The club are missing a trick big time with the ticket advertising....this is cracking value,Carlisle and Stockport...and thats to sit anyware in the ground.
I only found out when buying my season ticket...bit in the adver tonight but thats not enough,many people have made plans plus many dont get the Adver these days..cant believe they didnt promote this better..yes it may have been on the Town site but not many pay that a visit in truth.
Apologies if this has been discussed folks.

maybe they could have done more, but regular fans or part timers, and the come when it's good followers should be buying tickets anyway.

Getting my season ticket was a fiasco...hardly no one knows about this deal....some people will go tomorow,pay twenty quid and wont go tuesday...think i will be dropping Mr Fitton a line so he can have a gander at things..its a bleeding good deal and hardly anyone knows about it.

Won't the ticket sellers tell them? Presumably they can still do the deal tomorrow? That's how I assumed it would work in terms of advertising. More an insurance policy to get the attendance on tuesday more than attracting new fans etc. |

Couldn't make sense of your post unitl I realised the 'come when it's good' bit made sense (I've had a few as well). Sorry. |

I was in the box office earlier renewing 6 tickets - took about 5 minutes. A bloke at the next bit asked for 3 tickets for tomorrow and the Jocko asled him if he was coming Tuesday because he could have both tickets for £25. That was about 9:45. I was renewing the family ticket of 2+3 which they are not advertising this year and its the same price as last £599.
I thought the ticket office young lad was bloody efficient as was Jocko.

If you go to the match with 20 quid tomorow...that isnt going to get you two tickets Sie..the bigger point is that people who wont pay 40 quid for the two matches,or more if they have kids wont bother going...they may well think differently if they knew about this deal. As i said its not me and you they have to try and get in the ground,the team are playing well and i suspect a few old/new fans would have been tempted at the £25 deal.....providing they knew about it! |

"Blessed are those who expect nothing, for they shall never be disappointed" You're entitled to your sometimes downbeat opinions, as are others for their boundless optimism. There are of course exceptions to this rule. |

Well i took time of work and got to the ground at nine,,and was promptly told i couldnt get a season ticket untill one oclock!!...and your missing my point CHALKIES,its not people all ready buying tickets who need to be told of such deals,its the stayaways who wont pay £22 or more if they have families etc. Anyway as i said i will be dropping MR F a line as in my opinion they are missing out on plenty of money. Bye the way the guys in the ticket office were top notch...its the communication that is the problem. |

Not knocking the club but was really suprised they didnt promote the two match deal abit more.

I get your point Leefer, don't worry.
I just don't see what else can the Board/Marketing people can do apart from get Radio Swindon/Adver/Official site to disclose the details? A couple of billboards around town is hardly going to raise awareness. Producing several thousand flyers defeats the object a bit - the extra money is going to be well offset by this cost.
We had a full house at Leeds and it was a cracking game (apparently). Maybe we missed a trick by not advertising this then?
It's a good deal, but I think they should do the Bank for a fiver instead.
