Desperate for attendance? Free half season ticket

Post by Colback's Orange Tufts » Mon Dec 09, 2019 6:11 pm

Well this shows how bad the malaise is https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news ... ssion=true. Every season ticket holder gets to nominate someone for a free half season ticket...

Well after yesterday’s attendance I’m not surprised...although yesterday can be contributed to it being Christmas with people low on money and the weather doesn’t help.42,000 yesterday was announced but there was way less than that.

Anyone want to get me one?! Wouldn’t go to every game but would try to get to a good few.

Any idea how many free ones there are? I'd guess around 8k?

I joined before 10 and got 4553, luckily my mate was 700 something and managed to get both. Right faff on as usual, but can't complain for free. 8000 sounds about right, would just about fill the ground based on current attendances.

Club have played a blinder here <laugh> but to be fair, the way the lads have been the season they deserve a full stadium to play in front of, the stay away has obviously sent a message so it's been a success, it's been picked up and mentioned a lot this season during commentary already so I think it's done as much as it could and Ashley was never going to leave just because of a half empty stadium. Also on the other side, hopefully a lot of people who wouldn't normally be able afford to go see the club can now get the opportunity to go see us play. I think it should be marked down as a win/win.

So, as an "ad hoc" attendee - about half a dozen home games a season - my chances of getting tickets on this basis for the remainder of the season are just about zilch!

Ashley deserves so much criticism for his inept ownership, but I will say the front office has always been good about ticket pricing, with respect to loyalty programs, away ticket pricing agreements, etc.

I do find it really weird seeing people complain about ticket pricing, though mainly on Twitter which probably sums it up. I pay less now than I did under Shepherd over a decade ago, plus it's direct debit rather than sticking it on a credit card every year. Ashley has many a fault, but ticketing isn't one of them.

I wonder how much of a secondary market there will be for these tickets? Or will the club double check the nominee is the one attending

Reading nufc.com and it seems there is a thought process that the 8-10 thousand could be snapped up but never used so even though attendance would show 52k the tv images would show lots of grey empty seats.
