In all seriousness.
If results don't matter for the next 14 games, and we're invited along to watch glorified training sessions and practice matches, then the club should reduce the ticket prices accordingly.

I get your sentiment, but what about season ticket holders who have effectively paid up front at those prices? Albeit you get one game free I believe in coatings saved.

Would be a hilarious admission that the club has essentially taken season ticket holders for a ride.

I thought that kid a quid, buy one get one half price etc only happened when the Board were badgered by the SC reps into doing something for the fans.
Seem to remember BSS saying as much off the record.
Not sure who is going to recommend they cut prices now (especially as the marketing team only preach to the converted anyway).
I don't think the possibility of introducing loss leading offers to try and gain potential new young fans for the future is very much on the FC agenda.

You're probably right mate, but charging at the current rates to basically see a team get demolished every week while a rookie manager finds his feet doesn't exactly inspire non-season ticket holders to give up their Saturday's. Reduce the ticket prices, charge next to nothing for the kids, and at least the stadium will stay half-full. Attendances are going to plummet otherwise. The message from the club is that this season basically doesn't matter anymore.

Only 6 homes left including Sunderland and Ipswich so although we will inevitably get some low gates the overall average attendance probably won't go down over those 6....

While not a lot can be done for season ticket holders, it does put me off renewing after having our season thrown away half way through. Bulldozing a well drilled setup for something that clearly doesn't work and then persevering with it feels like a let down all round to be honest. I don't understand how everyone from the manager to the owners and a fair proportion of the fan base seem to accept this in hope that a miracle can happen in the summer. I was hoping our win would take the edge off this and it did for the short term, nothing apart from the odd 10 minutes here and there convinces me that we can go any further forward than we are now with the current manager.

Us season ticket holders have already lost out with Bury being kicked out of the league Really thinking about if I'll renew next season it doesn't seem a very happy place at the moment

Glorified training sessions are you for real,Sunderland,Ipswich,Lincoln,Rochdale,Shrewsbury and Burton all involved in promotion or relagation,come on Gas let’s beat them all,I’m a season ticket holder and will attend every game it’s better than going shopping just about 😂 UTG

Personally I go down to the gas to see a competitive game of football, meet with people and to see us try and secure a good result, that’s still going to happen no matter where we are in the league
I would also much rather be in the situation of having nothing to play for than be fighting for our lives to avoid relegation to the basement division. This time last year we had 8 less points and were in the relegation zone, for me I’d take slightly quieter match days over that any day. .

Also it feels like the people saying we should reduce ticket prices are the same people that would be the first to moan if we aren’t that ambitious in the transfer window. Can’t have both.

The only way I think S.T holders may feel alright is the club offering a deal for the two CAT A games mentioned above. I was a little shocked the Sunderland game is only 4 days before the Ispwich game. So a terrace ticket for both games in West encl will cost £48 plus costs if online . And a North terrace will be £44 plus costs online. I assume stand tickets will be around £54 for both. I think nearly £50 quid to stand on the side to watch Two divison three games is a bit too much. So why not do : Buy two CAT A terrace tickets £ 40 . Buy two CAT A stands £46 . I know a lot of fans who like the ' BIG GAMES' but can't afford two CAT A increases in 4 days. I say this as usually CAT A games are spread across and a CAT A package deal might put extra revenue on the gates . Currently : for both games it's over 20% increase !!

So well probably get destroyed.

I wouldn’t be in favour of reducing ticket prices, however if we’re serious about garner being for the long term then I think could get some ticket initiatives on the go to encourage people to bring along Mates, kids etc to see the difference in style to Coughlan ball.
Quid a kid, mate comes for a £5 if you have a season tickets. Free tickets to primary/secondary schools in the south and south west stand.

And that's the sad thing. We could of albeit a slim chance of leaving this division in a upwardly motion and potentially playing to sell out crowds for these last few games. Instead we are trying to hawk our ware to primary schools and anybody with nothing to do on a sat afternoon just to make it look like a crowd. That's what so depressing about the way this has been done.

In other words we’re bang average mid-table, just like we’ve been for many of our seasons. Whilst I understand the point of the OP the club have to budget and I don’t suppose we can expect too much. If we did that now it would be like saying whenever we’re mid table it gets cheaper. Be good to hear about some offers and something for the younger gas / families to encourage them in. UTG!
