ticket prices for walsall game

BARNSLEY Football Club have slashed ticket prices for the forthcoming FA Cup Third Round clash with Walsall at Oakwell.

The Reds will have had a string of home matches through the already expensive Christmas period and, as a gesture of goodwill, have agreed with Walsall FC to reduce admission prices to £15.00 for adults and £8.00 concessions.

These prices apply to tickets in the East Stand, Enterprise plc Stand and West Stand as well as for visiting supporters.

Barnsley entertain the Saddlers on Saturday January 7, 2006, KO 3.00pm.

Further information regarding on sale dates and priority booking for season ticket holders will be confirmed shortly.

 

Tight Wads....

would it have been too much to ask for £10 adults and £5 juveniles and Oaps ? WOW a big £3 cheaper then the last round. you goodwill gesture is pants.

 

It is better than .....

Nothing you moaning twit.

 

Exactly

Well done tothe chairman. They could have easily kept them the same.

 

RE: Exactly

surely it being only £3 cheaper against a lower league team shows how they overcharged against darlington ?

 

It may well have been

1. Walsall had to agree
2. Bradford had prices down to a tenner I believe, result was less than 5,000 fans

 

RE: Exactly

Thought it was £12 against Darlington, hows that overcharged?

 

RE: Exactly

It was £12, Wayne. Still got my ticket infront of me.

 

RE: Exactly

Yes but the point is they have actually reduced them.
Well done Gordon (or whoever sets prices). I know it is a disappointment that they didnt reduce them to 99p but come on give them credit.

 

RE: Exactly

Exactly £12 and people are still moaning. Bloody hell.

 

I dont get it

They moan because it's £18, and then when they reduce prices by £3 they moan still because &quot;It's no difference&quot;</p>

I bet they'll moan even more if the club raises prices by £1</p>

 

15 quid for east upper is reasonable

not as good for numbsculls in the ponty though

should have been 13 quid all round though and no one would have cause for complaint...

still at least its an effort.

 

RE: It may well have been

My understanding is that the home team sets the price.
The away team can appeal to the FA to change the pricing?

 

Red Tyke And Eaststander....

red tyke its £15 not £12.
eaststander bradford was £15 not £10. and if we had £10 for this "extra match they didnt budget for having" then we could have got 10,000 for walsall or at least 9,000.

 

RE: It may well have been

Your understanding is incorrect, the profits from the tie are split three ways, between the two teams and The FA. The ticket prices are also agreed by the two clubs, not sure whether The FA have a say in it or not though.

 

RE: Red Tyke And Eaststander....

I was on about Darlington being £12 and you moaning about it.

 

RE: It may well have been

I beg to differ Guest.
HOME team sets the price.

RE: Red Tyke And Eaststander....

i wasnt. £12 was a good price. i was saying how if they think for teams in our league they can charge £18 and £15. then it makes it look like £12 is overcharging if you see what i mean.

 

RE: It may well have been

I'm afraid I must beg to differ again. Both teams arrange a price. Hence the £12 vs. Darlington, both teams agreed to it.

 

the home team sets the price

and then the away team either agrees to it or appeals to the FA so effectively they both have to agree on a price but the home team is the one that sets the initial price.
