Bristol Rob Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thinking about it, I'm not sure that with shared revenue from cup games we can give tickets to rugby supporters or any other group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Should be a tenner if we want a big crowd. Suspect it'll be £15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 £15 seems reasonable. Why not open the top tier in the Lansdown from day 1 of sales, the perfect chance for people to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevthered Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Personally I think that if the club knocks of a fiver a ticket it will be 20000 + People are getting interested now, it's not the first couple of rounds now or the JPT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members that plus a fiver and general sale the STH price plus a tenner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can claim a free ticket as part the deal to when they bought their season ticket. Would be a good game to make available for them to do this.

Correct. 22.3 A Visiting Club shall be entitled to a minimum of 50 Complimentary Stand Tickets. 22.4 A Visiting Club shall also be entitled to one third of the seats usually reserved and known as the ‘Home and Visiting Directors’ Seats’ up to a maximum of 24 seats. 22.5 Complimentary tickets issued by the Home Club, other than those required pursuant to Rule 22.4 and any required to be supplied to Sponsors under any agreement entered into by the EFL, but including those supplied to the Visiting Club pursuant to Rule 22.3, in excess of 250 must be accounted for at the appropriate rate.

Dynamite Red Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hull won't bring many for a midweek game so we need to pack the ground full of City fans, unless the price is attractive we may struggle. £10 and a 20,000 crowd would be good.

It's naïve to think the opposition don't affect the interest level and the pricing. No one would reasonably expect an all-pay game against Man Utd to be priced the same as an all-pay game v Hull. Even within our ordinary league fixtures we have gold and silver matches. £50 would be excessive, but everyone would happily pay gold category prices for Utd.

WhistleHappy Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Need to negotiate & agree pricing with Hull asap.... if a good price is agreed get it publicised quickly and whip up maximum interest ... no reason this tie couldn't attract a big turnout, just curiosity about the revamped stadium and maybe top tier of new stand would get a fair few in if the price is right.. besides the football.

I'm not actually being daft. What I'm saying is if it's a case of needing to reduce prices to get people in to watch a less attractive opposition and people are calling for reduced prices for it, then would those same people understand and accept it if we got Man Utd/Arsenal etc at home in the quarter finals of the club turned around and said "we did £10/15 tickets because you wanted us too. Now that's we've got the battening power then it's only fair that you pay £40/50 to get into this game that everybody wants to come and see" That would still work out at having been £25/30 per match over the 2 matches. I know it probably wouldn't/won't happen, I was hypothetically asking what if..? What they should do as an extra pull for the Hull game is say that (whatever the price charged) your ticket stub, virtual on a card or physical stub, will give you priority on general sale IF we were to get a home draw in the quarter final.

extonsred Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Posters also seem to be forgetting that the team are beginning to attract fans because they are a joy to watch n are playing good football. Word is getting round and this is an ideal opportunity to capitalise on this. Last 16, highest goal scorer in the country, new stand etc etc. Maybe some specialist new marketing format could be looked at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, normal away allocation applies. Not that Hull will even take that up anyway. You're probably thinking of the FA Cup, where FA rules state that away clubs have a right to apply for up to 15% of capacity. In reality though individual clubs' safety advisory groups have the power to reduce allocations far below 15% if they feel safety may be compromised.
