Admin phantom Posted December 13, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Just reading on their forum that there tickets for tonight went off sale at 2pm yesterday By all accounts this was a decision taken by Brentford, but considering they have sold just under 600 of the 1500 allocation it amazes me that there is no POTD. Reading a couple of fans are now able to go, but are unable to get tickets - assume there is nothing that can be done @AdamB? One interesting thing, they have free coach travel tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JolliBee Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Many thanks Phantom for posting this. I am one of the Bees fans that realised 3 of us could make the game today at late notice. I am an ex season ticket holder over from Philippines for xmas. Unfortunately for some reason Brentford sent their unsold tickets back yesterday for some reason. On calling Bristol City ticket office they said there was nothing could be done. For the record we would be coming from Derbyshire if there was any chance of getting in the game. We didnt want to go down the going in the home end route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on @AdamB, surely common sense should prevail. Otherwise give the 3 of them the upper tier of the lansdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Cigar Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 There is absolutely no reason why there can't be POTD for away fans when the away team have sold so few tickets. And we'll have all the unsold away tickets ready and waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Jeez - that is shocking from Brentford. Tough time of year for people to be shelling out as it is, hopefully @JolliBee and friends can be accomodated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JolliBee Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 The crazy part is that Leeds away on Saturday allow POTD but they are charging an extra fiver for the pleasure. So its 42 quid for POTD to watch little old Brentford although we have tickets already for that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many reasons why Cellino has been banned. Again. But I very much doubt he has a clue how much Leeds charge for their tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JolliBee Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hey guys, to cut a long story short, someone high up at Brentford heard our plight and has left us 3 tickets for collection. Thanks for the nice words guys and best of luck for the rest of the season, (except tonight of course Ha Ha.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite 42 but it's £41 for a ticket in the West Stand against Cardiff. I'm guessing that's POTD but that's pretty much a disgrace as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, they're the best seats in the house, it's a brand new stand, and there are plenty of cheaper options available - unlike the Leeds away ticket. But nonethelesss I do fully agree that it is still too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Forest always seem to charge 'extra' on the day, not sure if it's just for away supporters? I can remember Mansfield claiming that they didn't do reduced prices for children last time we were there. (Like the gas they got their comeuppance a few years later!)

But nonethelesss I do fully agree that it is still too much. Thanks for that, I wasn't 100% sure about the POTD. In regards to Leeds and other clubs mind, its cheaper for away fans to watch PL games then it is in the 2nd tier due to the £30 cap put in place, surely the Championship can also adhere to this? Maybe a little cheaper than that. The argument could be made that the PL makes a tonne of cash and each team gets a fair wedge but it sucks for fans in our league to shell out for games away at Leeds, Ipswich, Wednesday etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
