It's a opinion about pricing in a thread full of opinions about ticket pricing 😂 Of course it's considered when they make these calls, I never suggested I had invented a new concept or way of thinking, it ain't that deep.

Nobody was saying £20. And at what point does this cease to make sense? 10K at £100 would generate more, would that be job done, or do you agree there is a balance to be struck that prioritises revenue but which doesn't alienate and discourage uptake? This especially applies to children, and...

...strange they've opened up block 4 for this.

Doing us a bit of a disservice there. We were excellent that season outside of that terrible opening. Only lost one of the last 17 iirc, were great on that run in with thumping wins at Huddersfield, Blackpool and QPR, conceded fewer than all but the top 3. We were well worthy of the 5th place...

No, it's about demand. People will pay those prices if the occasion justifies it, even if they don't like it. We sold out against Boro in the play off semi at full price. The point that is being made is that the 3rd round of the league cup on a Wednesday night probably needed a more attractive...

And how many city fans paid the £37 against Norwich? About 3K. Cup games are from a standing start of 0. They're bonus fixtures for the club and traditionally priced a bit cheaper to encourage take up. It was always a stretch to sell out at those prices. We also have the highest kids prices in...

It's what following a normal, stable football club looks like. Years of plastic pigs and pitch invasions followed by a few seasons of dewy-eyed positivity. Neither are a normal state of affairs. Do you think we're any different to other clubs? How many times were Sunderland booed off last...

They're ST holders, why would they be begging for Wembley tickets? Besides, a significant number of those might not have realised that the £30 price didn't apply once their seat was released. A few have said that in this thread. This has all been done to death, but the idea that ST holders are...

Eh? It's called social media, how would you have possibly gauged this 20 years ago? The manager will have his name chanted today, and Wednesday., with gusto. We even sing positively about the owner. Most negative in 54 years? 😂There is very little negativity really. I repeat, we'll be getting...

Nobody can buy at £30 now though, it's £38 minimum now and £26 for kids. People won't pay that, it's self evident, because people aren't. It's blindingly obvious. Jesus.

It doesn't mean anything though. If MK Dons were playing Spurs they'd get a massive gate and then be back to 6K for the next league game. We're not them. We didn't have a great start last season, and especially the year before, but it didn't effect league gates. It won't this time either...

A touch dramatic. Most teams in the championship won't be getting 27K at home to Swansea, which we will. We're seeing record numbers at the minute, it's all fine. People not understanding the dynamics of cup tie sales when you are starting from a base 0, lots of factors at play including the...

Not trying to spin anything and actively trying to encourage people to go, it never crossed my mind not to go, but I get why some people aren't. Biggest mistake was not allowing season ticket holders to purchase at £30 regardless of when they bought a ticket. A few would have made a last minute...

Yep, 4 Wembley trips since then, playoff semis, hugely important league fixtures, we've not been starved of big occasions. I recall the Stoke game in the fa cup, what was the crowd, 14K with 11K of us? Yes, it was Stoke, but it was a PL side and 3pm on a Saturday. Fast forward to Brighton away...

Man Utd and Arsenal in the league cup were away days, a day out, day off work, the chance to be part of massive followings (far bigger than league allocations). We're talking about a home tie, it hasn't the same attraction and is just another night as the CBS where a full house is now not...

People are just giving reasons why ticket sales are slow. Pricing and a certain amount of indifference to the fixture. I wish it was going to be a full house, it would be rocking, but any prospect of that went out of the window when prices were announced. It's a shame, but it's what it is.

I guess some of us are just not as impressed by 'big clubs' as the younger supporters. PL bores me senseless. I grew up watching us beat these sides, it's not a big deal. I'm going to the game btw, but half the people I go with are not. Not trying to be contrarian, but genuinely looking forward...

Is that a serious post?

There are 2000 people going to Watford. There are 27000 tickets for Spurs. The comparison applies to a small number. As for 'first PL side...', it's a bit of a so what from me. We're not MK Dons who can go from one man and his dog to a full house because a PL outfit rock up. There are positives...

Well, nothing, that's why I put it in inverted commas.
