[Archived] Fa Cup Next Round

[Lancaster Rover]

Lot of W11 and W12 current unavailable, weird as it can't be due to season ticket seat claims, must be saving that area for corporates/comps.

E04 is open. Just looks as if the first 7 or so rows are closed off.

Makes sense they will be sat at front then they are sat on row 7

[MarkBRFC]

I can't understand people moaning about the price, nobody seemed to mind paying £30 against Liverpool a couple of years back.

I think they could have done something for the folk who went against Blackpool though, even if it's just a £5 refreshment voucher or something.

[Lancaster Rover]

I don't see a problem with the price, if anything I see £29 quid against Leeds on a Tuesday night in January more of a problem than £30 against United.

I imagine it's £30 as that is the maximum price in the premier league for away fans, so United fans will be used to paying £30 quid. In business terms the 7000 united fans paying 30 quid a go will cover the loss of any Rovers fans not turning up down to pricing. 

[Jock]

Whatever peoples thoughts on boycotting the last round. I think the fact that there is no discount for fans that did attend against Blackpool is shocking.

 I don't think that is legally possible as the ticket arrangements and prices must be the same for both clubs

[Jock]

Your right Hank. keep forgetting about the FA. Isn't that the bent lot who take bungs and shag their secretaries?

Given the Manure game is on the telly and the tickets are priced at £30 I can see many Rovers fans choosing to spend less than £30 and watch it down the pub.

I won't be watching it on TV either.

[Al]

I'm a bit pigged off that this has been rescheduled for a Sunday as I have to go to a family christening that afternoon and will have to miss it. I'll be at the QPR match though.

Bloody TV! It's not even Sky it's sodding BT that nobody has so I can't even record it.

I think United play in the Europa League on the Thursday so even if it wasn't on TV it would have been on the Sunday unfortunately! 

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

There are many valid reasons to not go but I don't think £30 tickets is one of them.

Its not cheap but it is probably lot less than you would be paying at any other Championship club for a game of this size. I don't think it's fair to criticise the ticket pricing.

 

[tomphil]

The lack of incentive to season ticket holders is very poor and there's only about 8k so they wouldn't have lost out much giving a bit of discount.

huddersfield are charging  from £20 for man city and its not on tv

 

wolves from £25 for chelsea

[MarkBRFC]

Man Utd will always be a bigger draw than Chelsea and Man City I'm afraid, Think we charged £20 against Man City a couple of years back although it was the third round.

United are a bigger team. I think 30 is about right. I don't think it's enough for people to feel outraged.

[gumboots]

Well theyre not that keen to sell tickets. Know someone from Langho who was told he didnt fit the criteria despite having been on the database for years

Give discounts to any Man U fan who went to Rovers V Blackpool too. That makes it fair.

My lad n me not going.....

Its £31 too much to watch Venkys FC

Fortunately we are not watching Venkys FC.  £30 for watching Blackburn Rovers in a tie against United seems about right and plenty buying tickets at Ewood yesterday.

[blue kiwi]

is it sold out yet?

[Tom]

I'm not going, not boycotting just would rather save £30 and watch at home. Apathy more than anything, wake me up when we get to Wembley I'll join the bandwagon then

Yes there were queues all down Bolton road.... Not one person there when I got mine PB 

[Mattyblue]

To be fair, there was a massive queue pre game on Saturday, though as it was a matchday, how many were just your usual core of match goers?

Will it sell well enough for even the BBEnd Upper to be opened, nevermind a complete sell out?
