Ticketing policy to upset Seasoncard holders?

[highlight]£10 tickets for Everton game[/highlight]

It makes you wonder why us season ticket holders bother stumping up such a large amount in Spring when we get fuck all for it!

You're right mate. I feel sorry for the citycard and accesscard holders who shelled out full price for this game! ;-)

I bought my mate a ticket for the Liverpool game... cost £44.

My season ticket price for the same game... £22.

See, I'm already up on the deal even if he buys one for a tenner on Wednesday.

Home Cup games should be included for season ticket holders. This would help to swell the numbers in the early stages. Lets face it, we don't need ticket money any more.

Joking aside it's absolute Bollox.

With a ticket for a tenner for this game and the four match bundle, which includes the Derby, coming in at £87, that's a total of less than a ton for over a quarter of the seasons's home fixtures. Mmmmm something stinks as I paid more than 4 x £87 for my seasoncard!

How can that not be rubbing the noses of Seasoncard holders in it?

Wait a minute, are they now flogging them off for a tenner?

My mate went to the Arndale to get a ticket today and paid £23 (?) with discount.

There's a link in the first post which explains it.

I'm all for the club doing what it takes to sell out, though I don't own a ST. Can see why you'd be pissed.

There is only a restricted amount of tickets at that price, this bit at the bottom is a giveaway

"Seats will be allocated by the box office and will not be available online or over the telephone"

You cant get them online or over the phone so when you go to the ground just before the game and they are sold out at that price you end up paying the full price.

You can look at this in two ways:
a) you get home cup games for 'free'
b) you are forced to buy tickets for cup games as well even if you don't attend.

but I agree, if the seasoncard was still reasonably priced it would imo be a good idea.

It's a great idea, fair play to the club. Stop whinging FFS.

Yes.


so to extrapolate further somewhat, without said posters whinging about the reality (also duality) of the correlation betwixt seasoncard prices (mine was £436 without the hookers) and the new-fangled "perambulate-upwards" tickets, one could reasonably hypothesise that you, that which meaning your persona upon this BBS system on the information-super-highway, would be entirely denied of your own, personal gripe?
