Corporate Season tickets/Executive boxes (3 Viewers)

I shan’t be shedding too many tears that a few well off folk will have to dig into their pockets a bit more let’s put it that way

shows how they stay so well off as they are quite clearly whinging bastards

Pretty irrelevant really as most put it through a business and claim the VAT back.

It’s a big rise but then would tend to agree that corporate should take the brunt of price hikes.

A lot of these sorts of memberships are used for tax purposes too.

Doug seems to be trying to sort the commercial side of the business but the communication has been poor.

Prices should have been announced all at the same time so people can make an informed choice but we’ve had the debarkle with the premier packages and family zone too.

 

[ccfctommy]

Been sceptical of Doug - but you can’t say he’s not improving the commercial side of the club

Is he?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Is he?

Pricing for the corporate side of the club and communication appears to be a lot better. People are pissed off at the price but it’s in line with the rest of the league.

he’s looking to increase the revenue from the business side. Shows how tinpot SISU were running us.

of course as a fan - I would hope this manifests in the transfer market, If we’re finally acting like a top end championship side we need to do it in all areas of the club

If every box gets filled and every matchday it’s sold out in corporate then great but I somehow can’t see it.

While I don't disagree with bringing it in line and it was too cheap.

Communication about all of the ticketing has been a shambles. Especially when he wanted to make the "journey" all about him with that cringeworthy video.

The boxes definitely will, huge waiting list of businesses. Legends probably will too as only around 250 seats. Club Coventry didn't sell out last season and will probably be slightly lower this season due to the increase in price. Apart from a better seat position, there is no difference to Legends.

 

[ccfcricoh]

suppose its easy to say as it doesn't impact me but i think its priced right.

My daughters ticket went from £25 to £165, why the hell shouldn't the "corporates" pay their way as well?

As others have said, its £90pp per game, when a matchday ticket in cattle class is £35, that's not bad value at all for the extra benefits you get.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Think we’ve got it bad - Bristol City was £52k + VAT although you got to watch….

13 games of rugby aswell

 

[Evo1883]

Last season they were paying the same as a Cat A game basically

 

[David O'Day]

Gone down well then

he's upset as the club no longer gives him the time of day

Aah but that was to the peasants, my friend had a box and he’s been sent loads of details and requests to “ask for information” about a box - the corporate comms seem better

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

you pay for what you get. as I’ve said. The majority of boxes are hotel rooms. You don’t get any VIP treatment. No free bar, very little in food. If you offer VIP package you expect VIP treatment

Pendant in my head is poking me with a large stick saying "Tell him it's 'You get what you pay for.'"

 

[Ccfc1979]

I am / was in the Legends and I get that a price increase is inevitable but first of all, why so late in the day with far less choice of you need to move! And second, my Dad and Uncle have had a season ticket for the majority of their lives and have been going up 60 odd years, including Brum. Now they find out last minute that the seat they love has gone up from £480 to £825 with nothing added to the package. Car park on top of that too as there are three of us and the car park is free for four. The bar service and food isnt any good either for a ‘corporate’ area. Just does smack of no loyalty to some and no help by communicating it properly or all at the same time. No finance either to soften the blow for a season maybe.

 

[Joy Division]

Nah he's in the know of course, unlike anyone else

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I like that people are asking whether DK got SISU out… the irony being that SISU kept these prices initially

 

[GIMOC]

you’ll be surprised. There won’t be the uptake you think. mark my words

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Nah he's in the know of course, unlike anyone else

He’s so embarrassing. Absolutely desperate to be the big I am.

 

[GIMOC]

I’ve spoken to 3 various fans all of whom own companies who have had boxes for years. All not renewing. The corporate experience is not worth the price hike. as I’ve mentioned. They are hotel rooms. Not luxurious and certainly not worth the price.

So they will come into the stands then .. great

Is 35 quid for corporate per person fair , when dave in block 22 is paying the same for a cat a for example ?

VAT for entertaining isn’t reclaimable and entertaining itself isn’t tax deductible.

 

[wingy]

Only cos they had to?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Funny how many on here are advocates of the game as something to sell to corporate interests

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Whilst I can understand people saying it's better commercially etc. If it prices people out of a box who were there last year, that is unfortunate, but more to the point, they've all been screwed out of the PL package and now have a much smaller scope of seats to choose from. It really isn't on.

Yeah that's a very fair point.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Only cos they had to?

No they didn’t?

 

[wingy]

No they didn’t?

I see your point.

 

[GIMOC]

Many on here don’t get it. Corporate experience is shocking. it’s certainly not worth £100 a game. many are not renewing and you’ll be lucky to sell out every box with new clients.

 

[Nick]

Be interesting to know how much the cost price has gone up to the club with the new deal with Frasers too.

 

[Evo1883]

Free drink and food voucher too , don't forget

 

[wingy]

Things are changing and it's never to be the same whoever you may be,involves pain.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Yeah, I wondered how many will they have to sell to match last season's total take from those areas?

Guess if boxes don't sell out, then they need less staff to service them?!?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I see your point.

Didn’t think I would need to expand on it. SISU controlled the prices - could have easily brought it in line with the rest of the league.

whether we sell out remains to be seen - but it sounds as though we’ve been selling ourselves short for years. Might explain the lack of transfer activity.

I’m ok with the price rises in all facets - we’re acting like we belong with the West Brom’s, Sunderland’s, Middlesbroughs, Blackburns, what needs to be done is acting like these in all areas - that includes the transfer market. You will attract the businesses if you give them an entertaining product

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Also guess whoever complained about dress code in those areas might not have a problem going forward, if the plebs are priced out
