**update, now fixed
Not sure the above will make a good season ticket campaign. Probably best I don’t attend this content day.
1. Will there be alcohol
2. Will there be "entertainment"
3. Is there any discount being offered for the use of ones intellectual property and image rights?
:-)
if they want know what to do to sell more season tickets then there’s really only two main things to know, win games (and NJ is sorting that one out) and significantly reduce the prices all around the ground. promotion next season has to be the aim and having a big crowd backing the team will go a long way in helping that happen.
I'd bet we could all think of better things they could spend the money on...
I’ve being slowly coming around to the new owners in that money seems to have been made available - obviously we are only assuming that at present - and they’ve finally appointed the type of manager we want in charge and are backing him.
we just need to fill the ground now and the quickest way to get that ball rolling is to slash the season ticket prices, make the last home game of the season a £5 match and ask us all to help sell those tickets and then encourage those we do bring along that day to buy a ‘cheap’ season ticket for next season.
I think there are some intelligent tweaks you could make to pricing but people already buy season tickets and then don’t attend. Slashing prices would exacerbate that. The biggest reason more people don’t come is that the product isn’t credible.
We’ve seen progress on that in that in the last few weeks but there is a long way to go.
The idea there is some reserve army waiting to sign up to a season in L1 if prices are slashed is fanciful.
there’s fa interest in this shithouse league apart from us afflicted few who attend come what may .
the fixture list is dull as fuck
end of season play offs can stir it up but out side that league one is real zzzz to the rest of humanity
Hopeful things will improve next season but then again I would renew if we were in League Two as well.
Be successful on the pitch.
Play attractive football
Make travel & parking easier....ie, speak to S/Eastern about not having engineeing works on matchdays and/or reduced service. Speak to the council about their stupid Controlled Parking Zones.
Reduce ticket prices to £20 in all areas & scrap the fucking £1.50 booking fee.
But for casual or new fans just as important is getting everthing else right.
That means getting to the ground and out again, food and drink, toilets, cleanliness of the stadium, queues, etc
Clean toilets or hot food won't encourage people to attend but dirty toliets and poor food will discourage people, especially non-hardcore existing fans, unlike most posters on this forum, from coming again.
And getting both the single ticket pricing and availability right.
Make it as easy as possible to buy tickets, no extra charges so impulse buys arent stopped by poor tech/cost/compli ated pricing.
And use your "influencers". The club has around 8k people willing to pay £100s upfront for league 1 football. And they all know lapsed fans or fans of other or no clubs who they can influence/encourage to come. But make the offer simple to explain (one stand, one price) and affordable.
There is a big tourist industry in London and football is part of that. Put together packages for overseas visitors, link up with Visit Greenwich, the National Maritime Museum, TFL to let tourists knows we're here.
There are also large ethnic groups in the area that arent seen at the Valley in substanial numbers. Cack handed attempts under Sandgaard didnt work but for example Greenwich has a large Gurka community. Use groups like Armed Forces Addicks to build relationships with them.
And there are 1800 "squaddies" at Woolwich but little is being done to encourage any of them along.
The womens team playing at the Valley is also an opportunity to showcase what is on offer to a different demographic.
A lot of this is slow, long-term, marginal stuff but it has to be done.
A succesful team helps enourmously but the club can't rely on that and in any case you want to build a wide cohort of fans and potential fans already familiar and positive about visiting the Valley so you can capitalise on any on the field success straight away.
