In what world do the clowns running the show think they deserve a 10% increase in ticket revenue.

1% ticket increase per win in 2024.
What a great way to make the game day experience even less void of Titans fans.
Shouldn't we have won about 2 premierships and been selling out CBUS every week by now Steve? Can we get someone in charge who knows what they are doing?

Stadium is run by stadiums qld so they don’t have a say in the ticket pricing if stadium qld org is putting up their fees
They also have to pay their direct event staff more per cpi and have other fees like interest staff and maintenance for the stadium

1 Good for Stadiums Qld - surely they have a lease with the Titans with increases stipulated. If the Titans agreed to an 8.5% increase PA it explains why we've been a shit show since 2011/Not our problem as fans.
2 You tell me staff are getting an 8.5% pay rise and I'll show you a liar

Every single club in a pro league in Australia probably has those plans/corporate speech, right now lofty goals for this club is winning seasons IMO hahaha. I don't get 2030? Why not goals for 2026? That's when everyone signed is signed for including the coach. What happens if all these people get fired? Does it turn into a 2035 thing and go back another 5 years?
It's 4 years since the article Birdman posted and we're no further ahead on the ladder, Yes the team has shown glimpes but that's not totally different to the last 4 years. I think the club/ownership have righted a lot of the wrongs of the previous owners and think we're in the best spot we've ever been off field with our juniors, representation in the community gaining fans and gamedays are great fun and everything else.
At the end of the day, It's a sports team and we need to win. We snuck into 8th twice with losing seasons in 16 and 21 and we're because we're not in Sydney and noone in the media is a fan of us besides the 7 chick, That's the difference between us and the Tigers who get picked on constantly in media, They were 9th probably in those seasons so not far off.
What happens next year when they raise it again like last year because would not shock me a bit if we're having this same discussion in the same place and we're all being asked for another gain but also...... Wtf will they do if we get good?

You know that increases of a couple percent across multiple cost units would make a higher increase in the end product right
ie. 3% more to the stadium, 3% more to staff, 2% due to currency devaluation and inflation etc etc

100% but the clubs also asking for money from everyone else as well, They are asking for a massive development fund for an excelence centre which is local community money which is fine to a certain point, More from the NRL which is fine and ask for more but I do start having to ask questions when we keep losing and the price keeps going up. At the end of the day the teams results mostly IMO are what our crowds depend on, Look at after the Broncos game and that run we had, We apparently had 13.2k at the game on Friday ay 6pm... That's insanely good tbh and rocking for a 6pm game and everyone was hyped and on a roll then they dish out crap.
They are also getting more from the NRL then ever while running 2 netball teams when the sport is broke and barely any money coming in at the high level let alone the state levels along NRLW team which is awesome but IMO there's a discussion maybe to be had around spreading ourselves and being to ambitious. They are applying for a Netball franchise, The sport currently has no money and is a money drain when 100's of thousands alone really matter.
They keep going for really high ambitions which is admirable but how about gettting the foundations right first imo.
I'm 100% OK with paying a bit extra because the crowds have been bigger and I couldn't compliment the Titans staff and helpers enough as someone with a disabled person with me, The club is insanely good at handling everything from the day staff to the staff at the office, Legit the easiest people to deal with ever.
I'll also be real... \, I'm fine with them running a netball team but I think the club is spreading itself to thin and to ambitious... Collingwood and as big as they are, Their Netball teams went bankrupt and defunct in the domestic leagues....
Like I said as well, Do we expect the prices to stay the same if we're good? I'm heading tomorrow with a Roosters mate and it was only 5 bucks more to buy better seats in the Roosters section.

Yes mate. Ever notice how federal treasurers always make commitments/forecasts 4+ years ahead? 3 year terms, that's why.
IMO Sports Administrators are some of the stupidest, greediest, most incompetent and short term fixated losers I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. Right up there with politicians.
Our game isn't a democracy (whatever that means anymore) and the winners take all. Unfortunately, those winners have nothing to do with the players, clubs and fans. They really couldn't care less about our game.

I love when fans on all media find out about Aineshole being a SCUM polly because they all say he talks like one..... Yeah we dealt with him. I really don't like Ainsely despite helping us through our darkest period, DORK.
I miss old Miami/Burleigh/Palmy... The whole place has been gentrified to hell under dodgy Tate and councillers but most of all the housing and I'll bring it back to our club and getting players in. I lived next to Proctor in a good spot, That can't happen anymore. The housing around here has grown so much and for players to move up or take the risk it's not worth it potentially.
Unless you're on pretty serious money you're not getting a place close to the beach like you used to and AJ menttioned that everyone besides him, Verrills, Foz and CG didn't live near the beach compared to 5+ years ago, it was all for grabs years on a nrl contract and businesses like Birdys missus at Nobbys beach front were sweet and investments around the area that have gone away.
Now it's really hard to actually move to a good spot unless you have legit money and the prices have only gone up... Which makes deals around top 30 harder imo, the prices around living are the same so why bother with the move. Roosters for instance apparently bought a complete block of housing out for their junior teams, I don't expect that but that's what we're dealing with and a lot of the other teams are doing the same.

It generally averages out as a percentage increase. If transport costs go up 5%, wages 4%, and materials 6%, that doesn't mean your costs have gone up 15% lol.
Assuming in theory all costs are roughly equal then your increase would average out to be 5% across those cost factors, not 15%.
Thus why our rates haven't gone up 8.5% despite many of the council cost bases all going up by varying percentages.
There's no world where the Titans can reasonably justify an 8.5% increase in ticket price, particularly when the NRL club grant effectively pays for most of if not all of the playing staff salaries and particularly since we've been utter garbage since 2011. By all means if they want to play in an empty stadium most weeks and kill revenue I guess it is a great idea.

100%. I know Erin Clark was based up Coomera/Pimpama way and Herbert when he was with us was looking at real estate in that neck of the woods too. No bank is going to lend $1.5 million to a 21 year old winger/centre on a 2 year $250k PA contract to buy a house near the beach at Burleigh or Miami.

Ryan James as a rookie bought a house in Miami and sold it for insane profit along with units.. Kane Elgey is doing really well of his career and timing in the housing market, Srama started a podcast he's been that good at it.

Thats not correct. The 3 per cent in your example is applied to the sub component and not the total nor is it compounded. If a ticket selling for $300 is made up of $100 for wages, $100 for other costs and $100 for profit , and that wages, other costs and profit all went up by 3 per cent each, then the wages cost increase is $3 (ie 3 per cent of the wages cost of $100.). The same calculation is applied to both other costs and profits. The overall increase of $9 still only results in an overall increase of 3 per cent ($309/$300) and not some compounded figure.

Just adding my 2 cents to the whole discourse over the Titans players brushing fans off & the lack of care from staff, etc. that was being said in the Roosters thread, but posting here as it feels like the more correct thread now that game is long over:
I have been a member for a long time now. Have had seats in the Premium seating bay next to the Titans dug out for 12+ years. Never have received a single signature, photo, etc. from any player. Ever. I do not have the luxury of being able to go from the games straight to Parkwood for the occasional fan signing session due to other commitments that unfortunately have prevented it so far.
I always try to stay 100% positive about this team—despite occasionally wanting to send certain players into orbit every game (looking at you, BK). I truly believe that one day everything will come together, and we'll see the Titans lift the trophy. However, it would mean a lot to me if the club genuinely acknowledged the time, effort, and money I’ve sacrificed, especially in recent years. I want to feel like more than just a number when I receive those automated emails thanking me for my commitment. I see videos of players calling members, but I’ve never received that call. I see members being invited into the sheds after games, even picked out of the crowd for it, but I've never been asked. I see the preseason launches and post-season awards being member events, yet I've never been invited, despite being a loyal member for over a decade.
This next part is a bit personal, and if it’s not appropriate for this thread, please let me know, and I’ll remove it. I’m sharing it to give some perspective.
Between 2020 and 2023, I was on the brink of homelessness due to circumstances beyond my control. There were times when I was in and out of shelters, sleeping in parks, or couch surfing with friends. I was fortunate enough to have a job that provided access to amenities, but I was still struggling, moving between share homes, many of which were far from ideal. Despite all this, I made sure to keep up with my membership payments. People in my life thought I was crazy for prioritising stadium seats over essentials, but footy was my escape. It was the one thing that kept me going. I chose to pay for my membership even when it meant going without essentials, including groceries on a few occasions. Going to the games with my mates allowed me to forget about the struggles, if only for a while.
I’m in a much better place now. I have a rental & genuine housemates, a car, and a new job that pays very well, and will actually be able to pay for the membership renewal upfront for the first time.
Despite everything I’ve been through, I’ve always shown up to support the club, the team, and the community. I’ve stayed loyal, even though the administration seems to value my money more than my loyalty. That above all is what disappoints me the most - that I can sacrifice a lot and still only ever be seen as a number, and not a name. I just want my picture with Moe and his signature, dammit!
Albeit, my experience with being acknowledged as a member has been for a lack of better words, sh!t. Hell, with my experiences of not being acknowledged by the club for certain things, normal people would give it up. But since we are Titans fans, there's nothing normal about us since we actively still support the team after so many years of mediocrity XD
As much as I want to be acknowledged in some capacity by the club, I am not a begger, and will just patiently wait my turn, if it ever comes. But at the end of the day, I’ll keep showing up. Because this is my team. They’re the team I look forward to watching each week, the team I’ve invested so much time and passion into, the team I’ll grow old supporting and pass onto my kids, including the constant trauma of being mediocre. I’m ensuring I live long enough for the day we finally win the big one and lift that trophy. I can’t and won’t support anyone else. So no matter what life throws at me or how little the club acknowledges my existence, I’ll be there at every home game, cheering as loud as I can.

You are true Titans champion Appsy and your story inspirational.
In regards to you not being invited to members events, you should get in touch with the membership department-as there is 2 functions per year that members with 10 + years membership get invited to. The last one was on 12 June at Parkwood and members can get photos taken with players. My wife had photos taken with Tino, Erin, Foz and her new favourite Keono. .
Keep up that great spirit and loyalty but ensure you get your entitlements of your hard earned cash.
