Actually I've already bought mine at full price, but I wouldn't mind seeing a ticket deal to increase the crowd and atmosphere. Now's the time for us fans to do our bit and fall in behind TM and the team....can't wait for Saturday!!

Have a season ticket and don't give a shit if they sell the ground out for £5 or give the bloody seats away this week to get people in. Maybe the Wasps owner could negotiate a cheap ticket deal and buy a load to give away so he can recoup on beer and food sales.

Yeah I never understand the line about not wanting to undercut season ticket holders. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the thought but I'd rather a decent attendance. I buy my season ticket for convenience so don't mind paying a little premium for that pleasure. But they can't do another deal can they thought we were only allowed 5 ? Which I never understand

They won't do a cheap deal 4 days before the game when they have already been selling them at the usual price. Administrative nightmare having to refund those that have already purchased.

Agreed, and it wouldn't lead to any significant increase in attendance in short notice as much as we've won 2 on the bounce and have a new manager, we're still in a relegation fight and still playing league one football.

It will be interesting to see what increase the kids for a quid game, if we keep this run up.

This wouldn't make economic sense. One discounts when nobody is buying. If the crowd is expected to increase anyway on the back of a couple of good results then why would anyone reduce revenue?

ok the could sell at full price but you get a free ticket for next game

It will be buy a ticket for the glorious Sky Blues and get a free one for the fifth rate game that the landlords play next so it can boost their sham attendances even more.

Isn't there a maximum number of offers they're allowed to make in a season? Some weird FL rule I think and we're already at the limit.

Although I might have just completely imagined that!

I think you may be right but who cares what rules the football league have they have proved before to be very easy to ignore. Also shows what the football league think of the fans just a big pile of cash.

Yep, the 11th (Colchester I think?) I've done my bit taking 4 extra kids and 2 adults so 9 of us going.

My problem with reducing tickets is we can't do it every game, so we'll not really be any better off. We'll reduce it one game, some more fans (not many - just look at the BOGOF offer last game and the attendance for that, bearing in mind most of the tickets would have been sold for the original Saturday fixture) will come, and then the next games that follow at full price we'll be back to our regulars.

I do want us to get more bums on seats, absolutely, but it can't always come just when the tickets are being reduced

they need to go bundesliga on our asses and offer 15 quid max tickets(stanmdard walk up) imo

people keep saying it wont work out, we wont fill ground etc. but its worth a try, if we near top of table next year with cheap tickets we could make that place a great place to be.

The Greman clubs have proven this model works and can deliver successful clubs playing good formal and winning the biggest trophies.

Given that the recent article said that there was only 300K difference between league one or two incomes SIS are hardly gambling with anything more than loose change given the 60+m losses they have reported.

CCFC should be flooding the market with Tickets in order to generate a buzz and demand tor them, going to live sport is a habit which many CFFC supporters have lost. get the atmosphere back with larger crowds it will help the team and then in turn will encourage more to attend.

I am sure there will be those that have already criticised other clubs for adopting this Subvented variable marketing is a strategy and devaluing the brand , but CCFC need to build demand not stagnate , be positive and lead a footballing revolution based upon support and filling the ground and looking at the supporters of tomorrow which are bing lost in their thousands.

The problem is you need all clubs to change. If we were the only ones who did it our ticket revenues would most likely drop, we've seen before that halving the cost doesn't double the crowd, while everyone else's remained stable putting us further behind.

Exactly, it is the whole fan owned things.

People bang on about it working for the Germans, but the whole of our league would need to do it so we would be on equal footings.

If you look into German clubs' finances, the big difference is the level of commercial sponsorship the German clubs get. English clubs rely on ticket money and TV money. German clubs mostly rely on local business sponsorship. Of course it's a lot easier when your local business is Audi or Adidas not Elliots Auto Accessories.

(It's also easier to find large multinationals with local spirit if you have a government that values locally owned business and doesn't try to sell everything off to the Chinese and the Yanks)

Not that we've not got any multinationals (albeit foreign owned) on our doorstep though? They tend to favour London rugby teams though unfortunately. We were sponsored by another locally based multinational for many years as well.

Valid post though tbf.

Couldn't agree more a top price of £15 would fill the place if they keep their current form going. If the Germans can do it why can't we?


Hmmmm, really? For how long would the form need to continue before that happened? I guess if we won every home game next season and then the first half of the following season in the Championship we may start to see sell-outs, but under that sort of form we'd also sell out at £25 as well so why reduce prices?
