Season ticket sales.

[ravenrover]

It doesn't matter how many we think we should sell, there is only a certain amount of people who will buy a season ticket, in our case it's around the 4.5 to 5 thousand. Any more is an absolute bonus for the club

[Padge_DRFC]

Every effort should be made to sell the south stand out to ST holders. That way we can charge away fans what we want and make some money that way. I guarantee we'll be north of £30 at some league 1 teams next season

And encourage low away followings?  False economy..

That won't happen. If we were to raise the price for behind the goal, then you'd have to do it for the rest of the ground. You can't charge away fans more than our cheapest 'on the day' tickets, plus we'd disadvantage our own fans who for whatever reason, a season membership isn't an option. We still want to keep it affordable

We and other clubs have had issues with the EFL when we've unfairly advantaged home fans over away fans.

[Padge_DRFC]

Sell memberships for a tenner that gets you a fiver off every game.

[Lincoln Rover]

The club has it all in hand. Watch this space.

[Grimsby boy]

You should average 1-2k more just based on the away followings - what 10 teams + who could potentially bring 2-3k ? Envious of all the local games  you have , league 2 looks like league 2 /NL south next season .

I'm fully aware of that. So is that the full extent of the clubs marketing of season tickets?

Basically 1 article on the website saying, we've put the matchday prices up, so buy a season ticket....

Hardly trying to grow the fan base is it.

[IDM]

I’ve said this sort of thing before, but folks who have an affinity for Doncaster Rovers, but who don’t go often, can’t help but notice that we’ve just won the league.

If they’re half interested in getting a season ticket, it’s a couple of clicks online or a phone call to the TO.

Winning promotion is self marketing, isn’t it.?

Only to a certain extent.
The club really should be using all avenues to hammer the message home accross the city.

Now is a perfect opportunity, but they just don't do it.
It's bizarre.

[Lincoln Rover]

As of last night the % increase on the nearest corresponding date to last season stands at just over 42 %.Excellent effort so far.
DEADLINE 5 pm Wednesday for this phase of ST sales.
9 am the following day for price increase.

[keith79]

Wycombe massive overachievers

aren't they owned by a billionaire?

So everytime you access the website, the very first pop up is the Season Ticket Prices.

On the Facebook page, the sticky article always at the top, is the season ticket prices.

If you are remotely interested in Rovers, you can't fail to see reference to next seasons ticket prices.

What else do you mean by push?

I think he want's the players with bill boards walking the city streets....

[Spilsby Red]

There is always some that the club can’t do enough. The prices are fantastic. If people don’t want to buy then fair enough. Might be short of cash, live away and pick and choose the matches they want.
I have renewed but will not get to quite a few. The club have been great to me since my diagnosis. Say no more about how great our club is

[McCammon egg n chips]

A few people on here seem to be a bit snippy about the value of marketing. From someone who works in advertising for one of the biggest media brands on the planet - trust me - advertising and marketing work.

Yes, there is free marketing. Playing well puts bums on seats. We saw that at the end of the season. But it only goes so far.

It's completely fair to ask what marketing and promotion the club are doing to extract every single £ out of the potential fanbase ahead of the new season. We're riding the crest of a wave. There is no better time to market the shit out of the club - Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, local radio, out of home - get investing your money right now and you will see the return.

Sadly - and I may be wrong - I don't think the club have the professional knowhow to do this. Which is a shame. There's a reason brands advertise. It works.

It's not just the playing budget that needs investment to sustain the rise in our fortunes. Investing in proper marketing and advertising would see a real return. There's nothing wrong with pointing that out. It's not "the club can't do enough". It's an attitude that strives for more. And as fans, I think we all want to push on.

Nobody is saying marketing isn't important. Mr Soprano however doesn't seem to see or acknowledge the things the club do and assumes the club don't do enough. There's probably plenty we don't see either.

An ex boss used to says to me, Don't give me the problem, give me the solution.

There's Lincoln Rover and a host of other good people who give up their time to assist the club in many things, including marketing strategies. I was one of those who thought I could do better, so when I got involved, I was surprised to learn I knew alot less than what I assumed.

Yes, of course we should always strive to improve so put your suggestions in.

I used to work in advertising too.  Companies wanted brand awareness primarily to put them ahead of potential customers but also ahead of their competitors.

As a food shopper I might be influenced by advertising and marketing to choose one supermarket over another, one car brand over another, where to buy insurance etc.

But it’s different with football - I’m not going to go watch another club because their marketing is better than the one I already support..

The football markets itself IMHO - but I agree there is value in extra marketing when there are special offers available.

As someone has said, our sales compared to the same time last year are significantly better, so something is being done ok.?

[Janso]

No way of knowing of course but I wonder how many people have bought STs based on missing out on away tickets at times last season that would've gone to the home fixtures anyway.

That was a factor for me

It's not about persuading a barnsley fan to switch allegiances and support Rovers. It's about getting NEW fans through the turnstyles, the general Donny public, and to get the floating fans to buy season tickets.

[IDM]

And looking at the improved sales, they are, aren’t they?

These NEW fans? Who exactly might they be if they have shown no interest in Rovers for the past 20 years?

[Spilsby Red]

Does it matter if they are new this season or however many seasons. What a ridiculous comment.
My lads mate has been to a few games this season and now he has a season ticket. His main team is Liverpool but he really enjoys watching us.
