I've got 'Welcome to the cheap seats' by The Wonderstuff featuring the wonderful Kirsty MacColl in my head now also. | |

Just to confirm - tomorrow cheap promo ticket edition on 10:13 - Oct 19 with 4831 views | Currie10 | Looks like a woeful attendance tomorrow given the offer the club are doing. A quick look at the seat map does reveal one thing though - All the posh seats X / Y / D are limited. Now I could be wrong here and putting 2 + 2 together to make 5 - however I'm going to assume this £10 seats from season ticket holders allows the person to sit in any section of Portman Road - not just the £25 ( cheap ) seats?? | | | |

You are correct, I always get my grandparents a tik each, in the posh seats. | |

Just to confirm - tomorrow cheap promo ticket edition on 10:37 - Oct 19 with 4759 views | HennikerBlu | As the tickets are only available through season ticket holders, the responsibility of passing the offer on to the public is down to them. Now I am sure many have done a great job, but my neighbour who is a ST holder (has two) wasn't aware of it. Now in fairness to him, he works bloomin hard, has kids and frankly has other priorities. If the club is serious in getting numbers back, this should have been front page of the local rags, open to anyone to buy and 'kids for a quid' on top. I think the club does a poor old job at promotion and marketing. The club is slowly slipping out of the psyche of the local community, which in fairness has a lot to do with post industrialised modern society and the Prem; but they could do more in terms of promotions and ex-pro ambassadors. | | | |

I thought as much. In which case, this really isn't going at all well. | | | |
Just to confirm - tomorrow cheap promo ticket edition on 11:52 - Oct 19 with 4671 views | textbackup | I think the club are fcking sht at advertising the fact it’s £10 a ticket. It should be all over papers, billboards (if they are serious about getting fans in) Ditch the ‘you must know a ST holder’ - make it for everyone Make it £5 for ticket, they should just say sod it and do what they can | |

Agreed, the ultimate thing that puts me off is the quality of the football - not just ITFC by the way. | | | |

I have zero experience or knowledge about selling, but I’d bet if I was put in charge of ticketing for 1 game that I’d get more fans in to PR | |

The trouble with all for a fiver is that then you have to offer the away support the same offer. Being a ST promotion makes it price controllable. I've found four fans to come along. Done my bit! | |

Just to confirm - tomorrow cheap promo ticket edition on 14:55 - Oct 19 with 4405 views | itfcjoe | The only thing I would say is why put the needless barrier of ST Holder buying tickets into place, and buying tickets in advance. Just make every ticket £10, including away fans, and allow for walk ups to buy tickets at that price too. | |

Just to confirm - tomorrow cheap promo ticket edition on 15:09 - Oct 19 with 4382 views | LeagueOne | I think there is a big failure on the clubs (and our supports) part to understand why our fanbase is the size it is now and it's not all as obvious as we're not winning football games, because even when we were in 2014 you could still pick your seat in the ground. 1. Ipswich as a town has changed in the last 20 years, as have the communities surrounding it. Many people in the Town itself, Towns outside and villages are now incomers to the area and generally do not support Ipswich Town and tend to favour supporting big clubs, an overall national change not related specifically to our club. 2. The Youth. Related to my first point is the youth in and around the Town. Most football fans view Ipswich Town in the same way say Ipswich fans viewed clubs like Yeovil back in the late 90's. We've become a footballing non-entity. You walk around Ipswich, or any of the surrounding areas and the kids have Chelsea and Manchester City shirts on. Kids play FIFA, they watch the Premier League, i'd say under the age of 25 our support base is one of the weakest in the country. They can get the train down to London to watch a big club for relatively the same cost to watch us get beaten at home by someone like Burton Albion. 3. Natural causes. It's a grim subject but our height of support were the 70's and 80's and aside from a blip of success around the turn of the century we've not grown an inch since, thuse many of our most hardcore supporters form those generations are either too old to attend or have sadly passed on. 4. The early 2000's. Between 1999-2003 we picked up a lot of the neutral support (and even the likes of Mr. Evans who actually had a Season Ticket at Chelsea at the same time) in and around the area by having played in the Premier League, had then new and attractive stadium and being relatively reasonably prices with quality footballers playing decent football. However these people were not the die hards, and after it was clear in 2005 that we weren't due to progress anytime soon they simply just stopped renewing. They are probably on the Spurs waiting list now. I expect you could drop the ticket prices to £15 a game and you would still struggle to get the numbers out, even for the derby match. It's a sad state of affairs but the club is in decline, the way to get the numbers back is obvious and straightforward on paper. Hire a world class manager, named players for over the odds prices and the interest will spark and people will turn out to see them however our owner is not minded to do that (and i'm not saying he should before anyone jumps the gun), and thus we continue to decline as we are. Modern football is a totally different beast and we've just not adapted. | |

Exactly. A lot of it was down the turgid football of MM, and to be honest the PH era hasn’t exactly got off to a flying success. If the club had tickets at £15 a match it might bring in more people, but these one off £10 a ticket for ST holders isn’t going to work long term, a permanent ticket reduction might | | | |
