OK then, a long walk to the shrine of a small cult*. *[Here's an opportunity for a joke from someone with limited imagination]. I would not lower myself but after 20 years of marriage the idea of a small cult is appealing. Actually I have to lower myself to repeat a joke from many years ago :- Doctor examining a vagina at close quarters Doctor: "My god what a large vagina. My god what a large vagina" Lady: "that maybe true Doctor but why did you say it twice?" Doctor: "I didn't" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Why oh why dont we open the upper tier for all games. So many dont come because they cant get a seat with a decent view or cant buy 3 or 4 together. The best seats in the house and they are rarely on sale. The view is great from up there.

Two in my office were keen to go on the mates deal but wanted to try the upper tier... I'm sure there are reasons for non opening (though never seen the club explain it) no upper tier so sadly two lost fans for the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty Swallocks Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I find it strange that people will only go in the upper tear when there are still tickets available in other parts of the ground that offer better views of the game.

Maybe get to the last 1k and open the top , do it once or twice to see if it makes a difference. 20 minutes ago, Betty Swallocks said: I find it strange that people will only go in the upper tear when there are still tickets available in other parts of the ground that offer better views of the game.

Not being funny but when did you try and get a City Ticket? If you tried a week or two ago I would have thought there were more options available. Looks like it's pay on the day toady too , you never know top tier maybe open later. https://twitter.com/bcfctweets/status/908933469459369985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Top tier. Give the men in suits a decade or so and the penny will eventually drop they are losing hundreds, if not, thousands of ticket sales. Only took them about 20 years to sort the phone system out. We actually managed to load tickets on cards once. Did actually get the 'seat selection' stadium block plan to work once on an iPad as well! As, the now defunct British Rail said, we're get there!

The top tier may nudge a few more into coming , then they may enjoy it enough to start coming regularly . When the ground was first being redeveloped I didn't have a ST, I ended up sitting front couple of rows of the Atyeo, trust me it makes a difference . If you're thinking about coming but can only get a 'poorer seat' then it may put you off. It's different to, you're coming whatever, where can I sit.
