Apologies, I thought you meant he was going in at the rate of a junior ticket

You’re allowed to miss 12 games without any penalty.

If you’re missing more than that why on earth would you buy a season ticket?

Would it matter if you did?

 

[Grendel]

You’re not restricting someone else the chance to buy a ticket at a lower rate though

So?

 

[Grendel]

It’s all well and good for King to try and impose this when the club is selling high volume but what if form declined and attendance falls?

Customer loyalty is key and customer relations vital.

So you're not having a negative effect on a fellow supporter

 

[bigfatronssba]

Would it matter if you did?

When you're depriving another family of cheap tickets, yes.

 

[cov4theprem]

The club are asking fans to attend 14 home matches , keeping kids up once a month until an hour or 2 later than normal isn't going to make them fall asleep at their desk the next day after just the 8 or 9 hours of sleep ffs .

23 games - 10 exchanges, 2 no shows = only 11 matches to attend. If you can't make 11 you shouldn't buy a season ticket. People need to calm down

 

[SBT]

When you're depriving another family of cheap tickets, yes.

From the club’s point of view, it doesn’t matter at all - you have good income and brand loyalty from the ST holders, and demand for tickets elsewhere in the stadium, at a more lucrative price to boot.

If your pricing structure is such that families can only attend if they sit in a particular, small section of the stadium, that’s a different issue. And one that should be addressed imo.

The JSB section will always have high demand if priced so cheap.

This would be an issue if implemented around the ground.

They could by a season ticket and commit?

 

[bigfatronssba]

They could by a season ticket and commit?

Yes they could. I imagine though they would rather buy one at the lower price in the FZ than full price elsewhere

 

[Grendel]

Yes they could. I imagine though they would rather buy one at the lower price in the FZ than full price elsewhere

But if someone buys it it’s theirs and their free right to attend when they can. No refunds are offered when fixtures are changed. Is that reasonable?

People do take the piss though. I have no doubt there are ‘non existent’ children that have ST’s. Same when it was £25 for a child, people on here have openly admitted they used to let their adult mates use the child ticket.

There is no argument to the fact it is not fair on families who genuinely cannot afford a ST in the standard areas, miss out to those who buy the tickets and do not attend.

The more i look at this the more i get wound up

Who the fuck does Doug think he is sometimes? We're Coventry City not Barcelona. We sold out twice this season

The ticket exchange system, great idea, would of course put our 3 tickets on for games we cant attend

But to say 'ah well if you forget 3 times or you cant make 10' when no one knows how many (IF any) weekend games there will be is a fucking joke tbh

Yeah penalising people for not attending night games with young kids is unfair. From a businessman’s point of view Doug’s already got his money for the seat as it’s already paid for

 

[MalcSB]

Given the way this is going, not refunding where games have been moved for TV or other causes really doesn’t seem reasonable. It seems to be a bit all one way, whilst the calculated and fraudulent abuse of the Family Zone pricing is not being addressed.

How? You can click resell up to 10 times. That's an awful lot of games missed for someone with a season ticket.

Are people missing this?

 

[pusbccfc]

It’s a bit stupid as people buy a season tickets and would assume the date isn’t changing. I estimate 40% of fixtures were removed from the original schedule.

The club don’t offer refunds for this but will make the to ticket holder surrender the seat on a fixture change and it’s not even confirmed they are recompensed

King has never liked concessions and should just scrap it entirely rather than this fudge

If he doesn't like concessions, he wouldn't have a JSB section.

You are allowing your seat to be resold at a JSB price to others who have missed out.

You get 10 chances to do this. That's an awful lot of games.

The JSB section is sold out and sold out in minutes. Loads would love to buy a cheaper ticket in there but cannot because it's sold out.

The biggest issue I'll have is if Doug charges £37 for a ticket in the JSB section.

It should be a cheaper ticket for an adult and kid in-line with the season ticket prices.

 

[Chris1987]

I'm not being touchy , I just have never understood why parents get so bothered about keeping a kid up a couple hours later than normal once here or there .. parent as you wish but kids generally have more energy than me and you

And flake out very readily. The whole debate is dependent on individual attitude towards schooling and the age the kids are.

 

[prufrock]

Another reason it appears family stand is empty is that when you use one of those JSB discount offers to bring a mate for a quid or family for £20 you are all put in a different part of the ground for that match so you can all sit together. I didn't notice our seats being reused at any of those games so were just empty.

My kids and I have a 4 hour round trip to get to matches. They can't make night matches as we don't get back until around midnight. Also if there are also more midday saturday matches due to sky + deal they will miss those too as they are playing their sat morning footy.

 

[Winny the Bish]

I keep seeing people mention midweek games going up because of the new TV deal, but what is that based on?

I’ve not seen anything in the press releases to suggest the EFL are saying “we’re moving more games midweek for the hell of it”

You have to start the process after 3

 

[pusbccfc]

What do you mean? You can put the ticket up for resale at any point. If you don't 3 times then the club step in.

So what if 7 fixtures are moved? Will the holder be compensated in full if unable to attend?

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Is it a good time for all you kind posters to donate and help the families, maybe I’ll set up a sharing scheme amongst those we help

Donate to CCFC Season Ticket Fund Year 7, organized by Simon Miller

This has been set up to help individuals and families in need purchase a season ticket for… Simon Miller needs your support for CCFC Season Ticket Fund Year 7

gofund.me

if you haven’t donated, spare a little amount to help the 100+ like last season

 

[pusbccfc]

The club have said circumstances will be listened to.

Far more than 7 games will be moved. If people taking advantage of the cheapest season ticket in the league will miss those, they should possibly allow someone else the opportunity to have one with their child.

If this rule was in place for the entire ground it would be a serious mistake from the club. Ultimately it's the crack down on the people who bought a cheap season ticket and haven't used it. Plenty of families missed out on getting one.

 

[chiefdave]

People do take the piss though. I have no doubt there are ‘non existent’ children that have ST’s. Same when it was £25 for a child, people on here have openly admitted they used to let their adult mates use the child ticket.

Let's not forget the whole reason we had a major overhaul of JSB tickets to start with was because they looked at the numbers and saw there was way too many people coming in on kids tickets. When they made the change you had adults openly complaining that they'd now have to pay full price

 

[samccov1987]

What we saying then - FZ tickets staying at current price levels or is Doug going to whack them up?

Don’t dispute there are a lot of adults going in at cheaper prices without kids but the tone of the communication leaves a nasty taste.

For all the talk about back the club I’m still unsure if Doug has actually put any of his own money in.

 

[theferret]

Not sure what the issue is here. If season tickets as low as £50 are made available, they should be used, and if not, made available to others.

When you buy a ST, you don't buy the seat, you but the right to admission 23 times a season. Forgo that, and the club should make that available to somebody else and raise additional revenue. What does it matter if you're not there anyway?

The huge gaps last season in an end apparently 'sold out' was a bit of an embarrassment.

Well just like Doug you have a choice? My wife and I had a double hike last year where we sat. But we had a choice last year and will have again this season.

Everyone's circumstances are different. But I can see why the club have brought these rules in; because certain people take advantage and abuse the cheap tickets.

 

[itsabuzzard]

Doug is trying new ideas. Some go right some go wrong. On past evidence its clear he has no qualms righting wrongs and going back on ideas. I'd imagine this might be a case. He seems a very fair and just man in all honesty.

OK Doug.

But they’re buying the tickets according to the price plan laid out. Of course people are going to get a ST just in case if it’s free or like here offers a discount. Just a nominal charge would prevent that and still leave it in reach of poorer fans. Would an adult ticket the same cost as the cheapest elsewhere in the ground and a £50 kids ticket really put it out of reach of many?

You buy it accepting the terms and conditions. If you don't like the new conditions, don't buy it

 

[rob9872]

As we count sales rather than people, it'll be interesting when we have our record 45k attendance in a 32k stadium

 

[chiefdave]

Love how people are acting like you're being banned from ever entering the ground if you can't attend every game

If you can't attend more than half the games then let someone who can turn up week in week out buy a season ticket for the family zone and just buy tickets on a match by match basis who you want to go.
