One Goran Stanic Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 The club is a joke. Why not cash in on the excitement from getting Europe. Instead we wait, hold off, don't mention a thing to the fans. If we make a couple of signings which don't excite fans then that could see a reduction in sales. Or people who were at the Motherwell game who don't normally go may have lost interest. They should have had flyers or something at that game promoting next season. I really hate the way they go about their business, Steve Brown and the rest of the board do their utmost to keep secret any deals or offers they have on yet when he actually gets some air time all he does is moan about the lack of fans. Get a grip. Hire somebody who can actually sell the club. Someone who can bring in sponsors, being back fans, get the word out there that the 3rd best team in Scotland is on their doorsteps. But instead we get the same old pish from the same old people. rickardo, Al C, Dylan-Saints and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edstar101 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 They might also have a really exciting signing waiting in the wings and as such a massive PR coup!!!! That may be true, but why not capitalise on the double hit? As Goran says, get those that are on a high due to attending Motherwell game / European qualification AND if we do make an exciting signing you get those that may have been swithering once it is announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the club arrive at a price based on the most likely scenario and apply a risk factor / exception approach should it differ from this season...it's not rocket science Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Any potential changes for next season aren't going to differ greatly from the last few years in the SPL. There are a limited number of outcomes so I'm sure they can assess the likelihood of each outcome and apply a sensible pricing structure.

Wendy Saints Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Usually you have to have your application in by the end of May if you want to pay by direct debit, and returned by the end if June if you want to get your ticket at a reduced price! Ticket renewals were late last year too....don't know what the story was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really don't want to get caught up in the law of diminishing returns! Fewer folk paying more..less folk enticed to buy a ticket...charge a higher price to make up the shortfall sell even less....disnae work.... Keep it competitive....hold on to at least the small hard core of fans & work out a strategy to attract more folk!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case, would you be happy for the club to hike up the price of a Season Ticket to meet expected shortfall, or would you expect price to remain as last season? Saints have still to attract a main short sponsor too I believe. I would expect there to be some different pricing structures based on the club's income forecasts. As has been said though if they want to go down the road of charging more for a season ticket to make up for other sponsorship shortfalls then they will find themselves struggling badly on a lot of fronts. fergiefootball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Season ticket details now on the OS. Biggest things are the prices have stayed the same. Also you get into the European home match for £15 and, if you make the away European game through the club (I assume) you enter a draw to win 2 free season tickets. Decent, although absolutely mind boggling as to why this couldn't have been released weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupy76 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Didnt the season ticket get you into the european game last season? Also noticed its adults only in Muirton suite before and after the game. Has this been changed back to season ticket holders only and also kids not allowed in any more/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1962 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Probably be a no for me as it will be £75 more this year. Thirteenth birthday now appears to be up there with 16/18/21 as the most valuable, HonFencealone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cristo Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Another great initiative from Saints. What other club would offer a prize/incentive like that? Exactly, sounds like a great idea. And as for posts saying this should've been announced "weeks" ago, if my memory serves me correctly it 's been barely 2 weeks since we qualified for Europe.. Surely the outcome of all that had a bearing on certain signings/re signings of players, and therefore decisions on whether to buy a season ticket or not for many fans. It makes no difference to me, I'll be watching Saints anyway, but a lot of people like an idea of the product that's gonna be on show before parting with cash. How could the club have announced the European deals "weeks" ago when we were still an outside bet? And also, since then I think most of the staff have been on a well deserved holiday, albeit a short one before coming back to prepare for the forthcoming adventures of Europe and the new season. Oh, and the job of pleasing the fickle person that is a Saints fan!! Born2Bru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your season ticket and you could be on the team plane for free. Great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
