Matchday Ticket Prices (1 Viewer)

[Evo1883]

It's not an in-demand game and because there's 24k STH, there also isn't that many Cov fans who would regularly follow us. The pricing isn't that bad because £28-35 is average ticket prices for Championship league matches now.

It could be £20 a ticket and you'll still get people moaning about the price to take a family of 8 out for the day.

There isnt that many cov fans that regularly follow us ? What lol

We have great support

Probably should've worded it as: "after our 24k STHs there isn't that many fans who would follow us regularly". The point being that the price wouldn't really impact total attendance by much either way.

QPR tickets not exactly flying off the shelf

It will be a bigger crowd than West Brom. Are there really going to be people in Coventry £43 for a single ticket for a lunchtime game?

Some West Brom fans boycotted a few years ago and they had about 1500 in the away end. I think will see lower than that.

Weve had less than 28 000 on a saturday just 3 times in 2025

Were well supported

Get the feeling match day tickets just exist to make you want to get a season ticket for value. But you can’t buy a season ticket. Weird.

It's to punish away fans. It won't work with West Brom as they won't sell it out at those prices. Birmingham and Leicester fans will bite their tongue and pay it.

It's a decision that's been made to maximise our income. Once you take away the away tickets there's not many home tickets left. There will be more demand when the schools go back.

You either get a ST or pay the price.

That’s unlikely to happen given that the ST threshold has been reached.

Has it? CWR said opening day we’d sold 23,500 and I don’t think any have been on sale since.

That’s not really what we’re discussing.

Besides, if the average away following is 1500, that means a 28k attendance is 26.5k Cov fans, i.e. a v small proportion of supporters/day trippers who go to ad-hoc games.

Again, we’re not actually selling that many tickets per game outside the ‘big games’ because our base support is an impressive 25-26k home fans.

Setting prices at a level that people are unwilling or unable to.pay makes no sense. Blues might sell theirs and people will say it's justified, but I don't think we sell out for that game, and Albion I'm willing to bet will be the lowest crowd of the season up until that point. As mentioned by someone else, if they sell 1500 for that game I'd be amazed.

Yes, we sold out last season against them, but it was a bank holiday, and we were both in the play off mix, and it was £25 for kids not £35.

From a base of 23K season tickets we should be selling out high profile games like Blues and Albion, but we won't, and will be well short for the latter. I might be wrong about Blues, but Albion should never be cat a+ game.

Last season especially after Christmas we generally sold between 3 to 5000 matchday tickets .

Irrespective , the club was pushing towards 30,000 most of the second half of last season

Its a pretty fair amount of matchday tickets sold , considering most well supported clubs have a very small amount left after season ticket sales

They will no doubt boycott it. When they did a boycott a few years ago before Christmas, only 1500 turned up and that was £37. Even with inflation, £45/46 is another level of madness. That will encourage even the most diehard to consider boycotting.

I know some won't care, but it won't be a good look for the club. We'll face backlash from Birmingham and West Brom.

The big issue for me is West Brom at 12:30pm in November should not be Cat A+.

I haven't said it's a good idea. I see it more of maximising our income over the season.

We want a side good enough to compete at or near the top of the table. We haven't raised funds by selling our best players like we have always done before. We were unlucky not to beat Hull. If we continue like this we will be challenging at the top of the table. We will most probably be playing in a stadium full or close to full.

Understand your point completely, and we do have to maximise the revenue, I was just pointing out that at that level it has the potential to reduce revenue because you don't sell the seats you would otherwise sell and alsi can't open up things like the ST resale which worked well last season it's a fine balance. Anyway, with today's news you understand what's motivating it in the short term.

Now we know why West Brom at home is £45
