Because you're saying it'd be easy to sell 30k tickets at Elland Road, if it's that easy then you can explain how? Saying let's just get people who don't come to come, God I'm sure Leeds have never thought of that.
It isn't as simple as you make out, that you can't explain how you'd attract them proves this. You'd just waste a load of the clubs money for nothing but a fantasy that exists in your head.
Firstly, i havent said it would be easy, but that isnt a reason not to do it
Secondly, You arent pointing out some unforseen problems here, just like every sad-sack cynic you simply confuse defeatism for realism.
Thirdly i can explain how i would attract them, i would use a variety of methods to reach out to those groups mentioned. Such as, as has been suggested earlier, offering a 'mini-season' ticket to Leeds Utd season ticket holders. I would also contact the Student Unions at Leeds and Leeds Beckett and offer them the opportunity to sell tickets for us and make themselves some money. I would also offer heavily discounted tickets, hell even a free one, to every new student. I would offer family packages through the schools, i would also offer discounted tickets to local RL clubs. I would take a leaf from What Wigan did with Heinz and contact say First Direct and offer them the Revie Stand for their employees and families and sell them in bulk.
remember, if we get an attendance 3 times bigger, we only need to make a 3rd as much per attendee.
God I'm glad your not in charge of Leeds's marketing. Did you come up with Hudds cheap season tickets a few years back that as soon as they went saw no improvement in crowd numbers?
