Because if you can afford it, you not only go some way to ensuring that you actually benefit from the deal yourself, but you also help those who may not be able to afford it at the time, but would like to buy in when they have the money. That way, you get a nice, warm feeling in your heart, knowing that you've done a good deed, and reflect on those immortal lines "this is Wakefield, together we are stronger".

By the sound of it, the price after 30-09 may not be the £175 originally proposed, but I'd be a bit narked if they didn't show some benefit to those who coughed up when required - else why bother again next year?
Your comment above just confirms the poor wording of the release as they clearly intended that to be relevant to those buying before 30-09 (or 1-10 as it now transpires).
If they now said '£125 if you buy before Xmas or £150 thereafter' then that would seem reasonable to everyone involved. No Rocket Science required!
This offer is getting more and more ambiguous by the day...what's wrong with a simple straight forward offer of £120 say before october 1st and £175 after, clear as mud???

I guess we can say that they are new at this! Perhaps next year they will have had more time and a little more experience.
James will tell you that selling ST's at HKR was not a problem, just showing that each club has it's own unique challenges. Ours is long term under performance leading to apathy - easy to say, hard to turn around!

Still don't agree that the price should be left at £100 - as this may affect future sales - but happy for it to be not much more! We'll soon know I guess!

| Well we all know what AG is like with his promotions the semi signing and the cedar court announcement no doubt they won't be kept at £100 even AG on twitter is questing the potential of this but it needs to be made clearer as I know a fair few waiting for it to be kept @ £100 with 2500 achieved i've tried to persuade them to get them before they'll be disappointed with the rise and he continues to do this.

Hardly ever agree with RR.
But he's got it spot on.

Hard to imagine how KR are any different in terms of long term underperformance. We seem to have a few "special issues" at Wakey.

I think its a good idea for it to stay at £100... Gives us the chance to get more support that the club not only needs, but deserves.

| The club needs to generate money, and £100 season tickets isn't going to maximise that revenue stream.
It's a gimmick, and one that can and should only go so far, it also helps the club with some short term funding, when other revenue streams are not available.
If I were running it, I'd say something like " this has been a wonderful effort and to reward the fans we are going to continue with the discounts up until Xmas, but at £150", still a bargain the club gets some more wonga, the fans that take up the deal are still getting excellent value but not as good as those who coughed up early.
Then after Xmas return to last years £175, everyone's a winner and we could easily end up with 4 to 4,500 ST holders which is a massive improvement.
The team improves that generates a bit more, match day sales improve etc and we are starting to move forward.
Year on year this improves, one feeds the other and before we know it we are all sat in a full Newmarket thinking ain't this grand!!
A lot of things can go wrong of course (getting the little things right, something we never could do but desperately needed to), but it's as simple as you want to make it. Give them good value, something good to watch and a good match day experience and they will come.

It's not just about the season ticket price though here. If they can get get more people signed up to season tickets, the potential to sell more shirts, shorts, flags etc also increases. Not to mention the increased sales of refreshments within the ground. If the club can sell another 1,500 season tickets before the season kicks off, it's £150,000 up front and then a further 13 attempts to sell to a guaranteed 4,000 people. The 1,500 is just an estimate, but with Christmas coming up, surely another 1,000 at least should be achieveable.
