About ten years ago the club sold 6 derby match tickets in a block to those who couldn't afford a season ticket, be good idea to do same this season for Notts, Donny, Barnsley, Bradford, Sheff Yoo and Rotherham (if they stay in League 1)

I think that was offered half way through the season. To offer it now may detract from season ticket sales in general

Absolutely, it would be madness. A big factor in ST sales is guaranteed (and better) seats for those games

Madness at this time maybe but financially the club would profit from this type of promotion, maybe after the season ticket sales have run their course then it's time for derby tickets.

Non league refs WOW

Maybe. Though a lot has changed at this club since 2004 regarding general demand for tickets

Exactly! The dynamics of ticket sales are poles apart from the saltergate days. I'm sure though the derby tickets would sell well and be good for the club financially though my concern would be for loyal town fans who can't in these times she'll out a lumper of cash.

I think they would lose money.

Great idea.
They could call it the "Glory Hunter" ticket.

I have asked this question. The big one for me is will there be more season ticket holders this season than ever before??

Turner says 6k ST sales isnt too much to ask. Doubt it.

Or the, 'most people have jobs that sometimes require Saturdays to be worked, so despite loving their club to death, have to pick and choose which games they use holidays for'.

They would have to wait for the Fixtures to be released before they could suggest any offers and if it is disounted at the same rate as Full ST's it wouldn't be fair.

Maybe sell them as Double Matches (£34) like;

Sheff Utd & Yeovil
Donny & Bristol C
Scunny & Colchester
Barnsley & Gillingham
Notts C & Crawley
Rovrum & Swindon
Bradford & MK Dons
Rochdale & Port Vale

Well that would increase the average attendance big style IMO. Have we ever averaged 8000 in a season?

Does there come a point where income doesn't increase? Ie loads of money up front with st's but much reduced match day income when folk would have been paying full whack
