No,Jemmy, he means that the first 5000 get a cheap(er) ticket than say the next 5000, then when the next 2000 are sold the first 5000 get a portion back, but not as much as the second 5000. When another 5000 are sold the first 5000 get some more back as do the second 5000, but not as much again as the first lot and then the third 5000 get a little bit back, lets say £20, then when the 4th 5000 are sold there will be nowt left to give back so everyone gets a free pie.
SimpleNo – wouldn’t it be like that TV bidding channel.
I sign up perhaps that I’ll pay £300 or whatever, but if they can get to 7,500 tickets sold then the price for everyone drops to £275. If we get 12,000 signed up then we all pay £250.
The buzz then is trying to persuade other people to sign up, because if you do then YOUR ticket will be cheaper.
Simples!
GL has described it according to my understanding
Theres a cutoff date, and prices are advertised according to the number of pledges to buy a ticket. I think Bradford set the price as little as £5 a game if they got 15,000 pledges by a certain date, and it worked. Also really successful in Huddersfield
To me, the gate money is negligible compared to the Sky money. They should be focussing on building the fan base, and if it takes schemes like this to do it at knock down prices, they’re just going to have to bite the bullet.
We should be aiming for 20,000 season tickets, split the north stand in two, half for away fans and half for on the day home fans. If they really pushed/marketted this sort of scheme, I reckon they could do it (assuming we’re still in the prem next year….)
