Season Ticket Packs

Quoted from GollyGTFC

An adult with 2 kids is £360 at Scunthorpe in their seating area. It's £465 for the same at Town. How can anyone justify that? I would guess that most people on the Fishy support Town because their dad or a family member took them. If it's not affordable to watch GTFC as a family then where are the next generation of full paying adult fans going to come from?

They don`t want any fan`s they hate the ones they already have judging by how they speak to them SHUT UP

Quoted from pen penfras

Ahh yes, "our budget is too small", "we don't want to pay more", "we want the club to be sustainable". They can't all happen, so make your bloody mind up.

If the club board think like you, it's no wonder we're stuck in the bottom half of the 4th division.

Can you not see that you boost income in the long-term and make the club more sustainable by growing the fanbase. And you do that by getting young kids to attend games in bigger numbers. You don't do that by charging a lot more for an adult and 2 kids than the club <1 hour down the road.

As well as the folk in NEL, the club has to attract as many people from the wider Lincs area. If you're in Brigg say, and you look at prices and travel time/cost which way you going to go if you don't have a particular allegiance to one club or the other?

We're fast becoming the most reclusive club in the EFL. Neanderthal thinking (when any is done at all) leading to being constantly outsmarted when it comes to recruiting investors, sponsors, fans and players.

We did very well in non league you have nothing to moan about we got to Wembley 4 times you should be grateful  

You could say we were spoilt Micky  

Says it all about whether the board think about the fans or not. Fenty's latest comments in the Telegraph regarding ground improvements, now claiming how much improved Blundell Park is under his tenure. The guy is deluded. Blundell Park has become a bigger shithole in the past twenty years than it ever was comparing fan requirements over the ages and how other clubs have modernised in that time. Can't even afford a lick of paint. Anyway, grant funded floodlights make up over 200k out of the 250k spent and the fans have paid the rest..

Tweet from CA sums up his sentiments perfectly..

Town always sell 3,000 season tickets. Last season average attendance was 4,430 so if we assume that the 430 will cover the away fans that means an average 1,000 extra Town fans paid to see each game. Let's look at some maths behind that.

Let's say, for example, that the average cost of a season ticket is about 250 quid: that equates to £750k. Let's also say that, with concessions, 1,000 matchday tickets are sold at an average of £15 a game, so £15,000 x 23 games gives an additional 345 grand across the season.

So the sum of home matchday income is around £1.1m. If Town followed other models and charged the £150 Bradford do, then they would have to sell 5,000 season tickets in order to produce the same sort of revenue they already do.

Now I am not saying they shouldn't lower it to try and attract that extra 2,000 – but you can see why they don't. The model stays as it is because nobody in the club is prepared to take that bold step of short-term pain for getting more people in the ground.

This forward thinking may or not work, but Town have to think about the future, and how to get the fans of the future invested. £250,000 worth of ground improvements is all well and good. But when you're doing it because you have to, rather than improving the experience and encouraging attendance because the supporters are important, then that is why we never sell many more than 3,000 season tickets every year.

Not got mine yet 😤

Probably been a meeting at BP this morning telling MJ that the budget has been cut because the Main Stand bogs needed an extra coat of paint.

That’ll be the proceeds from the Burrell sale 🤪

The fact we're about to go into June and season ticket renewal packs have gone out tells us everything we need to know about the club.

Absolutely bonkers.

May-June-July.

3 month window to maximise your season ticket sales. Why, oh why have the club denied themselves a third of what is surely one of their most lucrative methods of drumming up renewals?
