Re: All ticket

The chances of ppl buying 3 tickets at discount is pretty higher than the same person be a walk on fan to all 3 games.

The problems with ensuring there is enough change at each gate for walk ons while we are having should a good run

With the lads doing so well and crowds be larger if gives the club a good idea before the game of how many ppl will be on the ground for stewarding/food/beer etc...and crowd management ie the clayton end does not end up with too many in etc

But i do agree that tickets should be sold on the nite still but maybe with more than the little window at the club store,could a box or something be placed on the clayton end to ease the Q at the store window?

Tbh if the ticket offer is marketed well i would think ppl would go for the discount on all 3 games but it does need marketing well

I believe

Sort of defeats the object of all ticket if you just turn up five minutes before a game and pay

Maybe the 3 game ticket should also be used as a priority ticket next in line to season ticket holders for play off tickets if required.Loyalty to those commiting their loyalty for the remaining games

Re: All ticket

The point is the regulars will always pay in either ticket or on gate so it's not them u need to convince, it's the ones whom wouldn't come normally and decide in last hr whether they are gonna be the difference in yer gate. Make it as dave says a builder for loyalty scheme for play offs making it good for the fans whom supported us week in week out on good and bad days but allowing some cash add ons on gate gets the extra in.

Isn't that why I've kept hold of my Newcastle/Fulham tickets?

Tbh this is just inconvenient. I'm a student, I can only afford to pay the £5 and I can't make it to the last game. I'm only home for two weeks, this is an hour of my time to go and buy tickets. However this does give a friend the chance to go to Stanley for free.

Re: All ticket

It's people like Shillelagh (I'll check that spelling in a minute) who will make the difference between sort of OK crowds and good crowds, and having the only person vaguely on the inside who usually speaks sense on this site attacking her opinion as "negative" sends a poor message .

If I had only seen the article on fishy, I would not have assumed "all ticket" meant I could buy one in the shop on the night . I will be delighted but astonished if the home support goes over 3000 for any of these three games (though I'm pretty sure it will for the play-off semi). If it does, the queues at the shop will be horrendous.

I hope I'm wrong and it works well - but personally I think this is a daft move. Mind, if I do make the 250 mile trek for any of these games, I will certainly have bought my tickets on line in advance

Not a good idea if the game is doubtful due to the weather or there is a chance the trains could be messed about with railworks. Fortunately games haven't been moved because of TV at short notice. I usually leave it until the night before the game before getting a ticket in case I get caught out on my.

My other problem is the SPL fixtures aren't out for another week at least so I won't know about Barnet for a while although Bradford is OK thanks to our fixture being the Sunday.

If there was any kind of loyalty scheme then the Stanley Legends should get a look in because there's not much else in the way of benefits from it.

Re: All ticket

There's always going to be reasons why individuals don't buy advance tickets and no club can ever please everybody. Problem with Stanley is that the real hardcore support already have season tickets or turn up anyway. Will the drifters be bothered buying tickets ?

It's also tempting fate to assume that Stanley will still be very much in the mix for the Barnet game ( we know they will but those who don't watch often may not ).

It's the marketing/retail teams job to hype it up and sell tickets, my own view for what it's worth is the 3 match ticket is a good idea but announce each game on it's own merit as all ticket depending on what happens over the next few weeks.

Cashy,

Suggest U review the CCTV pictures with the LCC inspector and read the Safety Certificate with the " Green Guide" and you may see my point!

If you want to delve deeper, look at Kipax's wonderful photos and you'll see numerous breaches of ground regs!!

Guess it's time to re-apply to join the Unibond!!

Re: All ticket

then must have been too many in certain sections of it then? certainly not were we stand was it overcrowded, if thats the case whose responsibility is the dispersal of fans? perhaps its those responsible fer it should be in the unibond.

Re: All ticket

If those seats were to be removed from the front of the Clayton end, overcrowding wouldn't be an issue. put them at the other end where they should have gone in the first place.
