Leeds still have 300 left for Villa, on sale to membership card holders at Villa Park, won't sell out.

When did Leeds get so tinpot

Your fans have had enough for this season. Don't blame them, and although I fully expected you to sell out 2500 at our place, it's not bad.

Millwall now sold out. Went on sale to 10+ aways and sold out within two hours.

Sunderland away is expected to sell out at 6 mimimun aways for us. They've only give us 2589.

Too many dickheads throwing stuff down by the looks of it they block the bottom bit off now.

That's shit, but not surprising. I've never known them give anymore than 3k for a league match. You might get a few hundred more. Can't see them wanting a big away following celebrating winning the league whilst they are celebrating relegation. We could sell 6k for Millwall no problem, but no chance will we get any further allocation.

 

[villa loyal]

We've unsurprisingly opened the whole of the trinity upper for the Derby game. The rest of the ground is close to sold out, so could be a 40k crowd.

Nah, most love this game in probably the best stadium in England, complete fuck up by the club.

JJH I'm like Blademan on an away minimum 150 before ticket and travel, not a cokehead so usually down to ale and I'm a c*** for the bandit, if we get back on time i end up in casino. Home game is as bad but usually involves a bad pizza

Fucking hell how many years have you been doing that for? I'd hate to go and lose a shitload at a casino after a quality day out would put a dampener on it.

I'm usually about £120-150 for a whole day including ticket and travel but obviously my match ticket is usually cheaper and I have a railcard for the train so it's not too bad, but won't be doing nearly the amount of aways next season as I have this as I won't be able to afford it every week at uni.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Could imagine a few on here doing a line of coke on the concorse before a match

I lost 2.5k after orient last away match of season a few years back, was flying to Barbados 2 days later, they were bad times

Jesus christ.... my mate did something similar and banned himself from the casino on the way out a few months back, I wouldn't be able to walk away at that number.

Not if you're remotely realistic.

 

[LancashireTrotters]

There’ll be around 2,500 at Barnsley. I’m not confident.

 

[Jamo]

Pretty solid numbers that at 30 quid.

The entire ground won't be confident, we're both absolute shite

Only £30 for them despite them charging you £32 like us

 

[Jamo]

For some weird reason Yorkshire clubs have chosen to give Bolton reduced (ours should be more given what you lot charged us) prices, despite them charging us all 30+ quid. Bizarre.

Edit: us, Leeds and Wednesday anyway. Don't know if United gave them cheaper tickets.

£27 cat A prices it was at ours.

£27 cat A prices it was at ours.

Suspect a normal Bolton home fixture would have been a cat B pricing
But we played them over the popular Christmas week, so can understand why we increased it to cat A pricing.

Sheffield Utd don’t have tit for tat reciprocal pricing.
We just charge cat B for the least attractive games where they expect a lower than average crowd.
Cat A is charged for the attractive games where a big crowd is expected
And then there’s cat A* which are rip off prices but know the match is so attractive people will pay.

I always understood you can’t make up a figure to charge away fans.
The rule is away fans MUST be charged the same as home fans in similar facilities.

So if Barnsley wants to charge Bolton £32, they’d also have to increase prices to charge their own fans £32 too. Many clubs kind of get around this rule by charging high prices but then offering home fans a generous discount if they join their membership scheme.

I know, you're not getting the point, barnsley charge reciprocal pricing. We charged barnsley £32 , bolton charged barnsley £32 , barnsley charged us £36 but bolton only £30. Not that away ticket prices would ever concern you anyway mate.

Get it now.....makes no sense though.
If Barnsley do reciprocal pricing then why charge us more then we charge them?
Maybe it’s because we don’t do reciprocal pricing?
Agree I’m not as bigger supporter as you and know my place ;-)
I’ve done my time going away in the 80’s and early 90’s but full respect to anyone who travels.
