Quote: TRB "But you don't have to pay £20 adam. Just buy the next games ticket when you come to each game - then it's still £18.00
But it's £2 for every game, so it adds up.

Well if I was to buy them from the shop it would end up costing me more icon_lol.gif

Although saying that I always say "I might not go" Then true enough I am always there. Talk about been hooked.

I think £20 is a lot of money,think we were paying £3 in '85,the gate prices have gone up 7x,my wages certainly haven't gone up 7x.I believe rugby is pricing itself out.
We never sed to miss an away game but now only do 3 a season,£20 in,a couple of beers,petrol money,a programme nd a bite to eat,not much change from£40,multiply that for a couple or even a family of 4!
The price is one of the reasons we can't attract the "armchair" viewers,watch it in my local and you can have 8 pints for the cost of gate money.
I really think Ted and the Wakey board have to think carefully about this.
HKR £18,gate 6,400.
Celtic (admittedly with diversity)£10,8,000 crowd.Makes you think doesn't it?

I agree with TRB's post. The initial thought is that of shock, but if you think about what the club are doing it's quite intelligent. They're trying to get people hooked on either season tickets or pre purchasing a ticket at a discounted price.

The ST therefore is very beneficial and saves plenty of cash even if some gates are to be discounted (Celtic, Quins etc). It will encourage away fans to order their ticket prior to the game and stop most from deciding on the day to give it a miss and may even increase the away following.

On the surface of it, the price looks like a raw deal because most fans like to pay on the day but we need increase ST holders and pre match ticket sales which this should do!

What we need is a 'limited' type season ticket.

There are a lot of people who don't buy a ST because of shift patterns, hols etc. If we could sell a discount 10 match ticket for instance that can be used at the games of your choice over the season I am sure it would get a good response.

But.... you could lose ST sales - so it would be self-defeating! icon_sad.gif

Or a half season ticket that you can use for any 6 or 7 matches during the season.The club get the money in advance and the fan gets a flexible cheaper option..

Quote: TRB "It is an encouragement to those who may think about buying a season ticket.

To increase the value in the season ticket you either have to reduce the price of the season ticket OR increase the gate price. The result either way is an increase in the differential between the 2.

As stated elsewhere in the thread, you can avoid the increase simply by buying a ticket in advance. It costs no more if you buy from the shop and, hopefully, it will encourage more away supporters to buy in advance rather than deciding on the day.

It's a toughy, and the headlines will be grabbed by the £20 header, but there's no need for anyone to lose out at all - after all, we've got used to buying tickets for other away games such as the Goatfarm!
Slighty misjudged it this time I feel though. I normally stick up for the club and understand that somehow they have to raise more revenue, but I get the feeling, from a combination of those I speak to and the general fluctuation of fans & gates, that a lot of people who do attend have a very ingrained casual approach and will more likely react by not taking up the season ticket option. That would leave them paying £20, which is a jump from £18 both in % and psychologically. Most may do that, but if the product drops they may too.

I think the only sure way to really increase season ticket holders is a combination of sustained success, new stadia, and the feeling that if you don't get one you could miss out at times. As it stands, I'm just not convinced that there are enough of those factors going on to convince the casuals and persuade the apathetic population of Wakey to get on board on a regular basis.

As for the we've got used to buying tickets for away grounds argument, I'm not sure of that. What proportion of Wakey fans going away actually make that effort? I'd be amazed if it was a majority, and they are arguably the most dedicated Wakey fans who do plan a head for games rather than roll up as the weather/pub/form/next door neighbour's bbq dictates.

Quote: Fordy "Have other clubs announced their prices yet??

What makes you think that won't be the price across the board?'"


Our season tickets at Cas have been frozen and that should also mean the prices on the gate are frozen as well.

When i first heard about ticket prices frozen, i thought it would be season ticket and gate price, but this is Wakey and i should have known better.

We need people to pay it first. It takes a brave man to put prices up when attendances are on the drop.
