Reduced Ticket Prices

[loupowell52]

I suppose it is better late than never.  Has someone finally noticed the fall in paying customers ?  Much as I hate all things Sheffield related, credit to them on their ticket pricing initiatives.  Better to have humans in seats costing a fiver than row upon row of empty seats.
I suppose it was asking too much of Panthers to implement a straight forward five pounds offer ( might get an extra quid from teens ) but they should consider a number of factors with the very poor on-ice product top of that list.  They had had opportunities to reduce prices previously but fail to consider such as school holidays and the opportunities that  they present.  Then there is the general cost of attending home games by someone bringing kids alongwith them.
Panthers management reallyhave to wake up and realise that there are so many other potential options for the public to spend their money on in terms of entertainment.

It’s just a usual half arsed “token” gesture from Panthers done to follow other teams rather than a novel new idea.
Just like the noisy block is stuck away in the gods as far away as possible.
Typical Panthers,they never do enough in anything !

Giving cheap tickets for a few games for kids is a good idea as hopefully they'll then be badgering their parents to take them more.

I know several people with kids who have been put off coming as it has been too expensive to bring several children..hopefully this can try and change this

It’s a good idea but it just widdles me off how Panthers never go the whole way, it’s always just token gestures.

As has been said, having the same income with the place near full is a better option. As long as it does not upset those that have paid upfront. I can understand if you have bought into a ST and find out that someone else can get into several games at half price. Obviously the club won't want to go down that avenue where people would then prefer that option instead of a ST another season.

Also, do the freebies get to the right people. I have read here how some of us on the cage forum have got hold of one. Say a lot of free tickets get to existing followers it's just a freebie to me or you rather than possible new fans. Might as well open the doors and say come on in and leave the regulars outside.

Like the drum/flag block it's a good idea.
Convenient timing once again in the wake of the Neil Black interview (if you can call it that).
A way for the club to distract the fans by being seen to be doing things for their benefit without actually addressing the main issue.... the product on the ice. Then again that's the one thing that would cost money. Again I'm sure that's just coincidence 😉
Both initiatives are only being done now at the clubs choosing because of the disquiet within the clubs fanbase.
If all was going well on ice & attendance wise I doubt we'd be seeing either initiative temporary or otherwise.

The trouble with the cheap tickets issue is even at reduced prices the product wasn’t worth it.

Hope Panthers continue with some further ticket deals after than their usual super £1 discount for Season Ticket holders. Introduce some worthwhile discounts to reward both regular and casual customers. Also, consider the pricing structure and shop memorabilia. Panthers prices are in a rip-off league of their own.
