a very good point that some of us sometimes forget!

Surely the whole point of a special offer for a limited time, is that it is just that.
Although one may be able to argue about the level of publicity, the idea is to encourage people to buy in, large numbers over a short period of time.
As far as people missing out on the deal then thats just how it is.
The club need to generate a certain level of income to sustain the busines and now that we have around 3000 ticket holders (which by the way is fantastic) we need to generate some income.

We could conduct a bore-fest about continuous improvement if you like - it's one of my obsessions!



Totally agree with you - if there is some determination within the club to learn from everything and do it differently or better next time, we won't go far wrong. In this context, selling 3k ST's at this point in the year is an outstanding achievement, but there is something to be learned from the perceived amibguity in the marketing messages and the apparent lack of publicity.

I think you've got it spot on here.

1) We need to ensure that next year (whatever the offer might be) we don't lose out on the early income by people thinking they can just wait and get them later as whatever deal will be honoured for all.

2) There has been a lot of confusion around this offer from day one and I think to now state "We are extending this offer until Mid/End October (let the club decide what date is best to pick) but then after that time prices will rise to £x. Let everyone know that this is now a time limited offer and if you don't get them in the extended period then you WILL have to pay more.


And next year - Clarify the wording of the offer a bit better so there is no ambiguity and people are clear what they need to do and when in order to get the best deal.

Absolutely - that introduces what marketeers call 'scarcity value' and it's a very powerful motivator to get people to buy things.

Extended to December 1st with a prize draw for France

As you were....

That's a great result and fantastic follow-up offer - well done to everyone involved.

I think that's great. Thanks to those who subscribed early, and to Mr Glover's generosity, we could really pack the place out next season. Well done!

Also worth noting that at 92.6% increase on last year, with less than a 50% reduction, the club has made more from ST sales, without all the food/drinks/merchandise that the extra people will purchase.

Great uptake with 3000 sold!! 4000 is an achievable target and will be an incredible boost to the club if met.

Hopefully there will be something of a marketing drive targeting potential new supporters in the locality.

It's all looking very positive. Once this deal is over i have a feeling there will be the release of the new shirts. If shirts sell well then we are staring at the most poetics off season in some years at wakey.

A fantastic gesture and a priceless prize available to all ST holders. This is great stuff. Its all looking very positive off field.

Great announcement from the club this morning that does just that!

Offer extended to 1st December, after which prices will revert to full price (£200 for adults etc).
That is all they needed to do. Now nobody can dispute the details of that offer, you have 2 months to get your ST at the reduced price and after that you will have to pay double. Job done.

All we need now is some more publicity around the offer to get the message to those who haven't already bought.

Advertise it in Yorkshire Post, Evening Post, Metro, and most importantly around Wakefield City Centre and we could easily reach and surpass the 4,000 target by December.

Anyone told Snowie yet...

Now thats is clear up till 1st December then it will be full after that £200 pound adult, and a brilliant jesture of:-


The lucky winner of the draw, and a friend, will be joining the Wildcats First Team and Directors on the trip of a life time to Perpignan to watch Wakefield take on Les Catalans Dragons. The winner will receive two tickets on the flight with the players, top class hotel accomodation in France and of course Executive Tickets to the game itself with Chairman Andrew Glover and Chief Executive James Elston, an unbelievable prize worth £1000!

What a fantastic offer...

Cant see anyone finding fault with that decision..............................

was so nervous this might be a rouse or something , welcome the new era of Wakefield trinity wildcats.

Surely to God (he doesn't exist) nobody still has any cause for complaint? I can see it now, '1st December is no good i've got Christmas presents to buy'......


A superb achievement to get so many signed up in such a short space of time.

Only down side I can envisage is the first game of the season,50 pay on the day turnstiles and none being used and 1 ticket only turnstile for the 3,000 season ticket holders!!

Great news, no ambiguity in this statement. As stated earlier, get the merchandise out when current offer ends for Christmas so we can spend the money we saved on tickets.

Spot on

Worth £100 on a raffle ticket that prize .Welldone wakefield

Not a prob for the likes of us mate, they let us in through them big white gates!!

Ha ha so very true.

Told me what
