Title: The Town End
Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Tuesday, July 15, 2008, 09:55:43
It appears we have sold less than 400 season tickets for the it.

Do you think it would be worth the board maybe trying to do some promption where season tickets are something like a £120 and maybe create a late surge for season tickets .

I know some people will say what about the others who have already got one but im sure something can be done.

Just seems to have gone quiet on sales push recently i actually think the club are quietly happy with what we have sold already tbh.

No. Too much of a gamble. I think loss of revenue would be too high as people clamour to get back in the TE.

As the TE offers cheaper match day tickets, I expect it will be quite useful to attract casual fans for odd games. I even reckon that's another reason they made all the stands the same price - so they would have more of the TE free to attract the people who pay as they go.

what si said really.the lack of sales in the townend aint a problem imo.people will just turn up on the day as they always have.
the value wasn't as great for season tickets in there, so no surprises they aint shifted loads.

So, if alot of people wont go in there for the view then what sort of people are you hoping to attract with cost savings with the season tickets?

Lets be honest, the Town End is a shit stand. Its small, its a crap view and its usually dead in there.

I agree completely.  Perhaps having an extra concession on match days would be better though.  Keep the current prices but introduce a scheme for 16-20/21 year olds like they are for the pompey friendly - would get a few more in there thats for sure.

Cool, I can blame the 'guy with the jacket' when I throw stuff at the opposition keeper then.

The people i would hope to attract are the ones who would rather pay  say £120 instead of £220 , Mental eh

Well I'm glad I got a place in the TE because I forgot how crammed in you are in the DRS.

I thought the town end was stupidly dead last night. Classic example of fuck all atmosphere.

I think that the TE will probably be used for special promotions during the season, so I wouldn't overly worry about it being empty I'm sure you won't be on your own for long.....

Yeah, there does seem to be hints of Townend super offers. I'm looking forward to free tickets for fB.
