    Last season i went to the ticket office with the "Sun Offer" tokens and £20 for two tickets ..... at the ticket office, I was rather snuggly told they did not have any "Sun Offer" tickets left, but could do full price ...... so £40 odd quid ..... I gracefully declined .... I think it was the Derby County match - attendance 10,000 ... so 10,000 empty seats.... thus Barnsley FC were less my £20 ....
    surely my £20 is better than my £0 .... ???????

    Unfortunately till day I stop following Barnsley there'll always be someone who moans about pricing. If we charged a kid a quid someone pillock would say it should be 99p.

    For the majority we seem to get it right but for others then the club will never win. Admittedly the clubs public relations could be better but when they attempt to harmonise this they got shot to ****. We've done away with the match day but this as still annoyed people. Unless its man utd, Liverpool or Chelsea down at the well or were top of league or it's 10p in the so called Barnsley fans of the town would just rather sit back and mock the clubs efforts and s****** behind there sofas. Well to all those that fall in that catogary **** off to walkabout and watch your big name teams on tele.

    Sunday rant over!

    Not really. If the SUN offer is a pre-determined number of tickets, then once they are gone they are gone.

    There is clearly a broader issue around pricing but in this case they had run out by the time he got there. First come, first served, regardless of the number of empty seats.

    Nowt to do with the club, the Sun determines the number of tickets available

    As there appears to be a number of threads RE:low Bristol attendance, how much would you pay, 125 years Celebration game, what does the club do to fill the empty seats etc ..... I thought the post was rather topical ... then perhaps NOT

    The good point I was meaning was in there was the broader issue of pricing, and all the empty seats.

    There is an issue about pricing, but the Sun determine the number of tickets. If those tickets have run out then why should ou get the ticket cheaper than anyone else that pays on the day. If you want cheap prices then buy a season ticket.

    its only topical because of the moaning ****s,,,nobody is saying that 25/28 quid isnt to be sniffed at but to read the threads and posts on here anybody would think barnsley are the only club charging these prices,,the next time we'll be paying below 20 quid on a regular basis we'll be in league 2,see whos moaning then,,,,ffs get to as many games as you can and show the club and team some support,you never know if we could raise the attendences we may even get the chance of somebody wanting to invest in the club..
    we'd all like to pay a tenner a game but we cant.

    I remember a poster once complaining that he had bought a ticket for the Coventry match last season and for some reason he missed it. He then went to the ticket office after the match to get a refund and he was rightly told where to go.

    This thread reminded me of that.

    It's the equivalent of me asking for a season ticket, them telling me £350 and me offering £200 and a £5 morrisons miles voucher.

    That offer's nothing to do with the club.
