Selred Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Just to put it into context, other Championship vs Championship prices: Cardiff vs Preston - £15 for matchday, £12 in advance, £10 for season ticket holders. £8, £5, £3 for u16s. Coventry vs Derby - £20 adults, £15 concessions, £10 u18 and £5 u13. We are playing Fulham the week after, and they won't bring a full strength side to Ashton Gate. Post Christmas too. Extortionate. If we can't reduce prices to introduce new fans for this game when can we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 It might seem high to ST holders but IIRC that is £10 less than the normal cheapest potd ticket. The issue of course is that potd is too expensive anyway, but it's still a relatively cheap ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 The people making these decisions are paid a lot of money for really straight forward stuff but continuously mess it up. The 1000's of adults who could go, simply won't bother. It may attract non-season card holders with kids. Perhaps that's the idea.

Any club official with half a brain cell, given the support from the fans this season for a team playing bottom of the barrel football, understandable or not, might just have realised this was as an opportunity to say "thank you" for sticking with the team in circumstances where it would have been very easy for fans to go completely the other way.

Bar BS3 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 TBH I really don't understand the outrage at the pricing - although I won't be going myself. I wouldn't have gone if it were a tenner either, simply because I can't be arsed to go out in the cold and watch the shite that Pearson has us producing at the moment. Granted, results have taken a slight upturn, which is great & hopefully the start of some improvement in performances. It's the first time in my life that I've made conscious choice not to do all I can to get to games and it feels horrible to not have that desire. Not doubt it will return & I'll probably renew my season ticket in the summer, regardless. I just wish we had something, anything, in our play that gave the slightest in cling of belief or excitement. Anyway - no I don't think £23 is shocking, for those that want to go. It's cheaper than usual & the club have had covid to struggle with from an income perspective. It does give people a good reason not to bother though and I dread to think what the attendance is likely to be..! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have previously been in the position where spending that much required thought, and consideration as to whether that was really where I should spend that £23. I get it.

For Dolman Central, where I sit, it is more expensive than my season card works out at. I see people mentioning it is much cheaper than normal potd but how many people are we talking about here? The most interested in going to this fixture will be the diehards. 85-90% will be people that attend regularly. They have a ground the regularly only fill to 2/3s capacity and yet they seem determined not to ever try and fill it even more when opportunity arises. I get the younger tickets are cheaper and well done for that. Still just can’t help but think the club can never get it spot on. They always seem to overthink or think they are too clever. Not sure what it is. Cut those adult prices by a third and think you have it right. Only thing I’ll say is, are they anticipating some sort of limit on crowds by this time? In that case, it would be the two clubs trying to maximise revenue. Though not right PP clubs or prem clubs can dictate the price the home side charges.

You'll need to feed those kids £6 burgers, so straight away you'll be looking at £50+ to watch us lose to Fulham 3 nil. Take a packed lunch and eat it in the car before the game. No point spending £20+ on food 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the £10 for 4 soft drinks ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The away Club’s spectators can only be charged more than the home Club’s spectators if mutually agreed by both Clubs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a crazy pricing list tbh. It's not cheap but it's not eyewaterlingly expensive. You could do a parent plus 3 kids in the Lansdown for 40. That's about the same as a single potd ticket for a league match in the same area. It's a football match not a crèche 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 It might be just me but I struggle to get enthusiastic about a cup game when we draw someone in our own division, especially when we’re playing them the following week. I love the cup because it’s a nice change from the league, usually. I wouldn’t think those prices too high, maybe a bit, if it was against a team from another division, maybe one we haven’t played for years. I’ll probably make my mind up the day before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the price shouldn't be dearer because its a cup tie. It's hardly a glamour tie ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuffle Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Our pricing is nothing short of scandalous. My dad passed away last December & he attended with my mum & both had season tickets in the Dolman for over 45 years. My mum is desperate to watch a live game and I said I’d take her on Saturday to watch Huddersfield. She is 82 and I have paid £31 for her ticket… yes £31!!! I like others would never miss a game but Fulham is a stretch too far and by not attending is the only small protest I can make. Sad times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
