    Yes

    Not many. I'd be surprised it the gate is more than 11,000.

    If that's all we can get when the tickets are to cheap then it's a poor state of affairs.

    I reckon we'll be pushing 15,000 depending on Blackpool's following. It's a shame really as it's such a historic match. Which will just prove that reducing ticket prices, isn't attracting too many 'stay away' fans. People will only come back if the club's doing well on the pitch.

    Is it really though? 8000+ at £28 a ticket, compared to 11000 at £12.50. Say there's 6000 st holders (not sure of the actual figure), the club are no better off when we drop ticket prices considerably. I know unattractive matches such as Bristol at home, or Palace on a tuesday night should be cheaper, to give more of an incentive to watch the reds, but for me the club is fillu justified in charging a higher rate. It's a business trying to make a profit afterall.

    15000? i'd be amazed if it was owt near that. The thing is as its not just about getting fans in fopr one game its about keeping them coming back for more.

    We'll only need about 1200 pay on the day fans to make what we made against Bristol City from pay on the day tickets.

    And there'll be more Barnsley fans in the ground.

    A better comparison would be "how many would been there" @ £28, then do the stats .... based on a 8K Bristol gate ... a reasonable guess would be 9K .... glass half full best of 10K tops .....
    So using bench mark of 8K attendance ...
    An extra 7k @ £12.50 = £87.5K increase revenue
    An extra 1K @ £28 = £28K OR extra 2K @ £28 = £56K increase revenue

    As a Sports Club Secretary, we run many "FREE taster sessions", with the hope that a % will be back at normal club rates.
    So not only does the club generate extra income £87.5K verse £28K-£56K, they attract at least 5K potential returnees - OK "some" will be Blackpool fans ..... but the logic stacks up all the same

    Yeah but we seem to run a pricing policy that punishes people for not buying a Season Ticket, and dress it up as we have to do it or go under.

    The club operates by and large on ST revenue if the accountants statement from the last published accounts is anything to go by - they seem unable to formulate a policy to back that income up other than trying to price people out of occasional attendance and into paying for a season ticket.

    I think there's two issues here.

    Going to the match becomes a habit as its a social occasion, so you can't just look at the short term gate receipts.
    number 2 kids tickets should be as cheap as chips as that's how you get them hooked on supporting Barnsley
    & not ManUre.... worked for me in the 70's
