How much money do the club make from food and beverage in the family stand ?
How much money do the club make from food and beverage in the family stand ?Honestly I get where Doug is coming from here, He got absolutely battered in to extending the family zone last season allowing a lot of cheap adult tickets to be sold and a lot of seats locked out at £50 which is bloody cheap. On top of this people don't turn up which reduces the amount made through the food and beverage tills. 1/3rd of tickets not being used is frankly taking the piss.
It's not just the family area where season ticket holders aren't turning up . There are vast areas of the north stand in general where ticket holders aren't showing up even for bigger matches .
Going on holiday is a privilege , not a right . Lots of families go on holiday in August and buy a season ticket knowing full well they may miss a match during the summer holidays. Still they shell out for a ticket though. Perhaps they should consider the consequences of this move by the club before shelling out .
Very poor customer relations to threaten to take peoples season ticket away."You can buy a season ticket thank you very much but be warned you WILL attend or else your ticket will be taken away, without refund, and you will be banned from buying a season ticket next time round as a punishment"
We're not exactly crying out for a bigger stadium are we?
.
I was 50/50 as to whether I should renew having missed a number of matches but given this " threat" I'm happy not to bother .
Sooner or later this will be extended to the entire home areas.
Honestly not a scooby but it will be at least something. It just compounds the face a load of seats have been locked down to basically 2 quid a game.How much money do the club make from food and beverage in the family stand ?
How much revenue have the club lost 23/24 in that family corner then ?Invalid argument. Season ticket holders outside of the FZ aren't depriving other people of discounted tickets.
33% going forward if the Club's press release is accurate.How much revenue have the club lost 23/24 in that family corner then ?
The club clearly think they can make more money from this then the customers that they will lose. There must be a long waiting list.Very poor customer relations to threaten to take peoples season ticket away.
Not everything revolves around money and short term thinking!!!!
33% of what ? They sold out in 2 weeks , you said .33% going forward if the Club's press release is accurate.
Absolutely. They're using this as a trial. It will inevitably apply to the whole ground.Think most clubs don't allow ticket exchange unless its a sell out so maybe they'll start it with the family zone and then we've got the infrastructure ready to go if / when the rest of the ground sells out

How if they are all sold?
For every child seat the club would need to sell it 2 games a season to break even...The club clearly think they can make more money from this then the customers that they will lose. There must be a long waiting list.
Exactly the point I was making . Perhaps they forsee being able to sell as many tickets twice over as they can.How if they are all sold?

1/3 don’t turn up which could be sold to families who actually go. Including kids who will grow up to support us
Do you think it stops here or a creeping formula?Invalid argument. Season ticket holders outside of the FZ aren't depriving other people of discounted tickets.
How many kids will be able to attend that many midweek games ? Not surprised at all by these statistics . I wonder how many Saturday matches are actually missed compared to midweek matches. I doubt it's anywhere near 1/3 and the club would know.1/3 don’t turn up which could be sold to families who actually go. Including kids who will grow up to support us
So it seems that not having a ST is the best option.How many kids will be able to attend that many midweek games ? Not surprised at all by these statistics . I wonder how many Saturday matches are actually missed compared to midweek matches. I doubt it's anywhere near 1/3 and the club would know.
Loads will miss matches in August because they're on holiday, whatever the penalty.

Don't Man United have a three-strikes-and-your'e-out initiative to do with missing matches? That could even be for away season ticket holders I guess.not sure how anyone can laud this idea
1) you buy a season ticket, that’s your ticket for the season. you’ve bought into the process and adding funds to the club. what you do with that ticket is your prerogative
2) ticket exchange only works if the cbs is sold out week on week which it won’t be while still in the championship. even the games where we ‘sold out’ there were tickets available the day before.
3) Doug was happy to take money and not worry about non attendance after the United game was announced. many bought tickets just for points and not bother with the game (Ipswich and hull games prime example)
I wonder what will happen if you can't attend, let's say, a midweek game with an expected turn out of no more than 23k.
You inform the club accordingly. The club fails to sell your ticket (s).
Does that count towards your three strikes? Do the club inform you the ticket was sold or not ?
No one wanted your seat and therefore you haven't deprived anyone else .

I can understand it for a club like that but not us..
Disgusting if they are selling them at x4 the price. Resell them at face value, fair enough, but don’t rip people off. At clubs where they sell out every week, the system of reselling tickets of people who can’t make the game is fair enough.united are bringing a QR code system in which means the QR code changes every 10 mins. means you can’t forward to friends proper the match. the ticket exchange system for United means the club resale the ticket for 4 x the value. thats when you see so many ‘tourists’ at the big clubs now. prices out the normal fan
not to single you out as loads of people are saying similar but why are people talking like this? Nobody is being barred from buying a season ticket. its just one part of the ground which is massively discounted and half empty every game despite being sold outBut season tickets should be available for ALL fans, not just ones who can make 23 games on whatever day and time they take place
doesn't say anything about them having to sell. you place them on the exchange and thats your part doneI wonder what will happen if you can't attend, let's say, a midweek game with an expected turn out of no more than 23k.

But as a season ticket holder you need to know where you stand .
I'm not buying the idea that this is outrageous because kids can't go on school night. If you'd missed every single game that was on a school night this season, which everyone refers to as the worst season we've ever had for fixture scheduling, you still wouldn't be near the point that anything is going to happenif fans are unable to attend then they must put their tickets on the Ticket Exchange
Obviously it won’t count as one of your 3 strikes, come on.I wonder what will happen if you can't attend, let's say, a midweek game with an expected turn out of no more than 23k.

Just charge the family zone more and stop with all the extra rules being put on that area of the ground
....that'll change before long , Dave, if this is deemed to " work"not to single you out as loads of people are saying similar but why are people talking like this? Nobody is being barred from buying a season ticket. its just one part of the ground which is massively discounted and half empty every game despite being sold out
If for some odd reason people want to buy season tickets and only turn up less than 10 times a season then they're absolutely free to do so anywhere else in the ground
I get it but I wonder if they are really that bothered about reselling your seats if your season ticket is revoked for the rest of the season ?Obviously it won’t count as one of your 3 strikes, come on.
“if fans are unable to attend then they must put their tickets on the Ticket Exchange. Failure to do this on 3 occasions or more will result in your Season Ticket being revoked for the remainder of the season”
The requirement is just to put them on there, not for them to sell.
