Selling these at the moment would probably be slightly (but not much) easier than trying to sell double glazing but here are a couple of idea's for you lot to either
me down or agree with .......does'nt really make a difference because the powers that be will I'm sure take no notice either way!
In view of the Jan. 2011 VAT rise, any season tickets bought after that date will either have to go up in price or the club will have to absorb the extra tax deduction...so a £140 S/tkt would go up to £143.50 and normal matchday admission would rise from £16 ( to £16.40 ! ) and £14 ( to £14.35 ). But any season tickets bought before Jan would still be at the old rate.
So, with this in mind would this not be the ideal time to introduce some form of "early bird" season ticket at the sort of price that would make it silly not to buy one if you had any interest whatsoever in Leigh Centurions rather than the present system which in truth only benefits the "diehards" who can make any day or evening, all of the time.
Also an idea which they use with success in Ice Hockey, a Flexi ticket, were in our case you would be able for example to use a "any 4 match" ticket ( Lge or NRC) or a "any 8 match" ticket for £2/£3 per match cheaper than paying on the day. This would in my opinion prove popular with "floating" fans who because of work, distance they might travel , family problems or simply just the case that they love rugby but have other things going on in their lives as well, so would never commit to buying a normal style season ticket.
Giving "Free" tickets is never going to benefit the club or the LSV, it's very nice for the people getting the freebies but it's not "putting pennies in the pot" and I don't think it's a meaningful way forward , cut priced advanced ticketing however could well be worth a go.
