Home fans might not live close but go Barton and Eccles for a pre match pint? Even the Unicorn, if they had tickets on match day and people purchased them at these locations it would help with the chaos that builds up ten minutes prior to kick off. This includes away fans, I have seen it mentioned a few time that they have been less than impressed, turning up to the north stand only to be told they have to go ticket office.

You'd just have ques at Barton airport and Eccles ARLFC aswel if your talking about match days, like i said what's the point in selling tickets so close to the stadium? You might as well walk up the road and get one from the stadium itself? I think the club are planning on these tickets being sold midweek leading upto games.

| Good idea I think. We want to be making it as easy as possible for people to buy tickets, and attracting new fans as well. Hopefully they get a few more ticket points set up. It might be an idea to have one at a supermarket in a given place and have a shuttle bus from there on the day of the match.

| It's a great idea, but need to be promoted or it will end up as another thing that was briefly tried but then stopped because it wasn't used (because nobody knows about it). If you failed to see the tweet or Facebook post, and merely looked on the official site the only info about ticket purchasing is how to buy online or over the phone from ticketline. No mention of stadium box office/reception opening times, and no mention of the Lowry.
Just so it's clear, it's not the Lowry theatre box office that they are on sale from, it's the Salford Tourist Information Centre, which is inside the Lowry building - left from the entrance towards the restaurant.

| Personally I think the club should be targeting the shopping centres - Trafford Centre, West One, Walkden, Stretford Mall etc. + offering free tickets to children and £2.50 each for their parents, just for a one-off fixture such as the Castleford match. I don't think anyone is likely to fork out £20 on a whim to watch a game they've never seen before.
I personally think the club needs to adopt a 'carrot and stick' approach to our new potential fanbase. Give them a reason to come back for more.

How would the "stick" element work? [i"If you don't come to more games we know where you live"[/i

| I like the idea of walkden shopping centre be interesting to see what the clubs thinks of as it salford area.
Forget manchester as a whole. But Walkden, Worlsey, Trafford, Irlam must all be areas that can be targetted.
Be nice if the high schools in these areas are playing rugby league.
When I went to school in that area we got forced to play union.

Most do play, but only tournaments once or twice a year unfortunately, there's a league or at least there use to be what a few schools from Salford were in but I'm not sure if it still exists.
Should we not be trying to sell them IN the trafford centre at least the day before match day and the match day itself for a few hours before kick off?

| When I was in School(2002-2007). Hope, All Hallows', Wentworth, St Pats, Walkden, Buile Hill, Walkden, Irlam, Albion and even Wright Robinson in Gorton all had rugby league teams, as far as I know this is still the same. We used to get cheap ticket opportunities through school, I'd suggest getting back into all the above schools and promoting the club/selling discounted tickets. It works.

Yes that would work but it'd have to be accompanied by an adult to get a discount something like 20% discount for the child and 10% for the adult willing to participate otherwise you'd get kids buying them cheap and selling them for profit or get a stadium full of out of control school kids, plus with an adult it's two people attending instead of one.

I'm not sure....when I was 15 is rather go the match with my mates and teammates than with my mum ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif) . Maybe the adult accompaniment rule should apply for kids under 12/13.

Nobody said you have to stand with your parents or go to the game with the just you have to have an adult with you to get the discount.
I remember free tickets when I was at school and kids used to screw them up and throw them away, or fill them in stand outside the willows and sell them to away fans kids for cheap. So lost revenue for the club. It should work like this, teacher tells assembly's or class's about tickets for the up and coming match available, tells the kids if you want a ticket take a sheet home for you and your parent to fill in noting how many tickets come back in the next day with the money and receive your ticket/tickets for the game. That's the only way it would work and the kids will appreciate tickets instead of seeing them as a cheap freebie they did when I was in school.
