Well those who log on here probably account for a minor % of the overall fanbase. Again through it's just about convenience, don't have to worry about getting them delivered in time, paying delivery charges or arranging to get them picked up.

But then many people haven't got time to go up and get them in the week. It just dissuades people from coming on match day.

Again it's just hypothetical, I'm not suggesting it will be done so the point about offering the 4000 ST holders half money back is irrelevant and not the point but I'll entertain you. Why would it not attract 17k? Sheffield Utd averaged 17.5k in this division, Charlton averaged 17k in league...

Forget about the kids go free thing, it's just one idea amongst many and not really the point. The point is that the club should be putting there full commitment and focus into getting people back in the stadium, and rebuilding the fanbase up to and beyond the previous levels. If that means...

That's a really impressive jump from Bradford. Sadly some on here aren't interested in increasing attendances they would rather the club just charge the highest price possible knowing the hardcore fans will pay it whatever.

We may have looked a league 2 team after January but the squad wasn't funded on a league 2 budget. Then what if we get promoted, struggle for a couple of years in the championship on 14k crowds until we drop back down to league 1? There has to be a better plan that that. Not that the idea...

I was up there earlier and it was ok, they had 3 people on tills serving season ticket holders. The longest part was actually sitting at the desk as I had 4 season tickets to purchase so had to wait for each one to go through. Nick had a great idea on another thread where they have a self...

I sort of agree, if he was proposing to call them the Hull Penguins and changing their kit to black and white then I could see the problem.

Hurrah, now scrap it permanently.

Good idea, there is so much more the club could do which they aren't doing. A bunch of Cov fans on the internet can come up with several really good ideas in a few days yet all the bigwigs in suits up at the club can think of nothing better than a 2 hour queuing system and an online system...

Renewed my season ticket earlier today, took about a 70 minutes from entering the shop to leaving.

Thing is they managed to pay their bills/rent and wages last season on 2k attendances, if it takes a short term loss in ticket revenue to build the fan trust and getting people coming back then they should do it. I feel freezing it from the 12/13 season is a bit of a poor effort by the club...

No but it's a fair point isn't it, if its such a chore to get tickets the casual fans aren't going to bother there arse are they. Only more reason the club has to do everything possible to encourage the fans to buy tickets, which at the moment they are doing the opposite, they are providing the...

Well no not really because we only averaged around 2k last year with 2k paying not 11k and they were able to fund last seasons squad on these attendances and were preparing to do the same this season.

You really think that would happen for a league game? Not unless they manage to give 20k away for free which wouldn't happen. Unless it's a cup fixture against a big team where the pricing structure would be different anyway.

Maybe so but our club has to be looking into every possible avenue to rebuild the fan base. As a great man once said 'leave no stone unturned'

I don't see a pie and pint really enticing new supporters to come and watch, it's more just a little bonus for those who would have came anyway.

Good points on the incentive to get people to buy season tickets. Family ticket deals are something that should also be done. How about a loyalty reward card like they do in supermarkets or coffee shops? Like attend 10 matches and then get a free ticket? Or for each ticket you buy you get...

We have regularly had 15,000 seats unoccupied for nothing over the last 9 years so what's the difference? That's potentially 15,000 future paying customers when they turn over the age of 12.
