Sunderland crowd.. (7 Viewers)

Yes but that's no longer an option

They were on sale for a while and everyone had chance to buy them.

If Adele has tickets for sale and you leave them too late to buy and they sell out do you blame Adele or do you take responsibility and say it’s your own fault for not getting them earlier.

The next option is buy your kid a JSB membership and take them for a tenner.

Right but it's not a tenner .. it's £12 if you include the cost of a jsb over 23 matches .. then £17 for cat B and A

Family zone kids are in for £2.17 all season no matter what


The prices for kids are shite

So the club should look to make it easier for families to bring their kids to matches, that's fucking and

I didn’t manage to

Why Pete?

 

[Evo1883]

People who managed to get their kids in for £2.17 a match , have no right to talk about the prices of kids tickets being fine

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Why Pete?

I believed it would be extended and waited for pay day. Had to buy at a higher cost

 

[Evo1883]

A MUCH higher cost

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

A MUCH higher cost

Have flagged up the question and will be a dog with a bone with the club at next forum it’s daft to alienate potentially young fans

 

[Evo1883]

And anyway , away fans can't buy a JSB , for a Sunderland fan to bring 2 8 year old kids it's going to set him/her back 90 quid with admin fees .

Hasn't even left the house yet ..

It's shocking

That’s was a big risk, they were selling like hotcakes. Why did you have to wait for payday you knew roughly when they were going to be on sale, actually later than normal.

Who gives a fuck about away fans. Less the better.

If you don't think 25 quid for a 6 year old is too much then I'd question what's going on upstairs

It's stupid

I thought the £25 was for 14-18?

It’s not £25 though, stop distorting the facts and being so angry, have a pint and a shag.

For sundwrland fans it's 25 quid under 18 , for Coventry fans Saturday that don't have a JSB its 25 pound under 18 ... it's awful , the facts are the facts don't tell me to not be annoyed about it ,its atrocious

No it's under 18s , unless should buy a JSB

Prices for a random cat c game

 

[Evo1883]

Prices for a random cat c game

There are 4 cat C games , 19 other matches cost 17 pound including JSB membership


If you don't pay the 50 quid , kids are 20 quid cat B or 25 cat C

 

[hamertime]

There are 4 cat C games , 19 other matches cost 17 pound with a JSB membership

 

[Evo1883]

Right what are you struggling with

 

[hamertime]

Cat B games too, you’re making an argument for people who don’t exist. If you can’t afford cat A games you have 2 cheaper options.

 

[Evo1883]

Cat B games too, you’re making an argument for people who don’t exist. If you can’t afford cat A games you have 2 cheaper options.

Category A:

Adults - £37
Concessions - £32
Under 18s - £25
JSB Under 14s - £15

Category B:

Adults - £30
Concessions - £25
Under 18s - £20
JSB Under 14s - £15

Category C:

Adults - £24
Concessions - £19
Under 18s - £15
JSB Under 14s - £10


The only way you get the JSB prices are to pay the 50 quid , if you DONT all under 18s come under the same price

 

[hamertime]

Right what are you struggling with

I’m not you are, you’re angry at everything. I’d suggest turning off and relaxing before bed.

[Evo1883]

CAT A - 7 MATCHES

CAT B - 11 MATCHES

CAT C - 4 MATCHES

JSB COST

CAT A - U14 = £105

CAT B - U14 = £ 165

CAT C - U14 = £40

PLUS £50 JSB membership

£355

£15.43 per game over a 23 game season

The cheapest current way around this , is to buy a season ticket with a child at a cost of atleast £645 ( adult and child standard zone ) , that's £28 a match for adult and child

 

[Brylowes]

Tickets sales looking good, only 3 spots in the whole stadium where 2 seats together, they'll have to open up the other blocks soon

This proves the point I was making earlier regarding not making all potential available tickets available, a group of mates decide they’re gonna go the game, the one who’s going to purchase the tickets goes online only to find what you’ve put above.
So do they purchase 4 x tickets miles apart from each other ‘I very much doubt it, for the moment at least that sale has gone, they’re not regular goer’s or watching the club for regular updates (blocks opening) and even if they were the initial group eagerness to go has probably waned.
I”m sorry but this insisting on selling almost every seat before opening new blocks is fucking ridiculous, affecting our home attendances and I very much doubt there’s another club in the country (with our level of support, against capacity) that are doing it.

 

[robbiethemole]

People could have paid £250 for an adult and £50 for kids in Family zone for season tickets. They were on sale a while before they sold out.

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.

 

[croatskyblue]

Not sure even if they sell they are good prices for kids

Not disagreeing, but what is the definition of “worked”?

if we end up getting more & there is a really good crowd then you’d have to say it’s “worked”, but that doesn’t mean it’s ok pricing for kids.

 

[robbiethemole]

Is this twat Hamertime boosh back again?

 

[Brylowes]

City are maximising revenue on the back of a bit of success. They obviously think this will continue as they knew they were investing more so people have to pay what it’s worth.

I doubt they would have put these prices there if they thought it was gonna be a poor season, shows ambition for me.

When I go to the match I go to watch Coventry City, why should it cost me more to watch Coventry City play Sunderland than it does to watch them play Preston, are they gonna try harder against Sunderland.
Loving supporting Cov atm but this category pricing and not putting all available seats on sale is ridiculous and will only prove detrimental to the club and all the other good stuff going on.
