I don't think anyone knows yet, if they pretend to on this thread they're lying.

My ST was 426 in 5 installments of £85.

What insider has said before is that there'll be a much bigger range of pricing options than there is at the moment. Hopefully that will mean that some are cheaper than they are now, but I'm not holding my breath.

The best thing the club has done in years is allowing payment in installments, as long as that happens I'll always get one as £85 a month is pretty managable for me.

The club has to rebuild its fan base. As such kids, student and under 21 season tickets should be cheap as chips with targeting promotional campaigns across the county, in schools, sixth forms, social / football / cricket and youth clubs across the county. Adult prices tho have to be realistic and at £350 plus for the cheapest seems about right. The commercial department will I'm sure work hard at corporate sales.. ah hem. Family sales, well make it cheap for a parent or grandparent to bring the kids with even adult price discount and the kid very cheap. Get those seats filled for the future of the club, no matter the division we are in.

The club should sell tickets in the family stand at cheap prices. The club needs another generation of supports who have fallen in love with the club and will follow them with every step. Fans like that will mainly come from parents bringing their kids and that can't happen with childrens tickets so high.

I'd like to see us reach capacity at Withdean first. if we can't get 9,000 people there then I can't see us getting 22,500 to Falmer.
it would be a shame if we spent the first few years only using 3 of the stands as we can't get the supporters there.

 

[Saint Lennard]

I've enquired (as have others) about rolling on the 3 year deal i'm on at the moment and the club does not respond. I conclude from that, that the tickets will not be cheaper as surely they would have ripped my arm off.

Why does everyone think we are going to sell vast numbers of st just on the strength of the new stadium. The regular STHs (inlcuding me) will get one and probably a few more of those that regularly go to Withdean. As for the rest, the best we can hope for is that they turn up in their droves and get the bug and then purchase a ST going forward. People who haven't been for years are not going to stump up several hundred quid on something they have got out of the habit of doing.

Thinking just that...Surely they must find a way of enticing us to but a season ticket....I will probably buy one..but at the same time the club have 22.500 seats to fill and currently nothing likea 1/4 of that are sth so they have their work cut out...

You will be looking at 8-10k season tickets so thats nearly half

Because we will sell lots more season tickets you watch

As long as there are plenty of installements like this season then would pay pretty much anything

 

[Lord Bracknell]

In marketing Falmer, the strategy to go for is to get as many people as possible to be buying full-price tickets on a week by week basis. That's what packed the Goldstone.

What proportion of people had a season ticket before 1997? I know I didn't. It never occurred to me to get one. The only reason I became a season ticket holder at Withdean was to ensure I could get into games, before they put the "Sold Out" sign up at the ticket office.

With 20 thousand tickets available to home supporters at every game at Falmer, this won't apply. The number of Bracknells attending games these days varies from one to five, depending on who can get there and who is working on the day. At Withdean, we often can't sit together, because some of us don't have season tickets. At Falmer, we WILL be able to sit together - provided the Club can find a way of persuading the two season ticket holders in the party that we would be better off GIVING UP our season ticket discount and paying full price every time we go.

If the marketing department could achieve that, they'd be doing their job brilliantly.

 

[Questions]

I definetly WONT be buying a season ticket. I quite like to try different parts of the ground like I did years ago at the Goldstone.
Also as LB quite rightly states above, you will want to sit with who ever is going to that particular match. From our group that can vary from 6 to 12 depending on all manner of things.

As long as we can still get transfers from the chicken run to the northstand I dont care.

Excellent thinking! You'll have a better matchday experience. If the new 'oyster card' technology is used properly, it might even be possible for those in your party who attend most games to end up getting a retrospective 'loyalty' discount.

I'd much rather the Club aimed to sell tickets like that than going hell for leather to flog as many bog-standard season tickets as possible.

I agree, the arguement that is against this is that Falmer will be a cashless stadium and from all the explanations of buying tickets by phone on club cards etc it does sound a complete ball ache. Happy to be corrected but a season ticket eliminates all this.
