Season tickets 2016

Dundalk announced details on their ST's on Saturday, pretty good value, although think we've a game less at home this season, also a new category for secondary school students. No word on matchday prices but presumably it'll be the same as has been previously.

Under €15 a game for an allocated stand seat and under €12 a game for an unallocated stand seat is great value. Less than a tenner a game for a ground ST too. Good value on the student/ OAP ones and the kids tickets are for next to nothing plus any kids in the junior supporters club get in free.

Limerick's details are here: http://www.limerickfc.ie/2016-promot...ts-now-on-sale

Great to see more and more clubs introducing a special rate for secondary school students they are always the ones who find it hardest to fund going to games but if you can get them going week in week out at that age you have fans for life. Something Longford town don't seem to realise, or don't care about one or the other.

Ours have been available for a few weeks €200 for adults with reserved seat it's fantastic value, u-12's are €60.

Reserved seating something De Town don't do either despite the fact there was a group of fans willing to fork out for it last season, club can't seem to realise any money is better than nothing. How hard is it to stick a few names on seats

Ive had a season ticket since 2000 with a named seat its something Pats have always done never realised it was such a perk at some clubs until recently.Its the third season back using the credit card style system which is much better than the previous voucher book system.

The allocated seating has been done in Oriel for as long as I can remember. The advantage obviously is not being seated up against the side 'windows' of the stand. It isnt such a problem now as it was when the perspex had become opaque before recent improvements. The last few seasons' increases in attendance have made the allocated stand seats much more appealing as the stand was often sold out, well at least the home support area. With significant restrictions on capacity for Europe season tickets will probably sell very well again this season, hopefully breaking last seasons record numbers - can we hit the 1500 mark? There is no doubt that the prices are good value but I find season tickets (bar the 1st option for the likes of European games) a bit of a false economy as I end up spending as much on a match night as being without a season ticket. The extra €20 in the pocket goes on Lotto, pints, programme, goal times, and unnecessary merchandise lol. A complete win win for the club as Id imagine it is the same for many.

You what? Merchandise? In Oriel? A certain local shop has more Dundalk related gear and a bigger choice than the club shop. It has been more than useless in the past 3 years.

Same as this year, extra home game or not we are right up there with the most expensive and no offers for secondary school students or an unemployed rate. No surprise really.

Don't think any club has an unemployed season ticket. Nor should they

Someone can a ticket today and get a job next week

Didn't mean to suggest ours were a bargain or anything just stating the price. I've often wondered how clubs that offer unemployed admission prices verify that someone is actually unemployed.

I suppose that's a fair point but the lack of a secondary school rate is one that really annoys me as I've seen it first hand this is the age group where you either make them into a fan for life or they just lose interest and when they are finding it hard to scrape up the funds to go to games they are more likely to not bother. We are also second or third highest for a child's season ticket. No interest in bringing in younger supporters.

I think an offer/discount for the unwaged is a good idea. I think the marketing term is discriminatory prizing where you increase revenue by charging different prizes to different segments of the market. As most LoI grounds are never filled to capacity any extra fan you can get in is cost neutral (unless they are bad troublemakers). Also as Nesta says above once you get a fan into the ground they are likely to spend a few euro on lotto, programme, food, maybe scarf, especially if the got in for "free" on the particular day.
How many clubs would hope to sell around a thousand ST ?

Most clubs sell individual tickets at reduced rate for unemployed. As they should

I'd be disappointed if we didnt build on last seasons season ticket sales - should aim for a solid base of 1200.
