Quote ="waterfield's finest"Currently we are members of the lottery scheme which gives me 15 tickets to use throughout the year as I see fit. Having 3 small kids this is far better than a season ticket as I can't get to many games.
If I were to upgrade to become a gold member of the TC I would be in a far worse position.
Any chance you could look at a flexible ticketing arrangement as part of the scheme?'"
Yes we have considered flexible arrangements with the GP for members.
There will be the option to add on individual tickets for individual games. This includes kids etc because we want to create a semi-formal but very relaxed environment for everyone. Businesspeople have kids, and Sunday is a family day so to exclude them would be wrong. That said, we dont want to run a creche, thats Starbugs plan
However, its important to understand the lottery and the TD are two totally different concepts. The lottery match ticket is just that, a match day ticket, the GP gives a bite to eat in a relaxed environment with 'backstage' access so to speak.
We're not trying to compete with the lottery, what they do is fantastic for the club and rarely gets the credit it deserves. If we can generate the kind of money they do then great. But, its hard to compare what you will get for your pound when they are two different products.
If you were considering keeping the lottery but coming along to the GP for the odd game then yes, it's something we definatley need to consider.
We dont want to exclude anyone but we've also got to keep the administration of the club as straightforward as possible (catering numbers, room size, Direct Debits, etc).
