Ealing Robin Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Lets see how many actually do attend this fixture, but I was looking to take my partner to this game, geuinly didn't think this would get anywhere near a sell out especially considering how many were at the most recent fixture. So I'm hopeful that there may be a spare knocking about I could take off someone's hands at face value. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ealing Robin Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 I have now secured a ticket ( there are so many flying around). I will leave those thread open though, as there seems to be a bit of demand for tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just interested, sorry if it upset you. It was a straight forward question that only he could answer. I did look as you can see, just a shame that the club only offer the best seats when they can’t get people to stump up the extra for a sit down meal and expensive drinks. Sums up the club for me.

Sorry, I replied to your line that the club had just released tickets for sale, hence the reply to look at the website I assume from your reply you actually meant where did he buy his tickets? Certainly no upset here Thing I would add its only recently the club have acknowledged that these unsold seats look worse than in the South Stand, and completely understand why they'll only ever be released at the last minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also a large number of empty seats in the South stand on a regular basis that presumably have been bought as season tickets (probably child STs) and rarely used? Doesn’t all of this demonstrate the ineptitude of the people who are running the club off the pitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume you realise that these tickets would be the most expensive seats in the ground, as there are normally other seats on sale in other parts of the ground I very much doubt there is much demand for these seats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone wants to sit behind the goal, up in the gods, or have their knees up near their ears. (South stand, upper Lansdown or Dolman, take your pick). As I said, ineptitude by the people who are responsible for ticket sales, and dare I say perhaps because you wouldn’t buy a more expensive seat for a perceived better view doesn’t mean someone else wouldn’t. Wasn’t the game advertised as sold out? Then suddenly their are seats available out of the blue. Organising a party in a brewery comes to mind.

It's called common sense, do the more expensive areas sell out first? Available seats were sold out but a decision was made by the football club to release normally unsold seats to support additional demand for tickets If you want to slag the club off for doing that it says more about you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought trying to maximise the income from seat sales would be common sense, so make all seats regardless of price available and then gauge the demand, the take up of the most expensive seats might just surprise them and you. If you don’t try you’ll never find out. Do you not think that someone might prefer a padded seat on the half way line as opposed to a seat up in the gods? I’m not slagging (nice word) the club off, merely putting my point of view on a forum. You might do well to follow the ‘attack the post not the poster’ unwritten rule. I prefer to make my point and leave it there, you seem to need to attack me rather than counter my post, and you are an admin aren’t you? Nice example to set.

I would say those tickets are on sale for every game at City if you buy Hospitality. It's a fine line for the club to sell them as regular season ticket seats and not have enough demand for games that have a high hospitality demand as this would bring in the most revenue to the club.
