by locking fans out. Loads of seats in the West Stand plus others scattered round the ground if the gate figures are correct. I suppose we didn't print tickets in advance - doh.
i did feel like standing up and singing 'where we you when we were ****!!' to the 'glory' supporters who turn up when it suits
well, when i called for my dad a ticket on friday there was only tickets left in the west upper block E, and west lower block 1 (or summat along them lines).</p> no tickets were available at all in east or ponty. so im guessing that some people didnt turn up for what ever reason.</p> im not quite sure why they didnt sell tickets behind the away dugout though.</p>
west stand was unreserved seating too The away side of it anyway so tickets couldnt/shouldnt have been an issue.</p> The away stand had NO segregation in it, ie they could come as close the the home fans as they wanted yet the HOME west stand was segregated. Home fans being kept away from home fans? Why?</p> It looked to me as though somebody had forgotten to remove the segregation after the birmingham match and it cost us a lot of money yesterday. roughly £2500-3000 just in that one section of the west stand.</p>
yes i agree to a big extent, however funding was found by many for the trip to cardiff. some prices that day amounting to more than half the price of a season ticket
The problem is that a lot of season ticket holders cant make it to every match which means a lot of empty seats. Of course most matches this isnt aproblem but in popular games like saturday it can be. It could be a good idea for the club to look into the possiblity of a 'buy back' system where in likely sell out games they will buy back the season ticket of fans who can't attend, maybe for just £5 and then sell them to other fans for full price. I know a few of the more popular clubs do it
As a one off people will scrape the money together, as a regular thing they simply can't. You'll probably find that those who can't afford to go to oakwell regularly were sat in the cheapest seats at cardiff too.</p> You'll also find that it is Barnsley's responsibility to attract the customers and make sure their product is affordable, not the customers responsibility to make sure they regularly find the funds to pay more than they can really afford.</p>
yeah point taken, i will take back what i said. what you have said is correct and i hope that barnsley will follow many other clubs in dropping prices next season
