Ticket Concessions

**sadloserkid** · 04/04/2003, 11:37 AM

Which (if any) of the following groups are deserving of a reduced entry price to see live football matches. You can select as many or as few of the options as you like so don't limit yourself to just one!!! Personally I think they all deserve a specific price and I'd let kids under 13 in for free because kids like that have a habit of growing into kids of over 13 and if only a handful of them come back you're making money on them. Not to mention that some will bring parents/guardians even when they're under 13.

I think you've been reading far too much Kevin Keegan lately!

Students definitely don't deserve a reduction - accountants on the other hand...

I can't believe there's two people out there who begrudge OAPS a few � of the match entry fee. Shocking!!!

One of them was me, I didn't notice that you could vote for more than one!

On the other hand: "Mooching war widows!"

So you think they should get a concession (i.e. cheaper ticket) or a free ticket?

From a CCFC point of view they already only charge kids �3 which is dirt cheap. I don't think anyone should get into the corss for less than �5.

Sure different groups of people should get concessions but why give free tickets to kids when they taking a �10 adult seat? That might work for small clubs like Bohemians 'n the like but is pointless if getting full houses at the cross.

Remember eL football isn't supposed to be a charity...

I'm thinking long-term Pete, about attracting life-long fans who you know will pay their �10 when they come of age. And when the X is full week-in and week-out you lot can become scrooge economists and charge OAPS �25 if you like. I know eL football isn't a charity but CCFC, just like every other team in the league should remember their community base as well.
