| I'd echo whats been said earlier.
Great they've carried over the price to deduct two games for ST renewals, but that forgets the 4-6k lapsed ST Holders (above last years 4k covid levels) you would think they would want to entice back.
Full price for an adult is £347 on the sidelines - meaning you're looking at 26.69 per game (/13)!  Where's the benefit of buying a ST and committing to all games up front for a 31p - £2 saving per game max?!
Even the early bird at £290 is not particularly enticing....Around £22.50 per game, giving you around £6 saving per game. So you're realistically getting just over 2 games free....Miss that with your holidays or game date changes (as most realistically would), theres literally no benefit in getting a ST.
I know latics are generally more desperate for fans, but compare that to a latics ST, which were sold at the rate of approx £10-11 per game.
I applaud them knocking off two games for renewals, but if they were looking at getting ST back up to previous levels the gap between existing (who would probably renew anyway) and new fans is far too much. £230 renewal price should have really been the offer to all new ST purchases before the end of January which would have possibly got us back up to 8k as there'd have been a meaningful incentive to renew.
Big opportunity missed IMO and i would be surprised to see us with more than 5k ST next year & latics style 8k gates, which is going to be pretty crippling for the club.

I agree about the "Full" price
But they are as cheap or cheaper in most areas compared to Saints/Wire and agree "New" prices who don't do the early bird are a bit steep, but no steeper than anyone else's who will have had the same issues. And once on the auto renewal or renewal packages it becomes very cheap imo
As for the Laticd analogy, yes 299 for sidelines on their renewal/early bird package is good and I'm guessing around 13 a game. But after that 369.
But ours at 195 for 15 a game is very good, renewal at 230 17.50 is good. As you say, jumping on the initial new bandwagon at a non early bird price is were it gets steep (but I'd bet they'll sell very few of them as most people will go early one way or another).
Latics junior prices are good, but they as well jump outside the early bird period
And I think our junior prices are better AND go up to 24 as mentioned previously
But
I'm guessing not everyone thinks so

No I was just intrigued at your presentation as the club don’t seem to have put the same effort into their promotion.

It wasn't a presentation
And I'm not sure the club would be right to show comparison prices of other clubs.
I just did some research on what other clubs charge etc and compared them to ours before commenting
My post was basically showing my working out and the reasoning behind my thoughts
Maybe what I should have done is basically just said the prices are rubbish without putting any thought or logic to my statement? Doesn't appear you get questioned if you do that?

You are indeed correct, but like I have said, will they remain as low in 2023, especially if the club returns to winning ways next season,which is
all about getting the confidence of supporters back, especially with it being the 150th Anniversity of the club next season.
I wish the club all the best in their efforts to make it a triple trophy winning 2022 season!

No, just a loyal supporter of his mentor IL and doing his bit to sell season tickets for the club.

We get that you and the other approx 4k are getting a great renewal price, but the question is really how the club entice the 4-6000 lapsed season ticket holders back. I respectfully suggest saying "we're cheaper than St Helens/Warrington" wont cut the mustard, nor will "part with £300 to see more dull rugby played by inferior quality players, even though they are local lads" work either.
We are 150 years old in 2022 and hoped to see that figure used somewhere in the marketing. I would have thought selling the south stand ones at £150 with full payment up front may have generated more sales.

| This is a really difficult conversation and probably indicative of where RL is at as a sport. As the old saying goes - if you win business on price, you'll eventually lose it on price.
The figures banded around (for all clubs) are cheap. If they are good value is subjective to the individual. I'm somewhere in the middle i.e it's a great price for a hour or two out, but I probably wouldn't pay £5 to watch some of the 'stars' being showcased in SL.
That being said, for what is the top tier of RL in the country, tickets should be a lot more expensive & season tickets should reflect that too. You can't win however. If tickets started at £28 for adults, you'll get people saying it's too expensive. By a way of a quick comparison, that's what I think tickets start at for Sale.
Ultimately and like I said in the opening line - if you price yourself as cheap, then that's how you'll be seen.
