latter day saint Posted 28 February, 2012 Share Posted 28 February, 2012 What? i'm glad you said that,as i read it & thought WTF ? but then thought i must be missing something obvious ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerone Posted 28 February, 2012 Share Posted 28 February, 2012 it is only a thought.....clubs can sell tickets in advance to ticket agents (similar to what Rangers did). they pay say 20 Million quid up front for 25 Million worth of ticket sales. they then get to sell the tickets to the fans. saints benefit from the money up front and invest this so as to move forward. I have not bothered to check out the company putting this system in or what they do outside of this but could this be one of those types of deals? are this company purely a system installer or is there more to them than that? just asking a question......

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 27 March, 2012 Share Posted 27 March, 2012 Interesting article on it here: http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/new_addition_at_southampton_highlights_premier_league_ambitions/?utm_source=Feeds&utm_campaign=Latest+News&utm_medium=rss Specifically: The agreement coincides with the club confirming the introduction of a new access control system at its St Mary’s home. Together with ProVenueX, Southampton will launch a new loyalty point scheme at the start of next season, enabling fans to collect points on all club-related purchases which can then be redeemed against priority bookings and ticket allocation.

Nexstar Posted 27 March, 2012 Share Posted 27 March, 2012 I imagine actually attending a game will considerably outweigh any points gained for purchasing merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eelpie Posted 27 March, 2012 Share Posted 27 March, 2012 I hope they will give refunds (including proportional ST costs) when match dates are changed to dates that punters cannot attend (just like other entertainment ie theatre tickets). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
