Offering a discount for tickets bought in this period is just one way of 'evening out the cashflow' as few would bother until the last minute, without the incentive.
To be clear, I'm not referring to the early bird on season tickets, I totally get the reasoning for that and tend to agree with it.
It's the per-game tickets that I mean. Where I can't see them getting the money on Thursday instead of Sunday makes a massive difference. The only real logic I can see is that if they get most people buying in advance, they have a better idea of how many are turning up and therefore what staff to put on. But I tend to agree with Bull Mania, it's going to have the effect to put some poeple off going entirely.
Do they do it in other sports or is it just RL? (Genuine question, I don't attend any other sports)
