Quote: Call Me God "My mate Manages PJ's in the CBD.....he received 50 free tickets for the Toulouse game from a supplier, Mill Street Brewery.......he receives these tickets on a regular basis and has even arranged for a post match meal for a group of 30 he gave tickets to last season.....I believe Lost Craft donated those tickets.....he reckons that the Wolfpack concept has another 18 months i it before the novelty wears off......free tickets are only a good idea if the freebies become paying punters and the Wolfpack apparently have fewer than 1,500 paying punters per game.....and some of those resent the freebies and have stopped going.
He reckons the Irish Embassy on the route to Hamilton Hamilton (same group who owns his bar) ran some free coaches last year with free tickets...all paid for by suppliers....free is great, but once bills need to be paid, then "paid" is better and next year, Argyle will need to pay SL wages.......'"
Your mate the pub manager is doing more reckoning than Radiohead. Your mate also has a crystal ball that tells him how long the Wolfpack concept will last ... and has deep knowledge of Wolfpack ticket receipts ... wow. Impressive. We should hook him up with Argyle.
I don't doubt your info and would not be surprised that some of the craft beer guys would get (or give out) tickets, they are also trying to attract customers. Lost Craft is a regular at the beer garden - but Mill Street isn't as they sold out to Anheuser-Busch and they'd have no stake or interest in promoting the Wolfpack, quite the opposite in fact.
As a season ticket holder, I get a few free tickets during the year and use them to invite friends. Several have become sufficiently hooked and are buying seasons tickets for next year. The people I meet at games have similar stories of successful conversions from beer-slurping newbies to emerging rugby fans who buy their own tickets. It's a successful business strategy, despite the relentless negativity of some on this forum.
I don't know why you feel the need to be so concerned for David Argyle's finances. He's a big boy and he knows what's ahead.
HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
