That should be MAXIMUM price (JW Upper) for 23 games. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upside Down Posted September 30, 2024 Share Posted September 30, 2024 £20.53 per game. That's already above the price of what a match ticket should be. They really are as thick as pig shit. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted September 30, 2024 Share Posted September 30, 2024 £430 in the JWU for a three quarter season ticket. Yeah, sure they’ll fly out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAK Posted September 30, 2024 Share Posted September 30, 2024 Said this so many times about season tickets. Huddersfield a similar sized town to ours in every aspect. Made a massive decision in 16/17 dropped season tickets to £179, and they sold 15,500, which was up 40%, they also upped their match day sales by 35%, they also spent very similar to how we have this season, not crazy but sensible recruitment. They averaged over 20k and got promoted. I'm convinced that is what we have to do, to get fans back. We all know that though, waggot doesn't give a shit though. Also that buzz season's means they still get more season ticket holders than us, all these years later, in a lower division. Amazing what good marketing and pricing can do. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Forever Blue Posted September 30, 2024 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2024 Rudy Gestede is on record as saying he wishes there were more loyal fans buying season tickets. That’s the same Rudy Gestede who, whilst under contract, publicly stated his desire to leave the club. So show some fucking loyalty and spend some money, for Rudy. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like me, when I read the recent headlines from Phil Jones about how much he loves Rovers. After his departure ( which did have a bit of a whiff about it), he said it was the worst day of his life, when Rovers won at Old Trafford with Steve Kean! So forgive me if I can't get past the first sentence in the article about him... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gestede, Waggott, Pasha and all the other freeloaders want to set an example why don't they pay for their 'season tickets'? They will swan around the lounges and boardroom like royalty but not pay a penny for the privilege. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are utterly shameless. I pray for the day V’s and their hangers on fuck off. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Rover Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 We have a litany of badly thought out commercial deals but this one is up there, for people who pick and choose their games due to work, family, etc this is a terrible offer.

MarkBRFC Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 It's just pro rata'd down from the price of the phase 3 season ticket. Something they do every year, for none or next to none sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzed A Donis Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 They just don't get it do they, get them on sale early , set them at a max £350, make it cheap in the Riverside Sell 11-12k probably. If you were going to get a season ticket you'd do it 99% of the time when they are cheapest, not think oh well we're doing OK I'll get a 17 game one at a higher price than it was if I'd bought a full one on Phase 1. If they said Swansea and Sheffield United will be £10 adults and £1 children as we want as many fans as possible to be able to get to Ewood to help continue this great start , season ticket holders will recieve a rebate to reflect this which can be debited immediately or taken off the cost of next year's season ticket. We hope to see as many fans as possible who otherwise wouldn't be there taking advantage of our pricing inspired by 94/95. Fill as many as possible until end of November , then put out an enticing half season ticket offer. I am sure we'd get more in than the cost of extra few stewards and pies and long term feel good impact, seats at a tenner and young lad getting a shirt from club shop far outweighs this restrictive Waggot approach. Might even make me get my ST back after Waggot forced me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheelton Blue Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 The trouble now is that they've painted themselves into a corner - yet again - with their exhorbitant ST prices. What they could do now is offer an incentive to those buying match tickets for a reduction on next season's STs. Buy a match ticket, get £2 or so off next season's ST.

Mattyblue Posted October 3, 2024 Share Posted October 3, 2024 File it with that ‘raffle’ they promised if we hit 10k sales (narrator; surprisingly a raffle didn’t see a surge to 10k). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
because of boxing day Posted October 3, 2024 Share Posted October 3, 2024 Fair do’s to the Club on this one!! The Club appears to have kept to the script in this. I got a £26 partial refund of my senior Riverside ST cost in mid July. The Club emailed me confirming my random selection in the ballot. The refund pays for my Plymouth away seat on Saturday.

JHRover Posted October 3, 2024 Share Posted October 3, 2024 A quick read through the minutes of the recent fans forum meeting clearly demonstrates that the 'powers that be' haven't got a clue what they are doing on this subject. That they seemed to expect a surge in sales after their behaviour over the last few years tells us all we need to know. Totally and utterly out of touch and to be honest quite an insult that they think people will simply ignore all that and renew regardless just because they imposed a minimal price cut IF you bought quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
