season ticket deadline ? : Thu Oct 17, 2019 2:11 pm  

On 14th September the club stated on the website that the early bird prices would be held until Saturday 30th November.
This week, they tweeted that the deadline for early bird prices finishes on Saturday 19th October at 5.0 pm ?

Is there an actual change to the deadline or, is one of these for the staged payments option ?

Platinum 500 ends this this week not early bird

Early bird should run right up until the new year, giving people time to decide and budget.

It's overprice IMO anyway.

If it was priced at that Dreadnought, we'd struggle even more regarding budgets and the salary cap.

Most NRL clubs season tickets are priced lower than that of any SL club, but NRL clubs receive better TV sponsorships and also the clubs that ran over there. I believe the one Penrith have, operate around 1000 slot machines, all of which make money.

I also think that the sponsorship/hospitality packages are priced higher in the NRL.

Think the best way to offer any reduced ticket would be targetting some of the new builds going/gone up around the city, as some of these may well be new to the area.

Another way, to try to boost sales with a discounted ticket may be to, say run between Christmas and the first home game, compare like for like areas in the city, (ie Outwood and Stanley) and see if there are any areas that aren't selling as well as the other, and maybe do a leaflet drop in that area, with a slightly discounted season ticket. If there is then an increase, then look at another part of the city, and so on.

It sounds hard work, and time and cost consuming, but say this happened and a further few hundred season tickets got sold, then surely it is working

I’m guessing they can do a deal like that due to having thousands more fans than Wakey, more revenue from sponsors , oh ... and consistently successful on the pitch just guessing mind.

The savings at the Stadium would be more than eaten up by the cost of gettting to Australia, stay in Wakefield and look forward to 2020
