Millwall/Peterborough ticket offer

[Lost Leopard Spot]

There is a reason the club do this rather than just offer £5/£10 tickets to everyone for selected league games.........

Because when they did that previously they had complaints from a lot of season ticket holders saying that "non season ticket holders were disadvantaged with the offer as it didn't benefit them". This way there is a saving, it benefits season ticket holders because they can bring a friend or a wife or a kid who wouldn't normally go and also benefits the extra fans able to go.

I suspect the club can't win.

That didn't make sense, I don't think. Didn't you mean "non season ticket holders were disadvantaged with the offer as it didn't benefit them". ?

That's just pure gibberish. How would 'non-season ticket holders' be disadvantaged by an offer that they could take advantage of?

Yes sorry that, thanks!

It still makes no sense. Season ticket holders could get priority like they do for cup tickets, before they go on general sale.

Tell the club not me.

As a season ticket holder I don't care if they want to offer £5 entry for some games to boost gates. But apparently other season ticket holders do, which is why this offer is now done in this way. They have to run the line of not alienating their most loyal fans, whilst also trying to encourage new ones. People will complain either way, so as I said, on things like this the club just cannot win.

If you're not interested don't respond. It's not complicated.

I was merely clarifying why the offer is structured in the way it is.........

There it is. There's the phrase I've been waiting for.

Thats how the club sees it anyhow....

As a season ticket holder I'm not bothered what they charge. I'd welcome more fans in and a better atomosphere any day, and not be worrying personally about what they've paid to get in compared to me.

But plenty don't think like that.

Its like any business you want new customers but don't want to lose the ones you've built up over the years.

Damn... I just missed out, I've still got "bums on seats" left.

We can't, that's why we're playing Milwall.

[Andy Waller]

Surely they need to sell them to season ticket holders so they've got a bit of security that the people in the seats are Bolton fans? If they sold them on general sale, why would the Milwall fans bother to sit in the away end?

[Enoch]

Astute observation Andy Waller!

[BL3]

They've still got to pay their way up here. If they'd offered us £10 tickets down there, i doubt we'd have taken many more than we did.

Why, what's wrong with Millwall fans?

[Enoch]

I go to the New Den a couple of times most seasons, I don't think they're as bad as their reputation.

Apart from the women, they're ferocious!

With just a tiny teak, that seems to me to be very good advice...
