Season tickets next season

[Dark Cloud]

The club seem to think we are like Tottenham and Arsenal and that they can charge what they want.
They really are out of touch with the town and club.
Scrapping the early bird and raising prices by the amounts mentioned would lead to thousands not renewing and meaning they would generate less overall ticket revenue not more.
We are going to be a championship club next season in a small northern town. They aren’t going to be able to fill the seats with far eastern tourists! They seem completely deluded.
I am expecting gates of around 10,000 next season even if we are doing OK if all of these is true.
Keep prices low and there could be closer to 20,000 on with a much better atmosphere.
For ‘business’ men they really seem to have no actual business acumen. They do not understand the product they sell and who their customers are at all. This is a small football club not a gigantic galactic conglomerate like Amazon who can do as they wish.

The thing is nobody knows how many loyal, long standing Arsenal and Tottenham fans have given up attending in the last few years because they've become "disconnected", frozen out and eventually priced out. Those clubs couldn't give a toss because there's always loads of far more well heeled "fans" filling those seats. The trouble is that they're aren't really fans like "your dad" used to be. They can take or leave it and if ever those clubs are unsuccessful, they'll be gone in a flash. And we have to remember we aren't Arsenal, Tottenham or whoever. When we freeze fans out there's hardly going to be a huge queue of "nouveau fans" to fill those empty seats.

Yep - and they're realistically never going to get relegated and teams in big cities in the PL will never be shy of day trippers or just PL fanatics getting seats/season tickets.

Drastically different circumstances for BFC.

Have prices been announced yet?
All this stuff you mention is just made up crap, with no foundation, nobody has said they are scrapping the early bird prices, or raising prices, stop reading unfounded rumours and stating them as facts. Please do come back and apologise when everything you've stated turns out to be false, although I doubt you'd have the balls to do so.

[Nori1958]

Do you work for the club? Just like KRBFC, you seem so cocksure in everything you write.

Just tell me anything I've said that's false. Tick tock... Tick tock....

[Murger]

‘ Please do come back and apologise when everything you've stated turns out to be false’

How do you know it’s false? Do you have the balls to apologise if it turns out the other way?

Not announcing details is in itself an announcement of sorts. Its natural that people will speculate.

He certainly gets upset if you criticise anything about it.

Its quite a fun game to guess who he is, could be any number of people

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Maybe by not announcing its having the desired effect, like backwards marketing of some sort.

Putting prices up and getting relegated is a hard sell. Maybe their hoping for a miracle ( or maybe just for VK to play Muric)

Quite happily if you show me anything false in my post

Has it been announced that the early bird is no more?

Arh..... Guess who turns up when I post, just like magic

[Nori1958]

Speculate.... Maybe if you're that way inclined.... But make unfounded rumours into facts? Only sad people would do that, wouldn't they?

[ŽižkovClaret]

Where has anyone stated that their opinion is factual?

Has anything been announced? So people stating that they’re doing away with the early bird period is as false as yours stating they aren’t. Yes?

Ok, I'll go through it one more time, you appear to be struggling

Have the club announced next year's prices.. Yes or no

Have the club stated that they'll be no early bird... Yes or no

If the answered is no, then my post was correct, any other comment in relation to that are irrelevant, I've no idea what they are going to do, but please don't say iam wrong at this stage in what I said

[Murger]

but please don't say iam wrong at this stage in what I said

You are wrong.

[Nori1958]

You are wrong.

Really?
When have the club announced season ticket prices?
When have they said no early bird?

Iam sure 1000s of fans are intrigued to know the answer, so please enlighten us
Or shut up

[Dark Cloud]

I do accept it's possible we're getting somewhat het up on here rather prematurely without actually knowing the facts regarding pricing etc, but let's be honest, history tells us that "early bird" pricing is regularly out there by now and this year it's not, which seems a bit odd. Plus how early is "early bird"? You can't call it early bird in July I don't feel (or can you?)

I guess if its a time current season ticket holders can get it for less than new ones it doesn't really matter when it is, does it?
They've already said that they'll release details of early bird prices, but some on here would prefer to ignore that fact and continue making stuff up

[Nori1958]

They haven’t been released. So your assumption that there’ll be early bird period could also be wrong.
Is that enough for you tosspot?

The club have said there will be

[Funkydrummer]

For clarity, I've had a look for planning applications for the club with
the council and can't find anything of relevance.

[ŽižkovClaret]

Just answer the effing question then
What are season ticket prices?

A monetary value assigned to a pass allowing access to home games for a football season x

[Nori1958]

They can call it "early bird" if they discount period runs up to two days beofre kick-off. and even if by some law they can't call it "early bird", they can call it "advance purchase discount period" or something equally catchy.

It's relatively recent that they have sold season tickets at all before the end of the season. It used to be June before the discount purchase period started and perhaps late July before prices went up.

As our Rep with the club what is Tony saying about the situation with season tickets or indeed any other reps we have on this Forum? What is his take on the lack of information for fans who have to budget and plan. I had a look back at the pages but couldn't find anything?

Not sure we have any reps.

There's a fan board that have meetings. You might be able to contact one of them on twitter if you search their names?

Why do you think it’s acceptable to talk to people like that?

You have a hissy fit on more or less every thread you contribute to.

It’s not a good look.

Iam not a fan of Nori, but in this particular case somebody made a point, a false one, which the poster couldn't back up, and was quite rude so he just kept pushing him... In my view both were wrong

[claretdj]

Deffo on sale Monday after todays win!!

[Mansfield claret]

Not sure who it was without looking, but the person in the conversation called him a tosspot
Now you're calling him a gobshite.... Do you not understand why someone might fight back?

[Murger]

Have you ever read any of his posts? I’ll think you’ll find he to me ‘effing shut up’ before he got anything back.

I've spent 5 mins reading this page, it's not quite as you say...
You called him cocksure right at the start, then went blow for blow, you possibly being the rudest.... But it's not my fight and it's a lovely evening here in Italy so iam not spending anymore time arguing the issue

[Burnley1989]

Do you work for the club? Just like KRBFC, you seem so cocksure in everything you write.

Do you wear a Burnley shirt with Murger on the back? Think I spotted you today if so, a little cold for the shorts

Stop pretending Nori

[ŽižkovClaret]

Tell you what, if they don't use the international break to start the Season Ticket sales i don't know if there's any logic in the club at all

(Sorry to bring it back on topic x)

Yep, that was me

Is the same person organising the season tickets who organised the auditors?

Or tactically approached Burnley fans with social media followings to get them on side and create positive PR. I wouldnt mind seeing their ages as well. I dont know them all but seems like its quite a young age range.

Also everyone of them applied for the role and were selected by the club on the basis of the Premier Leagues guidance for Fan Advisory Boards - incidentally FAB's were introduced as a pre-emptive strike against today's Governance for Football bill,

I can categorically tell you now that one of the members of the FAB is not a season ticket holder. He does have a ‘fan page’ on social media though.
