I've often thought about this. Very hard to implement though. Ideally you would charge people at the end of the game based on how many turned up, but this is impossible to implement for obvious reasons. At the very minimum people need to know maxi how much they will pay before entering or even leaving home.
How about people can apply for a fidelity card or account, which is registered upon entry or included somehow with the ticket swipe. These people recieve a rebate from the NRL at the end of the year based on the number of games they went to, or linked to the attendences of the games they went to (a rebate for lowly attended games).
Very interesting idea but you'd need a min-max price,i knew the ticket price in gosford was $10 but couldn't make it
Both the Northern and Southern hill areas of Hunter Stadium would be packed to the rafters if that was allowed, rather than charge......$28 for an adult to sit in those areas! Exorbitant to the max.
Exorbitant to say the least,not even seated and thats behind both ingoals yes?
So you punish members and people who actually get their tickets early?
There is obviously a place for targeted effective discounts. But extreme blanket discounts like that are extremely unhelpful. Why bother getting a membership, why bother buying before the day of the game. You're just punishing your best customers.
No,Members get a membership pack and most members aren't in GA seating,at Brookvale the GA members seats is park benches painted black,which is a bit of a laugh but extend from 35-35 on each end of the field,which is where i'd want on the bench if i wasn't in love with standing at the back of the hill
There is obvious drawbacks to my ideas as far as members go,but as mentioned above member-rebates could be effective,plus members would NEVER be locked out under my proposed scheme
Our crowd on the weekend given the ticket prices were a travesty but too far from our home ground to really be realistically selling out without CC league fans fronting up and paying a bare minimum for a top notch match at the end of the day (suck shit cows)
80k people paying $5 is worth more than what,13k paying probably $28
Just looking at ticket prices is backward thinking,my 80k people will all want food,all want drinks and be able to only take in the bare minimum to the ground as a trade off for low ticket prices,people aren't smart enough to figure out where their money REALLY goes
Hell if Manly was to sell out brooky 10-12 times a year we wouldn't need a single member
