Peterborough Tickets Reduced

£20 if bought in advance - good move by the club, what's the point in charging £28 for a ticket that no-one will buy. £20 is a lot better.

 

yep they may as well charge £20 for a ticket not many will buy

winning games is the key, not cheap tickets........would you buy a cheap ticket to a show you knew was gunna be she ite?....NO

hth

 

No one will buy 'em at £20.

The people of Barnsley will be in the Walkabout pretending to be Mancs and Scousers.

 

Any cheaper would just p*ss off the season ticket holders, I do think it will attract more people but the club have already shot themselves in the foot because most people think it's £28/£30 to get into Oakwell for any game so they don't even look.

The Blackpool game hasn't been advertised very well so I can't see this reduction getting much exposure.

 

Still think the key is to make is £20 on the door. Not all the time, but try it this time. Same with the £3 discount, dedicate a turnstile to it and then let fowk flash their card and get 'em in for £25 nicker.

The more barriers you put in front of fowk to part with their cash the less likely they are to do it.

 

I'm a season ticket holder and it doesn't piss me off. £13 a game for ST holders so why would <£20 piss us off? To be honest, football is pricing itself out of business. People are so used to getting ripped off that some of the smug fans on here now think £20 is cheap. Football used to be a working class sport watched by working class people but those days are done. Entrance fees have rocketed beyond belief following the all-seater stadia and Sky coming on the scene.

 

Ticket prices have rocketed to sate the greed of the fecking useless players. Who are no better than the players of the 80s who were on far less.

 

I'm sure those players in the 80's wouldn't have turned down the money they get offered by clubs.

 

Spot on.

 

I'm sure they wouldn't. But they weren't offered it and they didn't demand it.

The simple fact is that we are paying inflated prices to pay ludicrous wages. End of.

 

It makes me laugh when folk say that 'people think it's £30 so they don't look' and such comments.

They don't look on here, on BFC twitter or Facebook, in the Chronicle, on the official site or anything? And they don't have any friends that do that mention it to them and ask if they want to go? I tell friends who aren't even Barnsley fans and drag one or two along sometimes. Can't be much of a fan if they don't look on any of these things, other than maybe the older generation.

 

I've made my feelings pretty well known lately, and hats off to the club for trying to combat it,
still works out at £48/£45 for the 2 back-to-back games, which, isn't "too bad" but still too rich for my pocket.
however i think they should have introduced a 2 match ticket to try and entice fans to both games, this could lower the Ipswich game turn out.
i had planned to go to the Ipswich game only, mainly because i can't take the nipper to night games

 

Why don't they just make it free entry?

 

In a nutshell. There can be no argument. The general financial state of the game bears it out. And that is even with all the sky money. Football wages are ridiculous.

 

Are you meaning that is the cost for you and child? If so it can't get cheaper than that.

 

who said free?
thought a £40ish double header might have sounded better, get folk to buy both for a decent discount?

 

Anyone with a bit of common sense and forward planning can go to the next three home games for a combined cost of £57.50 - just over £19 a game. It really can't get much cheaper than that.

 

forget the £12.50 blacky un, thats a treat
but its still £48/£45 for the other 2
still expensive, but i'll still probably make 1, and also probably miss the cheap £20 un, due to it been a night game!

 

I've already booked a half day for the Peterborough game, let's hope the price reduction will tempt a few more to join us!
