'Dynamic Pricing'

[ParkerPen]

you can just, you know, not buy ? dynamically.

Why do people get so vexed when this hasn't even been suggested by the club and the fact about 78% of tickets are STHs and away fans means there'd only be a marginal gain for them.

I’m pretty sure Derby did this about 10-11 years ago.

Derby, Cardiff, Bristol City

I'm seriously tempted to just start watching my local non-league side. Standing, able to have a beer while watching the game, and not going to get fleeced for the price of a ticket.

 

A mass drop-off in attendance would make a huge difference as it would affect 'the product' all club owners are so keen to exploit. It's the only way.

It's also worth remembering that Fortuna Dusseldorf are making 4 home games free for all this season, with the eventual aim of making all home games free of charge, offsetting the drop in revenue by acquiring more long-term sponsors.

The likes of Ryanair and Easyjet have been doing this sort of thing for years. As more and more seats get filled the prices start to increase. Also a flight from Faro to EMEA could be say £99 yet on the same day the reverse flight could be up to £250.  They obviously must move the airports further away on that journey. 

This is one of the most basic posts I've seen on this forum

Vote with your feet and your wallet.

 

Wouldn't it be magical (should this be introduced) on a day when City are playing at home, teams like Shepshed, Oadby and Anstey Nomads getting crowds of a couple of thousand, while the KP is empty.

Are we guaranteed dynamic football?

Fundamental difference between football and holidays, though. 

One of them is fun??

Basically dynamic pricing is legalised touting

I'd have thought it was a reasonable comparison to make.

 

The problem for clubs is the emotional investment of supporters, we don't complain about the price of jeans in John Lewis but every decision a football club makes is under scrutiny from supporters.

There is a certain sense in it (clearly it's almost entirely about milking the event) if tickets are priced at the maximum level people are prepared to pay, touts are less likely to get involved.

I did the maths and I could get about 10 games of my local non league for the cost of ticket+travel+membership of 1 City game this year. 

 

Or 4 games of my local League One side. 

 

Same here!

I’ve already lost interest in going this season, I popped my ticket on the official exchange on Saturday and went non-league instead.

 

Only downside is that’s 4 of my 5 official allowances to sell officially gone already!

Dynamic pricing would need to reflect the football surely. Fans would be being charge 38 pence if it was aligned with Cooper's football

[Collymore]

Think they'd be paying us.

Can we go back to the days where you had to queue up physically with other people, paid the same price as the person who'd be sitting next to you, and get a physical ticket you can keep as a souvenir?

 

Dynamic pricing is absolutely disgraceful.

The days when my dad went to Filbert Street in his lunch break at the Poly to buy tickets but couldn't open the door to the ticket office, only to be assisted by Jock Wallace who appeared from nowhere.

 

Football is pushing beyond the limits of what many people will reasonably tolerate.

you are guaranteed a dynamic fan experience passing clappers back and forth.

The government are not and should not interfere with event pricing, whether that is football or Oasis.  What should happen of course is people should not pay the ****ing stupid prices.

Agree. But unfortunately won’t ever happen. 
 

Clubs don’t care who is coming through the gate, and there will always be someone that will pay in this day and age. Usually tourists. 

[phoneticerror]

I refuse to pay dynamic pricing for anything 

[RowlattsFox]

They'd have to encourage general sale first 

[RowlattsFox]

Its been going on for years in other areas, perhaps without you generally noticing but as with everything, it goes too far once and everyone jumps on it and it will get changed. 

 

Same goes for hotels in big cities when events are on, holidays during the school holidays etc
