Now if you can put up the link that states the vaccine won't work I'd appreciate it. BTW No need for swearing, I was polite to you. Think you will find i said nothing of the sort. I said the flu vaccine isn't ever evolving. Which it isn't Link to comment

I think it's absolutely catagoric that no non season ticket holders will attend in the next 11 months minimum Rubbish, the start of next season will see fans in stadiums. Link to comment

Lets say we have 8000-10000 season tickets. how many other fans do you think will get in? I really think we wont see 15k-17k for the July euro games like we normally would (fingers crossed we qualify of course) Link to comment

sheepcrooky Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Might have been mentioned, but there are two major problems with season tickets for next year if attendance is in any doubt. 1. PPV is cheaper per game. Why would anyone buy a ST. 2. Why would a family of 4 buy 4 ST’s, when they could buy one VST or one PPV. This is not just an AFC problem, but a problem for every major club. Last season, we were all on a bit of a roll in contributing to AFC (as lots of other club supporters did as well). This season, everyone is just a bit fed up and skint (again, not just AFC fans).

The model needs ripped up and start again. Sell all the matches in one place and i'll buy it. Give it all to Sky, BT, Youtube, Amazon whomever. Make it one bundle flt all games Link to comment

Totally agree. I renewed this season knowing full well that there was a strong chance that I wouldn't get into the stadium. At the time the Red TV alternative + the club making a corresponding donation to the Community Trust was ok with me. However it is unlikely that I, personally, will be renewing. The point regarding financial means is valid. I, unfortunately, would rather spend the money on a golf club membership, which has more likelihood of being fulfilled in the year ahead. Harsh but the reality of these times which I suspect that others are most likely to be deciding upon also. Hence would predict that season tickets will reduce closer to 5k than 10k. Link to comment

Could increase the price of PPV to above a ticket price to compensate for lost revenue at game through other mediums such as Match day programme.

Tord31 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think AFC will explore the PPV much more in the future. Unfortunately when life gets back to normal we won't initially control the league games but we will have full control of euro qualifiers and some control of home cup games. Link to comment

I could see a mixed model being adopted next season due to crowd size uncertainty A certain number of season tickets on sale on a first come first serve basis. Then later an announcement of PPV for others. Probably at a higher price than the current £9.99/£12.99. Maybe even some PPV bundle options for non season ticket holders. Link to comment

Surely the law about not being able to show 3pm kick offs in the UK would inhibit that I assumed it was only relaxed due to covid Aye it was only relaxed due to covid. Just think they might need a hybrid model for clubs to get them through another season. Pure speculation on my part Link to comment
