You don't need to make it as cheap as £15 but you still have to find a balance between treating your fans well, encouraging as many to go as possible whilst making money and what makes sense for the situation and our current situation is we have a squad of players who are not worth paying 30 quid to watch along with the fact that the game is on a sunday lunch time and on tv. £30 is the type of thing you do when the team is on a great run, fans are happy, players are good to watch and its not on tv or its a major game like a cup quarters/semi/final but paying £30 to watch a team whos best attacking player atm is peter pawlett........ no thanks
I remember we reduced prices for the ICT quarter final at home a couple of seasons back and kept the Shed and that wasn’t exactly a sell out. Same for the Hibs Cup game in 2020 as well. I’m not disagreeing that I think £30 is OTT - it is - but you can actually look back at certain games with hard evidence that reducing prices significantly does not guarantee big sell out crowds.
