As that's going to be in Hull again I thought I'd look into how we could start annoying Allam (without disrupting the games or anything like that) in places he likes going, and there's not much better than at an event he's the sponsor of and presents the winners' trophies. This year's ticketing isn't out yet, but have you seen last year's? There's no wonder there's no sensible ticketing policy at City when their favourite sport has this scattergun approach to concessions, zoning, multi session promotions, and bring a friend promotions. It's like each of Ehab's personalities got to set the price plans for each stage of the tournament. First 4 days, 2 sessions a day, adults £20 a session, kids £10 a session, no promotions Day 5, 1/4 Finals over 2 sessions, Back Wall Seats £35 a session, Unreserved £25 a session or £40 for both Day 6, Semi-Finals over 2 sessions, Unreserved £30 a session or £50 for both Day 7, Final, Back wall seat £50 or 2 for £80, unreserved £30
I won't be going I couldn't bear to be sat next to some child that had paid less than me, I mean they'd have the same size seat as me...it wouldn't be morally right...for me
Direct & disrupt. A mass court invasion & sit in would be ace. Strategic people in the crowd filming. Is it illegal to enter a squash court as it is entering the field of play at football? Could you be banned from the KC for disrupting an event at the "WeStoleIt" Arena? This has potential to get at them rather than the club.
Squash courts are quite small It wouldn't need to be a 'mass' invasion. Me you and Chazz would fill one!
Just print a load of these price lists (highlighting the fact there are concessions for kids) And put them in his letterbox, on his drive, give askew a large copy to hold on the roundabout, put the concession price on a bill board ****ing ****ers
Or enough tickets that the empty seats spell a message "Allam Out" or, donate the specific seat tickets to a charity, or a trampoline club, along with Amber tee shirts or hats, so they spell out a message.
March 19-26th at the Airco. Tickets on sale in the New Year. So they'll still be owners of the SMC until then at least. They wouldn't want to run the risk of there being problems under new owners.
Wouldn't surprise me if part of the sponsorship deal is a reduced or subsidised price for using the Airco. Would be interesting to know what the event generates in income for the SMC.
I think the squash tournament is an absolutely golden opportunity. But I also think there's a bit of a risk continuing to discuss it on a public forum here... not sure how best to get round that but this needs to go offline somehow.
