I don't wish to go down a rabbit hole, but taking your kids to the football isn't the sum all of good parenting.

I think we'll struggle if I'm honest.

I really hope not. Having 27,000 Coventry fans in there on a Wednesday night would be quality.

30 quid for me as a season ticket holder is a bit steep really. I’ll still go but no particularly happy about it.
The prices for kids are a disgrace.

i wonder if spurs will rest players against arsenal to ensure they give everything to progress in the carabo cup away to cov 3 days later?

i think the only chance that someone like son or maddison will be there is if maddison still has his box at the cbs and decides to invite son. the prices should have been set for cov v tottenham reserves: £20 adults £10 kids and get a full house.

Then when we haven't got enough money to pay for a player/improve someone's contract? I know this one game won't dictate that, but we can't moan about pricing, then also moan about not signing ....x player

Can't we just use one of the cup vouchers, at the end of our season ticket books, for this???

Would be interested to know how many U14 season ticket holders we have and realistically what difference pricing them at £10-15 would have made to overall receipts, especially given they are split.

I expected the prices as I know it's Doug's policy.

The kids prices are very high and will put a lot of people off.

It would be a huge shame if we don't sell out because with Spurs being given just over 3000, in theory the capacity for the game is probably around 31,500 for the first time in years.

Sorry, you misunderstood my (very feeble) joke. You misspelt it "by children", which sounds like you have a cold,

I get your point about your particular circumstances, not sure what the solution would be really.

The prices for non St holder kids have been scandalous for a while, under 17s should be no more than £10 regardless of who we're playing

If the club priced £20 for adults and £10 for kids my whole family would have gone and the club would have £70. If we all go and sit together with the actual prices it would cost £154. This is an weeknight early rounds game of the Carabo Cup against what will be a much weakened Tottenham. This seems too expensive to me. So chances are none of us will go and the club doesn't get anything from us.

If the seats sell out or gets close to selling out fair enough- club makes more money and get better players etc. but if there are lots of empty seats then maybe the club ends up with less money than if they had cheaper pricing and more seats sold.

They wouldn’t have £70 - it’s £56 and then I assume there is a split between both clubs in the cup tie

He had read the room.
They will sell out at £30. We moan we want premier league players, we moan we we play a premier league team paying championship ticket prices. By reducing the price to £20 will lose the club around £300,000 just on entrance prices without anything else.

Genuinely don't see what all the fuss about. I'm fine with the prices. It's a one off game against a top PL opposition, from a business pov makes perfect sense. DK running a business not a charity. If people are moaning about paying £37 quid for ONE game they should've got a ST. Some people are so entitled.

So each team gets 45% receipts. If we charged £20 that’s £16 contribution and we’d get £7 per ticket.

could have took a fiver off a ticket with the extra income

And as it's a League Cup game.

Does anyone know how much the Club gets for the Spurs game being on Sky ?

Just doing some quick sums based on 20% of crowd having child tickets - and allowing the concessions to even out between child and adult prices (as 20% probably bit high for child attendance), with a 45% split for CCFC. I get a total of £150k difference based on sell out in both scenarios, between the prices actually being charged and if it was £20/£10 adults/kids.

Don't know if 150k is considered significant, but I presume that would pay first 11's wages for a week.

Spurs will play a reserve team (the vast majority I've never heard of) for 90 mins and Robins will play our reserves for 45 mins.
It's the Carabao cup.
Is that worth £37? No.
