2024/25 Season Tickets

[all you need is duff]

Ok another note: this loyalty points system has so far been useless for non season ticket holders. I’m on just over 100 points but every away game is 290 points followed by 240 points followed by general sale 

[Mattyblue]

Waste of time here as Burnley aside every away game will go to general sale.

I paid £225 for a full ST for 2012/13…

Is that the last time you had a ST Mike?

It was the last successive one. I also got one for the L1 season to try and be supportive of Mowbray and those players that chose to stay (which I believe was the highest that a Rovers ST should ever be, they cannot justify going over those prices regardless of the league we’re in):

They will try to justify the price rise in some way or another.

[Upside Down]

I'm just looking forward to seeing them jack the price up and more people telling them to get fucked.

The fact that they were genuinely bemused by the fact they had low sales after knocking £30* off shows how thick they are.

*It was actually £20 as there was a £10 penalty fee for people buying in store.

Ok thanks for the reply, 

I think for next season for BBE price for adults of £299 would be right price but I don't think we will see it. I expect a similar price or back to £379-399 price next season 

I don't like the phase thing and would prefer one price until the first game, but other incentivises to get us to buy early with discount of home shirt for example or get them on sale early in April.

They will justify through higher energy bills, cost of the running the club, etc, etc.

£249 for renewals £279 for newbies same as down the road at Bolton and North End.

[Lancaster Rover]

The Tom Finn and John Williams offer of 199 or 149 (or whatever it was) for a full ST or 16 game Darwen End ST is the benchmark prices like that i.e. 249 and 199 respectively and we'll have 20k on.

Yes they did but you had PL TV money would helped lower their prices so much. 

I would see a drop to £299 for BBE adult tickets next season but you will never see under these owners or possible new owners those prices. 

The half season tickets this season are OTT and I don't see many moving.

That's just the new 1875 member + ST holders, then ST holders, then general sale from previous seasons.

Who is benefiting from the extra cash (several million pounds) the club has got from the new media deal in exchange for all sorts of chaos to the fixtures and kick off times?

I don't think the fans have.

The team? Don't think so.

Looks like the owners. So the fans and team are mucked around by Sky and the extra money to soften the blow goes to make Venkys life easier. Tossers who haven't summoned up the interest or energy to visit a single game in over 10 years. Fans suffer, Venkys benefit.

I honestly wouldn't be as annoyed if I thought the money was going to improve the infrastructure of the club but as you allude to the money is helping to keep the lights on and save the Punekars from sending money over.

V L ltd saw a new allotment of £18.75 million in new shares on 14 October is that money getting passed on to the club if not where is it going?

That’s nonsense, the TV deal in that period was a fraction of what it is now, with clubs reliant on Matchday income rather than it being an addition to their main source of income in TV deals. It was at the time a brilliant piece of marketing, and at the time was seen as an innovative and highly successful pricing strategy. Rovers relative success during that period was built on regularly averaging gates of 23k and above, which was driven by the idea that bums on seats generate additional spend which outweighs the ticket reduction.

The new tv deals was £625 million pounds and reduced ticket prices revenue by £1m

Also a number 2 factors also were a Rovers chairman and board that understood the Fan base. Secondly we were very competitive in the PL, in UEFA cup and cup competitions.

They were the very best time to be Rovers fans. The 90's and 00's. Memories no one can ever take away. 

John Williams's son Simon Williams was the head of commercial and Marketing department. 

Rovers should be looking at bring Simon Williams back to the club or someone with similar experience and expertise. 

Also when we were sold, TV revenue was only going up and up especially overseas TV revenue 

[Lancaster Rover]

The article doesn’t say that, it says Williams reduced ticket prices which saved fans across the board £1 million. A million that was recouped and then some with the record ticket sales and ancillary spend across the footprint of the game. It was a calculated cost/benefit decision by the board to stop crowds reducing in the face of a new tv deal that increased the amount of games on tv. 
 

also, try not to condescend to me the success in the 90’s and 00’s, I was there, home and away

It's a joke, we should be giving tickets away, we don't have thousands of fans who can't get a ticket (thousands who can't afford it though).

Just a anti-supporter money making scheme designed to scare a few fans into buying more tickets and memberships.

What marketing guru was the bright spark behind that at a ground with 18 thousand empty seats and a good but not over subscribed away support.

The Sky money is enabling them to send very little over so my point stands about the TV money being used to keep the club going rather than any improvements in or off the field.

From my experience using it, it literally only counts for upgrades. It won't let me assign my adult ticket to another adult on my network. It feels like a way to encourage all the adult season tickets paying for concessions to quietly upgrade....

Has anyone else had joy allocating their adult ticket? I live in Ireland so would be handy to occasionally assign to my brother.
