Runningman Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 BP - I bought online when I heard about the £5 surcharge on the day. Also, if the ticket didn't get to Bradford, what's to say it would get to Haslingden haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc0000 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I find it hard to accept that making it £20 or making it £24 is going to make a massive difference to anyone's decision process on if they are going to come of not. You don't often hear cost being given as the reason why anyone does or does not come, its almost always other factors. It just has the affect of making anyone with half a brain cell and the remote sense in financial management buy online and it helps the club plan stewarding and catering levels better.

oafcmetty Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I think it's more to do with whether it's perceived as being expensive or not. People hearing at the start of the season that it's £24 will think "that's expensive!", people hearing that it's £20 are more likely to think "seems about right". Later down the line, come a free Saturday, the former won't include a trip to BP in their options for the day, the latter group just might.

oafc0000 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Really? Granted you see a lot of moaning... The reasons why people stop coming are usually much more developed than just the price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an absolute tool. Suppose this will have to be the downside of us doing well this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 e) cost of lost income by fraud/theft (funny how many under 12's go through Bobs turnstile) Bob does strike it lucky every turnstile staff member gets moved game and doesn't get told which one they are on till they collect there money.

Sorry oafc0000 - I think you are missing the point. It's about attracting the "floating" or "casual" supporter. An example, the missus had some of her relatives up from London (QPR fans) - and 4 of them fancied taking in a game whilst they were up here. When they heard it was £25 on the day (from memory - I have a season ticket) they gave Latics a wide berth - and went on the razz instead. At £20 I'm pretty sure they would have gone. That's the issue (as well, of course, as penalising fans who have no internet access etc. - nothing to do with brain cells, as you put it!)

I just think its more valuable to the club to know they will have x amount of fans on any given day rather than pick up maybe 10 floaters...

It's almost as if the club brainstorm every summer to come up with some cunning new false economies to hold us back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stainrod Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Shrewsbury fans complaining understandably about tickets for BP today, £24 on the day, £20 in advance, seems we are all at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
