I guess the issue you have is not able to commit to either first half or second half of season with half seasons traditionally covering second half of the season. If I understand correctly you are looking at a half season that spans both halves? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELE Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 You could have a ticket which allowed you to attend nine home games and you could pick any nine home games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I’m maybe in a different position from a lot of fans, but I’m not bothered if I attend 0, 1 or 18 games. I just look at a season ticket as helping the club out financially no matter how many games I attend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then maybe some folk who buy a full season ticket would just buy a half season ticket and thus the club would have less money Edited June 28, 2019 by Cowden Cowboy word change 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do seem to have a small local support base and a lot of people spread far and wide that attend anywhere between 5-10 home games a season. It could capitalise on that market but I can’t imagine there is much demand and there isn’t a fortune to be made (club) or saved (fan). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could capitalise on that market but I can’t imagine there is much demand and there isn’t a fortune to be made (club) or saved (fan).Many people who only attend some of the games buy a season ticket in order to help the club. Most games about 40 season ticket holders aren't at the match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we might have had half season tickets where a full season ticket had vouchers 1-9 or 10-18 are torn out (we still do that in December when we remove 1-9 from books and sell them then). But not aware of any tickets being sold where you could just choose 9 out of 18 at random and you would need to know in advance what 9 games you were attending to do that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big al Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Surely if you are going to 9/10 games a season and don’t want to buy a whole season book, you just pay in at the turnstile when you can make it? is that not how it works? theres no logic in this conversation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velazquez Blue Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 None of us are rolling in cash. What’s important though is that people do buy season tickets to support the club if they can afford it in order to keep the club running. It’s surely an investment in our shared future support of the club beyond any normal purchase. It’s a bit wrongheaded to be thinking about getting the ‘better of the deal’ and if that’s the case, then fine, then clearly you won’t be considering any season ticket options. Nothing wrong with paying at the turnstiles at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
