WBA fans boycott for our game (5 Viewers)

[GIMOC]

As the baggies game got rearranged. Baggies fans are boycotting the game now due to the ticket prices. Don’t blame them in a way. They should have been offered a discount once it’s a midweek game.
Looks poor on the club and losing more revenue as a result

Yeah, it's not ideal. Fifty quid for an adult and child is way too much.

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Less support for them, all good. We will send them closer to relegation and us more up the table getting behind the boys

It's terrible pricing for kids .. full stop

 

[Adge]

Don’t blame them really. I remember Sheff Wed in L1 charging 30 odd quid which even though we wanted to go to the game I refused to pay.
Not just CCFC though-clubs really need to get with it.

It's not good for us take as 1700 tickets is worth at least £34k in gate receipts

The club have got their pricing completely wrong this season

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Said this before perhaps our club will have a rethink.Being expected to pay £33 for game in our league is plain stupid.Think Bristol City fans will do the same.It may be New Years day but the cost of their day out will be too much.

It would be wrong for a Saturday game, for a midweek games it's outrageous.

53 quid for an adult and kid , for anybody that may not know ..

That's our club ripping people off , I'd be furious paying that away from home

My dad and daughter paid I believe 26 for reading yesterday

Although I do think it’s expensive I’m not bothered they aren’t attending will hopefully make it more hostile for them on the pitch.

I'M bothered because it's money not coming in to our club.We hear many complaints about not having money to get player in or having to sell to survive.Earlier on this season we were not getting money with pitch problems, the shop loooks like it will shut at completely the wrong time.The money needs to be coming in.I've said before the way this club is being run is terrible some things we can't control but some are bad management.

Well thats what happens when you get greedy.

Just like landlords putting up the rent then tennants move out and you get nothing.

 

[shmmeee]

Because fan boycotts always reach 100%

 

[pusbccfc]

The moment it was rearranged, they should have reduced it to £25.

We have 4 home games over the Christmas period. The fact there isn't a deal on is poor.

A real lack of ticketing offers since we've been back at the Ricoh. They've thrown all their eggs into the season ticket basket

 

[skybluebeduff]

You all know the Home fans are being charged the same...

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

So is this a full on boycott, or an attempt to start one by a few disgruntled souls? I would expect them to bring 2000 regardless, and if they get a couple of good results before they play us maybe more.

The ones that come are paying more they won’t all boycott and who knows how many they would have brought anyway.

 

[AndreasB]

It is a rubbish price but actually says more about WBA and how they value their team . If they were top 3 like they think they should be then this wouldn’t be an issue and they would sell out. Unfortunately they are dogshit so they won’t and make excuses.

They will end up top 6

We know £33 is TOO MUCH any fan home or away should not be paying that in our league.

 

[Hutch11]

Reading initiative, £20 for away fans , everyone should've signed up for it

They’ve given back 1800 already. Not sure how many they originally sold but be less than 2000 baggies there that’s for sure

are you sure that's down to a boycott and not just because people can't be arsed midweek. Had a look on twitter and it seems to be one bloke and the replies agreeing with him are mostly from our fans!

 

[lordy_87]

I agree with the WBA fans stance and good on them, whatever way you look at it £33 to watch second division football for an adult and £20 for children is extortionate. I know some other teams charge similar, but it doesn't make it right.

I hope it makes the club reconsider their pricing for next season.

 

[alexccfc99]

If we boycotted every time we’ve been ripped off in the past few seasons we’d barely make a game - remember when P’boro charged us over £30 in L1

Grendel will cover 34k with loose change no worries

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

It baffles me why there is 3 scales of pricing. I can understand different pricing for midweek game and weekend matches.
I cant imagine any Coventry fans or even occasional fans being attracted to a game because its Watford, Stoke City or Bristol City. The reason for going to games is to see Coventry City. Just perhaps a very local derby might encourage someone to go who doesnt normally but who cares about it's Watford, Norwich, Stoke, Sunderland or Bristol City

I can see a justification in premier league when occasional fans might want to go if its Liverpool or some club like that.

This appears to me , just a lazy and 'copy cat' strategy that is weakening attendances and revenue and self defeating. I live 100 miles away and definitely avoid games that are 33 GBP and pick the lower two priced categories.

I sympathise with West Brom fans and and I'm sure many Coventry City fans will think @no, I will go to a cheaper game over Christmas" ie Cardiff City.

A bit much,but always love seeing a miserable baggies fan in there normal expression.

 

[GIMOC]

well either way that’s 1800 tickets we’ve lost money from. Whether you wanna call it a boycott or just midweek timing. Either way it’s not good for us. I imagine if the ticket prices changed we would be seeing more baggies here and in turn cov fans. Might be one of the lowest attendances of the season for us

last game before crimbo. Kids off school. Club should be trying their hardest to get kids n parents up there.

 

[CV22SBA]

Yeah exactly this it’s disgusting to be charging these prices no matter who the opposition is. I’ve paid less to watch premier league games.

I think a lot of it is how many away fans they anticipate & therefore cashing in on them. Certainly looks to have backfired in this instance.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Big ask if the top six is about 75 points.Thats over 2 points a game. Although i see they won their last three .

 

[The Great Eastern]

Went see us play at Ipswich over 10 years ago in the Championship. Away fans tickets were £32 even then. Thieving Suffolk scum...

 

[Ashdown]

I’m not going to lie my income has dropped down to next to fuck all so I have to watch money now. I won’t do either WBA or Bristol because of the pricing. I shall do Swansea and Cardiff as it represents better value.
