If the Phoenix were to allocate some free home game tickets to
school children - what would be the best way to go about it?
Through the schools (maybe via some sort of competition)? Kids free
with an adult?
Interested to hear from supporters of other A League teams to
hear about what they have done.

I remember they handed a whole lot out to Junior football clubs and
they distributed them for teams way back when the Kingz existed. I
got 1 that way wasn't too bad behind the goal where the Kingz
scored to win 1 nil.
I think it would be a good idea if the Phoenix contacted local
Church's youth groups, so the kids and teenagers could go to some
home games as a youth group activity. I also think handing out some
free tickets at schools/football clubs to be distributed through
competitions is a good idea aswell.
Great idea but it needs to be done not just through football
clubs,we need to hook as many new fans as we can.The Breeze has a
fairly active childrens club maybe other stations do as
well.That way its also getting free airtime as well.
GET YOUR SHIRTS OFF FOR THE BOYS
Also do crap like giving out free 4 people passes on radio stations
by talkback radio or questionaire etc.
Either through the clubs they play through, and/or schools. Would
be a good idea to do a partner thing with a company, ex, McDonalds,
with every Happy Meal, buy a Pheonix ticket for just 2
dollars...some sh*t like that.
Now why didn't they do that with the Knights? It would have made a
difference if a couple of thousand kiddies turned up at North
Harbour.
Just make sure it doesn't give you a reputation of being desperate to get crowd numbers.

well kids will eat food at the games theres $5 per head that way
aye....
but what would you think of 2000 8-12 year olds sitting next to us chanting, i think it could kill the atmosphere if they get bored and start to talk. They would have to sit somewhere else close enough to look like a pumping crowd but far away enough not to be scared or have parents complain about offensive language/chants and agressive behaviour....
this is a great idea for the clubs benifit though

Free childs season ticket with an adult one ? (complete self
interest here).
Clubs like Upper Hutt and Stop Out have very large junior playing
numbers. So through the clubs would make sense.
Flag the juniors!!!! They dont chant. They sit there and do nothing. Sure a few would be nice. But id rather get college students. People that actually chant. Make the competition involve chanting so u can actually get someone the will be an asset to this fanbase. Not a little kid who brings his spiderman toys to the game. Wat a waste.
The Junior News (who is 7) lost his voice at the last Knights match
and thanks to being involved in the noise wants a season ticket for
the Phoenix. Start them young, keep them and their dollars
for life.
Cheap tickets for youngsters get's paying adults along, again, get them hooked and they are repeat customers.
I'm sure there will be student discounts for college students but this is about grabbing them young and keeping them and the family.

Agree with pavlos, you have to tap into the college students and
the teenagers before the littlies. The Blue & White Brigade
have their own little section for teens where they meet up and have
their own chants, and its hooked us up to it for life. The Yellow
Fever needs to find these people, not just the Phoenix.
cove has heaps of teens aswell, NSM!!! lol, tap into the young
kids, 2 Free kids with each paying adult for certain games?
college kids sure do have agression and are a litle more sensless
than the mature fans, would be great to get all the colleges
involved but please leave out the mcevedy rival bullsh*t, fighting
amongst ourselves wont look to good on camera
why don't we get a teenagers supporters crew, who can text their
chants in (possibly while listening to My Chemical Romance on their
Ipods)
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
Just keep 'em away from the visitors end, would you?
Damn kids, with their rock 'n roll and their make-out
parties....

Agree totally "get as many bums on seats" and hopefully they
will come back.
If you get 7 year old kids coming who did they bring to the game
with them?
There parents so instead of 1 teenager going you get 3 people
going.
Just make them side near the corner flag like what the Victory
do with a family sort of area.
Don't give them inflatable clapping sticks or horns, please. Or I
will seriously open a family size can of whip ass on the little
bastards.
If you do have kids at the games i know its lame but every 10 mins
just do a Wellington clap clap clap, wellington etc to get them
involved etc.
kiwi pie, i'd be more worried about those plastic clacker thingies
that seem to be popular with kids at other sports. nothing worse
than having a group of young'uns near ya and all that you can hear
is 'clackclackclackclackclackclackclackclackclack'
bums on seats is what will keep this franchise going, the more the merrier

Remember the Mexican Wave is for bored know nothings who would be
better of watching table tennis.

Jesus, they sound awful!
I can see myself getting veeeeeery pissed at this opening
game.......
just smuggle in a flask of your favourite 'remedy' and the problem
is gone 
...or alternitively, bribe the kids with lollipops if those clacker things are being distributed

i agree with an area far away from us hooligans for the
kids....college students would be better.
as i know there is nothing better to do in this city, im sure the idea of going to a game with your mates chanting,swearing and letting out agression instead of "siting in your armchair w**king off to pop idols"- football factory, would appeal to quite a few teenagers
