The campaign is here. Leaflet drops in the Local Area with 50% off Ticket prices for both the Dewsbury and Newcastle matches.

The sections to keep an eye on are 107, 108 and 109 where the reduction applies.

109 tickets currently sold in those sections for Dewsbury. 30 for Newcastle.

Should at least give a guide as to whether there is any uptake.

Too little ,too late...Damage is done!

I booked 2 tickets in 108 for me and my dad as it was the community section, but at full price (well one adult and one concession)

It’s good to hear they have done this.Yes it’s pretty basic and surprisingly late in the day but let’s hope it has some impact. One problem is after Sunday we have an evening match, which is an oddity, and then nothing for weeks so it’s difficult to build momentum even if making competent decisions. Really difficult to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Actually one more thing. Is it me or is anyone else thinking that the Season Ticket turned out counter intuitively to be a terrible financial decision!

I'd think most tickets sold in those sections are currently at full price like yours.

In terms of trying to get locals attending, they probably have two windows. This pair of matches and the Summer Holiday season. Whether its enough I'm not sure. A lot of people's first awareness that the Broncos are in town will be these flyers. But is that enough. I think in the Summer they need to advertise the potential to win a meal out, theatre tickets etc just by attending. Plus make use of the outside space at the ground.

Absolutely.

You're local, but you've next to zero interest in rugby league (there is a fair chance you're not really aware it exists). But you're intrigued. Was rugby league that thing you saw on Channel 4 the other day because that was fantastic? OK, we're in!

Then you check out our results this season...

Horse has bolted. (Feel free to make Bronco related jokes.)

Personally I think these 2 games are done in terms of getting big crowds it’s about damage limitation. I tend to agree they need to make a splash for the summer games a mini re-launch. However, the fly in the ointment is by then the season (and club) could be over.
A 2nd problem is what game do you target? The most obvious is the tranche of July games but the problem is they could be really messy and then we just repeat the misfire we saw at the Widnes/Haven games. I suppose we could try counter-balancing the poor fare on offer on pitch with some effort off it. Beer festival/ kids zone/ meet and greet/ music I don’t know but it might generate some interest and positivity.
