Bizarrely the Wrexham game will be A+… that won’t be the money spinner Doug thinks it is. Birmingham and Leicester games will sell out

And now if you see a gig at Brum Academy and it's 'only' £60 people refer to it as cheap.

Who’s charging £60 a ticket at Birmingham Academy?

 

[CovRes]

Hull and QPR at Cat B is just naughty. Clearly some special start of season pricing there because they certainly are not in the second tier of clubs that would be an attractive fixture

I think they're the same category as last season. There were only one or two Cat C games which were basically midweek matches against Cat B teams.

Im watching england v wales for much less in October with the kids

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Wonder how many matches will be category D

 

[cooperskyblue]

Absurd prices.

We will get punished by other clubs charging our away fans the same.

We kicked off at Leeds and now have done the same.

No clubs have to charge home and away fans the same. So if another club charges us £45 thay will also have to be consistent with what they charge their own fans. We will only get charged by clubs what they are prepared to charge their fans too.

I don't get the comparison with concert tickets. That's something you do occasionally, football is weekly for most. Yes some folk watch more bands, but not top expensive bands every week. There is no justification.

Fill the ground, the atmosphere is so much better when the away end sells out too. They'll spend the missing revenue on pints, pies and programmes.

Wonder who is Cat D then?

That's not quite true. It only has to be a small section of similar seating. I'm sure there are ways to use some of the segregation not for sale and say they are £45 seats if they want to be arsey about it and who could blame them.

[HJones23]

Cast your minds back to the abuse we gave Leeds a couple of seasons back for ticket prices & Dougs done the same thing

 

[SBT]

Kick It For a Ticket is Category D

Except against Birmingham, then it’s an extra £30 to stay in the stands at half time

 

[skybluelee]

I reckon they will just badge FAC 3rd round games v L1/2/NL teams a D and early round LC matches v lower opp. And no league matches.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Isn’t there a £30 cap on premier league away tickets as well?

Yep there is

Another example of Doug Queen being a deluded, middle class c**t - completely detached from the average family. You can tell he’s come from a B2B background selling rapeseed, with no knowledge of direct consumer selling. He clearly thinks every family should pay what his trust funded family pay without batting an eyelid.

Considering we are still in the Championship and haven’t got closer to promotion than 2023, he’s ramped up prices considerably over 2 years.

If he expects more from the fans, he should expect to deliver more on the pitch.

 

[SBT]

We’re going to get absolutely hosed on reciprocal away ticket prices aren’t we

Yet his pricing so far has been spot on as we'be sold more.

 

[SkyBluePower]

Is that it for season tickets then? Still 200 short of the 24k mark but are those all in the dreaded Mahou Lounge?

 

[CovRes]

They can only charge what they charge their own fans in the equivalent home areas.

 

[rob9872]

I'd say you're both right to some degree. We've had relative success and whilst things are looking promising, you can get away with it. If anything starts to fail on the pitch, that will be the acid test.

We will get charged Cat A prices everywhere. They may not be £45 but they will be approaching £40.

They can charge us their Cat A prices.

 

[Killers mullet]

Then you add on the booking fee!!

 

[Balli001]

Awful pricing

Doug hates kids

For once i share your Doug negativity

 

[CovRes]

Wonder who is Cat D then?

As someone else said, it may be the default lower league cup maybe price. Other than that, Preston at a guess.

 

[Lee77]

I'm optimistically hoping this has been put out this morning and will get buried by the announcement of a new signing later today...

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Its about time we protested against Bling.

 

[theferret]

People defending this, because they simply cannot bring themselves to criticise the club in any way, need to give their head a wobble. £35 for kids? It's outrageous.

 

[skybluecam]

Masterstroke by Doug.

Create a new A+ category and pump up prices purely to rinse clubs with big away followings.

 

[pusbccfc]

Just letting it settle... Take the outrageous prices for the Birmingham and likely Leicester games. Surely that will be it for the £45 tickets. Most other games will be Cat A or B.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

The bigger issue is for our own fans getting reciprocal pricing at away games.

No one is defending it are they? This is the most backlash I've seen against Doug by a long way.

 

[Alex1987]

So no concessions in the premium seats either? I suspect in the next 5 years that will be across the whole ground...

 

[skybluecam]

I would love to hear his rationale for these prices - they are simply too high and. It sustenance- it will lose a couple of thousand on the grounds at those A+ games

No it won’t lol

 

[stgeorge1966]

Oh and dont forget the £1 shitty booking fee
