http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10341~1559820,00.htmlSwindon Town Football Club is inviting supporters to assist in the club's 2009/10 Season Ticket initiative.
The Club will be holding a Season Ticket forum at The County Ground on the evening of Wednesday 25th February 2009.
Chief Executive Nick Watkins and Director Jeremy Wray will be joined by Box Office Manager Brian Powell - with doors opening at 7pm for a 7.30pm start in the Legends Lounge.
Fans are asked to come along to suggest ideas and ask questions about the current ticketing initiatives with the club currently planning next season's Season Ticket pricing structure.
Article continues
300 complimentary tickets are available for supporters which are now available from the STFC Box Office.
Anyone going to this Wednesday? I know there's been a lot of dicussion on what could be improved for next year on this forum so thought it would be worth starting a thread here so the opinions of those too lazy to turn up (most of us) could be put across.

I think they should freeze prices for existing season ticket holders and then bang the price up by £15 or so.

Good idea.
I also think they should consider the mechanism for paying the second installment. Don't know how many didn't pay up, but there would be more of an incentive to complete if you'd paid £150 for, say, 7 games, instead of 10.
Also, to be honest I really wasn't all that bothered whether I got a free top or not. The board probably over-estimated the value of that.

The most important thing, I think, is to ensure there is a difference in price between the TE and the main stands

Put the away fans in the townend, move the away bit of the arkells to the other end and have the SB open for home fans at super cheap ticket price.

I want to be able to pay my Season Ticket by direct debit. Not on a credit & interest basis like the current scheme, just the full price divided up by the number of payments, plus a small admin fee if neccesary.

Some sort of reduction/incentive for those who live more than 50 miles away.

Good call, only made two games this season (skint). Brighton at their place in the paint pot and Brighton at home. Bit of a rubbish couple of games to have been to. |

Let me get this right then, we have had a disapointing season there is a credit crunch and currently unemployed people are getting tickets for a fiver but we should freeze prices or increase it slightly.

Why would they? People that have season tickets already and live a distance away are either going go come to the games or they arent.Lowering prices isnt going to encourage more through the gates is it? You choose to live where you live and support Swindon,you arent extra loyal or an extra valuable supporter just cos you have to drive down here for the games. |

Not sure if you are serious, but I think (not 100%) that if the SB is mega cheap you can't stiff the away fans for more money in an equivalent part of the ground. I thing the SB and TE are classed as equivalent, event though one has a roof and the other doesn't. That aside. The away fans should NEVER get the TE  I want to be able to pay my Season Ticket by direct debit. Not on a credit & interest basis like the current scheme, just the full price divided up by the number of payments, plus a small admin fee if neccesary.
Good idea, but how do they police the people who cancel the DD? Unless they go for an electronic card, which I can't see. If they can overcome that it would b great. I'd happily pay a bit more for this facility. |
