Millwall/Peterborough ticket offer

[Mitch]

I received an email tonight advertising a two match bundle, season ticket holders can buy additional tickets - £10 for the two games. Now I don't check the official site often but it's the first I'd heard so apologies if it's common knowledge!

It's a while since the club have put on a match bundle of any kind as far as I recall. Good value, £10 for two games, and seats anywhere as far as I can see. Going to see if I can drum up some extra bums on seats, usually fail miserably!

[BL3]

season ticket holders can buy additional tickets - £10 for the two games.

But season ticket holders have already got their tickets and might well have paid more than £10 for those two games already. Surely the club should make it clear at the start of the season that they intend to select a couple of games sometime during the season to run a special offer. Then they can put the cheap tickets on general sale, rather than relying on season ticket holders to round up some more support.

I was waiting for this... It's a shit argument

I have taken up this offer on behalf of my mate but beware that if you ring Bolton Central and select option 1 for home match tickets and ask for the £10.00 bundle you cannot select the seat you want as that option gets you through to ticketmaster who cannot select just any seats (it comes up random).

I selected option 2 for away match tickets which got my through to Bolton's actual ticket office and explained the situation and they were able to select the seat I wanted for the two games.

Therefore if you know the seat you want select option 2 for away match tickets and explain and you will be ok.

If you were waiting for it, i'd have expected you to have prepared a more constructive response.

You pay around £17 per game on a season ticket. So for these 2 games, you're losing out on £24. This is'nt something that happens with too much regularity.

The 2 matches previously, you had saved yourself £30 by having a season ticket.

Let's assume that this offer arises twice a season. In which case, for the 4 games in this offer, you 'lose' £48.00.

During the other 19 home games, you're saving on average £8 per game (based on a rough £25 per ticket, it's probably higher than that in fairness) saving yourself £152 in the process.



So the question arises, are you not happy to let the club do this (and still save you money in the long run) in order to generate extra revenue, atmosphere and custom that they wouldn't normally get?

I am a season ticket holder, and I approve this promotional offer.

None of that actually addresses the point i made. I have no problem with the club attempting to generate more revenue. I even suggested that they put the cut price tickets on general sale. The point i'm making is that you have to be a season ticket holder to buy the reduced price tickets. In other words the club is targeting you with an offer that has no benefit to you as a season ticket holder because you've already got your tickets. It only benefits people who aren't season ticket holders. It makes no sense to offer it to season ticket holders only.

Course it does.. It means season ticket holders can bring along friends and family for a day out for next to nothing.. Selling to season ticket holders also helps to avoid thousands of Millwall clowns in the home end.

Since when did Millwall bring 'thousands'? Even if that was a concern they could run the offer for a different game.

If you sit in an area which is occupied by season ticket holders then 'friends and family' aren't going to be able to sit in the same area anyway.

But from a 'legal' point of view, it means the club can get away with charging away fans full whack

Well that makes more sense but i still think that if they offered £10 tickets for two games to everyone, they'd get a bigger crowd than doing it this way and surely that's the object of the exercise?

[BWFC_Insane]

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 "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.

They are bringing one of there biggest away followings this season (1000+) to the Bok this weekend because they love Marvin so much.. If they got wind of getting in for £10 they would be plenty more on the way.
