To qualify for the reduction, tickets for the Hull City match must be purchase by 5.00pm on Tuesday 1st November and a Bristol City ticket stub produced. Only one reduced priced ticket can be purchased for each Bristol City ticket stub produced. Ticket prices on the turnstiles will be at Category A prices.

Juveniles aged 5-11 matchday tickets can only be purchased at the price shown with a full paying Adult/OAP season ticket or matchday ticket and cannot be purchased on the turnstiles.

 

I know Bristol City shouldn't be a CAT A game but those are great prices if your in the 1912 club for the Hull game!! Plus you get money off the Bristol game anyway!!

 

Completely idiotic making the Bristol game £30.


I don't think that making the Hull game £23 will make much difference to the attendance. Not many will spend £30 to watch Bristol just to save £7 on a Hull ticket IMO

 

unda 50 4 2 adalt ticks iz gud

 

Good luck with trying to get people to spend £30 to see a team thats bottom of the Championship.

 

25 wid da 1912 thingy. den u can get hul tik 4 23. fink unda 50 4 2 games @ dis leval is nuff rezonable

 

So spend a tenner to save £2? (your making the assumption that people have a 1912 card)

Makes no odds to me i live 150 miles or so away.

 

12 nt 2 coz widout da card u wud b payin 2 30s. plus u cuda used da card alredy n plenty o utha tyms 2 use it dis seezun

Ignore me im a ****ing ******.

 

Some people are never satisfied. I don't why the club chuffin' bothers.

 

I would normally agree with you but on this occasion it looks a bit half ar$ed. They are basically selling both games at £26.50, a £3.50 discount. Won't make a blind bit of difference. They may even be worse off because some of the people who take advantage of the offer may have come anyway and paid full whack. It should have been a bigger discount to have the required effect, say a tenner for the Hull game if you produce a Brizzle stub (sold for £30). Even then people will still baulk at paying £30 to see us play Brizzle. Could have been marketed as a £40 for both if bought at the same time, or something like that. Or hows about taking it further and saying £100 for the remaining 5 games of 2011. Get some multi match offers on, I have seen other clubs do it.

 

They dont bother, what do you think the take up on this offer will be? Just an exercise by the club to try and appear as caring without it costing anything.

 

Barnsley reduce ticket prices as people want and still they can't do right for doing wrong.
1912 Members can get a Bristol City ticket for £25.00, they can get a Hull City ticket for £18 total cost £43.00 a potential saving of £17 compared to walk up prices. Even allowing for a £10 membership card, this is a saving of £7 and that does not include a £5 discount on each further Cat. A fixtures.

Even if you are not a 1912 member, you can get both tickets for £53 , that works out at £26.50 each. If you qualify for a concession you pay just £31 for both games (£15.50 a match) and if you are a 1912 member, you pay £25 for the two games (£12.50 per game).

This is a good offer for supporters and what people have been asking for, let's hope it has a good take up

 

I reckon the 1912 members would have attended at the normal price, that is why they paid the extra to join, so it has no effect there other than to actually reduce the ticket revenue. £26.50 for 1 off attendees is not very attractive. It will have no effect on the attendance IMO.

 

I don't know why they've chuffin' bothered with this. Will make no difference at all.

I saw the headline on Facebook "Barnsley to lower prices for Hull game". I got a little bit excited. I honestly believed they would have put the tickets to about £20 (even if you pay on the gate), or maybe a Cat C. . . . but no. Its £23 (a Cat B game, fair enough) but only, and this is the bit I like, if you commit to going to one the most overpriced game in the history of Barnsley Football Club (someone tell me if I'm wrong). Oh, and by the way, you'll have to make at least 1 trip to Oakwell to get the ticket before the game.

I'd rather they not bother if that's the best they can do. Someone at Oakwell wants their heads shaking if they think this poxy effort will bring the crowds in . . .

 

Tesco marketing put up the price only to shout out loud about it when reducing it.

Take it Supporters Trust were in on it then.

 

they could charge a 5er and we still wunt sell out, the cost is just an excuse, lets be honest theres a bloke in here moaning about the cost and he's from Wales he had no intentsions in going in the first place but thought he'd moan anyway, we've got 8'500 fans and thats it don't matter what we charge thats the way it'll stay

 

I'd be going if it was cheaper. I'll choose one of these games to attend despite this wonderful offer, due to the price.

 

I've got my tickets sorted for both at a cost of £13.70 each. Bargain.
