When I was travelling back South from the Lincoln game on New Years Day with Eastend Mariner, we got talking about buying season tickets as exiled Mariners and basically came to the conclusion that they wouldn't be value for money for us as we wouldn't be able to attend every home game. I remember Eastend Mariner mentioning that (ahem, clears throat) Lincoln did an offer called "The Six Pack" which basically works like a mini season ticket but entitles the holder entry to any six of their chosen home league fixtures at a discounted rate. At the time, I thought that this was a really good idea as I do get to a few home games every season, six or seven at least and it's only 'till now that I've thought about it again.

As an exiled Mariner I'd like to hear from others (whether you're are exiled or not) what they think to this idea and is it something that would be worth suggesting to either the club or the trust to look into?


You fill up my senses,

Great idea - living in Belfast, six home games a season is about my limit.

Good idea, I often work Saturdays so a season ticket isn't good value for me.

It's a problem allocating seats I would have thought. Also, what if we have a promotion decider in May, the ground holds less than 10k nowadays.

similar position as you  live away from the area and cant get to see that many games at Blundell park.Think an idea like this  would be excellent

it is a good idea particularly at this level where attendances have dwindled and the club could do with the extra income(however may work for just some games (the non fancied teams ) and a limited number of these seats made available as opposed to some of the bigger games when numbers increase

How about fans pay £90 and get 6 stubs, which they take to the club shop in exchange for a choice of whatever seat is available?

It is a great idea but you can't expect a guaranteed seat of you're only going to attend 6 games.

Good point but do you really think that even if we were on a promotion push, we'd be able to fill Blundell? The club would probably put on an offer for tickets trying to get people in at silly prices like they did when we were struggling to stay in the league to the annoyance of full season ticket holders.

This is what I had in mind, buy your tickets and take your pick from the seats left on the day. I think, if say an exiled fan committed themselves to buying six home game tickets it would give them more incentive to actually go to games and if they didn't go, the club has money in the bank anyway.
