This is a brilliant deal, but i believe the intrinsic values of handing over a £20 and a £10 will deter people. Yes, i know it is more money than the 3 for £20 offer but people associate numbers with whether to spend their cash or not. It is proven that anything with a 9 in feels larger than a 2 (yes it is) but someone will part with their cash more easily if it was £22 than they would if it was £19 (this is from empirical evidence). I don't think this will be a success, but a great effort.

2 for £20 would have gone down better i think with an option to queue jump for tickets when the Burnley game goes on sale.

If we offer 2 for £20 then away fans could buy into that deal just to go to their game. Then they wouldn't have to pay £30+ for a single.

This deal is clearly arranged to suit home fans.

It's also £10 for juniors and £20 for concessions. FOR 3 PREMIER LEAGUE GAMES!!!

It'll be a sad indictment of the apathy in Blackburn and the surrounding population if the Darwen End isn't full for these 3 fixtures.

When you take into account the unreserved seating, at these prices, the club can't do any more to respond to the needs of it's fans. AND NO OTHER CLUB DOES.

Apathy? You serious?

It's a bloody miracle we muster over 20000 home fans a game with our demographics.

Yes I'm serious. I disagree that we shouldn't expect over 20,000 fans per home game AT THE PRICES BEING OFFERED.

I'd like more, we can probably get more, but Blackburn is anything but 'Apathetic' it's just a small town with a sizeable community that on the whole has very little interest in Rovers.

should we be targeting more outlying areas? Definitely, that's the only answer if we want to keep increasing our gates.

Agree 100%.

We had around 22,000 Rovers fans in the ground for the first game against City, thats 18,500 ST holders plus 3,500 walk on's at full price.

It would be a disappointment if we couldn't better that with the Crucial 3 offer.

that's exactly what I'm saying SG, I hate seeing posts that call Blackburners 'Apathetic', the gates we get are superb, but we can't keep getting more and more fans out of Blackburn itself, well we can, but the day the Asian population get an interest in Rovers in any decent numbers are a long way off.

Hate all you like. I stand by my comment. There are enough people in and around Blackburn to fill the ground. We managed it at the end of last season.

I'm sick of reading posts where people whinge about the club not doing enough. Some people even moaning about 150 season tickets and 3 for 30 not being good enough.

The club can do no more in my eyes, it's now over to the fans to step up. We've done it before, we can do it again.

For the record Matty, I'm a Blackburner too.

Ahhh but there shouldnt be :lol:

I know lots of people that no longer go (not because they work saturdays & not because they dont like football) - just simply because they have stopped going over the last few years!

Not sure we have any fans left to buy any...they all seem to be stood on a railway line or looking over the edge of the stairs with a noose around thier necks!

Looking at the online plan - we have sold a few, although it still only looks like half of the bottom will be full with Rovers fans........

Is there anyone who has taken up this offer, but can't make the West Ham game this Saturday? I've got a friend staying for the weekend who wouldn't mind coming along, but won't pay £29 (he's not a rovers fan) and won't be around for the other 2 games.

If you can help out - or even if you can only make 1 of the other games and fancy going halves on the deal (£15 each is better than £29 per game) - let me know asap.

Cheers.

Don't be like that Hughsey, it's only a few numpties on here.

You know the crowd down Ewood on Saturday will be 100% behind them.

500 tickets snapped up for the 3 for £30 deal. Need at least another 1000-1500 to sell ideally.

Text message to be sent out soon I believe. Spread the word.............

I've just got a text from Rovers saying "Act fast, limited numbers" ... so they are either selling well, or just a bluff to try and stimulate interest and a buying rush?

See above buddy - hoping to make a few more realise the GREAT deal the club are offering and hook a few more in.
