St.Ricky Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) I wonder how much that would cost? I wonder if we could raise the money? I wonder if we could do it through a charity we know and get gift aid on the donations? A way to support the community, combat loneliness and bridge community divisions.? Only around 1600 seats.

W6er Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 A great idea! It would be cheaper to buy it out, and the tickets could go to interested families who're experiencing hard times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) What size of fund would we need? Say 1600 seats at an average of £100 each£160,0,00 Work that back by taking off gift aid and it doesn't look too frightening. Take off the number of season ticket holders already based there and it looks even better. Advantages include not having to give away fans the seats Edited April 19, 2020 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheaper to buy family season tickets, but then again not everybody has children. Assuming the club would be willing to sell them at Early Bird prices, then: Quote Family Ticket (2 adults and up to 3 u-12s) £408* Adult £240 Concession £112 Juvenile (13-17) £41 18-21 £174 First Child (12 and under) 2 free with each adult/concession ticket *** Additional Child (12 and under) £11 Row 'A' Disabled £56 Carer Free of Charge So SMISA's £7,000 could purchase 17 Family Tickets, or 85 seats. The same money would purchase just 29 adult tickets. 1,600 x 240 = £384,000 - if all the seats were sold at adult prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives around £122,400. If done through gift aid.. Around £100k Perhaps the cheapest alternative. Edited April 19, 2020 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) £7000......85 kids. £122,000 to £130,000 for 320 Family (5) tickets or £384,000 if all adult. What we need is an Oil Industry Magnate. I can think of two. The wee man from Arbroath and my brother in law.

In crowd funding it doesn't seem to be unusual for "rewards" to be given.. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
