With the ticket shortage of the last few seasons, how come this season, tickets have become readily available? is it because: 1) The plastic are disappearing 2) We are not winning at home 3) The club have secretly installed thousands of seats 4) 1 & 2, We are not winning at home, so the plastic are disappearing. 5) Laudrup's style of football 6) Recession and Hard times 7) Ticket prices too high This is the first season since coming to the Premiership that getting tickets has not been an issue, with the exception of the first few home games, so what's up doc!.......................
8) All the people who were desperate to get to PL games are going to the Europa League games instead, as many season tickets holders don't go to Europa games.
This is referring to Premier league aswan, you could get tickets for Newcastle easily last night! and it's been the same for a good number of games this season!..........
Your probably correct there aswan, not winning might have some influence, as plastic are only there for the winning run!............
I had a season ticket the season before we went up. Didn't get one on the promotion season due to other commitments and then was unable to get a season ticket for the prem. tried getting tickets to the matches but found it virtually impossible for the best part of a season and half. Have more or less give up on trying to get tickets now so just go to the pubs to watch the games. Now that I know tickets are easier to get again then I'm definitely going to be attending! But I know a lot of people were in the same boat as me and have probably given up, not knowing how easy they are to get now.
Have tickets ever been hard to come by outside the top 6 games? If the situation is as described then maybe it's just the novelty wearing off for some plastics. I doubt they're intelligent enough to notice Laudrup's style - you know, the one that won us a cup and got us to the best position ever in the League.
16000 season tickets, 2000 away tickets which leaves only 2000 tickets left. If people with the jack army membership haven't already snapped them up then it's very difficult to get them on general sale.
£35 is very expensive to watch any bloody football game imo and the hard times are kicking in, You don't even gain financially by getting a ST anymore with all the promotions and freebies handed out to the wrong people. Clubs have become far too greedy and it will only get worse as long as fans keep on paying the over the top prices...
You get some on footie forums too. Slagging the team off week in week out then revelling in a win.... Why, only this week I noticed someone who didn't have a good word to say about the team, Laudrup or the club itself before our game with Newcastle.....even cosying up to our moron cousins in red whilst having a go at fellow Jacks. Then lo and behold, we win, and he is all over the board with fullsome praise for the boys...even finding the time to accuse others of only being a supporter when we are winning
Is it a case of tickets becoming available just before a game due to away club not taking up their allocation. Its a bloody long trip from Toon land to Swansea on a Wed night.
just went to the clubs ticket site to buy tickets for the Hull match, not 2 together to be seen and just a smattering of ones
I don't think he's referring to me, but if he is, well it's probable down to the fact that he doesn't understand issues that well, so I always make allowances for those that are a bit backward!............... please log in to view this image He's a likable fella though, in an abstract kind of way!.............
1, 2, 5, 6 & 7. The football is a bit haphazard at times so people who weren't always fussed can see that we aren't winning and are weighing up the cost of expensive tickets in these austere times so they say, "**** it!" I'm still not a fan of the term, "plastic fan". You get fans that rate how important the Swans are to them and sometimes they have to put the Swans on the back burner for priority and cost reasons. Then the Swans enter a period of their emerging history that increases the Swans priority to those fans. The 'how can I continue to put the Swans on the back burner' lot. Under those circumstances, they may be more prepared to make other sacrifices to allow the swans to take a bigger part in their lives. There's nothing plastic about that.
This is about right - but most people, including myself I admit, like to put others into boxes of various sorts and stick labels on them.
