Flex Ticket..

Good on yer girl, maybe those that have been young adult season ticket holders that cant afford full adult tickets may find a flexi appealing.

 

I've just realised that I've added an imaginary year onto my life (there's been so many changes in my life recently that it feels like it's been longer). I got a half season ticket last year and renewed for my first full season ticket this year. The point still remains though!

 

How soon Paul? Villa at home is the first game I can get to this season, but will hold off buying a ticket if a flexi-deal is announced before then.

 

There'll be no grumbles from me if:

It's truly flexible
There's no silly restrictions
It works out cheaper per game than our lowest category price

After all, this category thing wasn't supposed to be aimed at our supporters.

 

I'd guess it depends how they are publicised and the costs. If we get 10 people committing to matches they would otherwise not have gone to its been a success.

 

It will. I just hope though that it isn't a poor imitation of a genuinely flexible solution as many have put forward on here which is then used as an excuse not to do it properly if the take up is poor.

I also think it will be too late to be genuinely successful. It needs to be available at the start of the season for proper take up.

 

Like the scoreboard, that only displays the sponsors of that particular match and the club partners. They given us a ***** version there that PC will be telling us that it'll take 2/3 seasons to pay off. BFC - doing things by halves.

 

The U17's tickets and young adults are pretty cheap you'll find the majority of people who buy flexi's will be people who can't afford to have 150 pound all at once due to their financial situation or the older end who's season tickets last season

 

The majority will be those whose work patterns and geographical location get in the way of attending enough games. Those are mainly the people who don't get season tickets.

 

Or cant afford it so like I said are generally the older end

 

Count me in if it works out at £20 a match for say six matches. I also would agree with a restriction as to the number of top category games it would entitle you to attend to stop cherry picking.

 

The category system wasn't introduced to fleece our fans. We were supposedly just collateral damage.

 

Being realistic prob work out just over £20 quid. But a saving of about up to £40 over the 6 games it'll probably be so two free

 

Slightly sceptical as ticket "offers" over the last few years haven't really been particularly inspiring but I realise that you also can't alienate season ticket holders by giving less financially committed fans a great deal. It's a tough one to get right.

 

The season ticket holders have a deal worth from £11.73 per game. Surely there's plenty of scope there to give flexi ticket buyers a damn good price without upsetting anyone.

 

I agree. I think the this offer could be brilliant if done correctly. Us season pass holders see more home fans to hopefully make a better atmosphere, those that buy it get a cheap deal and the club end up with a brand new revenue stream. Everybody wins.

 

You really don't get the clubs view as a business do you. If the club said hey you know what, here's a 10 game ticket at £12 a pop and it's going to happen every year next season season ticket sales would fall off the cliff. They simply won't take that risk.

 

I'm not sure that's what he's asking for. He said scope. So scope is anything between £11.73 and £38 quid.

Given all fan groups support for the 20 is plenty campaign I would hope that would be the benchmark.

Again as a business you maximise revenue streams and offer customers a variety of options in order to do so. Flexi tickets should enable fans who cannot commit to a season ticket good value whilst given the club a guaranteed income stream and innoculating it against dips in performance which impact attendances.
