If you have kids then you sign them up to jsbs and get free tickets all season. You also then get vouchers for family tickets of 2 adults 2 kids for 22.
There are ways to do it.
If you have kids then you sign them up to jsbs and get free tickets all season. You also then get vouchers for family tickets of 2 adults 2 kids for 22.If you are on minimum wage, you would have to work half a shift after tax etc to afford a ticket.
Imagine having to take a couple of kids aswell, could cost you a whole days pay to watch not very good football in an empty stadium against teams that bring maybe 400 fans if your lucky.
The atmosphere is dire the catering is poor is it worth a days pay?
Shame because without adults taking their children to games it is going to cost us in the long run.
It is just short sightedness looking at what you can squeeze out of people today.........
Maybe they don't care about the future?
There are 6 - 7000 idiots like us who will pay regardless but not every one is of that mindset.
the price issue has a small relevance the main problem as we all know is the owners and even with promotion that wont change
Give it time, people will soon jump on the bandwagon if there's a sniff of promotion.
Trouble is, they have sold season tickets based on the saving made on match tickets, if they start discounting too much, too often, then they have all the season ticket customers moaning too.
I agree 20 quid a ticket on this league is plenty, but I'm also not sure that dropping to this amount will make much difference to the casual fan , or those that have decided to stay away this season... more to do with owners & the league we have dropped to, as opposed to the extra few quid on a ticket
A good test would be 1 match , adults a tenner & kids for a quid... lets see how much the attendance increases! I paid for a season ticket but if that works then I'd still rather see that used more often & a better capacity.
Unfortunately it wouldn't. More people would go increasing the crowd slightly but again because of the owners people will still stay away.Let's drop the price for the forest green game to £15 and see how many more we get. That would kill the debate for good.
And who would be responsible if that was to happen in January?Again, I'm a season ticket holder and wouldn't care about a drop in price to encourage people in BUT that drop has to be matched by an increase in numbers, if we're dropping prices and people stay away that reduces Robins' budget and means players will have to be sold/no more brought in in January and that is unacceptable.

For some yes and for others no. I'd say that at the minute it is as only 7000 are attending.So price isn't as issue.
Would probably need to sell an extra 1000+ tickets @ £15 for Forest Green just to break even, in all likelihood we would be lucky to sell an extra 100. Just becomes a race to the bottom.Again, I'm a season ticket holder and wouldn't care about a drop in price to encourage people in BUT that drop has to be matched by an increase in numbers, if we're dropping prices and people stay away that reduces Robins' budget and means players will have to be sold/no more brought in in January and that is unacceptable.

Wrong game to pick, Tuesday night is a work/school night for many with the lure of the champions league on the box.
The following Saturday is the start of half term week where many people with kids will go away, the game to target would be a possible season definer, Mansfield on November 11th.
The debate will never end though until either the owners or a substantial climb up the football league divisional ladder occurs, the damage the owners have/continue to do and the snobbery of people not wanting to watch lower league football (unless there is a trip to Wembley) does not help things.
Would have thought Mansfield was exactly the wrong game to target. They are riding high and are likely to bring aWrong game to pick, Tuesday night is a work/school night for many with the lure of the champions league on the box.

1 game wouldnt show anything. Would need to be aprolonged drop yo see word of mouth spreas ans temptation etc
If tickets were 15 quid and we didnt add 2k more to attendence after 5 games or so i would be surprissd
I was talking to hill83 at work yesterday about how pricey it is
It's about what people consider reasonable not what other clubs are doing.£15 isn't realistic - Nuneaton charge that for part time football.
We are only 2 leagues away now aint we?£15 isn't realistic - Nuneaton charge that for part time football.
We had our league cup game discounted, it made no differenceMy mate told me that Leicester recently priced their League Cup game against Liverpool at £12 and sold out !

Not really, its a bit different watching Nunny with another 600 to attending a full house cup game and paying even less.You have just contradicted yourself within a couple of posts?
Leicester had the numbers even in league 2
Blackburn was free for season ticket holders in the league cup and discounted.
I thought it didn't matter about other clubs?
Not to 12 pounds tbf. And our game was a round earlier tooWe had our league cup game discounted, it made no difference
How much were they?Not to 12 pounds tbf. And our game was a round earlier too
They have a billionaire owner and pick up hundreds of millions from the premier league and we lowered our cup tickets for chedkatrade last year. Not sure what your point is really in this, completely different situations.Date & Ticket Prices For Leeds Cup Tie Confirmed
