About villa charging adults 97 quid , he'd do well on here

All of these Uber capitalist's need to remember you need the next generation to continue forward with the plan maybe stick it on the adults instead?

Tottenham won’t be playing their reserves…

We are likely to make as many, if not more changes than them.

 

[wingy]

What are concession prices in this round in other games then?

The simple fact is we don't appear to value kid's much,on here at least.

 

[wingy]

That’s your choice. It’s no different to away games either. You don’t have to pay for things like food, a programme or potentially parking.

Some people will look at as an opportunity to see class players. I don’t think it’ll be Spurs reserves at all, we’re a potential banana skin and shown last season we can beat Prem teams.

In your mind, what should the ticket prices be in your view?

Oh fuck off!

Had a look at a few who are in a similar boat to us - Preston, Walsall, Wimbledon - and to be fair they are all charging significantly less. Wycombe haven't released yet.

I suppose we’re just lurching from outrage to outrage now.

I’ve got no issue with it. Probably the best/biggest team we’ll play all season and the chance of a very memorable result.

spot on, just Because we didn’t sign a midfielder, moaning about anything now, if it was spurs in the semi final i think it might be a slightly different reaction, think there’s only 2 home games this month, surely you’d expect to pay roughly £60 to watch 2 games ? And ones spurs,no pleasing some of our fans

That’s up to QPR how they operate. Without the data to hand, DK has clearly identified fraud in the kids ticket prices that the club is trying to stamp out.

Again, 20-25% of STHs being concessions was inflated and being abused. The club is trying to improve its commercial footing and the bigger picture is that our ticketing policy is actually quite reasonable.

He could lower kids prices and ask for proof of ID at time of purchase and on entry
I'm sure that'd go down equally as well

That's just a word salad of non sequiturs.

How much is that in GBP?

 

[AJB1983]

Might have already been said.
Also for context, these prices are exactly the same as the Oxford Utd league match.
Friday night granted, first home game of season granted, but also on tv.
Attendance was 28k.
So some people were happy to pay that to see a recently promoted team play us.
So it’s the going rate for a standard home game really.
cheaper prices are done to encourage people to come to what is a less attractive fixture - such as the Oxford cup game.

Most people at that Oxford game were paying £17 as part of their season ticket prices to be fair.

A lot, apologies to MMB

22k were season ticket holders. only 6k paid full whack

for this game. I would say 17k season ticket holders will take up the game which leaves 10k+ non season ticket holders to pay full whack. could be wrong but can’t see 10k arm chair fans paying that

 

[GIMOC]

reference to the villa but this could be us next based on the past 12 months

It's difficult to know.

We haven't had many big sides play at the CBS. Chelsea are the only giant.

Spurs are the biggest side to play here since 2009. The likes of Son and Maddison are globally recognised PL names.

The local 'we turn up to big occasions' mob that go to Wembley or watched London Wasps like this sort of fixture. The city of Coventry is full of that type of person.

 

[shmmeee]

Record season ticket sales
Record shirt sales
Away following selling out
Superstore doing well
Wembley FA Cup allocation sell out
I could go on
This isn’t London
It’s a working class city

As all of that is true you could argue we are pricing too low

*ducks*

 

[eyesee]

if we don't like these ticket prices we're gonna hate it when we get promoted.

 

[pusbccfc]

But ultimately this is where fans of English football clubs need to have a think of where we want the game to go.

We either scrap the financial fair play rules and allow a free for all (like Birmingham in League 1) which will see rich owners spend whatever they want. That may drop this rampant increase in ticket prices.

Or

We have a serious conversation about draining English football of talent and allowing the likes of Saudi to take the best players and push for wage decreases. Would supporters of Man United and Arsenal accept season tickets being 50% cheaper if it meant they lost their best players?

Our fan base, especially those that follow the team away is full of people from wealthier areas outside of Coventry, including big numbers from London.

fa cup is different to league cup

fa cup weekend more notorious competition

league cup midweek on sky many armchair fans will watch at home or pub instead of paying £37

Not round here!

also London has many shitty areas, Spurs come from one of them

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

We’re paying £37 to see Bristol and Watford away… of course this game v Spurs was going to be Cat A prices.

£30 to watch a game of football just isn’t that much money when you take inflation into account.

People want football clubs to spend millions on players yet moan when ticket prices are £30 a pop. That is easily spent in a pub to watch the game.

The reason the away tickets are so much is because he wont sign up to the reciprocal pricing agreements and its our own away supporters that end up paying for it.

Course it is pal

 

[Deity]

tricky one for Robins.

can you credibly put a weakened side out when you are charging £37 a ticket ?

In charging a premium the club are selling a premium experience not Tavares, Allen, Wilson et al …

 

[ccfc1234]

It will sell out as people with a passing interest who may not have gone to Wembley will go to a game like this.

Can't see anything on the official regarding prices, can someone link me

How many teams actually do this pricing agreement though?

Don't think it matters too much when a big team comes to town.

It's an occasion. You make effort to go to it. There's a chance of it being memorable.

 

[pusbccfc]

Half the flags at away games have random towns and villages on them. Most supporters clubs fill a coach or two for away games.

 

[blunted]

Be very surprised if this is not a near sell out.
Unless we are really pants between now and then, I would still expect a big crowd. Lot of floating supporters will turn up. Hope they don't kill the atmosphere like the Chelsea match.

We froze season ticket prices when after the club had the season it did, it made sense to cash in. So charging a bit extra for in-demand cup matches, I have no qualms with. It's likely going to be a 1 in 50 match - odds our that we have more draws like Oxford at home than Tottenham or another Top 6 team.

The club fundamentally got it right on the big thing that matters: season tickets. That's where loyal supporters got a small reward for our continued support and at the same time attracted new supporters.

 

[StrettoBoy]

At these prices you could probably go to a dozen matches with the money saved by being one of those lucky enough not to get an Oasis ticket.
