People want to go I think but or 2 or 3 reasons they don't want to or can't.
Price is certainly a factor. £10 to £22-24 is over double.
2 games back to back weekends isn't the easiest for many with families and work commitments.
Yeovil town isn't a big draw for a lot of fans I'm afraid.
Tickets are obviously hard to get. Queuing in the shop is a joke. ST are proving difficult with tickets then you get your booklet. Online is hit or miss for some though chrome works just fine.
Stands keep changing to what is open and what is not. Why?
I still think the gate will be 10k+ But the club have seriously messed up here behind the scenes. Front line staff are working as hard as they can but with all of the above it's very hard.

Totally agree with all your sentiments..
We used to sit in the CET Stand and then, when we were told we couldn't sit there, we moved to the Main Stand. We have heard nothing more about asking whether we want to move back or stay where we are (nor what is happening to our padded seats) and no signs of any tickets for the Yeovil game yet. Went up to the Gallagher Store the other day and waited in the queue but only 2 people serving and it hardly moved so gave up. Been trying the telephone numbers but no answer.
So waiting anxiously for the post this morning, otherwise another long wait in the queue.
Also managed to book tickets online for Scunthorpe on Tuesday,(easy peasy transaction though), but also waiting for these tickets to be delivered now.
It's about time this was all sorted out.
Anyway, looking forward to our first Saturday match back at the Ricoh. PUSB.

No one has said 15,000 sold. Including away fans season ticket and corporate the figure will be around 9,000

I've just been through the website and brought 2 tickets perfectly without any troubles. Is anyone having problems with the website?

Stop with this doubling the price nonsense. Friday the price was halved from the norm.

Yep, tried that.
I twiddled my thumbs, watched paint dry and the grass grow and watched raindrops race done my window pane.
Gave it all up though to come back to the City!

I never said it wasn't. I'm just saying the price has doubled from 10 to 22-24. That's a fact. Whether or not it's 22-24 normally. That's not I said.
£22-24 is a lot to watch yeovil town who will bring how many? 400?
Nick

Surely home fans are paying to watch Coventry City?

you have to also take into consideration 1000 tickets were given to the chairty event who were supposed to be playing a game at the ricoh tomo, so the attendence will be boosted by that also
(kind of going away from the price and walk up debate)

Well that's me. I'm not more likely to go because we are playing Man Utd, I go cos I want to see Coventry City.

Again Nick, I appreciate it is £22-24 normally but to a lot of people £10 seems a bargain which it is and the home coming to a week later it's over double that and bak to normal. You have to accept a drop off.
Also opposition matters as who will bring more fans yeovil or Preston? Not just that but who would our fans want to see? A top 8 clash between us and preston or us and yeovil? Both points are relevant IMO.
Changing stands doesn't exactly mean people can't go but it isn't helpful either. Maybe takes up more seats and makes some fans let it go for this game and back for preston in 2 weeks time.
Online seems ok. That's how I bought my tickets in 2 minutes so no problems. Phone and shop seems to be silly although I'm only going on other posters. I've not been in there myself.

I definitely agree. I just think many at gillingham weren't major ccfc like us all on here. They will look at price or the gillingham special offer.
It has always been the case who you play brings in more supporters than normal. I'm sorry but this has always been the case. You will always get a few more thousand fans if you play Birmingham city or yeovil town.

Went to Peterborough last season paid £24.00 and was put into a shit stand where you could not sit cos your knees caught up on the seat in front, bird shit all over the seats, shite view cos a bleedin pillar obstructing the view. So now i go up to the Ricoh in a nice comfortable stadium and i pay for that privaledge.

I agree that the levels of excitement can vary on who the opposition is, but at the end of the day I just want to go and see the City play and hopefully win.
Don't think I have ever looked at a game and gone 'Oh, it's only Burton, I won't bother.' If City are playing at home I want to be there.

In fact, when we play the 'smaller' teams I am quite often more excited, as I think we should have a better chance of winning those games and that's what I want to see, City winning.
7 years of SISU, 7 years of demise, 3 years in League 1, 18 months fucking around in Northampton, still another court case hanging over our heads, SISU's incompetence pervading everywhere still, Fisher still talking about his La La stadium, the ticketing arrangements a shambles...............Is anyone that surprised ? Fridays fantastic turnout was a protest in it's own form as much as anything. The 85% of the support who shunned Sixfields still want rid of the hedge fund scum, there is very little trust.
All that said, as long as they make provision for tickets to be sold on the day and there are a few cash turnstiles, I'm sure the gate will be 10-12,000. I'm going to stomach the £24 this time, I hope it's good value !
