Seriously thinking of knocking this on head on principle.
Really poorly thought out.

A lot of negative reaction seeing as still a week to go.....

If it's like this this time next week i'd understand!

Let's be honest, if you were going to go you'd have purchased by now no?

Unless those on weekly pay are eyeing this Friday but weekly pay is rare isn't it?

 

[Tommo1993]

Are they allowed to cut prices on the tickets now they’ve already been on sale?

It would be even more disrespectful to even more fans who’ve bought, but as an attempt for him to try and save face?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Waiting for saddle to rip Doug one

Hahaha. I'm torn

I'm half laughing at it because it shows that people have said na mate you're mugging us off

But I'm half disappointed, we will look proper tinpot if we cant get over 25k for this

 

[Alex1987]

I think there will be about 20k or so in the end..

 

[Ashdown]

If you care to check the system, there are tickets selling all the time and it’s in the middle of the working day. Sales will pick up no end after work.

 

[Sky]

Don't know why the only threshold they have set is for 200 points and nothing else...surely the vast majority of people with 200+ points would have a season ticket anyway? Points thresholds wrong again just like Wembley

Depends really, but I get your point!

 

[Tommo1993]

So there’s gonna be a massive influx of sales of badly priced tickets in the second week of sale. And those who are sceptical and loudly disapprove of the prices are wrong.

Gotcha.

I think for games like this against teams that will 100% sell out their away allocation they put points thresholds on to prevent away fans buying in the home end. I expect they'll revise it down to any purchase history if we don't sell out.

 

[skybluecam]

To be fair I'm baffled by that. Not sure why any ST holders would pass up the chance to see what may be our most memorable game of the season over £30.

 

[David O'Day]

So if, like me, you want to bring a non ST holder you have to pay an extra 7 quid?

yeah, according to what they said, the £30 price was only until 10am today

We won't look tinpot because our league crowds are very good , what it will show actually is that people didn't agree with the pricing

The pinch is real. For many there is far, far better and important things to lump £30 on.

We will look tinpot. First premier league team here for over a decade (not counting stoke as we were L2) and we can't muster 20k? That's about as tinpot as it gets

 

[Grendel]

Then if it’s money no one would pay £25 either

Gotcha.

Season ticket holders have decided that they actually don’t want to pay £30 for their seat and actually want to pay £37 instead. Genius from Doug!

 

[Evo1883]

How when we get 27-28000 in the league atm ?

It clearly shows the pricing structure is wrong

Of course it needs a threshold to stop away fans buying tickets but something like 50 points+ would be more than enough to prevent this. The fact that they've only got one threshold at 200 and basically indicated no other priority windows will be open just shows that they have got the numbers wrong again

 

[Tommo1993]

Every penny counts doesn’t it. That price could’ve made a (probably insignificant) difference. Think it’s madness that it’s anything over £20 for the ST holder.

Don’t know why I’m going this deep, I’ve got mine. Just think this is all a total misfire.

For what is a comparatively meaningless game too - £30+ was horrendous.

£20 to watch a top 6 premier league team is far too cheap

The kids tickets are the real problem.

Families have just forked out loads to go back to school and have just covered school holidays with things to do , now doug thinks the average coventrian lives like they do in Los Angeles and thinks charging families hard prices in-between league games was a great idea

Yes it’s the concessions and let’s be honest if this was away we’d sell 10,000 tickets

 

[skybluecam]

Just seems odd compared to the price of a season ticket (~£500), price of away tickets (e.g. Watford was £35) and our own matchday prices. If you're dedicated enough to get a ST in the first place I find it odd you wouldn't pay the extra £30 for this game.

Are Tottenham fans going to be able to restrain their laughter when they wander into a half full stadium because we do alright for league attendances?

Are they fuck

They will, rightfully, mercifully mock us

Going for Cov tbh, so it’s immaterial.

 

[Evo1883]

We would , but I've paid mine it's middle of the month after families have forked out .. should have been a good deal for families .

Wimbledon and qpr both charging considerably less against premier league opposition, qpr kids are free with a paying adult for a London Derby

Except it won't be meaningless if we win will it, it'll be a scalp that gets talked about for years.

Same here mate. Sure its a shitty competition and they will rest some players but how often do we get Premier League teams at home, let alone one of the 'big' clubs?

Can't quite get my head around anyone being happy to pay out for a season ticket but drawing the line to pay £30 to watch Spurs.

We do seem to have an issue where a large section of our support expects things to be priced lower than for every other club and kick off if it isn't.

Will look shit and no doubt we'll get the piss taken out of us by other clubs but we've only got ourselves to blame. At least the queues should be short at half time!

Saddle with respect I don't care what spurs fans think of our crowds .. and maybe you shouldn't either .

The problem is quite clearly the cost , which football fans should all be onside with

 

[chiefdave]

The kids tickets are the real problem.

But we keep being told kids can't go to midweek games and its totally unreasonable of King to expect people with tickets in the family zone to actually turn up.

 

[wingy]

Not forgetting England women playing towards the end of the month,@£40 a ticket, not all cov but quite a decent chunk,they will conscious of that as,as a parent the girls will want to go,heck I may even!!

 

[Tommo1993]

“comparatively”. When it’s put next to the main objective of the league. We’d all take a thumping if it meant getting promoted later on.

 

[Evo1883]

I've always stated I've taken my kids to night matches .. so you should probably tell the people that moan about that

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I’m excited tbf, might mean it won’t take an hour to get back to Earlsdon
