The club are offering them cheap to local football clubs, via the East Riding FA Adults: : £15.00 65+: : £10.00 16-22 year olds: £10.00 11-15 year olds: £5.00 10 and under: £1.00 Good move, the more the merrier, but it doesn't sound like we'll have many Cardiff in attendance.
How come we don't buy many tickets in case we can't sell them and not be able to send them back but we let Cardiff return a stack?
I was about to say if that's the case why are we still fleecing £15 for Adults, but then I remembered they can only drop so low so as not to devalue season passes. So anyone else who had the thought flash into their little pea brains, this is why.
There's also the fact that the away club obviously doesn't pay face value for the tickets, there's the away clubs profit on top of what they pay us.
Genuinely, I was sure as the sun rose this morning, that away teams didn't make anything and were merely just acting as a middle man between home club and away support, making the whole buying the right amount of tickets such a big deal. If the away side makes a profit it can't be much, and I don't see why they should, they'd be making on profit they don't have to contribute to with regards to stewarding, policing and what have you.
Does it show a lack of confidence in the Cardiff team i wonder ? Maybe more would have been sold if the fans had had FREE coach travel like the Stoke fans get. Lol.
That's not how it works. You get a choice of a smaller allocation or a larger one and if you take the larger one you can't return any. We've been taking the smaller ones because we can't guarantee to fill the bigger one and would have to return some, making a loss on each one we do. Cardiff must have also taken the smaller allocation and therefore are able to return some. That's true in the Football League, but not in the PL. In the PL away teams make nothing from ticket sales.
Got my cheap tickets, didn't think the offer for Sunday League clubs would still happen with us being in the Prem. £16 for me and the lad is excellent.
