We have 87 days for people to get their £50 deposits in to determine the price of the 2017/18 Season Tickets.
Average amount of daily sales required by 21st June to hit the targets:
2000 (£250): 23
2500 (£200): 29
3000 (£150): 35
4000 (£110): 46
Keeping a track of this really helped ramp up the interest when Hartlepool fans did it, so hopefully it'll have a similar effect. Debate the numbers here over the next week, then we can add the figures once sales commence. |  |

The last 2-3 weeks have been pretty fraught, news-wise, and right now the general election is upon us. People are distracted, and/or on holiday
Starting next Monday is a chance for one final push. Irrespective of pretty much everything that's been said so far, the offer is still a very good deal for anyone who wants to watch live football locally
The questions you've posed are valid, but we all know we won't get an answer. The only question that remains is: have the club been keeping their powder dry until after the election and will that result in a final push from next week? |
Indeed, there may well be some really good ideas yet to come, ones which have been acknowledged may be on the way throughout the whole campaign by those fans fully behind what the club are trying to achieve.
As you say, the questions are valid and the answers should be ones the club know in detail. It's that those answers have seen a worryingly low amount of sales since a really positive change to the offer, with little in response in terms of consistent promotion and reaction to those numbers not going up as much as we'd all want.
There's still time. We will continue to support the initiative until the end and hope that things change again. | |

I haven't given much input into this continuing debate so I'll throw in my current position. After last seasons debacle with season tickets I didn't purchase one purely on principle. I said I'd probably only attend 6 home games and that would mean a loss to the club of a couple of hundred quid. In the end I went to 3 home games, and if I'm honest I didn't miss it at all....Now onto this season and what I thought was an offer which was to good to miss, 4k should have been achievable and at £110 it was an amazing offer. I put 2 deposits down thinking it couldn't fail. As it stands it's going to cost £500 so I will be losing 2 deposits because I'm not paying that amount.....The cost should have been fixed at £110 from day 1 instead of this half arsed way of doing things....if you're going to offer an amazing deal don't put so many bloody hurdles in the way of getting that deal...it will be 2 or 3 games for me again this season....I've lost a hundred quid, the club lose support and some good will.... |  |

That's such a shame hopefully some form of miracle happens, to restore your faith. Although your fellow fans not getting behind the initiative haven't helped either |  | | |

Sure, it is a very good deal at £250 vs last year's full price ST for those who love watching Dale. This wording was chosen carefully.
You also have to put that into the historical context of the 1/2 ST offer. Last year it was £100 to watch 11 games. 1850 people signed up. This year it promises to be £250 to watch 23 games, i.e. more expensive for the 500 who bought 1/2 STs, and as DDB rightly points out, even if it was to go down to £200, you can still buy a ST just before the season starts at £250.
As of now, 1686 people thought this season's ST offer might be good. Sure as eggs is eggs though, not all those will pay the balance. I include myself in this number as it will be borderline worth it vs p-o-t-d? I'm sure there will be plenty more like me and Moony x2 as well. The proof of how good this offer is to "casual" fans is in the sales figures. Aren't we supposed to be increasing the crowd?

250 quid is only a good deal to CURRENT ticket holders,it's certainly not to a floater fan who attends as and when or someone contemplating buying one,I'm in exactly the same boat and at that price I'd rather pick and choose my games again,and still be better off.
The aim of the promotion was surely to attract NEW fans not just reduce the price to the current fan base.
Had the price been set at £110 I'd have snapped their hand off as would literally hundreds of others,as mentioned previously its VERY easy to get out of the habit and I don't miss the times I don't attend one bit as sad as that sounds.... | | | |

Danny I am well aware of the prices per game at the different rates that a season ticket might end up at....Not the point, and putting you response in Caps doesn't make your opinion more valid, just makes you look slightly immature...I don't need your permission to post anything I like on any thread I like, and if my opinion brings you down then might I suggest you need a hug from a family member...And your maths are a little off. How does attending 2 or 3 games cost me £506 ?That only works if I choose to attend every home game paying full price on the gate and as I have said I won't be attending every game...Your point is moot. Now I am aware that this post might make you feel dragged down and weighted with negativity so apologies for that.....I hear there are some good therapists available to deal with that kind of thing....Off you pop... | |

£250 is a good price. £110 much more attractive. I live in Sussex and would definitely buy a £110 or even £150 season ticket due to the number of games I could attend. I am sorry but I don't want to risk the £50 deposit with numbers so far off. If the deposit had some value if I didn't pay balance. Even a 50% discount from the club shop would soften the blow. | | | |

Well said mate. The people who have already left deposits, well done to you also.
I am not going to criticize the the club regarding season tickets. Why should I? Next season I will be watching League 1 football for half the price of last season, possibly even less. Brilliant.
The problem lies with the public of Rochdale, who for some reason, wouldn't recognise an outstanding offer if it hit them in the face.
It's these people who will ultimately decide the final price. So instead of thinking about it, get a deposit paid and enjoy the football that Mr Keith Hill provides for us season in, season out, on one of the lowest budgets in the entire football league.
People who live in towns that don't have a local football team to support must be envious of us having a professional football club in our town, just two divisions down from the toughest league in the world. | |

A sale is only a sale when its paid for!
How many of the 1686 or final figure will not pay the remainder and lose the deposit? Judging by some comments over these 28 pages, a fair few. Why? That's what the club should be asking.
Those who have made such comments have in the first place travelled to the club/logged in online to pay a deposit, that's 'buy in and interest in what's for sale'.
There's businessmen in charge of the club, some very successful and experienced ones, this project was never going to reach 4k, and I hazard a guess that was known after 2-4weeks worth of sales. Then was the time to do something, now it is too late*
All the club have done is further make it undesirable to pay a deposit, correct me if I'm wrong here but...... Get to 2000 sales (not a hope in hell based on current projection) and its £200, don't get to 2000 sales and its £250 whether before or after the deadline.
If I was (I'm not as I have paid a deposit) a floater, lapsed supporter, disgruntled ex ST holder) what reason have I got to 'buy a deposit'? Just wait and I'll end up paying the same regardless.
*IMO the chance of 4k has gone, dropping the price to £110 tomorrow would no doubt have a surge in sales, but not another 2314! You see people who at the start of this would have parted with £50 based on a ticket at £110 have long since re-directed/used that money on other things.
This is my opinion, and I think the idea and thought has been first class....the execution poor! This concept was to increase attendance, it had the potential to do just that. What an absolute shame that in these most financially stable of times for the club, they haven't gambled.....but expected their fan base to do just that.
For what it is worth, as I say I paid my £50 and I will pay the difference in exchange for a ticket, whatever that may be. If as projected its £250 happy days I've saved money. But I was going to buy one anyway, yet I'll look around at our first league game, watching a committed young vibrant team, excellent manager, as fine a chairman you could have, our own ground.....and then the normal 'empty spaces'. In the words of the waiter to George Best, where did it all go wrong?

But doing very little over two weeks on the back of changing the offer to '£200 at 2000 sales' is baffling.
Something that has been backed up by the sales numbers. | |

Your positivity through this has been first class 442, its just a shame the idea wasn't backed with as much effort by the very people employed at the club to do just that.
As a previous ST holder,granted not for a while due to various reasons, ive been waiting for the club to entice me back into the habit, as things currently stand that feels highly unlikely...... | | | |

I am not convinced that dropping to £110 and extending the deadline wouldn't get us there or thereabouts, but if we don't try, we'll never know. At the very least, the club would then have three points of reference - the 2016-17 numbers at the start of the season, this number + half ST sales, and finally a potential season with £110 as a ST price. It would give (more or less) min, midpoint and max crowds at the different price points and would be of great value to help to determine costs of STs from the season after next.
Another point that I was thinking about. We are trying to encourage Master and Miss Robinson to come to the games for a season for a tenner if under 11yo. Most or all of that potential audience will need to have an accompanying adult. That's a £250 on top for Mr Robinson. If that was £110, then maybe Mrs. Robinson would come along too. Instead of £270 for 3 it could be £240 for 4. All will need refreshment and may even buy some merchandise too. It's what the offer was designed to do but hasn't done - make footy very affordable for everyone. For a family of 4 to know that they have most of the cost of Saturday afternoon's entertainment prepaid for more or less every other week for ~3/4 of the year might just make parents think yeah, that's a pretty good idea. Save Mrs Robinson staying at home bothering those graduates too. | |

Alluded to this further up but for me, we can talk about various different strategies that the club should have done, but for me, the one thing we should be doing beyond anything else is preaching to the (one time) converted.
It was stated that we have 400 season tickets holders yet to renew. It goes beyond obvious that these should be getting contacted directly by the club to pursue sales - we cannot just await people to approach the club.
Going further back, I reckon there's possibly another thousand supporters plus who have had a season ticket in the past ten years but have not renewed. It's a better deal than the one they paid full price for, so surely this should be something they can be talked into.
My Dad had a half season ticket back in 2009-10, and when getting my season ticket, they brought his details up by mistake, so the club have got all the historical details that they need on past season ticket holders. But he's not been contacted and I've not heard of anyone else being contacted. Have any lapsed season ticket holders been contacted directly by the club? |  | | |

Therein lies the problem. It hasn't hit them in the face, a lot of people I talk to don't even know about it. It's been a half arsed effort by the club to advertise this, there's barely anything around the town centre anymore, what is there is on the original terms not the new ones, go a mile or 5 away from the town centre (where most of the target audience actually live) and there's sweet FA.
No advertising in local clubs or societies that I've seen or heard of, council tax leaflets were handed out to everyone in the town centre area, why not the entirety of the Borough, everyone caught under Rochdale's council tax?
It was a great idea and 95% of people were behind it at the start. You can argue it should have been £110 and pushed as much as they can. The reality is, whilst it was a great idea, it has been horrendously executed and for the last month all there's been is the odd update on Facebook or Twitter, where you're preaching to the converted.
I've put my deposit down, would I if I was a floating fan or someone who hadn't had a season ticket before? Probably not no. The club have to look where this has gone wrong and address it, whether they do or not will be a different story. | | | |

We play football, 6-a-side, on a Monday, just friendly ish. We have a WhatsApp group with about 20 of us on where our players are chosen from for the Monday. All football fans supporting, in the main, Utd, City, Rochdale and Liverpool. Most, if not all, have been to the Dale previously and attend the occasional game at their supported clubs, some more regular than others.
We have discussed the RAFC season ticket initiative and all but one have said they would purchase a ST if the final price was £110, as it is tremendous value and the way the club are progressing recently, this would inspire them to attend to watch some quality, local live football.
There are 8 pitches up at milnrow playing from 6-10pm, that's 32 matches an evening with potentially over 320 players (some pitches are bigger). Over 5 days you'd have potentilla 1500 players. There is also Castleton, not sure how big but potentially similar. These are very approx figures obviously, but gives an idea ish.
That's a lot of people possibly thinking similar to us. Let's have these tickets priced at £110 for a month, it's got to be worth a shot, at least the club will be seen to have really thrown the boat out and tried!
Would it be worth selling tickets in those 5-a-side complex's? Not sure on the logistics of it, but may be worth setting something up so deposits can be taken, get plenty of posters up etc... target audience and all that. |  |

We play football, 6-a-side, on a Monday, just friendly ish. We have a WhatsApp group with about 20 of us on where our players are chosen from for the Monday. All football fans supporting, in the main, Utd, City, Rochdale and Liverpool. Most, if not all, have been to the Dale previously and attend the occasional game at their supported clubs, some more regular than others.
We have discussed the RAFC season ticket initiative and all but one have said they would purchase a ST if the final price was £110, as it is tremendous value and the way the club are progressing recently, this would inspire them to attend to watch some quality, local live football.
There are 8 pitches up at milnrow playing from 6-10pm, that's 32 matches an evening with potentially over 320 players (some pitches are bigger). Over 5 days you'd have potentilla 1500 players. There is also Castleton, not sure how big but potentially similar. These are very approx figures obviously, but gives an idea ish.

I live outside Rochdale 20 miles away so its not easy sometimes getting there. the £50 non returnable deposit is a joke so that's put me off ,but if they said £110 I would have one today.... |  |

Quite frankly that's shocking, does this number include those given to local businesses ? And given that some will lose their deposits the numbers could be well below 1700. Time for a poll to assess how many are considering letting their £50 go maybe?... | |

To be fair they'd sold 1686 as of Tuesday so that's, well, some sales over the last three days.
We needed to average 21 sales a day over the remaining 15 days when that figure was announced on Wednesday morning (the first update in a week), so by last night we needed to be at 1749 sales to be on target - which we can safely assume the club are fully aware of. As they haven't been specific with the number, again, we can only hope that it's around 1750 or that today's sales see the figure rise to 1770 to be on track.
Presumably an accurate figure will be announced later to illustrate the effectiveness of the campaign and the promotion of today's extra opening hours at the ticket office. | |
