Quote: Khlav Kalash "As Vasty says there is no player with our budget who is available who has a 'must purchase a season ticket' aura about them, I don't think there are that many in the game. I guess keeping Tanginoa, Johnstone and at Fifita could've held some sway. Regardless there will be no one waiting for a player to convince them to but a ST. They either will or they will not based on their own circumstances.'"
Correct.
There are only three ways to increase season tickets imho. So here they are in order of effectiveness.
1: Start winning things on a consistent basis or at the very least compete.
2: Make BV an acceptable venue to a wider spectrum of people.
3: Heavily incentivise season tickets, but not discount!! . How you do this without devaluing the product and losing money I’m not sure. However if you get 1 & 2 sorted there may be some limited scope.
If we did all the above we might increase sales to around the 3000 adults mark, which imho would be pretty good. Sales like that give us approx 750k, you can do some damage with that even if it doesn’t put us in the same bracket as Leeds.
No player I can think of would get anywhere near that.
For us to realistically compete we need an average of 4-5,000 trinity fans per match. SO by my reckoning with 3k season ticket holders and anything between 1-2k casuals per match depending on the opposition and an average 1k away fans a game excluding the two derbies that would give and average gate of 5-6k, Dream time for MC.
The two derbies could pull near the 8-9k mark depending on the state of play in the league, those two games are your profit makers.
All the above of course is just theory.
