At most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brainer from club to attach perk of buying a half season ticket to gain top priority for man utd game. A fair few could miss out yes but at least the club have made a few quid.

ChippenhamRed Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 After a period of extensive negotiation with fearsome Mrs ChippenhamRed, I have just agreed the purchase of tickets for the Preston and Wolves matches to get me to the magic four games!

On a half season ticket Plus £35-40 for a manc ticket just for one game. If they buy one then they were going to buy one anyway I’d suggest.

I guarantee these prices will be lower than next season's league fixture against the same opponents Can't see Mourinho going on a worse losing run than we did last season !

Chappers Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Priority seems about right, but still think prices are too high. No great shock as ManUre are masters at fleecing fans, but bearing in mind that they have League games on 17th, 23rd, 26th and 30th December, and 1st Jan, it's pretty likely to be a second string team.

Harry Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Perhaps season card holders who can't make this game might want to purchase their ticket anyway and offer it at face value to some regular posters on here who may not get one.

Gold category pricing for our most sought after game in years. This is the same price a non-member pays for the likes of QPR or Wolves. In that context I think the pricing is fair - whether football is overpriced in general is a different matter, but I'm really not sure what people were expecting for this game. It could easily have been worse, and would still have sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gifford Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'm OK as I'm a member who has been to almost all games (couldn't attend Villa). Ive upgraded to a half season ticket, (but this was on first day of sale, even before we played palace). I think the priority is a fair as its going to get. I would have liked to see 2nds to those who have attended all city home and away league cup games. Going forward I think we need multiple membership tiers. Have one taken at start of season (give a couple games leeway that gives you more priority than those halfway . Away games should have counted but not take preference. A long trip to Sunderland can't be rewarded as you could live next door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why the club would have an issue when it doesnt take anything away from them, and the ST holders aren't gaining money from it. The game will sell out, that's a certainty, and doing what Harry suggested would mean those tickets would definitely be going to the hands of City fans.

DOZZYBCFC Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Tbh I think they've got it as right as they could have. Although I must admit that I'm gutted that my chances of a ticket are zero to none. My family have season tickets and I attend when I can, child care permitting. I have membership and have gone to 4 home matches but because they were not assigned to me, these do not count as they can't prove it was me (why would my dad purchase an additional ticket when he has a season ticket already !). This part doesn't seem fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seebokseduction Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Bit disappointed that away attendance hasn't been recognised. I now live 3 hours from Bristol with transport logistics tricky to AG, but attended 17/23 away games last season and have done 6 so far this season, shame that counts for nothing to get a ticket.

Totally, I've done 3 home and 3 aways this season. Ultimately though Bristol Sport view you as a customer and not as a supporter. You have contributed nothing to the BCFC coffers by attending away games therefore you are less important than someone who has attended just one home game. Deal with it.

No he didn't assign them to anyone else, it just shows he's bought an additional ticket when he already has a season ticket and bought 3 cup tickets although he can quite easily sit on 1 seat.

Of course it counts. The club don't expect everyone to buy their own ticket - otherwise no one would ever sit together! Assigning a ticket to an individual means that ticket forms part of their own booking history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
