[cite]Posted By: SE9[/cite]Airman, i ment that both games would be £5 each as long as you bought the 2 tickets. Anyway not taking away anything from this promotion, just wondered if we would lose money by doing the two games for £5 each.
I don't know if we'd lose money in the short term, but I think you'd deprive the first game of momentum and be disappointed with the outcome of the second, because we are struggling to get the season ticket holders to evening games in this division, never mind casual fans.
I also think you would get a negative reaction from some season-ticket holders.
Based on sales as of tonight, 20,000 next Saturday is nailed on.
We estimate that the normal pattern of sales is 25% in the first three weeks and 75% in the last week. I've been cautious in saying that it might be 50-50 this time, but the acceleration over the last three days coinciding with the marketing push suggests it will be closer to the normal pattern.
We've sold 5,029 and we've got about 10,000 to sell.

I reckon there will be big pay on the door numbers. Not got mine yet and should be dragging a few along. Qeue was massive today which is always good to see.
I went on my todd today Damo as did 3 blokes stood next to me at the back of block J so im sure if you ask people on their own theyll swap so you can sit with your pals.
Ticket sales looked lively yesterday - I'm bring 2 extras now and as I bought tickets got the impression they were going fast -couldn't get first choice of where my mate wanted to sit. We are surely going to get 20k plus but if we keep pushing, it will be interesting to see how many more we can get. Think the club introduced this as taking a hit on revenue to get more fans in a possibly returning, but if sales are a good as they look like being, they probably will actually have more revenue - when you include other matchday sales- Clubshop- food etc...
Have the £5 tickets caught Exeter fans imagination - would be good if they could bring a decent following to help with the atmosphere
I don't think there's any doubt now that the club will be in profit on the exercise. The real money would come from selling out, though. Every extra ticket beyond breakeven is worth £4.16 (£5 less VAT) with no real cost other than segregation if we need it, whereas the average incremental profit on that extra person's spending is about £1.50 - and that assumes revenue per head doesn't drop because of congestion at kiosks, etc.
The club have done an excellent job marketing this, everyone was talking about it on Saturday, even the Peterborough fans in The Rose heard of it and were saying what a good initiative it is. The North stand ticket office was heaving after the game as well. Good job.

Does that include exeter tickets?
Which I suppose is a good thing and a bad thing
Anyone know if this is a regular problem as I haven't seen it before.
What browser are you using? Whichever one you use, try a different one.
I've just tried a couple of other browsers and got a bit further but still not able to get to the buy tickets page.
Looks like a phone call tomorrow.

It is working fine now.
