season ticket prices .......
 

... wil be unveiled this week.

"Accrington Stanley are set to unveil new season ticket prices with a huge reduction next week ........ "we are hoping to give season ticket holders a lot more discount than they have had in previous seasons, than if they were paying on the gate. We are also building more benefits into the package with money off vouchers in the Stanley store and a newsletter" .......... They are also set to reveal new prices for students and schoolchildren"



more good news :).


It's like buses this week at the FES!!!!

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Now that will be interesting

On a serious note I really do hope the Club get this right:)
As it really will help to shape the future for years to come and that can't be underestimated at this stage of our Football League Infancy.

On Stanley On

Just a word of caution on all those buses they all need to to go from the same pick up point and drop everybody at the same place which is the FES

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

done right it will give us a good base for the following year when the new stand will be up. And that needs filling!

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Stanley have to come up with something as brfc and bfc have both introduced extra incentives and priceable packages. It would be very daring and interesting and experimental for stanley to come out with something ridicoulous to challenge the neighbours and even turn the thousands of blues and clarets accringtonians. 99 quid purchased before july 15th for instance and even free junior tickets also. our walkons is a high percentage of the fan base and they are a target also. Nothing a bit more or less will have an significent difference in my opinion. not being one of the 118 or being one of the 1,000 club. Its all to do with figures but at least 700 pay on the day regular. He who dares wins (maybe)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Think this could be great news for the club.
If you can get the kids now before they've experienced prem footy they are likely to be hooked and therin lies the future of Stanley!
Hope it works,it would be great to see the FES packed week in week out and with the extra revenue hopefully a little bit more money will be available for a few high quality signings!

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Will this mean i'll be able to become one of the elite & afford my 1st season ticket ever:eek: :D

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Hopefully it will be one of the following:
Hoards
Masses

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Just be nice to have one as i pay on the gate every home match as a loyal supporter:D

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Must be difficult knowing where to pitch the sales. On the one hand they will not want the current regular fan base all buying season tickets at knock down prices because iin real terms it will reduce the income. On the other hand they will want to get as much 'guaranteed' money as soon as possible, so will obviously want more season ticket sales.

I'm not convinced that a cheap season ticket will entice supporters to swtich clubs as suggested earlier. You may get a few doing that but nowhere near the numbers needed. The best hope is to get enough promised money to get some good signings and do well on the pitch. It's the only way the 'limbo' fans will take notice.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

I`d still have to see the fixure list before i bought one as i cant make most midweek games with working away, thats why i never buy one as i miss more games than the money i save, if i could get one that didn`t include midweek match`s i`d have one every season.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

those who got one last year should get 50% off this year
come on bring it on

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

how have you got one when they haven't released details yet?

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

sorry just read it and changed it

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Have you got that in wriiting clayton red??

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

no just hoping that loyalty will be rewarded :alright:

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

although I wish the club would show a bit more respect for the fans sometimes with respect to communications etc, I don't expect loyalty to be rewarded in this manner.

We need to be more attractive for the general fan and we can't afford to give extra incentive to existing season ticket holders. But I do think that Burnley got it right when they said that any season ticket holders can have one free (or same price - Lancsdave) if they get to the Premiership.

We need to at least double the gate receipts and by halving the price we would need 4 times as many on to do that. With the new stand going up next season, it is absolutely vital that we get it right in every aspect in 08-09 in order ot hit the ground running the following season. A few key moves would set us up nicely for 09/10 IMHO

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

if the club dont come up with a thought provoking idea then i will be suprised if they better 118.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Wonder when they are going to announce details about it ??? Like Macca says i hope the club take on board the ideas & lessons learnt from previous seasons:rolleyes:

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

and if the club put walk on prices up even £1 expect less fans next season. brfc average 20% of population per home game bfc average 10% and stanley average 1.5%. 10% should not be a unrealistic target for stanley in the next few seasons.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Looks like all will be revealed in todays matchday programme:cool:

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Not quite sure where you get the figures from that you quote unless you are using the population of Hyndburn. Accrington's population is somewhere around 37,000 mark which IMHO means Stanley are getting about 4 to 5% not the 1.5% you quote, However, if you are talking Hyndburn, then this goes up to somewhere near 80,000 then the figure of 1.5% maybe true. As has been stated on other threads (and I am not searching for one now) Stanley have always had the problem of their bigger neighbours (this was as much the case pre '62 as it is now). Lets face it, from '62 until '06 we had either no team or a non-league team. I must admit though, where are the extra 1500 who used to watch us in the days of the Conference? Not that I am advocating returning to non-league obscurity. I want the team to push on and do something the pre 62 team never did, get promotion to League one and higher (if at all possible). We can emulate Wigan Athletic and the old Wimbledon. They never got fantastic crowds (and in the case of Wigan, I have personal experience at the old and new stadiums). I don't want miracles, but to be competetive would be nice!:D

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Pedantic, but the old Stanley played in the 3rd division until relegation to the 4th in 1960 and so they did play in the equivalent of League 1. :)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

... but always in the lowest possible tier of League Football!!! at no point was there a league below us.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Being Northerners I'm sure the 3rd Division North was always above 3rd Division South :)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Well apart from two seasons, 1958-9, 1959-60. :)

1958-59 in English football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barrow were a league below us, and next to bottom. Something we've improved on over the years. ;)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

errm .......


I'll let you have that Oggy.

Mods please close and delete this thread!!

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

........... and I haven't even got the book. :D

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

I know I'm not going to buy one but does anyone actually want to say what they have published in the programme ?

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

No details in todays program

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Are you trying to say the club would mislead us?:rolleyes:

One way of selling programmes.;)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

We are almost in a position to announce our Season Ticket Package Prices for 2008/9, and will hopefully have details available before the end of this week. Next Season ther will be massive discounts on admission when compared to paying for games individually, and we have also worked hard to to build in even more benefits to being a season ticket holder, from discounts in the Stanley Store to special offers from our sponsors.

Our Junior Membership scheme will also be further developed, with a change of name and more activities involved, again with further details to be announced shortly. There will be a small joining fee next season however this will include admision to all matches and a free t-shirt. Also looking at the younger end of the market we will be introducing an admission charge for secondary school children & young adults in full time education, to step the jump in price from a junior to a concession rate.

Full details will be announced shortly as soon as we have everything finalised, however we are sure that everyone will agree that they represent fantastic value for money and a great way for you to show your support of Accrington Stanley Football Club!

Taken from Today's Machday Programme from Rob

It sounds very interesting and hopefully will do what it says on the tin:)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

I hope they are going to get some specially made :)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Whilst it sounds interesting, it is not what was promised earlier in the week. Someone, somewhere stated that the prices for next season would be announced today, and quite clearly they were not. Once again the club has missed a trick and not stolen a march on B'burn and Burnley to try and steal some of their support.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

We couldnt steal a march on anybody... we are commercially not at the races, the chairman is still thinking unibond, he still goes to the unibond dinner...:confused:

nuff said

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Must admit that I was disappointed, though not surprised, to see the same old announcement in today's programme. Things never seem to happen as 'advertised'.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

It was on the Stanley Site. Quote "In today's issue Rob Heys has the latest news on some great reductions on season tickets and the introduction of new initiatives to make watching League football at Accrington Stanley more affordable than ever".

It fooled me, I thought prices where going to be printed had to keep reading to make sure i had not missed it.
:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Just pathetic, really pathetic. Rob, if you want me to come along, give us a ring and we'll negotiate a price,
and the kick off time, if anyone is still interested.

Working towards tinpot, but failing miserably. :mad:

Refund on programme? No, thought not. :(

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Now on Fishy Site as well:)

Sound like a long playing record but once again :rolleyes:

Well done the Club:):):)

The Club really have listened and hopefully people will take advantage of what is being offered!!

There has never been a better time to become a Season Ticket Holder

Are You Reddy!!:eek:

On Stanley On:jimbo:

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

great news :)

I'm off to find some loose change to pay for my student season ticket :D

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

If we don't sell more than 118 tickets now, there'll be something seriously wrong.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

wow this really is amazing i am off to buy my ticket soon!!!

also looked below to see that the loans of kempson and aswad have been extended till the end of the season, also good news!

:):D:p

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Rob Heys is certainly confident that we will not be relegated.
From the fishy site

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Well done, Rob, and the club on a bold and innovative move. I really do hope that the public responds to this! :)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Best start saving me pounds up now :D

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Well done Stanley,if we stay in league 2 its a season ticket for me

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

How many people on here wasnt going to buy a season ticket but changed their mind with the new prices?

great move from the club!

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

I like the new prices but still only a month to save :D what were they before ?? might look even better hehehehehe

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

These were last seasons prices

Main Stand before 5th May
Adult £276 after £310.50
Concession £184 after £195.50

Terrace before 5th May
Adult £239.20 after £269.10
Concession £147.20 after £165.60

Hope that makes sense:)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Brilliant news from the club - glad they've acted on the 12 to 16 age group, just what's needed I think and if the club can get out and into the schools to promote these new prices all the better :)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

I think it offers excellent value to families full credit to the club. To take 1 adult and two kids to football all season for 250 pounds is a bargain. I might purchase one myself.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Absolutely brilliant move by the club but then again I would have bought mine anyway :rolleyes::D

Come on then moaners about the club not listening, bet you can't knock this one

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

great move by club , hope they advertise it in the surrounding towns ect .. might have to wait for fixtures before i decide . see what days am working .

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

After a generously offered, and quite unexpected bouquet to the Club...
The slightly mean-hearted and penny-pinching follow-up has disappointed me DM !.

Your contribution, by way of a Season Ticket purchase, whatever the projected work situation,, could just make the difference between the FES having a new Dressing Room or not !....or buying the 'giant' Defender you so fervently wish for !.....Remember, every little helps!!.

Seriously !...I echo your sentiment, it is a great move for all concerned, and one which I am sure will be seen as further developement of the Club next Season!.

My only hope is that everyone at the FES will begin to rea;ise that the Club in every aspect of it's life is a Professional Organisation,and that only the best in Management and Administration will achieve the success for which we all crave, and lead us to Division 1 !.

'WHAT ME WORRY ?' (Not till tomorrow afternoon !!)

'ON STANLEY!.......ON!!!':p

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Come on, DM. Get your hand in your pocket and don't be a meany! I'm buying one ( for the first time) and I know I won't be able to go to all matches. Every penny counts! :)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

unless you are going to miss more than 10 matches it would be daft not to. Unfortunately I will miss more than 10 matches so won't getting one - I was hoping for the gate price to be lowered significantly to around three quid but there you go!!!!

The big success here is kids prices are now what they should be
The big success here is under 16 prices are now what they should be
The big success here is that season ticket prices are as they should be.

My only slight grumble is that concessions and on the gate prices could still be lowered a little but that would not be to detract from the rest of it. Great moves from the club.


Now we must see this offer advertised around the town. It is not enough to just put into the Observer and on the website.

LEAFLET DROP SATURDAY AFTERNOON AROUND ACCY
LEAFLETS IN CARRIER BAGS AT ASDA
LETTER SENT TO ALL SEASON TICKET HOLDERS AND EVERY JUNIOR RED ALREADY REGISTERED.

It is imperative that the message goes out if they only have four weeks with which to take advantage of these special prices.

The Junior Eagles should be an absolute winner!

If the gate prices were lowered it wouldn't make the season ticket as attractive.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

10?
9 if you are in the main stand
7 if you are on the terrace

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

erm yeah. Sorry I was being lazy and went off some previous post (nother thread maybe) that mentioned a £138 price saving . In retrospect that would provide a season ticket holder who sits in the stand with that saving (I then assumed same saving based on Clayton End prices).

In answer to Jeff, correct it wouldn't make the season ticket (mainly bought by hardcore who would more than likely come anyway) look as attractive but would possibly increase the walk ons. Like I said it was only a slight grumble and the effort and pricing this year is commendable and I would hope will have a bearing on ticket sales.

We get around 750-850 of the same faces pretty much every home game. This should be the figure we are looking to get in ticket holders.

Idea to the club. In light of the hoped for higher than usual ticket holders for next season, would it be an idea to look at re-opening the turnstile at the bottom of the Crown steps? This would help to alleviate queues further round on the Car Park and folk won't have to walk as far.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Am not a mean sod but every other weekend I work and sometimes Im able to take clients to games , some weekends I cant . Last season I managed to convince one client to buy ticket , this year might be able to get another 3 or so involved . Will buy my sons tickets though , weather the like it or not .

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

I think personalised season tickets are a product of fantasy.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

I know what your saying Haz but the problem is where do you draw the line on number of games?

Maybe the feasible suggestion is perhaps for the Club to look at the Flexi Ticket option, for say 10 games & pitch it at a price in between Season Ticlet Value & Walk On Value? That could possibly work, it still generates an income for the Club upfront and could work better for people like yourself who can't get to weekday games

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

When I first read the announcement that season ticket priuces were to be slashed for next season I was delighted. At last! I thought, a bit of vision from those in charge at the club.

I had visions of reductions of the scale offered by Bradford City. £150.00 top-wack for a terrace ticket, I thought. Several of my Clarets and Rovers supporting mates were talking about getting one. But no. The club haven't even got the gumption to go below the psychologically significant £200.00 barrier.

There will be an increase in the number of season tickets sold, there could hardly be fewer, but not enough of those who currently pick and choose their games are going to be tempted into buying a season ticket and going game-in, game-out.

The opportunity to play in front of decent crowds, and with it to sell additional programmes, merchandise, food and drink, has been spurned and we can all look forward to another season of having the lowest crowds in the League by a country mile.

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

As a Current Season Ticket Holder who takes my two kids one as a junior & one as a concession Season Ticket Holder we paid a total of £386.40

Next Season it will be £287

Nearly a £100 saving on the Terrace

If that was in the Main Stand it would have been £460

Next Season it will be £287

£173 saving

So it is going massively in the right direction:)

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

i dont see why people are still moaning they said they wanted season tickets reduced/gate fees reduce and the club have. but people are still moaning how low do you want them to go they have proberly gone as low as they can afford to go with all wages etc to pay

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

top prices but no purchase from me if no accrington .

Re: season ticket prices .......
 

Same here, and with possibly more Friday night games, plus the undoubted presence of Ricky Kirby, it's still a pig in a poke.

Nice move, spoiled. :(
