Many ways of looking at the increase, an increase of £2.66 per game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is. Bank rolled an amateur team in the Stirling league and thinks he can treat other teams the same way to work his way up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would FSS be legally allowed to access Falkirk FC’s ST mailing list to allow them to do a targeted mail drop appealing for members? And, this is really pushing the envelope, but if we are able to access this mailing list, I wonder if there was some way that people would have to opt out of joining FSS instead of having to opt in? Try to make it an integral part of buying a season ticket? This could maybe be done in conjunction with I think @Bigbrbairn's idea of paying for your ST monthly. Even successful business people (which I’m not) occasionally have bad ideas! Surely the club could include an opt in box on their ticketing page particularly the ST renewal page. For that matter they could encompass an opt in box on all ticketing pages 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame Me Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 As said it’s only a guess/suggestion that the club may use 15%, but in light of what’s going on in todays world, don’t think it’s far off the mark. Also agree with removing the EB option. 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.

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...
