I remember Boro doing something similar. What made it a disaster? Low uptake?

It was a while ago though. It's certainly worth another go.
Our season is pretty much dead. Very little chance we go up or down, and it's March!
As a season ticket holder, I'd be fully behind 'Boro issuing a discounted ticket offer for some (if not all) of the remaining home games this season.
Other than Leeds (H), I doubt we'll come remotely close to selling out.
We have back to back home games at the beginning of April:
- Monday 1st April - Sheff Wed
- Saturday 6th April - Swansea
Something similar to what Birmingham are offering might be worth it.
Didn't I tell you this after the Sunderland game, glad to see you are now on side....
Just messing with you btw, I am going to be at the match tonight......

Off the subject: but really looking forward to this "Small Town in Yorkshire" shoving a mighty spoke in Leeds promotion wheel and ruining their end-of-term-party

How many times has this been brought up ?
It's not going to happen !!!

I just don't get the logic behind only offering this type of offer to people who know season ticket holders. You could get a big group of people wanting to go for the first time and can't because they only know one session ticket holder between them (or none). It a family they has no other connection trying it out for the first time etc. It's a bit old school having to know a member to sign you in.
If you want to stay new fans then stop putting barriers up to them.

Can't recall. Vague recollection of ST holders being able to buy a discounted ticket for a friend. Don't think it was a two match special. Years ago.
Bring a mate for a tenner or something similar.

was a milwall and maybe watford game goes a while back maybe 10 years. You were left with a crap attendance after the promo and it added absolutely no value whatsoever

Ironically I think it was when Mogga was in charge. Think one of the games was a night match....
I think - but could be way off - we beat Sheff Wed in one of them. McDonald and Jutkiewicz scoring.
Attendances were quite low at the time anyway. I don't think it was a complete disaster, but it didn't make much difference to the gate. You could understand them not doing it again.
Which was a shame, because it was a really good offer.

It's to try and stop ******* off season ticket holders isn't it.
I think some do moan whenever walk up offers have been made in the past and clubs are more scared of losing ST than bothered about attracting new fans. Which is understandable, but arguably a bit short sighted.

I doubt the club will do ticket offers again.
Fans got in to the habit of only coming when there was an offer on.
Gates got down below 13k before we scrapped them.
I think most other clubs have come to the same conclusion, but Brum's owners are quite new.

They hardly did any offers, so no habit , i can remember 2 games with offers, fulham and hull in the PL which were very successful

They did offers because what was happening on the pitch was turning fans away.
At some point, they'll have lost a certain number of season ticket holders just due to the fall away that happens naturally and if they haven't replaced those numbers they'll have a choice to make on whether they try and attract new fans through offers or whether they trust what happens on the pitch to bring people in.

It was - we played Bristol City and Huddersfield as part of the deal. Bristol tonked us but we beat Huddersfield 3-0, I think Ismael Miller scored in one of them.

Probably where Im getting Sheff Wed from. Blue and white
Might have done the offer twice though? Someone else mentioned Millwall and that rings a bell.
