Season tickets next season - what will they do?

[aj2k77]

So our big push to fill the place out and "roar them on to promotion" is to charge the same price for an inferior product and close parts of the ground? Fucking brilliant.

There's no push for anything.

You can bet your bottom dollar they'll be twiddling their thumbs over a manager for a while yet. There's no board, they won't be replaced because cock face had a reality check when he realised what having a board entails.

Will we have scouted anyone properly these last few months? Who knows, we certainly didn't last season.

Look at what lesser clubs are doing. Look at the list of imaginative ways to use pricing to get back a relationship with a disenfranchised support by AVST. It's a bit cheaper per game.

Buy now and we won't put the price up for you next year. Good luck selling that shit if we are in Division 3.

They had a chance here to price dirt cheap for youngsters to encourage a new generation of support. They have failed miserably.

[aj2k77]

It's not just about looking at what other clubs in that shit hole division are charging.

It's about a fan base that are completely disenfranchised and feel like they have no hope. Would it have hurt to have sat down and really talked through what deals could be conjured up? Almost an olive branch to the long suffering renewers. A tempter for the young lads who have gotten bored with it all. The kids who see us with about as often as they have a Birthday.

Zero entertainment on the pitch, zero ambition off of it. Zero brains behind the scenes.

Shit again from these no marks.

it shouldnt be that difficult to work out. more matchday revenue and a fuller ground and better atmosphere

It doesn't work like that and never has. Price is one of the smallest factors in gates.

I'd have preferred them to come up with better incentives, I really wanted to see us trying to fill the place to help us go straight back up.
But at the same time, if you buy the cheapest ST it's £14 a game. Which is probably less than it will be to watch Kiddy in the Conference North/South next season.

I'm gonna buy my 2-3 in k7 then move across into the best seats that aren't occupied

Not necessarily true. As I've mentioned in earlier posts Huddersfield have cut their prices to £179 and have big concessions for kids, sales have doubled from 6000 to 12000. That means about 10% of the population of Huddersfield are season ticket holders. Translate that to the population of Birmingham! (I know that wouldn't happen, but there is potential there).

so having a 250 quid max price and 50 quid for kids wouldnt lead to a big increase in st holders and guarante we have a decent future support?

price isnt a factor for me but it is to a lot of people

the fan who wants to sit in the holte but cant afford 500 quid but could get a st for him and his 2 kids for 350 and do interest free payments job done

[class-of-82]

Exactly

[DaveD]

You'd get more, but not double, so you'd generate less money.

Plotting these price/demand revenue curves isnt all that hard and I doubt even Villa are so crap that they don't have that data.

I cringed when i read that bit about Wolves and blues. That's embarrassing.

[PeterWithesShin]

What pisses me off more is the Villa Cash. From 10% to 5% this season, down to 3% next. That's a sneaky little rise they keep doing while banging on prices are frozen/reduced.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

we have already missed the boat for heavily discounting season tickets. the time we should have done it was when we had maximum sky money and st revenue was 13 million against a turnover of 116 million

[cheltenhamlion]

They have missed a trick on rewarding the long term idiots amongst us though. Give them the coming season at a decent reduction and they are all back next year.

Promise to make it cheaper in future years for loyalty, more will renew at that time.

Buy now, at a similar price, and we promise not to charge more next year (potentially in Division 3)? Get to fuck.

And even then they probably wouldn't have done so well on the back of a season like we're enduring.
