cheese Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm thinking on travelling from Leicester - don't trust the post enough to buy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bcfcheadingly Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 There are possibly a few of us going down, not everyone is sure if they will come... Would be much easier if we could pay on the day. P.s. Ricoh is the first 'no cash' stadium in the U.K. I believe. They make you buy a card with say £10 from a machine which you then use to buy beers etc.. Any change left on the card is redeemed by queuing post match. Sounds like a scam to me.

downendcity Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm thinking on travelling from Leicester - don't trust the post enough to buy now. Cheese, if you buy your ticket over the phone from AG then you can ask for your ticket to be taken to the Ricoh and you can collect it before the game from their ticket office.

Depends on where the taxi is starting from!!!! :noexpression: Also depends on whether the taxi driver clocks where you're from and decides to take the "scenic" route via Walsall!!

Redhyde Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 home end only then? We haven't announced anything yet. I suggest ringing our ticket office to find out what we're doing with our ticket slaes. But it's a home game at a stadium that doesn't get filled.

Guest Ashton Kate Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 This doesn't apply in the away end, where it's cash as usual.THIS GAME IS NOW PAY ON THE DAY. I cannot believe that we have only sold 1500 TICKETS after the game last year when it was a sea of red and white. Come on everyone let the Red and White Army be well heard on Saturday and before you ask yes I have purchased ny ticket already!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edson Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I see the story claims it's a pound more to pay on the day than it was to prebook, with tickets going up from £25 to £26. Actually, it's cheaper, as you don't pay the booking fee. Though, of course, you don't get the loyalty points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you serious? 1,500....with pay on the day, expect about 1,800, maybe a little more.....for a bank holiday weekend, I think thats quality support! Last season was different...new division etc, this is a ground that many people have been to twice now in the last 18 months if we hit 1800....Ill be chuffed with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the great crowd that turned up last season and the fact that it is not a long trip I am disappoionted. It's only my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only my opinion. 2000 Away fans would be very good for this trip, bank holiday weekend, not everyone has football at the top of there list you know. There are many things that take priority over football for me, if I miss a game it isn't the end of the world, life will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only my opinion. Nah not easily pleased, just a realist. Believe it or not, there is more to life then Bristol City and football.....many people are away for the weekend or away on holiday, not to mention people who are doing day trips with families etc. Example, last year me and 7 mates went to Coventry....this year the other 6 are in Newquay for the weekend. The only reason I'm not is because I cant afford it 1800 would be a good crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I'm not is because I cant afford it 1800 would be a good crowdIt was a decent showing from the boys today and the lasses at Coventry. Your point regarding that last season it was a new ground is if we all decided to only go to new grounds there would not be many of our fans there would there. This was my 3rd visit to the Ricoh and just because I have "been there before" does not mean that I WON'T go again. I have actually been to all the grounds in League 1 and League 2 plus a lot of the Premier grounds and if City were playing at any of those grounds I would be there even if I had been there before. It is called supporting your team. There may be more to life than football but my Saturdays are FOR FOLLOWING MY TEAM and I CAN afford it!!!!
