Messed that up. Apologies.
[/QUOTE]That is a very good point.
Ps I also believe football is too expensive across the board in England. And I'm also in no way surprised at the negative reaction. But it does blow away the idea that we'd pack out the Ricoh in the premier league or the championship every week.
Kinda surprised by the outrage to be honest. At home to a Prem team. £22 is no more than watching Forest Green at home. Would obviously like it to be cheaper but more than ever the team need our support...
Yes I would have paid it, I will pay £23.00 for this game also, doesn't mean it is right.Genuine question, would people have paid £30 for Liverpool or Chelsea away?

Just after Xmas aswell aren't people struggling as it is?
Then people will moan that not enough turned up arh well what will be will be.......
Can see attendance at about 10,000 so will generate less money for city then a league game.
PUSB
Tbf was a bit of a shit draw.Just as you replied I quoted it as nobody had until then
Surely if it was £15 for 15,000 as an example, it would have generated less? Let's face it, people weren't going to flock to watch Stoke and have now suddenly decided against it.
Sorry treble whamming....Tbf was a bit of a shit draw.
Well let' hope it is a double whamming for Stoke!

NoWould still like to know if the outraged people would have paid that?
I am lost as to what people want, even though I'd have liked a Liverpool, Man City or Chelsea and when Stoke were drawn I'd never have thought I wouldn't go.
Trying to get an idea, for people to go it has to either be a massive top level club or really cheap even though it's still a Premier League club even though the club only get 45% of the tickets anyway which is pretty much the club's main income? I'd bet good money on a percentage of the same people moaning that we don't sign players for unrealistic fees, wages etc etc too.
If that is the case and the fire has actually gone out for a lot of people then we need to give up any hope of becoming a premier league team and look at a smaller stadium that can generate additional revenue because continuing to rattle around inside the Ricoh with no hope of fans returning is pointless.Problem is Nick people quickly become less 'loyal' I'd have paid £30 if it was Liverpool or Chelsea yet I won't pay £22 to watch us play Stoke.
A year ago I'd have paid £40 to watch us play Newport in a cup tie!
I can only speak for myself but previously a STH since the age of 5 (bar 6F) til this season, I cannot believe how much I've fallen away from the club!
Yes days like Lincoln away made me for one afternoon have that spark back but the flame has definitely gone out big time on the club and I feel many are the same.

It’s too expensive. They needed to pitch this at a reasonable price I.e. a flat 20 and that would have helped although as others have said you won’t please people and most wont bother. Would have been nice to give ST holders a discount
I would, but so would the part-timers who turn up for the big games. As mentioned on previous threads, a lot of fans aren't too fussed about playing Stoke at home, so reasonably expensive ticket will put them off.
The ticket price is no more that what I and others pay every week, but that's not the issue for the 9000 loyal fans, its the locals who needed a reason to go.
But then it doesn't make too much sense to whack the tickets right down for a game we only get 45% of the ticket money from does it when people won't bother for the next league game?
It's not as if they have put the prices up to £40 a ticket.

They’ve missed a trick here once more. With all the flack they’ve taken this season for the ticket prices, doubled with the aftermath of relegation, games like this are a prime opportunity to say ‘sorry’ to the long suffering fans of this basket case of a club. But no, as always, decisions made by fucking idiots. Set the maximum at £15 and fill the fucking ground for once in your sorry tenure.
Hang on I’ve just realised people were saying £20 would be good but it’s £22. If £2 is that much of an issue to you then you shouldn’t be wasting it at the football anyway.
Spot on! ;-)Exactly.
I think people are overestimating a little bit that the ground will be packed to the rafters at £15. when we play Stoke. People were annoyed we got them even before pricing was announced.
We wouldn't have sold out at £15, nowhere near.
Yeah saw that. Unfortunately that says 'Minimum' price not 'target/recommended price'
Someone tweeted this to the club.
With Stoke probably not giving a shit about the money, I can imagine we asked for the higher price.
It’s about perception though isn’t it. It sounds and feels more reasonable and would make a tangible difference to the gate.Hang on I’ve just realised people were saying £20 would be good but it’s £22. If £2 is that much of an issue to you then you shouldn’t be wasting it at the football anyway.
You will never please everyone but I think a little lower would have been reasonable. For me the opposition is irrelevant, if I am going I’m going. I watch ccfc not the opposition !It's £22 now, if it was £20 then people would want £15 before they went.
People say they won't pay £22 to go and watch FGR and League 2 Football, now they won't pay £22 to go and watch us play a Premier League team.

Some recent away games from their website:How much do stoke normally pay for an away game I thought it was £20 is plenty.?
