| I understand the OP's motives, but i would suggest an alternative match day ticket for something like £5 for the north stand, for games such as Catalan and Harlequins. I know they have promoted offers similar to these before, but why not tonight? I can't see what the club could lose from it.
Season pass holders would of course be unhappy if these were open for every home game and the value of a season pass would fall, but the Catalan game is the perfect opportunity and i think the club are missing out.

Personally I think its best to promote the big games, as these have much more exciting rugby and better atmosphere. Wigan have promoted their ties with Warrington, Leeds and Huddersfield in recent years for this reason.
A 'new' or casual supporter turning up for a drab, atmosphere less game with Quins won't be that excited to turn up regularly.

| Season tickets must at least cover whatever FC guarantee to the SMC. Cannot justify lower prices for North Stand than South Stand.
For those who normally buy a season pass anything less than this season's prices would be a bonus.

Because, say we have 8,000 pass holders at an average of £200, that's £160,000. At £50 a pass, it'd take 32,000 pass holders to generate that revenue, which is obviously not feasible. At £100, it'd still take 16,000 ADULTS to purchase a pass to make it up.

Out of that 8000 a decent chunk are kids/students etc.
I feel £50/£100 is too low. A drop to around £200 would not see much of a dent but might well encourage some more to join especially if it is backed up with signings and a new coach.

They need a better deal with the stadium before they can reduce prices at all. The most likely outcome of reducing prices is that those of us who buy a pass get a cheaper pass, and those that don't continue to not buy a pass. If you drop the price by £50 then you immediately lose £400,000 (ish) - therefore, needing 1500 (ish) new season ticket holders - and dropping it by anything less than that is hardly likely to entice people to buy when their financial situation is the most likely reason for them not wanting to fork out.
It's like suggesting dropping train fares or bus fares; the numbers required to make up the shortfall are too high which is why you rarely see it happen - basic economics.

Good thinking, and then they could start charging for press conferences and training sessions.

| My South Stand pass was £199 this year, if that dropped to say £175 I'd be happy.
Match day prices need reviewing too, of course.

| I think the majority of us will be happy to pay a fair price, over the last few years we've been used as a cash cow paying over the odds compared to the rest of super league. We also need to encourage more travelling support (this always adds to the gameday atmosphere) so incentives are required there. I believe Pearson will get this right.
