For certain games if we have loads of tickets left 24 hour befor kickoff would it be a bad business model to offload them cheap ?
Airlines, Hotels,Restaurants,Supermarkets,Holliday companies & am sure other sporting bodies also offer discount to get shut if they not selling well
Not talking about a regular thing but if it obvious a night game against say Burnley ain't selling well would you rather fans got tickets at a discount or the Club didn't get any revenue for un sold tickets
It would make business sense as people buying tickets might also buy other stuff in the ground
If say 500 were sold at £20 each it is a few extra bob in the coffers
Supose some will think it a good idea while people paying full price won't

Don't airlines, the budget ones anyway, work the other way round, cheap tickets sold first then last minute bookers get the expensive one ?

City already discount tickets on a somewhat random basis. Tickets on my row in EL3 for Southampton that originally sold at £53 for adults are now £45 on the ticket site. Seats on the section of 303 closer to the front are down to £30.
 
easy just bring back the walk up fans and pay on the gate

so so simple in modern life to pay by card or mobile or even cash at the turnstile ?
just have a person outside with a passkey and a card reader and a cashbox job done

If that happened people would just wait until 24 hours before if they knew they could get a cheap ticket. Our ticket office can’t cope sending tickets out days before never mind less than a day !
