Season tickets 2022/23

[arbitro]

Could it be conceivable this season that Preston and Burnley will have sold more season tickets than what our average attendance will be?

A ST is £17.35 per game allegedly.

So £20 in no way compromises that ?

Not in the JWU, so it would literally be cheaper to buy tickets each week.

Totally wicked are subsidising it,

Its a great idea

So even the club sponsors can see that the season tickets are stupidly overpriced.

So buy tickets each week if saving money is your motivator. If you want to guarantee the same seat every week, buy a season ticket.

[Mattyblue]

Whatever floats your boat, I’m just explaining how the club would justify not pricing tickets at £20 each week.

When I had a ST, I literally never sat in the seat on the card. Usually I would move at HT as well. Same on the odd occasion I have bought a match ticket since. Same when I go away.

Couldn't think of anything worse than seeing the same faces and listening to the same opinions week after week.

But most people do.

Could be a few take up totally wicked's employee offer. All employees will get £100 off season ticket funded by Totally wicked, and also big discount on replica kits - 2 per household 

Daughter in law works there, I wonder if it extends to family?

If it extends to friends and family, can I become a friend, please.

Is there a draw this season if we pass 10,000 sales ?

Those who sit in the JWU choose to pay more and sit there vs paying lower prices.

Are you suggesting JWU ST holders would be against match day tickets being £20 and prefer the ground to be 2/3 empty ?

Galling and very conceivable.

Even in the Riverside it works out at £17/£18 a game, so no chance the club are going to offer £20 match tickets each week, especially when a good number of games will have a load of away fans to fleece.

It is also conceivable, that we will have better away followings, than those teams that where mentioned, that have sold more season tickets than us.

At this rate it'll reach 8000 about the end of the season! Well done Waggot!

Why he didn't abolish that stupid £30 increase for new ST holders only that fool knows. 

He had a great opportunity here and he's messed up yet again.

"Exeptionional offer"

Wish he'd retire 😪 

[matt83]

Its too late now to scrap the price structure and start again but I was thinking even though they keep extending the punishment deadline, sorry loyalty deadline, it probably comes down to foolish pride and not admitting they cocked it up yet again to have persevered with some of the most expensive tickets in the division.

So I was thinking about how they can wriggle out of this latest pricing cock up without doling out refunds. Perhaps they could say buy a season ticket this season as these prices then the renewal price will be fixed at £250 next season. Might encourage a few to commit this season knowing will be cheaper next, not that it helps those who actually can’t afford one at the current prices. 

[Mattyblue]

Last summer saw us sell 6,995 STs at £399 to £500, and they kept prices the same for this summer (and increased by £30 for non existing ST holders), we will probably sell c8.5k this time, so an undoubted success in Waggott World, so from his perspective, not ours, why would he reduce?

Where to start with this. 

The lack of autonomy is frightening. Having to get permission from Venky’s to extend the “loyalty” period?!?!
