Let me see your outrage at £37 for Norwich at home. A big team comes to town, and suddenly the world is up in arms despite it being cheaper than some league games this season. Do me a favour!

You all claim to be fans and want the best for the club, but also, you don't want to support the club, you just want piss cheap tickets. Engage the grey matter a little bit and you'll start to see some sense..

another person who doesn’t see the real reason. its the kids tickets where people have a problem

I haven’t seen one person moan about adult prices albeit the system where season ticket holder now has to pay £37

Kids pricing is absolutely fair. Just because it's a bigger team than usual doesn't mean we can give handouts. If the point people are making is that we're pricing children out of being Cov fans, then what's the difference between watching Spurs vs watching Swansea at the weekend? £15, and arguably a better chance of seeing a decent Cov performance.

if my 8 year old wasn’t a season ticket holder and wanted to last min go the game I would have to pay £25 for her. if you think that’s fair then I disagree and seems many other parents and families disagree too

just look where most families sit and the amount of tickets available

I understand that, but I guess you have to look at the reasoning behind why you want to take a child. I would assume most would want to keep the kids coming back. You can either spend £25 and probably watch us get dominated by Spurs at an unfavourable time for kids, or you can take them to a prime Saturday 3pm slot for £15 in a game where we have more of a chance of putting in an exciting performance. That's surely a no brainer?

think you are missing the point massively. most families now have season tickets so they won’t be paying for the Swansea game

look at the areas impacted. family zone is 80% empty as it stands

That's a fair point I hadn't considered. £25 still decent value for a one off game by my mind. Anyone done a historical analysis of previous ticket prices v Prem clubs? What were the prices v Chelsea when we played them?

Edit: Quick google says £12 concessions, £25 adult! Maybe SISU had it right?

£18.55 adjusted for inflation. Still under priced, I would say!

my personal opinion the ticketing for Wednesday should have been £25 adults and £10 kids as it’s midweek and only 3rd round of a Mickey Mouse cup

Stop trying to get a rise out of people, start formulating some credible points of discussion. GIMOC can do it, why can't you? The way you post currently stinks of "I'm right, only I can be right, no-one else in the world is right apart from me."

That’s not what I said, I meant an atmosphere similar to, for example 21/22 where there are less people but it is louder

Its a Mickey mouse cup because we never get anywhere in it. If we got to the final it would be the most important cup match since 1987.

The state of current sales is suggesting the club got it wrong, and I'm one who said the pricings fine as it will likely sell out. Could pick up closer to the match, but at the moment there's going to be thousands unsold, and a lower kids price + slightly lower adult price could have achieved a sell out, and therefore maximised revenue at the ground on the day. Purely looking at it from a business point of view, I'm pretty sure they would have set pricing expecting a sell out.

I paid £7 for a pint of Poretti in an average Italian restaurant last night in Hinckley. Lunacy for me but if two tier Kier gets his way we should all be paying that just to protect ourselves from ourselves!
As someone else said, not too painful if you’re an £80k a year train driver but most find pricing for all forms of entertainment in the UK ridiculous!

Porreti is fake, brewed in the UK, Carlsberg crap. Same with Morreti, Madri, Corona, San Miguel.

Would only pay that money for Asahi, Peroni (both brewed in Italy), Veltins, Krombacher and Paulaner (all brewed in Germany under purity laws).

Lots of the people that drink the fake foreign lager are condescending to Carling and Carlsberg - they’re just paying extra for variations with a marketing budget.

You’ve fallen for the marketing of Peroni yourself if you’d pay that much for it. No idea how it’s seen as a premium lager.

I'd take a charity wager now that the FZ is less than 2/3 full. It also means that some who would've gone won't now, as they have kids so despite being season ticket holders will have to move and pay £37. As I said, back at school, 8pm (+ closed roads) kids back likely 11pm when it's on Sky. Missing a kid could miss an adult too plus food, drink, programme etc that we get 100% of not 45% as per tickets. The difference is negligible to the club at concession values imo. It's round 3 of the Carabou cup. We had decent Oxford pricing and still only 11,000 attended. Post holidays after season tickets and shirts lots will be feeling the pinch. I think it's too high and whatever we say on here, the crowd will reflect the truth. I think sensible pricing sells out. We'll be well short of capacity at these rates. I'll be going, but I'm the kind of idiot who travelled miles in L2, it's not about me and I'm not arguing the point for me, I think the pricing is too high and especially for kids.

To be fair, the 10 blocks to the left that have just singles left. Pretty much the same in the main stand.

The seating map looks similar to majority of games in 2022 the night before a game and there would be 22,000 there.
Click to expand...

so its gone from you saying it’ll be a sell out to 22,000

behind the goal where families sit still around 6-8k tickets left

no matter how hard the club try to market this game we won’t shift many more

The family stand will always be quieter for midweek games as it’s a late night for the kids.
