| Quote THORNTONGIANT="THORNTONGIANT"The walk up price this year of 24 pounds is way too expensive in my opinion that's why the crowds have been lower than the club would like. People haven't been able to afford season ticket prices therefore attendances have been poor. The ticket exchange scheme is a good one and I like the one offered by Bradford City FC (but I am biased). They have season tickets available and also a 'Flexi Card' scheme. Basically if you can't stretch to a season ticket for whatever reason you can buy a flexi card which is 50 pounds and then you pay 10 pounds for each game you attend rather than the walk up price of 20 pounds. I think this scheme would bring in more money for the Giants and its far easier to administer. Essentially you would pay the 50 pounds and then say 12 pounds for each game attended through out the season. Obviously depending on the number of games you intend to attend will determine what works out most cost effective.'"
Not heard of the Bradford scheme but they seem to consistently break the 10,000 barrier and the impact on the pitch has not been too bad either, sounds like it could be worth the club looking into to see if it could work for us.

| Yes 10,000 (ish) regularly attend league games. Its a great scheme and one which the Giants could benefit from I'm sure albeit with their own pricing structure. City are offering them again next season. The thing is what I have found this year with the football the more games you attend (if the team are doing well on the pitch) you want to keep attending its a snowball effect. You'll find that some flexi card fans will upgrade to a season ticket for next season......(the Wembley Cup Final has helped also)

I like the idea.
They'd have to make the maths viable - with only 13 homes a season the cost per game would need to be higher.
Season Ticket: £200
Flexicard:
£50 + 13x£10 = £180
£50 + 13x£12 = £206
£50 + 13x£14 = £232 (also is £10 per saving per game).
At £14, the flexicard entrance fee could then be reduced to a tenner for the poorer attended fixtures or ones where the club want a bigger following. ie 3 games in a season which would net an additional £20 from people who buy a flexicard and then attend each game.
That said, I'd probably opt for a Fleixcard knowing I am going to miss at least couple of games a season (summer holidays, diary conflict with work).

| Agreed Wadski the maths is down to the club, I've written to the Giants to suggest they look into it. Flexi cards by their very nature are aimed at supporters who cant commit to attend every game but equally don't want to pay the 24 pounds walk up price. The challenge is to convert flexi card holders to season ticket holders which is achievable.
Its a great scheme if thought through and marketed properly.

And if we can get companies on board for STH and whatever any new scheme might be called for discounts, offers etc like County Cricket clubs in particular do it is a win win situation as we can raise more commercial sponsorship as well as hopefully more money generated from fans.

Think this is an excellent idea, who can complain about paying £14 per match? You would expect many more people to take up this option but would they count as season ticket holders or not? Could certainly help us to get to the 10,000 avearage figure touted so much as well.
Only problem that i can foresee is that the club will not have any definative idea of amount of income coming in until the actual end of the season, which is not a lot of use when you are trying to sign new players at the start of it!

people complain about £8 per match. the £99 season ticket was available to everyone at the start of the season if they wanted to support the giants

Attractive price, but not a very attractive seating location...

Was only available until 30th November which might have been a mistake as charging that through to the season start might have seen more takers but I guess we will never know.

Exactly, the numbers in that are will tell you that even at that price not many people want to be stuck in a temporary tier almost at ground level, behind the posts.
Its all well and good saying that people can watch the Giants for £99 or £8 a game but if your not going to enjoy it from where your sat what is the point ?
