Doug Kerching strikes again.

Which is what any good father would do.

Do you realise how ridiculous you sound?

I don't wish to go down a rabbit hole, but taking your kids to the football isn't the sum all of good parenting.

 

[Viktor17]

Again what nonsense, loads of kids at games the family section will be full most the season

yep, mine were desperate to go to see PL team / was going to take them as treat. But not at that price.

adult pricing fine, again, Kids pricing way off. Just no need.

 

[pusbccfc]

it'll sell out, i know people who only have a vague interest in city and they are wanting to go

I think we'll struggle if I'm honest.

I really hope not. Having 27,000 Coventry fans in there on a Wednesday night would be quality.

if we struggle to fill the ground against spurs even at £37 then we have bigger problems

 

[procdoc]

30 quid for me as a season ticket holder is a bit steep really. I’ll still go but no particularly happy about it.
The prices for kids are a disgrace.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

i wonder if spurs will rest players against arsenal to ensure they give everything to progress in the carabo cup away to cov 3 days later?

i think the only chance that someone like son or maddison will be there is if maddison still has his box at the cbs and decides to invite son. the prices should have been set for cov v tottenham reserves: £20 adults £10 kids and get a full house.

Then when we haven't got enough money to pay for a player/improve someone's contract? I know this one game won't dictate that, but we can't moan about pricing, then also moan about not signing ....x player

 

[lord_garrincha]

What's the problem?

Can't we just use one of the cup vouchers, at the end of our season ticket books, for this???

 

[SBAndy]

Would be interested to know how many U14 season ticket holders we have and realistically what difference pricing them at £10-15 would have made to overall receipts, especially given they are split.

 

[Balli001]

don't the away team have to agree to the ticket prices in the league cup?

Yes and get 45%

 

[Calista]

I won't be bringing by children

All bunged up? You sound like you need a dose of Nigh Nurse

 

[Alex1987]

Why would I bring my 5 year old twins on a school night for a 120 mile round trip....get a grip

 

[Flying Fokker]

I expected the prices as I know it's Doug's policy.

The kids prices are very high and will put a lot of people off.

It would be a huge shame if we don't sell out because with Spurs being given just over 3000, in theory the capacity for the game is probably around 31,500 for the first time in years.

Against Middlesbrough..

Sorry, you misunderstood my (very feeble) joke. You misspelt it "by children", which sounds like you have a cold,

I get your point about your particular circumstances, not sure what the solution would be really.

Apologies!

 

[Grendel]

main event so means more will stay in the pub or watch from home

not everyone has sky + especially Virgin customers

I have sky + on virgin

 

[Hutch11]

The prices for non St holder kids have been scandalous for a while, under 17s should be no more than £10 regardless of who we're playing

If the club priced £20 for adults and £10 for kids my whole family would have gone and the club would have £70. If we all go and sit together with the actual prices it would cost £154. This is an weeknight early rounds game of the Carabo Cup against what will be a much weakened Tottenham. This seems too expensive to me. So chances are none of us will go and the club doesn't get anything from us.

If the seats sell out or gets close to selling out fair enough- club makes more money and get better players etc. but if there are lots of empty seats then maybe the club ends up with less money than if they had cheaper pricing and more seats sold.

This sounds like you're stating the obvious, but you are 100% right.

They wouldn’t have £70 - it’s £56 and then I assume there is a split between both clubs in the cup tie

Bloody hell!!!! half on here won't even know what you're talking about.

They cup vouchers or the tickets to get us into see the reserves ?
Then go to the club shop and get 25% off everything

 

[SAJ]

I understand the cat A pricing but after the last performance I thought he'd have read the room and made ST holders £20 & £10 ST kids/concessions

He had read the room.
They will sell out at £30. We moan we want premier league players, we moan we we play a premier league team paying championship ticket prices. By reducing the price to £20 will lose the club around £300,000 just on entrance prices without anything else.

Cup Vouchers,they used to be for League Cup and FA Cup. Games A-E, at the back of the booklet, tear 'em out as you use them. hahahahha

 

[SAJ]

Why is it £30 for Spurs fans?

Because they have 50,000 season ticket holders.

 

[CovLad94]

Genuinely don't see what all the fuss about. I'm fine with the prices. It's a one off game against a top PL opposition, from a business pov makes perfect sense. DK running a business not a charity. If people are moaning about paying £37 quid for ONE game they should've got a ST. Some people are so entitled.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Fuck that, I'll save the cash and the trip and watch it at the pub

 

[Grendel]

So each team gets 45% receipts. If we charged £20 that’s £16 contribution and we’d get £7 per ticket.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

how anyone on here can justify my 8 year old paying £20 for a game in the week which is on sky is beyond me

already making money from sky

could have took a fiver off a ticket with the extra income

And as it's a League Cup game.

Does anyone know how much the Club gets for the Spurs game being on Sky ?

It's the season ticket holders who are complaining

 

[SAJ]

I'm not sure who we are playing is relevant to the pricing mate , as Wimbledon have shown they are playing a big side too , isn't it big 7 now l

QPR v Palace pricing, London Derby

obviously don't need the money
View attachment 38309

go and watch that then if it’s better value.

 

[napolimp]

Just doing some quick sums based on 20% of crowd having child tickets - and allowing the concessions to even out between child and adult prices (as 20% probably bit high for child attendance), with a 45% split for CCFC. I get a total of £150k difference based on sell out in both scenarios, between the prices actually being charged and if it was £20/£10 adults/kids.

Don't know if 150k is considered significant, but I presume that would pay first 11's wages for a week.

 

[clint van damme]

What a ridiculous response mate honestly

Yeah, don't bother bringing through the next generation of support, great idea.

 

[Boicey]

Spurs will play a reserve team (the vast majority I've never heard of) for 90 mins and Robins will play our reserves for 45 mins.
It's the Carabao cup.
Is that worth £37? No.

 

[clint van damme]

At least this might make a few think twice about singing that pathetic doug king song.
