prices are what those same tickets would have cost relatively? If so I'm even more confused.

A cat C season ticket, ie, a season ticket purchased for the south stand before the 25th of March would have been £340, working out at £14.78 per game, or £73.90 for the 5 matches. Where did you pull £44.35 from?

Basically, if a season ticket was bought at category A pricing, at the most expensive time (meaning now) for £500, that equates to £21.74 per match or £108.70 for the 5. Marginally over the running total so far, but obviously that doesn't take into account added fuel costs and/or charges for using a card for each game etc. Don't get me wrong, you are right that a season ticket is the most financially efficient option, I'm just baffled by your numbers.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Just as our own John Buckley commented before the game on Tuesday, the fluctuation in prices gets right up peoples noses.

A simple flat pricing structure was the way forward, is the way forward. It's consistent and you are less likely to get the peaks and troughs in attendances. Moreover, it provides a clear comparison to help you work out the savings on a season ticket. Thus it should be apparrant that it is a no brainer to purchase a season ticket.

Rovers have gone the same way as the utility companies, who the f*ck can work out what you are saving?

[eastender]

BFYP your calculations are misleading as they are not based on equal amount of games.

Matchday South: £105.75 = 5 games
Season Ticket Cat C: £44.35 = 3 games
Season Ticket Cat B: £52.17 = 3 games
Season Ticket Cat A: £60  = 3 games


Regarding the Bristol game , i wonder what the 700 or so people who have already purchased a ticket at the full price will have to say about the offer.

I can't see them being very happy unless there given a refund.:dry:

its about time the club brought in another category

Weather Cat

If its sunny on a matchday they charge the full price
If its drizzling(that stuff that soaks you) you get a 35.5% discount
If its just cloudy you get 2.8% discount
If its on Fish Friday everyone who attends gets a free fish finger

I am a Season Ticket holder. My gripe is not the reduction, but that they waited so long to announce it. The game's in a little over 48 hours! Surely this should have been done as soon as the Leeds game was drawn. They knew then that we'd be playing 5 home games in 2 and a half weeks. If people had known this earlier the crowd against Leeds may have been better as it takes the cost of 2 games in a week down to £35 from £47!

Whilst this is a moan, it's really just frustration wishing we'd think things through a little better!

Agree 100% there Maps. It does smell a little of \"hold on lads, I've got an idea\"
