New Briatolian Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Anyone know if there's a way to get discounted tickets? Cheapest I've been able to find is £34, and I find it quite expensive... Have definitely paid a lot less at other Championship grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Email just received from the club says over 22k tickets sold. I was expecting a near sell out for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a membership, £20 up front but knocks a fiver off each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say I think that’s a lot for a corner position (block S19). Does little to encourage the half-interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Thinking about this a bit more, I think the club could be more innovative in encouraging new support. For example, people signing up for a Bristol Sport ticketing account for the first time could get their first match for £10, their second for £20, then pay ordinary price thereafter. It would enable City to grow their database, send emails etc, and gives potential new fans an affordable route in which might be enough for them to catch the bug. Appreciate there are sometimes offers but they tend to be match-specific, or rely on new fans knowing an existing STH. £32 for a seat in the corner for second tier football would be enough to put many curious or half-interested potential fans off.

I think it's like @weepywall says - otherwise they'd be creaming themselves and quoting 'sellout' in the headline. It would help nif they quoted how many home tickets are available though, if only to avoid POTD issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the match day prices are pretty steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s okay if you’re a ST, or know anybody that has a spare one for a game. But the match day prices are pretty steep. To me, the price ot watching football seems extortionate too Lew, but equally, it's a case of supply and demand and since we are averaging well over 20k per game, I guess that equates. I do agree that single match pricing is too high though and discourages potential new uptake. My suggested approach would be to discount seats with limited views along with perhaps the front row or two where you can see little of what is going on. Another might be to offer 2 or 3 game discounts, e.g. £35 for 1, £60 for 2 & £75 for 3. The problem with this though is that too many variables can just make things complicated and confusing. Of course, if the ground was bigger, then the club might be in a position to encourage new uptake more and I look forward to the days when the South Stand gets a second tier and the Atyeo is rebuilt to join onto the rest of the stadium with a full house supporting top tier football.

Bar BS3 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Just as a comparison & one that I often make regarding price... if I woke up today and fancied buying a ticket to watch the Book of Mormon at the Hippodrome, today, then the ticket options appear to be £32, £52, £60 or £80 options. I paid £97 for my ticket to see the Killers in June. Today, my ST ticket has cost me £18 I think. If I didn’t have an ST, I could get one today for £32 (£27 if I had previously shown enough interest to but a membership) if I wanted a “top seat” I guess it would cost me £42..? That would be my choice to select that price level though. Basically, live entertainment is expensive, I agree - but it’s not just football and certainly not just BCFC.

Exactly this. If you take the Atyeo off of the total capacity you only have about 22,000 tickets available for home fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally, we can't complain that the prices are to high and then moan about the fact that we can't sign a £15m striker, can we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
