£17 a match, can't go wrong!

I was one that was moaning about matchday ticket prices , saving £5-6 match minimum is a very good deal , the club have done right with this , and there are no more excuses in my book to blame price as a factor in not going

 

[stupot07]

Should be 16-17k up there for the PNE game now.....

Excellent news. Means the me and the lad (who has never been before) can go up to more games. Well done to the Club for sorting something out.

By the way, all those who have sniped at me and other fellow fans for daring to suggest that they did something about a pricing strategy can fuck off!

 

[ccfcway]

Some people on sociall media still moaning thats it over a tenner , we have a fanbase that emulates the attitude of people at a car boot sale

What makes no sense to me is the idea that people need an 'excuse' not to go. It's not like you need to get a sicknote from your mum.

If people don't want to go, then they won't go. It is entirely up to the club to try and attract people to the Ricoh. And it is entirely up to those people to decide whether to go or not. Nobody needs any excuses, it's their own time and money to do with as they see fit .

I specifically said the price is no longer an excuse , i do understand that life is not all about football

 

[cov4theprem]

Good move by the club and very attractive pricing. Like the idea that you can buy 12 tkts and share them. They just need some success on the pitch now and people will give it a go / come back i'm sure.

Quite agree. But tell that to the people who were using ticket prices as an excuse when the reality was that most of them couldn't be arsed. Just say you can't be arsed, people!

Even when tickets are, say, £15 or so, some people would still not be able to afford to go if they were struggling financially, as many no doubt are. For a single person it may represent a slice of the weekly beer money. For some people it would still be impossible to find.

As for Skybluelee's point about 'not being arsed', unfortunately that has been the attitude of thousands of people who used to follow the club in past decades. Lots have been disillusioned over those years of the club being in the doldrums. Again, there is no excuse required. It is down to those that run the club to make sure there is an incentive for them to become 'arsed' again. One-offs won't work as there have been so many false dawns, usually linked with yet another new manager in post.

Yup quite right. I mean, I'm not going to buy a package because I might get there to find someone sat in my seat that I sat in for the Chelsea and Crewe games, but it's the rubbish excuses I can't stand.

 

[ccfcmad1]

Definitely looking at getting a match package, do you have to pick the matches you want to attend and get ticket stubs or can you decide on the day of a game?

 

[shmmeee]

Not bad at all. I might get one of them.

Say it quietly, but the club really seem to be listening to fans since the move home. The (Fisher) King is dead, long live King Waggot?*

*Still worried about long term future of the club, but progress is progress.

As I understand it, the flexible part of it is just that, you can turn up to whatever 6 home games you like (or 3 games with 2 people) and show your voucher(s) at the turnstile. Though feel free to correct me anyone.

Bang on that if correct!

Point still stands , many people can afford to go but choose not to , im sorry but teams with similar city sizes get bigger attendances than coventry with higher priced tickets , is coventry the poorest "large" city in england ....i think not

 

[Deleted member 5849]

That's better. Probably a daft question, but can you pcik and choose your six games in a package, or are you committing to six in a row?

I think the Idea Is you can use them when you wish and In multiples as you chose .

One question with that Is ,how does It allocate ,will there be problems with where to sit?

Not very likely I'm sure given likely attendance .

Other teams in similar cities who have been on a downward path for almost thirty years, and are now in League 1, and who have just returned from an unpopular groundshare 35 miles away, and are still taking the local council to court whilst talking about building a smaller ground somewhere outside the city?

You mean those kind of teams, right? It's just that I'm struggling to think of anyone like that.

Well I'm flexible, am happy to sit wherever they stick me and meet random mentalists all round the ground

Is your point " The football is not shit , the fans are"

Exactly the point. Similar cities to Coventry have teams where there has not been a consistent failure over the years. We should be at least on a par with the likes of Southampton, Leicester, Derby etc, who have seen hard times but also promotions and playoffs over the years. I have seen City win two championships, 1964 & 1967, one season in Europe, and one FA Cup. The cup win is an oasis in over 40 years of failure. Not once in all that time have we ever been even near of whatever division we have been in. So no wonder fans are disillusioned and don't bother any more.

I think it is a miracle we have as many as 10000 turning up every week after the way the fans have been treated and made to suffer over those years. I know a few people who have followed them for as long as me, but there is a sort of gallows humour about following City. Sadly, I know plenty more who were once at least occasional visitors to Highfield Road but the idea would never cross their mind to go now. The idea that they would need an excuse not to go is laughable.

In the time youve been supporting you must have seen the quality of football plummet, and so the crowds . People arnt like me and you that turn up whatever, some people need to see some results . Look at how many times weve finished in the top half of the league in the last 25 years. Crowds will flock back if we get to see results. You must be proud of the away following

Always proud of the away support, but yes i agree , a big part of the reason i go alot now , is because i missed out on several years of football as i was in the army

You have to acknowledge surely though that at least the club are trying to deal with concerns regarding pricing by doing these deals?

It's very competitive pricing and very flexible.

Sounds like the Gillingham game effect has worn off..
