Don't see anything wrong with telling others that you have bought a season ticket, as long as you don't saying your a better fan because of it
Exactly. My post was a direct response to the "let's be having you" comment of the OP. I didn't buy one this season. On the back of what the club are doing, I'm buying one for next year. My fan qualities are unchanged.
Can people detail what kind of season ticket they have, and if seated where exactly that is, so that everyone can assess how good a fan they actually are. We can then build a scaling system to show your progress to superfandom.
Alternatively, we could just enjoy the fact that we all support Trinity in different ways, depending on money, geo location, family members, how many other fun activities you have in your life and whether you can stand one more season.
I didn't get one last year, and went to nearly all the home games and many away. I haven't got one yet but will probably get one soon along with rest of family.
i have an idea regarding season tickets, that could target those new to the club, or to try to win back some of those disillusioned fans that aren't renewing season tickets due to last years poor run of results.
I agree that the cost of a season ticket is quite high, and that some people think that £200+ per year, could be spent elsewhere, especially if this is a family.
How about if the club did like a mini season ticket, lets say 5-6 home games. This way, the spectator is getting a fair viewpoint and a fair assessment as to how the club are performing. At least that way, fans are coming through the turnstiles and spending their money, without the larger purchase.
This wouldn't be a case of someone comes to 5-6 games and picks and chooses throughout the season. The commitment would be 5-6 in a row, but the fans choose which 5 consecutive games they wish to view.
I disagree. £200 isn't a lot of money for top flight RL entertainment. You have 12 months to save for it. If people didn't leave things to the last minute and actually planned ahead there would be no issue.
I agree that the £200, isn't a great amount for to flight rugby for a season, but unfortunately, for the biggest part of last year, and the year prior to that to some extent, isn't what the team have been dishing up.
It does however, start to add up, if you have got a whole family who goes, which I have. The cost then becomes more like £500, for 2 adults, 2 juniors, and then all the merchandise on top.
I thought it more of a good way to get fans coming back through the turnstiles, as we have lost some fans.
At the end of the day, if we want to compete, we need a competetive squad, and to get this, we need to have fans coming trough the turnstiles, bringing in revenue, and not losing them.
£200 is not a lot of money but the time of year they go on sale for the discounted prise can cause problems . I have not had one for about 6 years I just turn up for the games I can attend and pay my £22. If the team can pull some good results together you will probably find more people will turn up on the day.
Don't forget that the family of four, assuming two are adults and two are under 16, get the latter two free at the moment and the adults 12 quid less than last year. That is a good offer surely. Some are never satisfied , its not as though purchasing season tickets at this time of year is something new.
