Its a £2 discount. Not a £2 charge.
It wasn't a myth, the club have accepted there is/was a problem with the website. In fact it's part of the reason for stopping the £2 charge.

Could well be the case; however, the essence of SBL's point remains - there really are no excuses. We all know that whether for today's game or not, we will be back to the 10K hardcore, which is pretty lamentable for a city of our size.
Now the walk-up surcharge has gone along with the myth that buying tickets online is arduous, I look forward to reading some new made up excuses as to why the people of Coventry won't come and support their team after a year away.
Because its absolutely not repeat not because a huge number of them simply can't be arsed..

Ah, the '10K hardcore' nonsense again. Totally oblivious to the fact we are currently getting our worst gates for about 50 years - so decidely UNtypical of this club, and yet completely unwilling to engage in sensible discussions about the reasons for that and how we might reverse the trend.
I think it is pretty lamentable that Wolves got league gates of less than 3K in the fourth division, but then there were reasons for that and the club rebuilt itself and tapped back in to their massive fanbase. All clubs have seen big fluctuations in their support over the years, why shoud we be any different?
The biggest contributing factor is success on the pitch. If we are up or around the play offs or even better close to automatic promotion the gates will be 20k plus. Coventry is not different to any other city or football club.

I work in Manchester, so no chance of getting to the shop to queue for tickets.
But I decided I wanted to go last weekend, so I ordered tickets online in less than a minute and my ticket arrived in the post early on in the week.
Moral of the story........ planning ahead
Yep!
Bought my ST on the first day they were available and my post has just been this morning and still no Yeovil ticket, so now have to go to the Gallagher or the Ricoh to pick it up.
Planning ahead works for sure. :facepalm:
I haven't seen a single post where it is being argued that reducing prices won't bring in any more supporters.
What people have been saying is that income may reduce as the number going won't be sufficient to make up the difference, you agree with this.
Snap. Feel slightly irritated that I have to go and collect them. It's says you have to go to the Ricoh from 11 on the ccfc site. No mention of the Gallagher, unless you've heard differently?
No, stu.
Some people have said though that they went to Gallagher and they had a box of envelopes with the tickets in for ST holders.
Am now guessing this box will have been passed over to the Ricoh.
It's a mess isn't it and I can see why it is putting people off. For those of us who bought season tickets two weeks ago I find it totally ridiculous that we haven't got tickets for today's game.
Try reading again what I did post. I said it might not bring in more income. I didn't say that anyone is saying that it wouldn't bring in more people. There can't be anyone on here that stupid can there........
Or did some say that reducing prices by £4 wouldn't make any difference?
They have given season ticket holders paper tickets for the Preston game as well, that indicates they are not expecting to get on top of it until then....It's a joke. Hope the team make it all worth the trouble today. PUSB
Agreed Otis. They should have send out paper tickets for both the gillingham and Yeovil games to ST's in that first week, it would have bought them a little more time. My gillingham ticket arrived in good time but a no show this morning.
Also feeling annoyed at car parking, they have another event so only one car park and I'm struggling to get hold of the car park office to order one.
And with the parking situation, will we be able to park up and collect the tickets from 11?

Yes, just got mine. Queue forming as we speak and just 2 windows open. Inside the office they seemingly have all the ST's tickets for todays game in individual envelopes. Gave me Yeovil and Preston tickets.
Expecting the queue to grow and grow. Seems quite slow moving.
Some should get them half time then.
Doesn't look promising and with just 2 windows that is going to make the whole process slow. When I finally got to the window I was served within about 30 secs, but many more in front of me seemed to be many minutes at the window. Am guessing they were buying tickets rather than picking up ST game ticket ones.
I was only there half an hour, but then there were only about 20 people in front of me and it was before the offical 11 a.m.opening time.
The queue was considerably bigger when I left.
Maybe they should just do what most other sporting events do and have a separate kiosk or something for collecting tickets... That would be too easy though. Hopefully when the queue is still big 15 mins before KO they just go down the queue and hand the tickets out to people. Again I don't hold out much hope though! Haha.
Sounds to me like they haven't even bothered posting out the majority of tickets.

Just got here....queue is pretty big. 30 mins they reckon.

I got there 10 mins early, about 20 in front. 20 mins in queue and 7mins at counter.
Only wanted my own ticket and handed over receipt, so shouldn't have took to long.
Queue was quite long when I left. Can see problems looming!
You don't even live around Coventry do you, its a very poor bit of planning.
Poor Planning all round. If they'd have not said they were posing them out and to come and collect I would have picked them is earlier this week. But they said they were posting them but to collect if they don't turn up - I've waiting for todays post to come, they didn't arrive.

Exactly the same here. I could have collected them days ago, but we were told they were posted out, so I waited untilt he final pst this morning. Seems to me sthat lots and lots of tickets simply weren't posted out at all. If that is the case they should have said so and asked us to collect them.
Or is that too simple?
