I understood Brum were selling all tickets for a tenner. I'm sure they'll be exploiting a loophole but charging away support 100% more. ****s.
Clubs can only charge away fans the same as they're charging home fans for comparable seats, them's the rules.
Every seat in every home stand is available for £10. What are we getting that makes our seats non-comparable? A sausage train?
Having had a read through the rules I think Brum may be using this as a game they are allowed to implement as a "local promotion" . 34.2.11 Discounts or special promotions (in each case for one match only) made available to supporters of the Home Club must also be made available on a similar basis to visiting supporters provided always that each Club shall be permitted to designate four (4) Matches per Season as ‘local promotion’ Matches where this Regulation shall be deemed not to apply. Clubs shall notify The League of the Matches so designated as and when they are designated. http://www.football-league.co.uk/global/section5.aspx ****s I've still emailed the Supporter's Trust & FSF asking them to question the validity of charging away supporters prices ranging from 100% - 500% more than home supporters are paying.
"Discounts or special promotions (in each case for one match only) made available to supporters of the Home Club must also be made available on a similar basis to visiting supporters" That doesn't allow them to charge us more.
I think this bit on the end of the sentence means they can, although up to 500% more is taking the piss. " Discounts or special promotions (in each case for one match only) made available to supporters of the Home Club must also be made available on a similar basis to visiting supporters provided always that each Club shall be permitted to designate four (4) Matches per Season as ‘local promotion’ "
Anyone had trouble booking tickets online? Trying to book 3 but says "Unable to allocate the requested number of spaces" regardless of how many I try to book? Does their internet not work weekends?
That's what I used to do, but the article describing the clubs inane ticketing arrangement said they were unwilling to do that anymore, probably because it meant you could pick it up in person without a charge.
The standard response I got from the FL confirmed club's may only offer four "local promotions" per season. These promotions exclude away support. It could be a fantastic rule if it was mandatory, inclusive of all & reciprocal.
They can and they are doing regardless. Nowt being done to stop them either. I am happy to pay £20 no matter what the home fans are having to pay. NB. Could it be that away fans get a finger nail buffer, free drink and a soft cushion to sit on ?
