Re: Spurs tickets
151I'll pay £30 as long as the board pay for our coach travel to Wemberleee for the replay ...
I'd go along with this, but would leave the young adult price the same as for the Leeds game. The flat rate increases of £3 were disproportionate. Small (£2) increases for adults and seniors would be OK. After all the quality of opposition has gone up a level.CameronGuy10 wrote:I think we should use the same ticketing structure as Leeds just with £2/£3 added on per ticket, decent amount of extra revenue for the club whilst not going to far.

We had this discussion before the Leeds game. I haven't seen any bolt-ons that work that easily (Southampton went through a terrible iteration added onto their iFollow website a few years back, it didn't even report on the number of games people had attended easily), and there's a LOT of functionality people don't generally think about - which probably comes as an add-on at additional development cost.Fourthousand wrote:What would be the cost for our club putting such a system in place? Is it a simple off the shelf software bolt- on to the existing ticketing system? What training is required for staff? Who supports the s/w; what is the cost of the maintenance; cost of licence?newgroundrodney wrote:South London Exile wrote:This happens every time a game like this pops up and will keep happening until the club introduce some form of loyalty/points scheme or club membership.
By the way I'm an exile who goes to about 10 games a season, home and away games, and usually pay cash on the gate wherever I go. So I'll be amazed if I manage to get a ticket for this sadly
Heaven and all the saints be praised!!.... someone with a bit of sense..
I can understand when clubs have 10's of thousands of season ticket holders (Spurs have (40k for example) and away tickets are oversubscribed 10 fold for every game; where rewards and benefits and purchases add to your points score and/or when buying every away ticket keeps you at the top end of the ticket allocation table (but can always sell it on because of demand). Where demand is so high and supply so mean for every game, that a club can push up the individual spend by attracting those best suduced by their club or have the deepest pockets BUT:
Could you show the financial gains of doing this and/or the cost v's allocation fairness equation for just a few games a season. For me it feels too early in our development lifecycle (need demand to be outripping supply more than Just 2 or 3 times out of 50 odd events).
Ps QPR have a relatively small ground capacity; large base and have probably reached saturation/tipping point where the scheme becomes 'competitive' - but anyway show us some cost justification figs.
They'd have to get Spurs' approval to charge their fans more than ours for a start.Rjwebby2811 wrote:30 for away end, 25 for adults and under 16 a fiver, I'm all for the club trying to make as much money as possible but wouldn't it be better to make sure that the kids return for future games, that's where the club will gain the most
30 adults then I've got no problem paying 30 as most of you wouldn't, just don't over price the kids and teenagers from comingSJG99 wrote:They'd have to get Spurs' approval to charge their fans more than ours for a start.Rjwebby2811 wrote:30 for away end, 25 for adults and under 16 a fiver, I'm all for the club trying to make as much money as possible but wouldn't it be better to make sure that the kids return for future games, that's where the club will gain the most
As I've mentioned, the casual interest in this match is massive compared to the Leeds game and the pricing should reflect it. The argument that we shouldn't charge more because we're fan-owned is ridiculous because the best interests of the club are served by it maximising its profit margins, which is to extract as much money from the fans as they can.excessbee wrote:We won't be suddenly chopping the prices for young adults (or seniors for that matter). The pricing structure for the Leeds match will be a starting point for this game with maybe small increases but certainly not reductions.
