roman_bairn Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 1 hour ago, Blame Me said: Reading with interest the posts regarding potential price increase and wonder what would be reasonable. I'd suggest £470 for an adult without an early bird offer but with DD option Our season ticket sales would probably drop by 50% and wipe out our business plan as a consequence….. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I’d wager it’ll depend on what league we are in. If it’s L1 then I dont think 10% will be too far away. If it’s Championship it may well be 15% or more of an increase. Dundee this season were £350 early bird as an example. Partick Thistle £310 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) What does it work out at per game for a ST today? I think we charge £18 PATG SS, my guess is that would go to £20 with a similar increase in the main stand. The ST pricing will be worked back from that probably. For every £10 increase in ST it brings you roughly 25k gross or just under 21k ex vat. £40 increase is just over £2per game. Or in round numbers 85k extra revenue. With FSS 100k this would nearly give you half the 400k shortfall. £2 on the PATG with 2500 ST and 1500 PATG is an extra 50k roughly. Therefore a sensible increase and no drop off in fans probably goes a big way to filling the hole.

I'm not sure how you'd even go about reporting it, but there's been quite a few high profile examples of abusive messages on twitter seing people get charged. The one with the name should be much simpler, chances of the person creating an account but using there email address? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly I have no idea, I'm not familiar with the software it's possible it just requires you to write in a name without any email. Hopefully the club shut down the Q&A ASAP and investigate it however they can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass all the correspondence onto the police, sure they have specialist people that can interrogate these sickening posts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Someone mentioned earlier that they were turning 65 and looking for the concession price. No idea how this works but if the club apply the discount automatically when someone hits 65 it would be better to give the option of continuing to pay full price or taking the discounted price. Some over 65s will be able to afford it and may be happy to continue paying the full adult rate for STs. I'd also look at starting to charge under 12s for STs that aren't restricted to the family section. Even if it's £50 or less that's money in the coffers. At the moment an adult pays more for a main stand or prime seat but free kids STs are available anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free U12 tickets with adult ticket in family stand. £50 for u12 in KM stand/main stand regular. £60 for prime seating? Feels reasonable, around £3 per game but could be quite a bit of extra money at the start of the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an investment in the future of the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
