Quote: FIOS "Because they get to bring a friend along to the game who might not have been before who then might enjoy it and pay to come to more games, it's called a marketing ploy, to bring more through the gates you've gotta give a little. An idea some other clubs should maybe take note of instead of driving other fans away, like Hull FC seem to be doing.'"
as i say, i don't see how season ticket holders benefit from that, it's the non season ticket holders who get the free ticket, and if they pay for tickets in the future, it's the club that benefits. i'd quite happily take a £5 or £10 cut in price of my season ticket and not be eligible for a free ticket for someone else.
