mcjwills Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 My source within the club (and it will not be revealed) has told me today that manager of the Ticket office went to the board of the club with his proposal for next years prices with two scenarios allowing for us being relegated, both were reducing the price, currently being paid, but two certain people who shall stay nameless rejected this out of hand and has told him there will not be any price reductions but an increase on the cost of a season ticket next year regardless of what division we are in. I personally can not confirm or deny this but he would have no reason to BS me on this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomer Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 (edited) If that is the case, time will tell, there are a lot of ST holders undecided at the moment, an increase will help them make their minds up and tell the club to stick it, I know I will after 22 years.

Window Cleaner Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 If we have been relegated it will be about the extra games that were getting !!! What extra games ? I doubt if the "ticket manager" is even consulted on the matter to be honest. This is about revenue not bits of paper.The financial director will have outlined the revenue needs in either case, relegation/status quo. The commercial (David Luker head of supporters services) department will have had it's ear to the ground , they'll make projections on possible ST numbers but at the end of the day the board will decide on pricing.

derry Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 Just like the newly launched car I'll probably buy, I can wait until the desperate deals arrive. I'll wait, and if everybody does the same the price will have to drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a statement along the lines of.... 'The Board is confident that the actual number of games expected to be won in Division 1 will exceed the solitary victory achieved in the Championship. Ergo the points per pound spent ratio will decrease' Seriously with the economy likely to get worse, even Prem clubs like Sunderland/P'mouth & Arsenal are either offering deals on Season Tickets or Corporates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 I can see the logic in holding/increasing prices. Saints are down to the hardcore rockbottom (go no matter what) fanbase now so they are ripe for exploitation. Reducing prices won't correlate to enough extra bums on seats to offset any reduction IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ron fan Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 Rupert was known to be unhappy about the cuts in prices (e.g. March madness deals) when Wilde was in charge. Even given the economic situation, I would be surprised if he doesn't think seriously about raising prices, certainly if we somehow stay up.

rallyboy Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 And my former sister's mate's secret source tells me that he heard it on good authority that the forum itself will go into administration, thus clearing all current and historical threads based on - Rumours Libel Takeovers Shares The stock exchange Players we will never sign Local engineering company redundancies And perhaps we could then concentrate our future efforts on discussing facts around the simple topics of a.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 13 February, 2009 Share Posted 13 February, 2009 In view of the outstanding level of entertainment on offer at St Marys this season and the teams unequalled record of consistent results I feel confident that the entire fanbase will happily fall into line behind a price rise . It would be a duty if not a privilege to hand over more of our hard-earned cash to support the Chairman's revolutionary football vision . The only thing I ask is can we have more of the same next season Rupert ? and please , please increase the ST price to at least £1000 , as that should keep the riff raff out .
