Genuine question.

What sort of season ticket package would the exiles want? A book of 10 or 15 tickets to be used as and when?

My thoughts are home tickets are bought on the day at the normal price with no discount. You pay for an away "season ticket" which puts you in the queue with regular season ticket holders for away tickets when they go on sale (provided you want them) and which would be posted to you at your exiled address. Not sure about other benefits such as club shop discount. The club make very little from away ticket sales but as JF said at the fans forum our away support is worth a few points a season, so the club gain from making it easy for everyone to get to their nearest games, as well as rewarding their most loyal customers.

For me a reduced price on the price( like a concession oap etc) as I come to all the matches but also have the £30 fuel on match day.

To be fair I’m tempted to get one for the first time, waiting for the monthly payment option though

what about a half time season ticket where you only pay for the first 45 minutes. So many times I have wanted to go home by half time.

I'd have thought that an exiles ST package would be about having a book of tickets for 10-15 games say at a discount from the normal match day ticket (but maybe not as much as a full ST discount). Commercially it'd need to be a fine balancing act because the club should try to avoid cannibalising existing ST sales to exiles. Maybe do it as a trial for the first season.

The shift worker package could be along the same lines.

Presumably the club could look at the address database to work out how many STs already go to exiles, then look next year to see how many it's lost.

I await the "record season ticket sales for this time of year/better than this time last year" press release/ unrealistic positive PR statement from the club. This time last year was still waiting for ST to go on sale....


It'd be factually correct!

One way to make more money is to categories away games or something and get people to pay an amount to have priority of certain tickets... Ie I live In the south west, so for the games within say 150 miles of me  I can pay gtfc (say for arguments sake £20) for me to be garentueed a ticket at all those games and they send the tickets to me free of charge I just pay the price of the ticket.. So if its 5 games, 5 lots of tickets being sent out at say £1.50 each is £7.50 so from me alone they've gained £12.50. It's pennies to a football club, but you do something similar to this but more thought through and You have 500+ exiles do this that's £5000+
