teddy2706 166 Posted September 2, 2015 Looking at that field, I don't think anything is clear cut! The NL Pairs is always a cracking meeting, full of upset, controversy and excitement. If the weather is kind, we know the track will be perfect and we will all be in for a real treat. I don't care who wins, so long as all of the riders go home unhurt, safe and enjoy a great meeting without untoward expense. Hopefully I will get to meet many old friends there too? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rickyb 82 Posted September 2, 2015 Anybody know how much it costs for concessions, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimmo 1,070 Posted September 2, 2015 I've not seen a concessions price quoted, which is quite unusual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00000 1,279 Posted September 3, 2015 I've not seen a concessions price quoted, which is quite unusual. Juniors £4, kids under 11 free from the advert. Looks like one price for adults, £15. Conessions for pensioners are on their way out - with the "subsidy" going to youngsters. Makes long-term sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbird 54 Posted September 4, 2015 Conessions for pensioners are on their way out - with the "subsidy" going to youngsters. Makes long-term sense. Does it? Surely long term we're all gonna be pensioners but none of us will become kids again..?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeilWatson 1,988 Posted September 4, 2015 Conessions for pensioners are on their way out - with the "subsidy" going to youngsters. Makes long-term sense. It's been our approach with Coventry Storm - over 16 pay £10, 16 and under go free. It makes it easier for a family to afford to attend and, hopefully, gets the youngsters hooked - they are the fans of the future after all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rye House do the same, adult concessions for the Rockets, one price for all adults for the Raiders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_martin 1,606 Posted September 4, 2015 Does it? Surely long term we're all gonna be pensioners but none of us will become kids again..?! Start saving then... I've been let into a fact by a PL promoter that I was chatting to that at PL admission price levels (full fare at his place = £16), the average cash in the till per supporter that the promotion gets is between £8-£9. That's the impact on a club's revenue giving discounts to pensioners is. There's a lot of places where pensioners make up the majority or a goodly proportion of the fan base, and where the "full fare" is paid by only a minority of supporters. I had to agree with him, it does not make for long term financial viability of the sport. Sounds from the above posts that there is a start being made to address this problem.

rhidassa 73 Posted September 4, 2015 So, I should be attending this to cheer Eastbourne on (whether I get a student concession or pay full adult price ). Hoping the weather is kind, though I know it won't be so kind as to be nice and warm! Hope it's a good crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping the weather is kind, though I know it won't be so kind as to be nice and warm! Hope it's a good crowd. Now you see, it would make good promotion and marketing sense for the BSPA to get into bed with the NUS, so that students could get universal discounted admission, in return for cross promotion of the sport through NUS channels...but of course that requires a little foresight and work in setting the deal up. Young adults within a few years of being "full fare payers" are what the sport should be aiming at but no-one seems to be doing it. It seems that people of student age are not as important as small kids who are 10-15 years away from paying full fare at the gate. Work that one out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
