Just nice to see it full with sensible segregation. Always thought even with 26k (which we used to call a good crowd) it looked half empty strangely with swathes of sky blue seats .
The bank manager doesn’t give a crap about atmosphere or empty seats
Owing to our commitments this was only the 4th game I’ve been to this season, so our STH seats have been empty most of the time. Certainly not our preferred option to be missing games!Yes, just as there were today… STH don’t always turn up.

The PL package has been well worth it regardless. Given where we sit, just £20 more than the regular price so why not? Hopefully free top flight football next season in exchange for having paid a tiny amount more for an ST. Can’t say fairer than that.It’s been a huge and exciting year of change for your family and this prioritises football! Once again, congratulations and hope everything is going well!
There’s no judgement because there’s plenty of people who work shift patterns or are on call so it clash’s with work. I’ve been lucky I’ve been able to take AL for the midweek away games myself.
There’s a clear theme here where people who frankly, talk as if they know better than the club and would price everything £30. Wasps went down the route of free and cheap tickets and look how that went down!
We’ve also done the Premier League package, however many clubs dish out free season tickets when they go up? I’ve not heard of anyone doing so.
Exactly and on all the big decisions that impact loyal supporters, the club gets right. FZ seating, ST prices, PL package.The PL package has been well worth it regardless.

Didn’t see the attendance today guess over 31,000 but still loads of empty seats on the balcony, need to find a way to fill them
No, those were rows and part blocks of unsold seats.Yes, just as there were today… STH don’t always turn up.

If you travel to away games you will be impacted. If the tickets at £45 are all sold, everyone will be impacted as this will become the norm and all prices will shift upwards including season tickets.Exactly and on all the big decisions that impact loyal supporters, the club gets right. FZ seating, ST prices, PL package.
Most of the people moaning about ticket prices probably aren’t even impacted because more than likely, they’re STH.
Yesterday did, I was talking about the Birmingham and West Brom gamesThe game sold out Saturday morning.
Yep. @shmmeee will get his wish against Bristol City when we have 3000 unsold seats again.
Making an extra £10 per fan does not maximise anything.
He’s windmilling.I dont see how you can confidently predict the Bristol game will have 3,000 empty seats with 2 weeks still to go.

so you’re guessing basicallyJust on the price really mate. It's nearly £40 with fees.
All he needed to do was fill block 9 and tweak some more seats here and there. I’m guessing 600 seats in total? Admittedly that would only be 20-25k in the bank. But he’d have also gained against WBA who only bought 1450 with them. 1400 tickets at an average of £30. £42kI guess Doug is justified in any and all pricing decisions now that’s how that works right?
Bit of reverse psychology?What?
Am I reading this correctly?
I’d be interested to read your breakdown from yesterday vs the WBA game?Both games did in the home end. We sold less tickets than today because Block 9 was opened up.
WBA didn’t sell their allocation, partly because of price but mainly because their form is woeful and they’re a club that’s declining.
Our lowest attendance in the league this season is 29k v Hull - 2.05k less than today. Any insistence the pricing has been detrimental is just not true.
No, we'd price it to ensure it sells out like yesterday.
£32 is a fair price. All the tickets in both ends were sold out.
You're talking about a football club being run like a proper business. Football is not a proper business. It pays players to much and all clubs lose money.
I hope you're happy when there's 3000 empty seats against Bristol City.
Just looked on Bristol’s ticket site. The Adult price for us is £38+ booking fee
Allocation 2127
They have 1100 tickets left:
282 Safe standing
815 seated
plus a handful of wheelchair users.
What?
Am I reading this correctly?
Our away support Id imagine.who cares?
Not if it sells out just before kick off.Again I feel I have to point out a sell out is a failure in pricing not something to aim for.
That assumes the prices guarantee a sell out, it doesn’t. Most clubs in this division average less than our away allocation holds so unless you gifted tickets, not every game will sell out.No, we'd price it to ensure it sells out like yesterday.

Bristol City’s average away following last season was 1.4k, they don’t travel that well…
who cares?
so you’re guessing basically
Havnt they just upgraded the press box and it's on the same floor as the players, managers, officials etc which makes it easier for the press. I'm sure i recently heard or read this somewhereHospitality was sold out yesterday as well, the issue with the balcony is the number of seats is greater than the capacity in the lounges.
I trust Doug will look in to this in the summer and find a way of increasing lounge capacity.
One idea would be to move the press box area up on to the balcony and free up that area for revenue earning seats, I estimate 250+ seats.
