Andy Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) I know folk on here have moaned in the past when suggestions have been made around reduced prices at games, but I really think this match is a case where it would be beneficial. Win this game and we are really in the mix at the right end of the table. We saw yesterday what reduced prices can do. i Really think this is our chance to end our Aberdeen jinx, and reduced prices could mean we do it in front of a big noisey Home support, it would also reward the fantastic support the club have earned on the road this season, and further strengthen the new feel of club and fans working together. I should add as a season ticket holder I have nothing to gain from reduced prices. Edited April 15, 2018 by Andy -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i right in saying if we reduce the home gate price we don’t need to reduce the away gate? As the moffat is closed so its not the same view? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Good idea but I’m not sure how viable it will be? We’ve had no home game for the last few weeks and only two post split. Depends how much we are looking for the cash. Half price entry probably won’t attract double the number to make up the short fall. Worth a try though. I really hope this game is appealing to fans. There is a genuine chance if we win that we can get right in the mix for the places above us. Second may be a step to far in jumping three teams but fourth is there for the taking and third could be. It will be disappointing whatever the ticket price if the fans don’t show up in there number. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add as a season ticket holder I have nothing to gain from reduced prices. Totally agree and again no financial gain to me made by me either. My big concern is with the Dons being hammered on Saturday we need to accept they will be coming with a different mindset had they won yesterday. A bigger and noisier crowd like at the QF against them will help the team. Believe we will win but it will take a 110% effort from everyone at the Club to get the 3 points and any extra advantage that is available. May also help encourage a few new fans to get involved and hopefully want to come back!! Fully support reduced prices right across the board.

historyman Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 The fact that there is something at stake is why we don't need to do anything with the prices. If in the final game v Hearts we have nothing to play for (and I think this might be the case) then the club could lower the prices and let kids in free as a thank you for their support over the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudger Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 BOGOF with the Hearts game would be a great idea. Two games to look forward to, it encourages a bigger crowd and ensures that the stands are busy on the last game of the season with the fans applauding the players and management on a remarkable season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRonFaeTheQueenVic Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 At this exciting stage of a momentous season, the club should not be thinking of how to incentivise supporters into attending. The crowd against the Sheep will be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclean07 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Why not just pay the prices that are already the lowest in the Premier League and give Steve Clarke as much money to use as possible. I'm not against season ticket holders bringing a friend for free etc against smaller teams, but to cut prices on Saturday would be commercial madness. Almost as much commercial madness as not having season tickets on sale. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty66 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) No good reason why the Killie support for this game shouldn't be at the same level as it was for the cup replay. If anything it should be better as ST holders dont need to pay for this one and its a Saturday afternoon at 3 pm.

Bollocks to Aberdeen. They charge us over the odds and stick us in a delapidated stand. F**k goodwill to their fans especially after their antics after the cup replay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baz Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Think the Aberdeen match might be too soon to try anything new or radical. We'd really like to try and do something for the Hearts game to fill the stadium as full as possible. Going to talk to the club about what we can come up with that will maximise the crowd without reducing the earning potential. The best bet here is probably a variety of things rather than just a one off offer. Let's get the Moffat Stand open for this one and post notice to the rest of the league that they are just a sideshow and it's all about the Killie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebigguy68 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hav3 to agree with Maclean and bullitt. As much as I want to see more bums on seats, it has to make commercial sense. I think the appetite will be high for this game at current prices. It’s not about on3 off games though....it’s about leveraging the current run to sell season tickets next year. Free entry in last 2 home games for new fans purchasing/reserving season tickets for next year may hVe been an idea consisten with this. Some say loyal fans get short changed with this approach. Bu5 think most would rise above this for greater good of the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL97 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 All U-16's get in free. Tell the schools. 1) It'll boost the crowd. 2) many of the kids will buy "stuff" on the day at the stadium 3) It's an investment for next, and further seasons, by encouraging them to come along. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie billies pal Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Without the money a home OF game gives I would say this would not be a good idea, if fans don’t want to pay to watch us v Aberdeen after the Cup folly then we are quite simply never getting them back. the thought of giving them a stuffing on our pitch is enough of a enticement for me and hopefully a few thousand more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dug Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) How about if anyone buys a new season ticket (not existing holder) their ticket comes with the hearts game on it. Might encourage some to buy early. Edited April 15, 2018 by red_dug -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 I think the crowd yesterday had more to do with performances than prices. I personally think the crowd on Saturday will be decent and am not convinced we're going to see several thousand extra just because of reduced prices. As others have said, all that then does is reduce profits for the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be a laughing stock if we reduced prices for a match which should already be a hot ticket. Going for seven top division wins in a row against a club we haven't beaten for years, in our penultimate home match of the season should sell itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
