Most season tickets sold on the first day ever. Imagine how many staff you’d need to process that… The only important figure, is how many have been sold by the last day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can make every home league game.

Mattyblue Posted May 25, 2024 Share Posted May 25, 2024 (edited) It really is outrageous to say to long standing fans, often elderly ones ‘give us an extra tenner’. Like those airport guards in Turkey or wherever with their palms out. The brass neck of it. Edited May 25, 2024 by Mattyblue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Mike E Posted May 25, 2024 Backroom Share Posted May 25, 2024 Had a slight rethink. While I still think ticket prices should be lower than they are, I’d probably be less harsh on them if my boys were old enough to take. The price for one adult and two kids is excellent value, but I think the value for me going on my own isn’t. The lowest price is what I think the highest price should be.

Obvious caveat is it's an affluent area but they also don't sell out and are in the fourth tier. Quite frightening prices for that level of football IMO My local club, York City charge £22 on a match day and they are in the national league.

Mattyblue Posted May 25, 2024 Share Posted May 25, 2024 Match day tickets possibly, but STs are very affordable at a lot of clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they give you a ticket with a QR code on, you walk to the turnstile and the lad then tries to scan it with his phone. Often it won't work so he just lets you through anyway. Digitilization - The answer to everything the world couldn't turn without it, how did we manage ! A fantastic future of corporate greed and laziness whilst putting people out of work, sensation stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said to Wheeton Blue, the games will either be play on Friday night, Saturday dinner time, Saturday 3pm and Sunday dinner time(Elliott Jackson's comments on his Arte Et Labore podcast). Maybe odd evening Saturday game. Plus any midweek or Bank Holiday games. I can get to all no problems just like I have done for games over years. My job or my family life doesn't interfere with me attending games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I understand that, many people will plan holidays etc round fixtures where they can, it drives my mum mad that my dad does it. But they're all subject to change and to know that you have every Friday night, Saturday or Sunday, Tuesday or Wednesday night free from August to May is quite frankly a ridiculous statement, or you never get invited anywhere or plan weekends away etc. I don't know a single season ticket holder that didn't miss a game last season for one reason or another. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted May 26, 2024 Share Posted May 26, 2024 Anybody who saw every game of that torturous Ewood campaign should’ve been brought on the pitch and given a certificate like 100% attenders in school assembly. Luckily I was away a fair bit and missed three or four (didn’t miss a win though obviously). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted May 26, 2024 Share Posted May 26, 2024 I meant last season! At least we won plenty in L1, as embarrassing as it was to be down there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
