Season Seven Seat Reservation
AceOnTheRiver:
Perceived value is a funny thing...
When I read abut the £5 extra idea I thought, "I don"t like it" and if I"m honest I still don"t primarily for the reasons stated around attracting new members etc.
However I do like the membership idea with a fee attached with one of the benefits being the members-only pre-sale idea. Don R has put this idea forward already and I don"t see why it cannot work (if it can"t can someone tell me why).
I think it should be a straight forward members / non-members approach, getting into associate members, gold, silver, bronze etc. would be complex (don"t walk before you can run).
Most football & rugby clubs do this where there would be one week before the public sale date to but your seat... membership should also carry other benefits e.g. discounts from APAT merchandise (can APAT facilitate this?) and a small limited edition gift.

I"ll relook at all of the options JP but there isn"t an ideal answer that ticks all of the boxes, even in my own initial suggestion. We have until the S7 announcement to come up with the answer, I would imagine a few days.
MAIR:
£5 to reserve a seat seems fair to me.
Im a single mum with a young family and it sometimes prevents me from being 100% sure that I can attend and it is usually last minute before I know for sure, to me being able to reserve my seat and it only costing me a fiver and guaranteeing me a place, lets me at least book my hotel in advance and get it cheap on a flexible rate, then travel costs can be arranged when I know 100% I can go. If I can"t go, losing a fiver is worth it IMO, these guys work their backsides off behind the scenes and it all helps to cover admin costs etc.
its a packet of cigs to me, if i can buy a packet of cigs a day, i can use a fiver to reserve my seat once every couple of months towards an event i really wanna go to, if i go i get it back (win win) if i cant go, then im happy to put it in the admin pot for reserving the seat
I probably dont make sense but really im wondering what all the fuss is about, when I go to events I see peeps knocking back the beers and smoking their wee hearts out, reserving a seat for £5 well cmon its not the end of the world and £5 in this day and age isnt worth all that much in todays living costs but its worth a lot to APAT to keep things running as smoothly as possible for the players and themselves and it guarantees a seat! People go on and on about what other casinos/sites do and how APAT are asking too much. APAT are always thinking of the players, never about themselves and anything they suggest is in the best interest of APAT and the players and to be coming forward and asking for opinions shows how much we mean to them as a community
