Well you have a similar situation at our home games every week...£14 ST price as against £24 that you would pay on the day. Not much difference really.

Simpo Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 £15 is the minimum adult price for an FA Cup Round 1 game. They've been clever to get round this with a special offer for season ticket holders. Well done to all involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much difference really. Yes but I already know that in advance of the season start. I don't expect to potentially have to pay more than double the price of the person sat next to me for a cup game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It's not like it's round the corner. Everyone who wants to go will know a st holder who doesn't fancy it. Just nick their ticket and stop whining some people just love to whinge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 So someone isnt going to go to a game that they wanted to go to purely because someone else is getting in for less than them? Thats very, very childish odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only tick off new grounds and big games these days away from home While I'm not saying Carlisle is a 'big game' in the same way that Blackburn is, we'll probably take well over 1000 up there, which is enough for me to want to go...

philliggi Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If it was a non league team or a team we haven't played in recent history in league 2 we Would, even considering distance. But I consider Carlisle a run of the mill league one team. We must've played them almost as much as Tranmere and Walsall over the last 20 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Should take a good following. I'm not ST but mates are and I'm not missing out on a decent away for the sake of £7.50. I'll jus try n not pay petrol money ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjk2008 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Can't believe people are actually moaning about the pricing. We wont take 1000 that's for sure. 700 is my bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The club is doing something for its ST holders. About time, too. I'm obviously not an ST holder but it doesn't bother me that they are getting a 'gift' for their troubles. Carlisle is doable for me, depending on whether or not work [or my wife] pulls a fast one on my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki'smoustache Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I'm going. I'm happy to pay £15. It's a fair price. I'm happy that season ticket holders are getting a deal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats very, very childish odd. It is but that's the mentality of a lot of football fans. Same as someone not wanting to part with £24 when they decide to go/plans change and they CAN suddenly go when they couldn't before (and could have paid £20) I can understand someone not wanting to pay £15 when someone else is getting in for £7.50. It's just daft, bizarre and unnecessary and they would make much more money charging everyone £10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question, if you're not a ST holder, how many of the £5, £2 freebie type 'let's pack BP' offers have you taken advantage of over the last few years whilst ST holders have missed out on as they paid for their ticket at £14 a game the previous May? And no, I've never had a problem with discounted games as it gets people through the door but I know it grates with others. I don't see the issue the more the merrier as long as the freeloading day trippers 'aint sitting in my seat! On this occasion I'm pleased ST holders are getting a bit of a perk and yes we get first dibs for big games but in comparison to a lot of clubs at our level our ST are quite expensive. Tbf we're going for the pissup anyway and £15 is pretty reasonable when most clubs are charging around £25 for a league game these days.

I thought Forest away was a shite draw, wasn't up for it at all. So much so I was plastered by the time we got there (Late) Cheers Bluebelle Bus (as per) Smith scores an own goal we were woeful...then probably the greatest 7 minutes as a Latics fan in 25 years.

I just want to pay for my home matches in advance at a lower price and get first dibs on Liverpool in the cup. Simple as that. I've never, ever got a reduced price ticket for an away match and I've never thought that I should. The thought has never even occurred to me. I still don't think I should since somebody did conceive of the madcap idea a few hours ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
