iSelect launch 'Home Win Guarantee' for fans

The Jetstar Gold Coast Titans and Premier Partner iSelect have launched what is believed to be a world first ticketing initiative for Saturday?s clash against the Storm at Skilled Park which will see fans offered a free ticket to the club?s next home game if the team does not celebrate a win.

The iSelect ?Home Win Guarantee?? creates a ?win-win? situation for Titans fans, with those that attend the Storm match at Skilled Park either celebrating a victory with their team or given free tickets to the club?s next assignment against the Bulldogs in Round 5 (Sunday, April 1).

It is believed to be the first time in sporting history that such a ?win guarantee? has been made by a sporting organisation or one of its major sponsors.

The promotion, which will act as a one-off for this weekend?s match, is open to only fans who have paid for a ticket in the general seating bowl to this Saturday?s home match against the Storm.

The concept is the brainchild of iSelect Chief Marketing Officer David May, who passionately felt the club needed more support in the stands from the Gold Coast community to start the 2012 season.

?We?re excited about the Titans. They had a great off-season, a fantastic win against the Cowboys, and we?re now looking forward to a win against the Storm,?? said May.

?The iSelect Home Win Guarantee is about us working with the Gold Coast community and backing the Titans to beat the Storm. We might be from Melbourne, but we?re backing the Titans to win.??

Jetstar Titans Managing Director Michael Searle said it was exciting to see the club?s sponsors showing their passion for the club with such an innovative concept.

?This is a unique ?win-win? situation for everyone that will hopefully encourage more fans to get to the game on Saturday to cheer on their team,?? said Searle.

?The team is working hard both on and off the field and it is innovative solutions like this that can provide comfort for fans in the knowledge that we are all in this together.

?We understand that some fans simply cannot afford to go to the football on a regular basis so hopefully an offer like this will encourage them to do so because they will either be celebrating a win or coming back again in two weeks time.?

The Titans take on the Storm at 4.30pm (QLD time) on Saturday, with gates opening at 2.10pm prior to the kick-off in the Under-20s curtain raiser at 2.15pm.

Well done it's a fantastic initiative from the club

[lonegull]

great news, its is great to see the sponsor trying to help out and promote the game

[Princey's Titanz]

im guessing we are pretty much giving away free tickets to the Bulldogs - Titans game...

[Greg81]

I dont know what to make of this. Are we reeking of confidence or desperation?

I think it's a good idea to lift crowd numbers for a home game...hopefully it inspires the players for a win against the Storm.

[DIEHARD]

Great idea, fans wanna see more fans.

I hope the Members are looked after as well.

[TITAN PETE]

The players may have a carrot dangled in front of their noses too , the club has the potential of a $200000 to $300000 loss from giving away free tickets so what are the chances of the players being offered maybe a Winning Bonus

[DIEHARD]

Members will receive an offer tomorrow.

[Steelers]

The bookies would say so.

[DIEHARD]

Members are also entitled to redeem the free ticket offer in the event that the Jetstar Titans are not victorious tomorrow night.

Member tickets cannot be redeemed on the concourse after the game. To redeem, members must report in person to the Titans Merchandise shop at the Centre of Excellence from Tuesday 20th March – Thursday 22nd March 11am - 3pm and Friday 23rd March 9am-5pm. Tickets will be issued on a one for one basis and are available in the ‘Gold’ and ‘Steel’ category on a first in first served basis. Seating is issued at the discretion of the club and cannot be allocated adjacent to existing member allocations

[DIEHARD]

I have to say that I am pissed off that as a Member I need to present myself during the week to collect my tickets. Especially considering I live in Brisbane.

Also pissed off to see all the Storm fans and non-members get their free tickets after the game.

Obviously the Members deal component was a last minute idea. Which should have been their first idea. I know we want the ones that dont come, but seriously Members know the fans that dont show up, they are in our circles.

*sigh*

The club is lucky it was $hitty weather and not many made it to the game.. Lets hope the warriors will play us into some topline attacking form! maybe

It's gonna be another extraordinarily tough game, but we can do it and the Warriors, as you say, may bring something good out of us.

[DIEHARD]

A win against the Bulldogs, their huge SEQLD supporter base, the ticket deal and Titans fans coming back will establish a great crowd.
