Nothing but it's the only paper Essex read at school!What has Maslow’s hierarchy of needs got to do with pricing strategies ?

Yes exactly, I have a lot of fun with my group, and dont eat, drink, or linger in the stadium. Down the front for the lap of honour then home for tea.The best thing about the 'experience' (apart from the actual football!) is the people I sit with. A crappy stadium with poor facilities both in and around it won't put the likes of me and many of us on here off going - but it won't attract more casual or new supporters either.

You are moaning because you get a discount? That’s a new one. They aren’t going to offer discounts for the best seats in the house, and neither should they.If the club want bigger attendances while at the kassam they need to sort the ticket price structure out. Why is it only the 2 blocks to the left of the north stand is the family stand meaning if you want to move anywhere else you would have to pay extra for your child? Example I pay £26 for me and my boy in the family section, move further to the centre of the North stand or south stand lower and the price jumps up to £34. Should be the same price in every stand except the South stand upper. Also we call it the family section but they don't do anything for the kids, not even had olly the ox out for this season..
Now we get a larger share of the catering money, surely now is the time to look at ticketing prices/deals to get more to the ground. A kid a quid offer for example at a game with a small away following, make sure the catering queues are served quickly, have merchandise on sale around the ground. Worth a try to attract families/children

Here we go again, if these people were real U's they would get their a**e along to more normal games then!Rubbish. Take the man city league cup game we could of sold 20k + tickets easy the amount of people that were asking me to get them a ticket. We need to have a better stadium and go up the leagues like Brighton/reading have to gain these fans in to regulars. When we moved to the kassam it was unfinished and we were in free fall.

These people pick up and put down the club when it suits, if that is not a lack of passion, I don't know what is...
Has he got TB? Look what they did to GeronimoIf the club want bigger attendances while at the kassam they need to sort the ticket price structure out.

Comparison swinedon offer kids under 12 for £1 anywhere in the ground and under 16's are £6.
Ticket pricing committee : we have decades of experience of pricing season tickets and match day tickets , discounts , special offers , and know what works.
EssexYellows: have you factored in food , sleep and water into that ?
So a banana on each seat would bring them rushing inIf they had "decades of experience" we wouldn`t be flatlining in terms of bums on seats as the team has had relative success on the pitch and the audience would be growing.
Like fruit on a train, makes the journey more pleasant, becomes a habit, and people benefit.
Basics.
I'm a passionate supporter and have been for 30 years but even I find it hard to get enthusiasm to travel to our s**t hole of a stadium. We never done it the right way when we moved away from the Manor and didn't capitalise on bringing in extra support. I have hopes that our current owners are going to build us something special where people love to be and can't wait to return. Until then we are only going to have 7.5k hone fans and the odd sell our against the big teams.

You don't half talk some nonsense
