Short sighted idiocy, ..Chansiri Whitters "The Wednesday Family"..Lets be honest..he's cantin' crap! Absolutely bob on. I share a season ticket with my dad, our work commitments usually mean at least one of us can make it to the match, when we can both make it we’ll buy an extra ticket and more often than not manage to sit together. The potg prices wee wee us both off to the point where we don’t want to buy one, meaning that we rarely get to go to the matches together. Real shame since we’ve gone together since I was 5. I doubt we’ll be renewing next season for this reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 There will be people who can’t afford to go from every demographic.... but by and large if you if you are young and single you can afford it. if your kids have grown up and moved out you can afford it. If your kids are still at home, you’ve got a big mortgage and your not yet at your peak earning power - that is when you are struggling. So, for this very large group, it’s not a case of stumping up £39-£46. It’s a case of stumping up £70 (that’s if Mum doesn’t want to come as well) for you and your two kids or watching it on Sky. That’s a hefty price. And also, it’s not just a case of whether you can afford it. I know plenty that can afford it that just don’t feel they can “justify it”. It’s not value for money. Most of us can afford £5 for a tin of beans, doesn’t mean you’d think it was value for money so you wouldn’t buy them. This will be our 5th home match and the kop prices have been:- Hull £39 Ipswich £33 Millwall £30 Stoke £36 Leeds £39 Total price £177 Per match £34.40 £34.40 x 23 matches = £791.20!!! Its crazy, the differential between season tickets and POTG is far far far too big. Its indefensible really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammo Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I pay for one season ticket for my Dad. I live in Manchester so can't make most midweek games but try and get as much as I can. Went to have a look at tickets earlier and couldn't close the page quick enough. Kills me that my Dad has to sit alone but there is no way in hell I can afford or justify 40 quid on top of a rushed train to sit and watch a match that's on Sky. There is no way a ticket on Kop should ever be more than £30. Completely prices me and I'm sure many others out. I'm desperate to get back into the routine of going regularly to home matches but it's far easier for me to go away from home or find a stream online.

Guest mkowl Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Like others have said even with a season ticket unlikely to make the trip on a Friday evening. Haven't got the free time in the work diary to leave early enough to not sit for hours on the M1.

hirstys_achilles Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Leeds is all ticket so there is no POTG for this game. So the argument about people just turning up on spec at no notice is not relevant. Has DC deliberately left the price high for this game as he knows people can watch it on tv if they can't afford to attend. I know it does not help the games atmosphere at all. I think the admission price should be connected to income. Unemployed eg could be half price and carers (for family). DC should also look at filling the empty seats by giving the tickets away for school achievements or people who had a bad time recently nominated by other fans. Its better than an empty seat and how many of these people will come back if they enjoy the experience. The ground is rarely sold out. Most games 5000 tickets could have been given to people deserving of a ticket who would normally not attend. Tickets could be given out at childrens hospital, dialysis places, cancer treatment wards, blood donors or other voluntary good deeds and even mental health and addiction recovery groups. If DC is serious about the wednesday family these are the things I would like to see from the family and surely only good publicity and fuller stadium and better atmosphere would come from this. At £40 there is bound to be plenty of empty seats while we playing in the 2nd tier of football leagues so there is plenty of scope to experiment in ways of filling the stadium and creating interest in new young or old fans for now and the future of the club.

pgmetcalf Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Really hating the sensationalist hype and BS that's crept into football since the "Money Men" have taken over. People are just getting swept along with it all ... and don't forget to bring your wallet. Of course some people have never known anything else so don't know any better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
