Interesting to see what category Ipswich is classed as. Horrible kick off time & only being 3 days later than Swansea, you would like to think it would be as low as possible

Seems to be an assumption these days that everyone is off between Christmas and new year. Last year I had to take an afternoon off when Blaze had a game scheduled on a non-bank holiday afternoon between Christmas and new year and I'll have to do the same for Ipswich. Getting there for a 7:45pm kick off after work is hard enough.

Of course, but fan culture and atmosphere is important. Otherwise I may as well sit and watch the game on TV.

I want us to have big allocations. Stoke was amazing with 3500 there.

Yeah, I do think you lose something from the atmosphere by not having a big away following when there’s the demand for it. Thats true of our away games when we get a small allocation and it’s true at the CBS too.

Good that we have the flexibility to fill it ourselves - just incumbent on us now to keep filling it and to keep the noise levels up.

I'm in the same boat this year, granted work loads are usually a lot lighter between christmas & new years but it will be mad dash to finish at 5/5.30 and get to the game for kick off.

Lol its not quite like that is it.
Cant include 24k season ticket sales.

Its 4k @ £45 = 180k
7k @ £35 = 244k

So it's a loss of 65k

Also factor in 3000 less punters spending nothing on merchandise and matchday food /bev sales.

Realistically it will be 28k which is still a good crowd.

The disappointment is that this would have sold every seat at Cat B and potentially Cat A £37.

As mentioned above, those extra few thousands are likely to spend another £5-10 on average.

Fair play to Doug for charging Cat B for Ipswich. They could have easily exploited the Christmas period/Promotion Clash/Ex-Prem side idea and gone for A or A+.

Leicester as expected £45 and Millwall only £25.

Well thats under the assumption that the extra 3,000 people not attending for £45 would attend for £35 which we have no evidence is that case.

I'm sure you're aware that in casual speech "couple" can be used interchangeably as a word for few.

If I'd been aware that I was being scored on the formality of my literacy I would've used a different word

Regardless of how casual the speech is, "couple" means two when used in a numerical sense.

This ai language model definitely had men in mind. The amount of times we have all said we’ll go for a ‘couple’ of drinks that turned into many more.

Never should we have away fans behind a goal where they can put off a keeper all game or a penalty kicker. Stick the fuckers in the corner

Well that’s what they’ve already done, block 9 is now open to home fans for all the home games. It won’t sell out for West Brom though it’s going to be 3/4 empty as it looks like no tickets are shifting since the weekend as it looks like the ceiling has been met on what fans are willing to pay.

What happened to the print at home option? I've just bought a couple of tickets for my niece & brother for the Leicester game & had either the option of adding them to my wallet or having them posted.

If the extra home seats don't sell well, perhaps there will be some offers like bundling tickets and getting a discount etc. The club seem much more commercially savvy these days (even if we don't agree with their savvy prices!) and able to respond quickly to the latest data on interest and sales. I don't like the one off ticket prices, especially for kids, but honestly not inclined to criticise Doug given where we are now compared to just a few years ago.

How times have changed. If you’d have said to people a few years back that having a few hundred empty seats would be viewed as a failure people would have said you were crazy

A few thousand. Hopefully this will make Doug see that there are only very specific games where the public will swallow £45 tickets.

Its clearly worked for Swansea on boxing day.
Leicester feels like it will due to the rivalry.
Birmingham - their fans are heady with thinking they will be in the Champions league in 3 years so will pay anything

West Brom who we have no rivalry with on TV at lunchtime a few weeks before Christmas. No.

It's not a few thousand though. Block 9 holds just over a thousand. 1/3rd of which arn't on sale. Then there a couple of hundred left in the South East corner. There's not too much more than a thousand tickets left in the home ends and that number will only decrease leading upto the game on Saturday.

We'll still be pushing 30K on Saturday, the only thing that will stop that is the away tickets sold and corporate.
