Yep that's what I wanted. I live an hour away and my two 5 year olds won't be doing any evening games and I'd have liked to attended them alone.

I guess it will be 3 empty seats rather than 2 midweek (unless we are flying up the league).

I'm almost seeing it as a half ST at a lower price.

Yep! Easy pops! All of us would have done that given option.
There’s another point, give us the option!

The option would be great wouldn't it...its only another selection on the ticket drop down, but you get to sit in your seat when the kids can't make it.

Too easy

If @Skyblueweeman plays his cards right he could do a nice line in getting paid to attend weeknight matches next season :p

The club are digging themselves a Public Relations hole and appear to be still digging. The amount of rules, clauses and caveats they are putting in the family zone is becoming ridiculous. I get the family zone is cheap and those that sit there have a great deal but are the club seriously going to police it that zealously and start removing season tickets from fans?

Club wouldn't need to do anything if our own supporters hadn't tried to game the system for their own advantage. As usual we create a problem then moan when something is done to try and fix it. Plenty of posts in here last season about how many people were in the family zone with no kids in tow or how it was half empty. Additionally, according to King, there's been complaints from families unable to access the cheap tickets as that area is 'sold out' when the numbers show it averages being a third empty.

Its become more complicated than it needs to be because people, potentially even people who don't use that area, are sat on social media making up imaginary scenarios to get angry about.

I have no problem with the club making it so unused tickets are released and made available to other families and / or clamping down on people trying to cheat the system. This time last year we were talking about how nobody would want to sit with a load of kids in a shit part of the ground. 12 months on we're talking about rules being needed due to demand for tickets, not the worst problem to have.

what makes you think there wouldn't have been a similar uproar if there had been a huge increase in the price of season tickets in that part of the ground. Lets be honest, we've got a very vocal section of our fanbase who just love to moan and find fault with everything

look at all the moaning from people about having to pay the same price as the rest of us for games where they don't meet the terms of the family zone

Wonder if Doug has seen that Wolves have released their family zone pricing for next season and kids season tickets have increased 133%

Their family zone prices are £780 for adults, £285 for U17s and £245 for U14s 🤯

So a Wolves Adult season ticket is £41 per match in the family zone, if you attend all matches? Seems outrageous, or is that just the going rate now in the PL?

Wolves fans unhappy at prices from £525 (uncovered area) to £939. My Prem Package looks even more of a bargain, assuming we get promoted, that is.

Work with a Wolves season ticket holder, his has gone up over 20% and he's not happy.

Not sure what the answer is but feels like the family zone needs an adjustment. It's now the only part of the ground with a noticeable amount of empty seats when games are regularly sold out. Its not a huge number but its noticeable when there's not a seat to be had in the rest of the ground.

We've got games on Saturdays, far more notice of changes for TV fixtures and a ticket exchange. What else do we need to do to make sure those seats aren't empty?

Surely the club needs to get on top of this. There were spaces elsewhere as well. The North Stand had few dozen dotted around. We had 2 empty seats near us. The 12:30 KO doesn’t help.

Think the problem with the rest of the ground is they don't want to open up the ticket exchange prior to a sell out and you end up with a situation like yesterday where it was the morning of the game when it sold out so there's no time to activate it.

Could they maybe allow you to mark your ticket as available before they open the exchange and then as soon as it sells out they can make those tickets available??

There always will be, surely a good few hundred extra people cram into singers corner every week, you can not see the stairs in between the blocks like you can everywhere else in the ground.

I think it depends on the age of the child. If it's an U14 ticket then the club have said there will be no voucher. It's a £6 voucher for an U18 ticket, or at least that's what they announced the other week!
