We ARE away fans 50% of the time
We ARE away fans 50% of the timeWho gives a fuck about away fans. Less the better.
So the Sunderland game isn't Cat A game?It’s not £25 though is it. A kid u14 JSB member can get a ticket for a cat c game for £10 u18 £15 people are bending the facts to support an argument. People should just take very young kids Cat C games.
We are away supporters half the time.Who gives a fuck about away fans. Less the better.
Exactly, so everyone had a chance to buy them if they were on the ball. If they wasn’t just like any other tickets that are great value they will sell out. I suppose it’s Doug’s or the clubs fault isn’t it people couldn’t be arsed to put it in their diary and log in.No they weren’t! They went on sale on Monday and were sold out by 9.30 am Tuesday, mostly to new people, and existing ST holders no chance to get them. Absolutely screwing existing fans who wanted to move, don’t get me started.
It is a catagory A game, if you can’t afford that go to B or C games, the experience will be exactly the same. I want to go on Holiday to the Maldives but I can’t afford it so I go to Lanzarote. Can’t please everyone all the time, give that club some credit for trying to increase revenues across the board so we can have a decent playing squad.So the Sunderland game isn't Cat A game?
Casual supporters don't have to pay £25 per child?
We won't have thousands of empty seats?
Ok
Jesus, we’re fighting for shift workers rights now are we? What’s next cheaper midweek tickets for people who have to work weekends or cheaper tickets for nuns. No one makes people go to football. Just like any other product you can either afford it or you cannot. Cheaper tickets ie season tickets were available and if people were not on the ball to get them then it’s their own fault.We are away supporters half the time.
Not everyone lives near Coventry. How about shift workers who work weekends? Both were me before I left the UK. Home games were over 400 miles round trip. We have a lot of supporters with similar where a ST isn't feasible.
So you say people shouldn't go to the Sunderland game but go to Cat C games if they have children. Don't think I have ever paid £37 for a home league game before. Better prices and we could have sold this game out. Instead we will have thousands of empty seats.

Bad idea and this was a problem last year as tickets were bought but not filledIn an ideal Kids under 10 would be free with an adult ticket. Logistics to work out with all seater but doable

I think they will start to do some deals once we get into the season so that adult + child becomes cheaper
£75 for a family of 4 for a one off seems reasonable for a cat A and maybe 60 and 50 for other categories
If the experience will be exactly the same, why is one more expensive than the other.It is a catagory A game, if you can’t afford that go to B or C games, the experience will be exactly the same.

Your not getting it are you.You want to give the club credit for trying to increase revenue but earlier said the less away fans the better. What's it to be?
Need to make up for the lost sponsorship money somehow I suppose.Your not getting it are you.
Revenue will be up as their ticket prices are higher anyway. It’s looks like they will sell out anyway, might take longer to sell but they are going.
I deal in facts unless you have any decent ones don’t bother replying
The A game might be 0-0 the C game 4-0 who knows.If the experience will be exactly the same, why is one more expensive than the other.
So will Lanzarote be exactly the same experience as the Maldives ?The A game might be 0-0 the C game 4-0 who knows.
The Maldives is 5k but lanzarote 2k. I can’t afford the Maldives so I’ll have a great time in lanzarote.
I’ll make it what it is, it’s what can afford.So will Lanzarote be exactly the same experience as the Maldives ?
So you think only wealthy Coventry fans should have access to certain games ?
Serious re- think on ticketing prices are needed.Have seen it said that Sunderland have only sold 1400 ahead of general sale tomorrow (not sure if true but tickets have made general sale which is rare for them). If so, and the calls for a boycott are being heard, then you'd hope the club look at this again, especially kids pricing.
Our sales also slow, behind where they were for the Boro game at this stage for a bigger game (opposition wise), no TV cameras and a 3pm kick off. People starting to vote with their feet?
But your argument for the higher price category A games is a simple case of supply and demand, so you think we will see a significant increase on the 24,000 we had against Middlesbrough then ?I’ll make it what it is, it’s what can afford.
The only thing I can think of is they they've worked out with the A games people will be more likely to go at any cost and they will have big away followings regardless of cost.Don't understand the category pricing. I'd understand it in the Premier League where the desire to see Man City players would be greater than that to see Bournemouth players, but in the Championship I'd have thought you go to watch your team - it's not like any clubs in the division are going to have must see players anyway. Would make more sense if they had more categories within each fixture - depending on where you were sat in the ground.
About the same crowd but revenue up.But your argument for the higher price category A games is a simple case of supply and demand, so you think we will see a significant increase on the 24,000 we had against Middlesbrough then ?
That's fine - the club can stop all the "join the journey" rubbish if it's just another consumer productFootball is a product now, whether we like it or not.
Your not getting it are you.

I count 289 tickets left on Sunderland site at the moment. Might be pricey, but if the demand is there (which the Club know it is) it'll sell.
Still think £25 is steep for a child
If Sunderland sell out of course it would be.Can you prove revenue will be higher than if we reduced prices for u18s?
We all know what football is deep down. It is a journey for everyone and the consumer pays for it and the club manage it unless we have a sugar daddy. I’m not sure what more the club could have done when they did season tickets at £50.That's fine - the club can stop all the "join the journey" rubbish if it's just another consumer product

The Middlesbrough game was 12o/c kick off on Sunday and live on Sky, against Sunderland 3pm Saturday, there should be a significant increase in attendance, if this isn’t the case…..something is wrong.About the same crowd but revenue up.

How would you know how many child tickets they've sold?
How would you know how many more we would sell if prices were reduced?
You can't know, no one can.
On the other hand, Middlesbrough was the first home match following a highly successful season including a Wembley appearance, and an exciting transfer window so far. All that might have been expected to offset the attendance suppressing factors you have implied. May be matching that attendance won’t be quite as poor as you are suggesting, and isn’t there industrial action on the trains this weekend also?The Middlesbrough game was 12o/c kick off on Sunday and live on Sky, against Sunderland 3pm Saturday, there should be a significant increase in attendance, if this isn’t the case…..something is wrong.
