Spoons Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Surely £10 a ticket and have the ground nearly full. Instead £18 and will have no more than 15,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 I’m obviously the only one who thinks that an FA Cup 3rd round tie against a Premier League club (even Huddersfield) is more exciting and valuable than a run of the mill league game against Millwall! I don’t really understand why it should be cheaper than £20, let alone £10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 £45 for the three of us to watch the game plus whatever we might spend at the ground on food and drink.

CyderInACan Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 It’s on foreign telly so should be easy enough to watch at home - spend £10 on 8 cans of Thatchers and a few bags of crisps and watch it in the comfort of your own gaff.

At £2 less a ticket they’d be attracting new fans.. those that at £12 won’t go cos it’s the first weekend after Christmas, not really a big draw etc... I don’t get the logic?!

RedM Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 It’s a good price if you haven’t been to Ashton Gate before, and I hope the club does well attracting the casual fan. For me my limit was £10 and my Dolman seat exceeds this by £5. So it’s a no from me. I don’t feel bad, been to all the home games and a few away too. I’ll use the money saved to go to Stoke on New Years Day, before anyone tells me I’m not a proper fan . Oh and IF we get a replay I’ll probably be looking at going to that.

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 I remember a time when fans and clubs got excited about the FA Cup and did their utmost to be successful in it. Tickets were at a premium and we all looked forward to the games. I think that all stopped around 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold day in January, late KO, them playing reserves protecting a relegation battle, us resting a few and giving a few young ones a chance(the main reason I’d go) just felt like a case for 10-12 quid tickets around the ground. Still loads of people who’d buy a 12 quid ticket for the Lansdown stand to see what it is all about. 12 quid across the ground and quid a kid seemed like a smarter choice imo but not outrageous either.

Truly on the fence with this one Agree with this. Interesting that a few people see us not playing a full strength side as a negative. Watching Eisa, Morrell and Adelakun all start, with the potential to see a few other youngsters would be the biggest draw for me. Whilst I'll probably just try to catch a stream, if there wasn't one I'd be much more likely to go watching players we don't get to see every week.

Up The City!

No, because it’s free tickets to Aston Villa season ticket holders. Like when City offer season ticket holders to bring two mates for £5 each. Only counts to season ticket holders of the club. 2 hours ago, Up The City! said: At a 10er I'd probs have though yea ok but 12 quid just slightly puts me in the nah I can't be assed bracket. 20 quid on food and drinks, 10er fuel, 12 quid to get in.

Bus isn't a option from here. For years and years I've been having a KFC pre match, followed by a few beers, I ain't going to change that in order to make attending a game against Huddersfield reserves more affordable. I'd just rather not go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
