BigAl&Toby Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Kids can’t come so I have at least 2, maybe 3 spares for tomorrow. They’re concessions but if anyone wants them/try their hand I’m happy to meet you before the game, loan you the cards to get in, then you give them back. Anyone interested?

I’ve made my thoughts on adults trying to get in on kids tickets very clear before, so I won’t go there. But you do realise that it’s your kids tickets that will be confiscated, and you that may get banned, if the stewards are doing their jobs properly..!

Who said anything about adults? I’m looking for an U19 who might want to take their younger siblings in. That clear enough for you? And of course that would mean 3 extra bodies to support their team. 3 extra bodies spending cash on programmes, crisps and pop. Perhaps under-privileged who might not be able to afford to otherwise attend. Christ I’ve paid for the tickets and I’m offering them for free. Can you explain what you find objectionable to that? Actually no. Don’t bother. Enjoy the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame @Bar BS3 gets so high and mighty about it. I’m guessing he’d rather deny those who might not otherwise be able to go the opportunity. And to make it clear - I’m not wanting anything for them - unless a couple of quid in a charity bucket is felt reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Does anyone know how much it is to upgrade a ticket to an adult one for a game? If it isn't too much then I'd like to take @BigAlToby&Liam up on one of the tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they’re with their mum this weekend and can’t get a pass! 2 step sons aren’t up for it - although 1 might change his mind. i reckon there will be 3 spare. I know someone who doesn’t want one or get the idea but if anyone else does THEY’RE FREE UNLESS YOU NEED TO UPGRADE THEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the prices online (if I've understood this right) then to upgrade to u25 is the best part of £20 so I'm priced out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Strange that they allow you to upgrade, when they make it perfectly clear that tickets are non transferable in the first place. Anyway, just use it as is, no way will you be stopped especially near kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we've never met but if you are struggling to pay the difference I am happy to pay it for you no strings attached. A full seat is better than an empty one. I wouldn't normally do this but I know you are a huge football fan (not just City) and I like the majority of your posts on here so am happy to help you out. PM me if you're interested.

You are more than welcome to split it with me. I like James's posts and realise he is fairly young and £20 is a lot for him. I did read recently you are originally from the Kingswood/east Bristol area (?) so I'm wondering if maybe I know you. I think (could be totally wrong) that we're a similar age too (I'm 42). Anyhoo, no matter either way, as I'm happy to pay for James anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m from Henbury now, but previously Ashton, whitchurch, Knowle. I’m 38. Ive never lived over your side of town, so I doubt we know each other. Apart from perhaps in matchday pubs!

I'm obviously getting more senile in my old age! James, if you are reading, give me a PM. I know you're from the Kingswood area and am even happy to pick you up and give you a lift to the ground (I'm in Downend). I only have a 2 seat van and am already giving a mate a lift but if you're happy to sit in the back the offer is there. I'm happy to get you a few free pints before the game too. All you need to do is arrange to meet up with BigAlToby&Liam to grab his ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED4LIFE Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 A little update. James has messaged me and I have asked him to call me tomorrow. Hopefully he does and I can give him a lift down ( and back if he wants it) and he can grab BigAl's ST. Even if he doesnt manage to sort it with BigAl I am happy to buy him a ticket to the game as long as there are still some available. I can remember him posting about having to walk to a game from Kingswood once, and anybody who does that deserves looking after in my book.

BigAl&Toby Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Right then. One looks like it’s gone. Cost to upgrade from u19 seems to be £14. @JamesBCFC pm me if you’re on. I’ll make call this am and sort the upgrade. That leaves 2 more.
