Wow! £38 pay on the day Cat A*.....

Precisely. My dad will be in the same boat as you.

People desperate to defend this will still state "Oh well just buy a season ticket then", conveniently forgetting a lot of people simply can't do that.

The club have dropped a huge, huge bollock here and after all last seasons success have dropped significantly in my estimations.

 

The flexi ticket idea is obviously dead in the water now, for this season at least. It can't work when the prices for every game are different.

 

We need a referendum vote. somebody start a poll.
Those who want to "stay" with the pricing structure.
Those that want to "leave" the excessive games alone.

Jeremy corbyn to take over ben Mansfords role everyone on dole gets in for free.

 

I bet there's someone sat in an office at the club right now feverishly copying and pasting from this thread.

I could afford a season ticket (sorry, I know that sounds a bit conceited but I don't know how else to say it) if I wanted, but I miss too many matches to make it worthwhile. I was interested in the flexi ticket idea but as others have pointed out that can't work.

I've no interest whatsoever in prices charged by other clubs. Anything above £20 is a rip off at our level. I'm not paying it unless the club change it.

 

Agreed 100%. I remember it kicked off when the price for the game with Man Utd in the league cup was increased to £25.

Twenty's plenty and I won't pay any more so I'm afraid I'm out. I take no pride in adopting this stance at all in fact it saddens me.

It seems to me that the club aren't interested in occasional fans at all. I admire what they are doing in respect of season ticket prices but not everyone can or wants to go to all games.

I have to say that whilst this comment is leveled at BFC it really is more a general indictment of the state of modern football as a whole which is eating itself.

Honorable exception Reading who have adopted £20 for away fans tickets.

 

It's barmy and nonsensical. The feel good factor we've all enjoyed this calendar year is going to quickly evaporate with these ridiculous prices, in my opinion. I love my club, but I believe (as others have said) they've scored a huge own goal with this.

 

Absolutely disgraceful. Makes the play-off victory at Wembley seem somewhat hollow now.

 

No, a flexi-ticket can work, there's just no-one at the club who can be arsed to look into it. I work most weekends, so it's the very occasional Saturday and a few Tuesdays for me. A flexi-ticket/multibuy discount pass would have been ideal for me and my lad, but the club are just not interested. We're out, I'm afraid - just as my son was picking up a genuine love of tarn after last season's heroics as well. A real shame.

 

Why? A full season-ticket works under the same conditions. Think of it as a ST-lite - five games (or eight, whatever they can come up with) for a fixed price, averaging out at £20 or so per game. Just vouchers - still have to book ticket for the games you can make and redeem a voucher. If you don't use 'em, you don't use 'em. Club get their money upfront whether you come to the games or not.

 

I've been pushing for a flexi ticket for years. For example an ANY 5 ticket which you can use when you want. I meant it can't work this season, when there's such a mixture of prices. The games aren't equal.

 

Does anybody really know what the season ticket sales are so far?
I ask this in case the club thinks that they have now sold enough not to need to bother with pay on the day HOME supporters. Away fans will pay if they want to come, that's the added bonus.

 

So we should take the lead and dictate our prices, and expect the others to follow - if they don't, then complain. Twenty is plenty!

 

Why not. Season-tickets work, with that same mixture of prices. Absolutely no reason why they can't introduce it. Let's say it's a five-game pass, for £100. No specific five games; you choose your games, and book a ticket in the normal way, redeeming one of your five match vouchers. Doesn't guarantee you a seat - if you want to go to Wendy at home, you have to get in and book when available. If you miss out, you miss out. Club have got your £100 upfront anyway, so it's no loss to them. I wouldn't be able to pick & choose games - I'd have got my usual half dozen or so; if one of those included a Cat A* game, that would be through luck, rather than choosing.
Bring it in and they can have two lots of cash from me and my lad today. As it is, they'll be getting nowt.

 

When's question time with hecky pat and linton? I imagine this will be a hot topic?

 

Well said.

 

Maybe a good idea but how would you organise seating? You and other flexi pass holders might all want to turn up for say Newcastle but none want to go to see QPR.
How does the club plan for seat allocation, how do they know if you are going to go to the QPR game or not to leave those particular seats for possible (Haha!!) pay on the day attendees?

 

On another thread Gally who stated that the club are going to be looking at multi tickets/flexible tickets in response to some bitching on my part.

I usually take such things with a pinch of salt but he does work with supporters trust and wouldn't usually say summat if it wasn't right.

The supporters trust should regardless release a statement condemning the club and the prices but that's a separate thing.

 

Can someone ask tomorrow, how this is supposed to get lapsed fans back into the fold, or encourage new ones?
