Re: Opening day
They're charging Rotherham £32 for tickets central in the stand and £27 at the sides. There's approx. 800 tickets in the central areas and 400 at the side.Bijou Bob wrote:If memory serves, weren't QPR charging away fans 49 quid in the Prem?? Anything even near that would be feckin scandalous.
Re: Opening day
I've had to pod out £33 for your place. Bit steep. #Twenty'sPlenty.

Should've boycotted. They're taking advantage there. Disgraceful pricing.needles wrote:I've had to pod out £33 for your place. Bit steep. #Twenty'sPlenty.

Re: Opening day
Seriously? I'd have told us to feck right off. Twenty is indeed absolutely plenty. I'm guessing though that this'll have been agreed between the clubs and that we can look forward to having our ears pinned back for a similar amount when we turn up at your place.needles wrote:I've had to pod out £33 for your place.

If we'd have charges that much in say October, they'd have told us to fvck right off

Until the loyal Bolton fans start paying the going rate for this division, we need to fleece the away fans
We give tickets away to the home support

It's the only way - I know a few supporters group relied heavily on community tickets in less-affluent areas at a tenner a head..CAPSLOCK wrote:Until the loyal Bolton fans start paying the going rate for this division, we need to fleece the away fans

club talked about scrapping it and have done so especially for the Wolves game
75 tickets at £10.00 per head = £750.00 (plus whatever goes behind the bar)
0 tickets at £28.00 per head = £0

Re: Opening day
I think the club once responded to something similar by explaining that reducing the ticket cost means you still have a fixed, stewarding or policing cost (at best, sometimes selling more cheap tickets means these go up) and for most matches we barely break even. The bar etc is irrelevant in terms of the match-day breakeven/loss/profit apparently.boltonboris wrote:It's the only way - I know a few supporters group relied heavily on community tickets in less-affluent areas at a tenner a head..CAPSLOCK wrote:Until the loyal Bolton fans start paying the going rate for this division, we need to fleece the away fans

Sell more at £10 you might even find we make an even bigger loss on the match than selling no expensive ones, due to increased stewarding and police costs.

Re: Opening day
That's up top them, but alienating parents fro taking their kids isn't a good move..
Perhaps it would be more beneficial to have an empty stadium, with less staff costs, policing costs and overheads, but it doesn't do anybody any good does it?

Re: Opening day
Under usual circumstances yes. But we can only have what there is money for, and that includes subsidised tickets.boltonboris wrote:That's up top them, but alienating parents fro taking their kids isn't a good move..

Re: Opening day
Perhaps it'd be better to call it a day and accept the town can't/won't pay for a team in Division 2
My three tickets cost me about 500 quid a season
69 games for 500 quid

Re: Opening day
Anyway, home pricing is what it is
Lets not be worrying about what we charge away fans
It should be as much as we can get away with

Re: Opening day
I disagree, I find it counter-productive. As far as I'm aware the ticket prices for away fans are agreed between the clubs. We agree to charge them £35 and their supporters tell us to get fecked - likewise us with the reverse fixture.CAPSLOCK wrote:Anyway, home pricing is what it is

Re: Opening day
You understand wrong
Home clubs can charge what they want
They have to charge away fans the same as home, though
There is a new initiative allowing home clubs to have a few home only promos per season
