I've bought 2 tickets online with no problems at all. Using Internet Explorer as well.
I've bought 2 tickets online with no problems at all. Using Internet Explorer as well.People haven't been able to get through on the phone or ticketing web-site. It seems the only way to buy a ticket has been to queue up at Gallagher Retail Store - where at times only 1 person was on the desk dealing with both season ticket renewals and general sales. Because of time constraints when I went over on Tuesday, I had to make a second visit on Wednesday! I shan't be doing that again as it's over an hour round trip for me plus queuing time, the club need to sort the logistics if they want to benefit from the current goodwill of fans.
I predict a crowd of 13,500 for this game, on the basis that of the 7 of us at Gillingham only 3 of us will be at this game. Varied reasons for the others not being there.
I reckon there would be less than 20 if it was a tenner.
Totally agree with all your sentiments..Surely that's 2,500 over and above the season ticket contingent of say 4,000. Even still that is a pathetic crowd at this stage!
On one hand, it really riles me with the bandwagoners who all pretend to be city fans for special one off occasions such as last Friday, Crewe, arsenal away etc. half of these fuckers posting selfies on Facebook won't set foot in the stadium again this season unless we need a win for the play offs or get through to the JPT area final again when they'll all be scrambling around for a ticket to get to Wembley!
On the other hand, the availability and accessibility of ticketing is a disgrace. Yes they have had the initial rush and fair play to them for selling out the ground for gillingham but why, 3 weeks later are people still struggling to get through? Why are season tickets not yet issued? Why should we have to go to them to collect? Someone higher up the line needs shooting because it is now beyond embarrassing, even more so taking into account the figures stayed by Grendel above.
They initially told me I couldn't sit in the north stand, so moved to the south stand. I was then told that I couldn't sit there so moved to block 17 in the easy stand. They now tell me my seat in the north stand is available and sent me a receipt transferring back tou original position. Had a missed call on Monday but haven't been able to get through to confirm ever since!
Reduced ticket prices would've seen the gates rise dramatically despite the hoo-hah to get a ticket. Back to nothek tomorrow then...i thought the wave of enthusiasm would least for a few games at least!! Saying that, I'll gladly wait in the beer queue for 2 minutes as opposed to the 20 last weekend now that the once a season brigade aren't in attendance!
Its just not true though is it. Goes from predicted 20k, to already sold 15k , to already sold 12k.... now only 2.5k? .... bit of a funny drop off that. Dont believe it for a second. Even just by the numbers of people in queues they have seen thats over 2500.
Where has the figure 2.5k tickets sold come from??

Stop with this doubling the price nonsense. Friday the price was halved from the norm.
£2 walk up thing is pissing me off personally now, im knackered at work and would love to just get to my sofa after work not drive tot ciket office

You can't change the team you support, end of!
Some people might think our last 2 games played are Gillingham and Crewe though!
Correct, but you can do other things with your Saturday afternoon.
People want to go I think but or 2 or 3 reasons they don't want to or can't.
Price is certainly a factor. £10 to £22-24 is over double. - Double what? It was a special offer for the Gillingham game, double normal prices I could understand.
2 games back to back weekends isn't the easiest for many with families and work commitments. - I can understand that
Yeovil town isn't a big draw for a lot of fans I'm afraid. - Doesn't matter the opposition does it? Why would people only go depending on the opposition if they support Coventry?
Tickets are obviously hard to get. Queuing in the shop is a joke. ST are proving difficult with tickets then you get your booklet. Online is hit or miss for some though chrome works just fine. - Yep, they should sort out the store and phone, but online seems OK now. Why stop people from buying?
Stands keep changing to what is open and what is not. Why? - Why would that stop people from going?
I still think the gate will be 10k+ But the club have seriously messed up here behind the scenes. Front line staff are working as hard as they can but with all of the above it's very hard.

I never said it wasn't. I'm just saying the price has doubled from 10 to 22-24. That's a fact. Whether or not it's 22-24 normally. That's not I said.
£22-24 is a lot to watch yeovil town who will bring how many? 400?
Surely home fans are paying to watch Coventry City?
Few replies

Went to Peterborough last season paid £24.00 and was put into a shit stand where you could not sit cos your knees caught up on the seat in front, bird shit all over the seats, shite view cos a bleedin pillar obstructing the view. So now i go up to the Ricoh in a nice comfortable stadium and i pay for that privaledge.Surely home fans are paying to watch Coventry City?
I definitely agree. I just think many at gillingham weren't major ccfc like us all on here. They will look at price or the gillingham special offer.
It has always been the case who you play brings in more supporters than normal. I'm sorry but this has always been the case. You will always get a few more thousand fans if you play Birmingham city or yeovil town.
I agree that the levels of excitement can vary on who the opposition is, but at the end of the day I just want to go and see the City play and hopefully win.
Don't think I have ever looked at a game and gone 'Oh, it's only Burton, I won't bother.' If City are playing at home I want to be there.
