I've had my rants regarding apathy from Trinity fans regarding season ticket/membership sales, the numbers are pretty worrying, so how exactly (apart from the stark facts) can the club entice the people who've not renewed? Would a freebie T shirt be an idea? A discounted replica shirt?
Without pointing fingers, what do the fans out there who are sitting on the fence suggest would entice them to buy here and now?

Personally i find it very hard to influence people into buying a ST,it is much easier to get them to join the lottery.I have 2 ST 2 lottery tickets 1 bingo.I have influenced 3 friends to join the lottery and working on 3 more.Iam sure this is the way foreward,so lets make a concerted effort to get friends & relations onboard.Are there any perks available to club 1873 members to use as a influence.

A recognised half-back to replace Tim Smith might be a start.

^^^^^This is it for me.
It's so difficult to get people to commit to such a large financial outlay like a season ticket if they're not "mad" fans like the rest of us! The lottery, be it Cas' or wakeys offers a much more realistic chance of getting various types if "fans" to part with money. The club's aren't really in the best position to market it either, the "mad" fans offer the best chance as we'll keep badgering away at friends and family!
Keep at it; it's all we can do.

I've spoken to a couple of people that ALWAYS buy season tickets & will get them again for next season - they just simply can't afford it at the moment . However cheap some folk on here think they are , if you're having to buy 3 or 4 at a time , it's a big ammount to shell out .

we have had to reduce our family season ticket to just mine as the youngest has no interest in the game and Mel will have to stay at home as the eldest hasn't, the time to look after him

I mentioned this before and not sure how viable it would be, if the put a decent prize for the winner of a season ticket say like £10k or even a brand new motor in the clubs colours, I wonder if this would have the desired effect they need to bring in their custom. If your aiming for a 2k adult season ticket sale that would be £5 on each one. Might be a cheap gimmick but it could work not bad odds at 2000 to 1

I only got to 4 games last season, so paid 22quid per game, £88 in total. I always had a season ticket up to about 3 seasons ago.
I have no real objection to buying a season ticket , but I would be out of pocket. Could the club come up with a deal that you could attend lets say 5 games for x number of £s.

Regarding the club 1873 are the spot prizes still in place as i've not seen much mentioned about them recently.

Also do club 1873 members still get a 10% discount in the club shop as i've not seen that pushed either? This could be a good selling point with shirt releases, etc coming up. And if folk think they are getting a bargain then they might spend more in there than the would have anyway.

i think season ticket sales are fantastic, i bet that never before in the history of the club have we sold so many season tickets 5 months before the season starts. If we did one of thise clasic press realeases about how much season ticket sales were up as compared to this last season it would would make fantastic positive reading.

But how accurate is that? That page still quotes a £20 win for matching 3 numbers which hasn't been the case for some time, its a £10 retail voucher now. Not that i ever saw or received any notice of them changing the rules then either!

I don't know about the numbers sold, but I would think it is healthy in terms of revenue generated at this stage!

And yes any other time this would read as real positive news, but we're in the brown stuff and need more sales sharpish.
I'd guess plenty of people will see Xmas as the ideal time to buy season tickets but how soon does the club need the money before prized assets are sold off?

I think people are missing the point with regard to the season ticket offer. How many folk have a yearly MOT. Normally 40 quid. Mine didn't cost me a penny last year. How many eat at Nandos. I rest my case. We should be increasing these benefits and pushing them like mad. We could do with a blue chip firm on board with a local branch. Like Cineworld or McDonalds.

I agree but are the discounts happening this year as they have not been mentioned anywhere that i've seen?

This is a great point - we've used our tickets a few times in the past & tbh it's probably saved us enough to cover the price of the ST .
It's another good selling point that people don't realize .

Problem is most of it was spent before the present chairman took over!

I have two mot's a year and never used my vouchers as I have trust in my local garage who has never ripped me off

I had reservations regarding the MOT offer and only used the voucher because i go past the garage on the way home from work, however no need to fear
Totally genuine offer not rip off merchants at all. will be going there next year even if you do not get a voucher with ST.
Genuine Rugby fans sponsored two players last year.

Are season tickets and memberships the same thing with memberships getting added benefits like vouchers off? What's the target for the club?

MC stated 3000 season tickets would stop the sale of players , any sales over 3000 would be spent on extra players , as understand it (from another post) 1500 have been sold which isn’t bad to say the short period of time they have been on sale . but how is that 1500 broken down , I should imagine all the diehards on here have upgraded , so I wonder how many gold, platinum and legend have been sold.  Thus being closer to MCs target in monetary terms

The MOT voucher is a good idea in theory, but why an autocentre in the middle of Leeds? I take my car locally so I can walk to collect not have to get a lift or a train and another bus. Why not support a garage in the centre of Wakefield and promote a local business.

It's not a case of the club supporting the garage in Leeds, it was the garage in Leeds supporting the club.
They get plenty of advertising by offering the free MOT and in return it helps the S/T look more value for money.

The garage obviously take a "hit" with the actual mot but, if they gain some long term customers and make something on any remedial work then they may be onto a winner.
IIRC, they did the MOT while you wait, so no need to drop the car off, just travelling and waiting time to factor in but, there is a saving of about £50.

Is it me or has the total gone down? Im sure it was post 1500 a few weeks ago. Hopefully its just an error and that 200 people haven't asked for a refund!
