Mr Hooper Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Did the tickets reach season ticket holders last year or were they snapped in the first couple of days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castleford Owl Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Is that the full allocation? Seems to get smaller every year. Gone are the days when we'd take 7000 to Barnsley and teams could bring 7500 to Hillsborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 £36. At Oakwell I like the way they've created a special A* ticket category just for us, it was the same last year - even Leeds was a category A with tickets at £30. I paid it last year, but I'm struggling to muster up much enthusiasm for paying that this year to watch 19th vs 17th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 £36 , I assume there fans will have to pay the same then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if having this one off category for Wednesday is a bit of *** for tat because that's what we charged their fans at Hillsborough, their solution to us ripping off their fans is to...rip off their own fans. Again. They know that Wednesday will probably sell out regardless, but charging an extra £6 per head for 4k fans is only going to make them around an extra £15-20k once the concessions have been taken into account and before tax. Peanuts for their zillionaire Chinese overlords (who don't appear to have actually spent anything yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewsburyowl58 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Can’t blame anyone for replicating our rip off charges , it’s quite clear we overcharge fans by a long shot , could stomach it if we were up at the top playing exciting attacking football but we ain’t. Disappointed with paying £36 but we started it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, our pricing is stupid, but Barnsley seem to be the only club replicating the excessive price to our fans (we've been overpaying for years whenever there's a categorised pricing structure because clubs always put us in the top bracket as they know we'll still turn up in numbers). And in "getting their own back" on us, Barnsley are just forcing their own supporters to overpay to see us for the second time this season! The argument about lower travel costs could be used so overall it'll be priced similarly to other awaydays, but that shouldn't make the ticket price acceptable - it's not as if they're a big game despite their location, I don't see Barnsley as a more attractive game than the likes of Bolton or Ipswich.

First of all, the ticket price is very expensive (just like 95% of Wednesday’s POTG prices are). But with it being a match against a local rival, I think many of our fans will disagree that it isn’t an attractive fixture. I predict that even with it being an early kick-off, £36 a ticket, disappointing season etc, Wednesday will have no problem at all selling this one out. When was the last time we took 4-5 thousand fans to Ipswich or Bolton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebowl Yell Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) How dare they charge us £36. Oakwell is nowhere near the Calibre of Hillsborough so they can F*** right off with those prices. I’ll listen to their cup final on Radio blunt thank you very much but for those that do go outsing those 6 fingered inbreds all game cos they won’t be seeing us ever again when they go down and we go up next season. Hope the extra couple of K is worth it dingles, good luck charging Rovrum and Donny extra. Edited January 22, 2018 by Rebowl Yell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf Barnsley agree to charge the same as every club they play pre season, so it's really down to SWFC we are being made to pay £36. This generally works out well for them as most clubs agree to reciprocal cheap tickets. Shame Wednesday are one of the greedy ones. I fully support this ticketing policy by Barnsley, just p155es me off I'm made to pay more, but I don't Barnsley for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
