So what you’re saying is there should be other considerations beyond pure profit when deciding how to price and allocate tickets?
Now that @Sky Blue Pete has liked your comment I hope he’ll take that feedback straight to Doug and Dave…
So what you’re saying is there should be other considerations beyond pure profit when deciding how to price and allocate tickets?I agree with this in sentiment and at most other games.
However, having more Middlesbrough fans in making more noise is the kind of small margin that might swing a game or the atmosphere
Allocated them to people in my network who are going.You managed 3 thought it was only 1.
They started over a week ago due to their guaranteed position, we could have perhaps done but as suggested in +500, <500 and then generalMiddlesbrough managed it and ultimately the general sale window lasted less than 10 minutes
Fook me! So you think people with season tickets should be behind people with more points for a fekkin home game? You wouldn't fall into that category would you by any chance? Unbelievable!!
Have asked the chair of the supporters forum to reach out to the club on supporters behalf about the unused blocksSo what you’re saying is there should be other considerations beyond pure profit when deciding how to price and allocate tickets?

Might be the end of some peoples time come next season. Who knowsYet more incompetence from those at the top of the club.
I'm saying in certain circumstances - like the playoffs.So what you’re saying is there should be other considerations beyond pure profit when deciding how to price and allocate tickets?

You're forgetting that play-off ticket revenue is pooled and shared between the EFL and the four play-off clubsBecause supposedly ticket revenues are crucial to the club’s success and they have to be as high as can possibly be.
27th May would be better, not sure who's playing on the 26thIf your going to start that game can we start back a friday night in 1964 5-2 defeat Southend please and if its free tickets can i have 1 for 26th May please.
What would your fair system be?It’s all reminiscent of the 1987 cup final ticket debacle. They fucked it up then and we had so many people masquerading as fans on the day because the morons were handing out 25 tickets to any old Tom , Dick and Harry with a few stubs .
Glastonbury sells out in an hour. Done properly and to the right people with proof of loyalty, the tickets would have sold in four days just the same.
If by some miracle we qualify and we have 10 days to sell about 36500 tickets will we have the same unfair incompetency ?
Had no reply myself but I’m sure individuals at the club are very busyHave asked the chair of the supporters forum to reach out to the club on supporters behalf about the unused blocks
1) that's exactly what GPE was saying1. People aren’t saying that.
2. Weren’t you laughing and gloating about supporters clubs getting priority over everyone else last year?

Ok 500 thenI don’t think you get over 1,000 points if you haven’t had a season ticket before or even close to 900 unless buying every game individually and even then, not sure you can
Not making much money from the game though, the difference is pennies.
Average ticket price once you allow for lots of concessions is, say, £26. 28K gate = £728K, less VAT is £606K. We get 1/8th of that = total gate receipts of £75K. The difference if we were to sell the extra 2.5K tickets to Boro would barely cover the cost of extra stewarding/policing.
Other reasons for selling to tickets to them, but financially it makes no difference.
i think he means the total gate receipts we would get around £75k - so for the difference of 2000 supporters would be nearer 7k additional revenue with maybe 2k of extra costs - so we are talking 5k difference to give them a big advantageIt does really, I know it's an exceptional circumstance but imagine writing off £75k every home game, it's £2m a year.

The club probably underestimated the demand. Let's be fair, there were plenty on here questioning whether we'd sell out.
A lot of the problems above will be sorted if they can open the 4500 empty seats currently there.

After selling our Brum at home they under estimated the demand for a Championship Play Off Semi Final ticket??
Agreed but plenty on here doubted it.
We had a lower home crowd for the Notts County play off game than the game against Morecambe I the week before believe.
it was lost behind the "highfield Road 2 @ Warwick" folderYeah but we’re all idiots. This is their job. I’ve said it before but the fact the ground is 16 years old and we don’t have a folder marked “sell out Football game” somewhere is ridiculous.
