Garnkirk20 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Lets remember Killie are the form team in Scotland over 20 games at the moment and have a real chance to have a major season in 2018/19 maybe the best in my lifetime. Excitement levels are at their highest I think in 30 years of supporting the club. If people are not going to buy a season just because they aren't on sale now and can't wait a few weeks they never will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be because they can't wait. Ever heard the term 'strike while the iron is hot'??? If you've ever followed Scotland, you'll notice that the SFA promote qualifiers like buggery just after a victory, in particular multi game tickets or lower prices for the last game if you buy the next game. They do it while we have our hopes up because one defeat can end the campaign and no one will then pay for the now meaningless game(s). People are talking about second place right now, but two defeats in our next two games and Europe is out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMO Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Feel good factor is there to stay for a while even if next 5 games go pear shaped. That said it can only benefit to get them out asap as if we sell e.g. 3000 by the end of May then planning for next season can start earlier as certain monetary input is guaranteed. It could be the difference between securing a key player early on or scrabbling about at the end 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb_506 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Sooner is normally always better depending on results of course. ST's should sell themselves this year, probably a good job by the sounds of things. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I have a feeling they might go on sale today/tomorrow. Makes sense to do this before a home game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Superscot Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 If they had got sorted earlier, they could have offered free entry to the Sheep and Jambo matches if you buy a 2018/19 season. Just a thought, recognising some walk-up revenue would be lost.... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of commercial nous and willingness to accept second best is depressing at times. We are trying to capture the waverers and one window of opportunity has already been missed. What a chance it was to build momentum. Yes, we should still sell more, but who knows what the rest of the season will bring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, have incentives where possible, but not commercially attractive games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but the accountants would prefer to bank £300 x new S/T holders now against 2 x £20 for the same number of walk-ups and that would give the board a higher figure to give Steve for new signings, extended contracts, etc. Anyway, it is pretty academic now unless they announce it before about 2 p.m. tomorrow and Scouser's suggestion re vouchers is therefore a good idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is it you purchase season tickets from? If its the shop then this really wouldn't work on a matchday where I reckon there will be 6500 in total attendance where they will be selling tickets for 3 upcoming away games. Even if its in the hotel it's still asking too much of incompetent staff imo -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenh Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I will buy a season ticket on line hopefully and can buy a home top for £15 if the queue is not too long for the tickets for the 3 away games that I can not attend. Very confident confident about tomorrow SSC wants to get revenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiegh Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 My season ticket is behind the home dugout. I’ve heard that we are getting moved from next season. Has anyone got any information. Presently on holiday so can’t check my mail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would potentially lose tens of thousands of pounds. Those who are going to renew or buy will do so regardless of one or two free matches I would think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renewers wouldn’t benefit as they would already get into this seasons games on their current ST. The idea was aimed as an incentive to attract new/lapsed ST holders by offering them a ticket to an attractive game IF they buy a ST now. I can see some current ST holders might oppose it as they get no benefit - bit like Sky offering deals to new punters that existing ones can’t get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Can't believe we're still encouraging folk to ditch old firm games. Good to see Moffat open. Fair pricing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
