i hope they'll hold the same pricing as the last two. there will also be much bellyaching, from people who spend their entire waking hours on an internet forum, but are outraged at being asked to use a website to buy tickets
you're probably right. if they can charge 4000 travelling boro fans £20 each, they'll probably think it's worth pi$$ing off a couple of hundred barnsley fans..
Delighted you can now buy tickets on line. Disappointed it was such a ball ache. My inbox is now full of messages from BFC addressed to a person I made up (Well, Muriel Spark made her up) in order to buy my niece a ticket. Jean Brodie gets more emails than I do (I bottled using the sweary name).
Not aloud to do that mate Minimum charge for adults in the 3rd round is £15.00 Set by the FA not the club
right. i think £20 is fair enough to be honest. got to think about making a few quid where we can. and i can't see us getting past boro..
Price needs to be agreed between the 2 clubs too, if we can't it'll be set by FA, probably at the minimum level.
£15, minimum price set by FA. Any more and I won't be going, and I imagine a lot of Reds fans won't either. Thing is, Boro will probably still bring loads anyway so it's down to whether the club want to make a bit more money at the risk of pissing off a large section of their own supporters.
I'd like £15 but I don't think £20 is out of the way for a 3rd round cup game against higher league opposition (Well, I do, it's far too much to watch football these days altogether, but relatively speaking). Cup games are no longer held in high regard, but I still look forward to them. I don't really understand why the FA Cup has lost its magic. There have been numerous theories put forward but I think it's due to high ticket prices and the fact the majority of us have season tickets now. We only used to have a few hundred season ticket holders. I went to every game for years, but apart from a few seasons in in the West Stand when I was really young, I paid on the day, like just about everyone else. I didn't start buying a season ticket until the promotion season to the premier league. When you pay on the gate every week, it's no different turning up to the cup game and doing the same. It's what you always do. When it's less than a tenner, as prices always used to be, you can afford it and you're used to paying it. When you've got a season ticket and your team has been crap all season and suddenly you're having to pay £20+ to see the team that perhaps you would have given a miss going to watch the last few weeks had you not got a season ticket you think, **** that. Attendances used to fluctuate massively. When we were doing well they'd go up, when we weren't they'd go down. People were far more likely to pick and choose their games and if they'd had a few weeks off after a poor run of results and our chances of doing owt in the league being zero, they'd still turn up to the cup games because we still had a chance in that. The game meant summat, unlike the league games where we'd already blown our chance of promotion. Now we all have season tickets the attendances are pretty steady throughout the season, we've paid so we turn up. Give us a chance not to come by charging us for a ticket and a lot of people take that chance.
up to people whether they choose to go or stay at the end of the day. i just personally don't get how it should cause such outrage, charging an extra fiver. i'm guessing in the vast majority of cases, if you can afford £15 you can afford £20. i wouldn't have thought it was a big enough hike to 'pi$$ off a large section of their own supporters'...but hey
£20 seems fair to me Boro will bring 2500-3000 so fair amount of money to be made Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Looks like the club are trying to make sure that most season ticket holders buy a ticket. Prices are £15 for them and £20 for non ST holders.
