Leeds vs Bristol City, category A....

£37 in advance, £42 on the day

Aye, pricing was the same for our game.

Fuck knows how we're both category A.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Aye saw that on WACCOE yesterday, absolute madness.

 

[QPR_Matt]

We have sold 1k for Notts Forest away in the cup. Not sure if it belongs in here or not. Pretty good going seeing as we havent got past the 3rd round in over 10 years ... oh wait

Are we going to see an attempted boycott from Bristol City fans for Leeds then? Like they did at Wednesday.

Well, like the Wednesday game, I certainly won't be travelling all that way to pay those prices!

We were £40 on the day which IMO was horrendous enough. How do City become a cat A?

Ask Leeds! Daft decision.
We've taken a decent following there in the recent past but that can't have any bearing on it. We'll take 1,000 max at those prices this time, probably less.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Sadly it's not City that it's aimed at Cellino is aiming it squarely at Leeds fans, he is in major dispute with em.

Massive aren't they.

 

[WhiteRussian]

But why does that affect the prices away supporters have to pay? I know you can't charge away supporters more thsn home ones, but you can charge them less can't you?

I appreciate that Walkley, once again a very poor choice on his part. For us, it makes an expensive day, given the distance, even more expensive, putting a fair few off.
Is there anyone he's not in dispute with?

 

[Ciderup]

No, we're not.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Then you'd get Leeds fans trying to buy in the away section surely?

Himself?

Bloody well should do.

 

[Gerry Gow]

City fans: Looking for a spare West Brom ticket. If you know anybody that has one, please let me know!

 

[statto]

I do understand that theory, but you have to draw the lie somewhere.

I could afford to go to Wednesday (as you say, I pay more in travel to many more games) but I won't be ripped off by some foreign merchant trying to rip off the working man so he can experiment with his toy in a chase for the Premiership.

And it's not just Wednesday. I'm the same with Leeds or whomever decide to play silly nuggets.

Well said Miller. It's a matter of principle. I'll be at Brentford Tuesday night, £41.50 coach, £25 ticket (which is a disgrace), night off work, but there's no way I'll be at Leeds which would work out much cheaper. Until fans start boycotting the likes of Leeds, they will continue to charge what they like.
It will never happen though. We had a big 20 is plenty campaign the other month. The same week, we had over 10,000 at Man U in the League Cup, adults paying 45 and 55 quid a pop.

Two have just come up on otib if you're quick.

Scrap that can't see the thread now.

Aye Middlesbrough the bastions of virtue...... £32 a ticket

Your dead right Walkley but you still payed it the other week.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Your dead right Walkley but you still payed it the other week.

Yes I did....

 

[statto]

Yes I did....

Looks like you had a cheap day out compared to what your fans have to pay for home games.
£36?

Nope, it can be as low as £20 like it is next week v Bolton, £25 v Leeds etc

Non members £36 it says on your website.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Non members £36 it says on your website.

[statto]

For what?

Sheff Wed v Leeds. quote " Ticket prices start from £36 for Non Members on the Kop and £16 for Under 11s." unquote.

But members and season ticket holders can get tickets for £25.....

So if a guy just suddenly gets up on Saturday morning and decides he fancies going to the match, turns up at the ticket office, he will pay ????.

No he'd pay £36 quid .... But £20 for Bolton which you ignored.

I didnt ignore it, it was the Leeds match that was advertised. Shall we call a truce. I've got a film to watch.
