Shame really, RFC was really looking forward to the game.
Saying that, I am not too sure what he expected by going in the shop and kicking off at the people in there who don't set the prices?
JSB, it is free for the whole season for a small amount.
Although I agree under a certain age should be free on the gate but then it means the JSB has no benefit.
I am not too sure why they didn't say to him "sign her up to the JSBs for a tenner, she will get a free gift, invites to parties and loads of vouchers and free entry"
I took my five year old to the Yeovil game with a view to signing her up as a JSB if she enjoyed it and i have to say that the £10 did feel like a smack in the face and its only because I'm a dedicated as I can be fan with one eye on if my five year old wants to go regular it would mean I have the perfect excuse to go more.
Sadly she give up by half time after a bright start.
It's like the club has no interest in the next generation. Don't get me wrong JSB is a great idea but there is no try before you buy and like others have said £10 for a 3 year old is taking the piss when the stadium is empt and you look at other forms of entertainment where kids under a certain age get in for free.
There's more than 1 reason the stadium is only 1 third full and this is one of them. You would think that when the stadium is basically empty under 10's for free with an accomanying adult would be proactive as would under 18's for a fiver.
Think there are offering kids for a quid Colchester game
Sign her up to the JSB's and get her to the kids parties and stuff they put on. The people on that side of it do a great job, the one at Christmas was great.
I agree about letting them in, but what incentive is there for the JSB? I don't think £20 or whatever is a massive amount for a whole season ticket, you then get the vouchers for family packs (2 adults and 2 kids for £20), a kids ticket for £1 and free gifts etc etc.
It could be me, but I find it difficult to work out how much it would cost me and my boy to go!
Here - http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/jsb-keepers-memberships-coventry-city-170614-1352551.aspx it states that -
This Membership is priced at £20 for the 2014/15 season.
The Sky Blue Keeper will get the following benefits:
Free Season Ticket in the Family Zone**
with the asterisks being explained as
** Child must be under 12 on August 31, 2014. Proof of age will be required. Available only when child is located next to an Adult Season Ticket. Terms and Conditions
apply.
I don't have a Adult Season Ticket, so after buying JSB membership for £20, how much would it cost us on a matchday?
So I then head here - http://www.ccfc.co.uk/tickets/ticket-prices/ which has a nice asterisk next to the 'JSB Under 12's = £0', but no explanation of what the asterisk means!
And I'm still none the wiser. Feel free to point it out if I'm missing the obvious!

Really? Don't think I have ever paid a penny for a JSB ticket.
Yeah, they do do a lot of kids for a quid.
Yep - Cost me a penny for the ticket. I booked online so maybe that is the reason.

Was this stone faced turnstile operator a short Scottish 60 odd woman with short blonde hair and glasses? Eveytime I try to get in with a junior ticket (even though I'm concession ) she's the only one who stops me! I know I look old for my age but its not like I'm a 50 year old scruffy bloke with a beard trying to get in with a kids ticket. Do you want people to turn up to games or what? Hate people who take their jobs too seriously. Applied for her job now anyway so anyone trying to get in with a slightly dubious ticket I will let them know what turnstile and when etc.
Its third division football, not customs!
Less of the 50 year old stuff - I'm 49!
No offence intended my dads 51 and I couldn't have described him more accurately
Cheers for your responses.
I get now that the Free Season Ticket in the Family Zone** being dependent on an adult season ticket refers to a specific seat next to the adult season ticket holder, rather than the cost of sitting anywhere in the Family Zone after buying JSB membership (which would be £0). Maybe the section in bold should read 'Free entry to the Family Zone' (for people like me...).
I suspect I'll get JSB Membership for my boy next season, but don't know now whether my daughter would be interested come August time. Maybe the club should do the first few games at the start of next season as kids for a quid as a trial before buying JSB membership, or refund the ticket price paid if JSB membership subsequently bought, or issue a voucher now for a free JSB ticket next season.
Cant disagree that it's a good package, just feel they don't really market it that well.

If you sign your lad up, you get a few vouchers that you can then use to take your daughter for a quid
