Spurs Tickets (15 Viewers)

Then I't doesn't matter how much they charge does it? Ultimately the club knows that for all the online whinging people still go up anyway.

Precisely , so for this game I'll watch on the TV. Let's see how many Aston Vile fans boycott their CL games with their prices of £85-£95 quid .

[napolimp]

Not really, people doing it out of loyalty to the club, doesn’t make it right.

So it was redundant then.

 

[procdoc]

I paid my 30 quid and begrudged it but I want to go to the game. If I want to go then I have to pay it, simple really

 

[Ricketts]

Is the ticket office open today?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

To be fair, while I don’t think the ST price is too far out of what I expected, the kid price seems unreasonable high. We could of easily won some good grace and said kid ST go free when a adult ticket ST is bought.

Worried to be fair over how much fans get rinised these days over the kits, tickets and even price of food in stadiums.

Don’t think this will change here unless we adopt the 49% - 51% split in football as can’t expect fans to give up on it. Just due to how important football clubs are to people

 

[mmttww]

So it was redundant then.

You're dying on a weird hill here. People have an issue with what feels like price gouging. Tickets for this are 66% more expensive for kids than normal for a competition most don't give a f*ck about and for which we normally put out a second XI. What's your issue with fans questioning that?

 

[Grendel]

I'm thinking of giving this a miss now.

Chances are Spurs will play a weakened team due to the Arsenal fixture, but will probably still beat us. Midweek, nights drawing in, on TV - £37. Not feeling it.

You'd expect it to still get a decent attendance, though it will go to general sale and I expect a fair few people who've never gone before will buy tickets because it's Spurs. We've not had a big name at the stadium for years and the last time queues for tickets were around the block.

I understand the issue with kids prices, but I think King will be thinking a lot probably wouldn't be going on a school night regardless so making tickets cheaper isn't going to make a huge difference on attendance. I'd be surprised if he wasn't trying to suspend the FZ for this one off match to sell as many tickets as possible at the highest price.

Also surprised he's discounted ST holders - surely the benefit of that is getting priority to book. You get your financial benefits from the. ST in the league games

The one good thing about the price is the acknowledgment that season ticket holders are able to buy at a lower price. It encourages buying one and a reward for commitment and loyalty

& disadvantages those further that can't afford a season ticket. As a season tkt holder I would prefer to see 1 price for all.

......... and not forgetting that season ticket holders already get a huge discount on matchday prices as it is compared to those unable to commit to going week in week out.

So? Without season ticket holders we don’t have a club

Where did I say we should not have any season ticket holders?

 

[Grendel]

They deserve rewards as they are the premium supporters - it’s bizarre anyone would deny them a discounted price and resent that

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

In all honesty I have no problem season tickets benefitting from nice early bird deals. I just don't see why they should also get cheaper deals in the cup. The season ticket holders hardly turned up in force for the Oxford game in the last round after all!

I can’t commit to going to away games every week. That doesn’t mean I oppose those who do getting higher priority for away tickets.

The question for ST holders is the same.

 

[Warwickhunt]

I paid £26 which is not as bad as most but think children should be £15 or less

The away priority ticket holders don't get cheaper tickets though!

To clarify on this:
1) I think its great we have so many season ticket holders. Having over 20,000 commit to it has undoubtedly been one of the factors in the upward vibes around the club.
2) In return those season ticket holders get a significant discount on match tickets amounting to approximately £250 over a season. Again, given that commitment, and the positive affect on the club as a whole, that discount is justified.
3) The cups are different though. Many season ticket holders don't bother going to the non glamorous games, and for that reason I don't see why they should get a discount when we do get a glamour tie. Sure I read on here that Spurs fans have to be charged the £30 rate in line with that discounted price too? Seems unfair to me that our non season ticket holders should pay more than the Spurs fans. To my mind it should have been £35 across the board for 'all' adults.

it’s amazing how many season ticket holders couldn’t find the time or money a few years ago and now can. Regardless if it’s a benefit for loyalty what’s your problem?

Season ticket holders have made an up-front commitment and put their money down in advance, often before even knowing what the fixture list is and if there are any games they can’t make. They should definitely be rewarded for that.

That's fine for those who live in the area ,no good me having a season ticket as I live 6400 miles away.

 

[Hutch11]

In that case you'd have to pay the same for the games you can make as you do the spurs game
I understand that not everyone is in a privileged position as us season ticket holders but I can't see the argument here

Which is what I said!

I'm fine with season ticket holders benefiting from a discounted match by match rate for league games. What I don't agree with is them getting further discounted tickets in cup competitions over and above other supporters, particularly when they have not been shown to commit to buying tickets in earlier rounds. If we had over 20,000 turn up for the Oxford cup game then obviously there would be more of a case for rewarding season ticket holders with a cup discount too but that wasn't the case.

I can kind of get the point really, probably 10k season ticket holders didn't get to that one, but then it's another dividing line in economic arguments that are occurring more regularly which I don't think is a good thing for everybody?

 

[mmttww]

...should definitely be rewarded for that.

and they are. It's massively cheaper per match. Don't buy the argument it should entitle them to discounts on games they had no clue would happen when they paid for their season ticket. Some are making out like they made a donation. Let's not overdo it.

It's a way to reward financial loyalty to the club. Tell you what, as neither me or my wife are going, we'll buy them at £30 and you can have them at face value...

 

[CovValleyBoy]

So everyone pays £37?

£30 top price, for all, seems good to me for this particular match. Excluding hospitality.

I don't think season ticket holders should become adversarial with non season tkt holders. Proper City fans are all shapes & sizes and have different wallets & circumstances. All welcome. Surely we want to maximise the attendance for every home match.

Well I don’t see how a season ticket holder getting a cheaper ticket would stop a casual fan going

£37 is reasonable it’s a Cat A fixture

 

[procdoc]

I know someone that paid £70 to watch Villa vs Arsenal so £37 for a non season ticket holder isn’t unreasonable in comparison

When I don't have an issue, I don't post. You keep responding to people which is a pretty strong sign you've got a point to make, and the issue people have was with U18s prices unless someone can show me otherwise.

For people like you it will be.
