Any deals they do have to be careful not to undercut the cost per game of ST holders, therefore when it's a discount across multiple games the savings aren't dramatic. All goes back to the issue of ST prices.

A great way to stop undercutting STHs is to not charge THEM quite so fucking much either. Then maybe we’d get more on the ground.

Should be £300 anywhere in the ground, with ‘Twenty’s Plenty’ for per-game pricing.

I don't disagree that ST pricing is too high but I'm not convinced £300 is the mark to really move the needle on attendance. If it was, and I'm happy to be corrected if my recollection is wrong, the Riverside would be much fuller as that was the initial price. Make it £300 all around and we have an empty Riverside and possibly much lower revenue.

There’s no point of a four game bundle if it’s no cheaper pro rata than what you’d expect a match ticket to be anyway (I.e works out at £27 to £30 a game in the JW) as you only need to miss one for it to be terrible value.

Also logically if you are somebody that doesn’t buy a ST in the first place then by default you don’t want to commit to multiple games in a row.

Waste of time from a regime that is cynically using crap deals that will get no take up in order to go ‘see, told you so’ in FF meetings.

If you use the bring a friend for a tenner for Charlton, I bet buying individual tickets for each game won't be far off the cost of the bundle

Always remember that famous bundle in 21/22, £100 for the last 5 home games, but as they did a couple of individual offers on a couple of them it worked out at £90 if you bought them all separately. 

Not a clue that lot down there.

Dunning Kruger effect. They all think they are much smarter than everyone else when in reality they are as thick as mince.

They're that inept that they're now making Steve Waggot look competent.

How about four matches where each one you attend gets progressively cheaper?

ie. first £25, second £20 third £15 fourth £10.

Go to them all and you’ve averaged out at £17.50. 

Perhaps even make it any four matches rather than them having to be consecutive.

Just make the tickets cheaper.

It isn't difficult.

Well, it is if you're a complete fucking lemon.

£17 in the riverside for an adult the other week, £10 for adult bought by an ST holder the other night.

People still don't turn up so that doesn't help the call for cheaper tickets i'm afraid.

There's no dressing it up when we are shit people don't want to know and trying to combine cheaper deals when interest is at a modern era low is never going to increase support to a noticeable level.

As pointed out many times they simply must do something radical with season tickets in order to increase core support nothing else works odd game aside.

Which is why transfer window are just as important not only from a game perspective but for a fan perspective too. We want our moneys worth.

Season tickets, season tickets, season tickets.

If you only sell c9k of them, your 31,000 ground will always be empty for midweeks, in bad form etc as the walk ons just won’t be there. Now, you sell c12k STs and straight away their is a decent base to build on.

When you spend the summer trying to dismantle a popular and competitive Championship side that nearly made the play-offs last season and focus all your efforts and energies on cutting and reducing as opposed to growing and improving then even with serious efforts it's going to be hard to flog season tickets. But when you simply come out with the same old tired efforts as every other year a decline in numbers was nailed on inevitable.

Strange that the only people who appear surprised by this are those responsible for the mayhem and decline we've witnessed here.
