Season tickets are only one part of the equation; they're a foundation upon which to build. Are you telling me that 16 days isn't long enough to try and attract and grow the more casual crowd? As CMG said, clubs know they have these 3-4 games to slot into the calendar - it's not hard to come up with 3-4 event-specific campaigns.
The fact that one club that's part of the "junta" can't manage to appear in Google for a simple query about their hospitality packages for this season suggests that it IS a lack or marketing ability at fault here, not the S8s.
Bit unfair to have a go at Wakefield and compare them against the likes of Leeds, when you consider the resources of both clubs and especially the fact that Leeds is by some distance the biggest City in SL, which team has had also the most success, with a huge backer too boot. They obvlously have the resouces and the number of employees behind the scenes to be ahead of many other teams when it comes to marketing the side.
No doubt Wakefield can improve in this area and have done in practically all other areas of how the Club's run, in just the last few years under Carter. But for you to continually pull mainly Wakefield up seems a bit of an agenda tbh.
Leeds themselves could and should do better considering the size of the City you sit in. As well as other well supported successful Clubs with big backers like Wigan and Saints etc. But I suppose Wakefield's an easy target compared to say Hudds for example with it's modern ground and rich backer, who could afford to employ plenty of marketing men to do a good job for them.
