Tickets for Capital One tie with Spurs on general sale...

...and at £30 a pop for adults, may they long remain so!

I find it despicable that they charge £10 for (lowly) S****horpe and I assume similar for Doncaster (I was away, so didn't go) yet now we have the chance to see a Premier second/third string v NCFC reserves, the price - as if by magic, trebles

I really hope they only get around 6 or 7,000 attending so their greed comes back to bite them on the corporate buttocks

well i'm not going. i think they'll do well to get 10k in the ground to be honest

 

Is that because you can't make it, or because you refuse to be fleeced in the manner I highlighted, Supers?

 

i refuse to pay that price to see what will in essence be a reserve fixture

 

I still can't believe that DM tried to justify the price. My 9 year old would love to go and at £5.00, I think that's fairly reasonable but £35.00, no chance. A huge Faux pas by NCFC, think of how many kids and non-season ticket holders would have gone, if they'd have kept the prices as before.

 

as i stated at the time the prices were announced, its a missed opportunity by the club. if we go through, i hope they think long and hard about future prices. for me, i think £15 for adults and £5 for kids would have seen a near full house. its irrelevant who the opposition are to a degree - kids just want to go and see the football - while adults who go alone already fork out an awful lot for league games.

 

I've just got a text from the club about the match tickets, yep all it says is kids for £5. doesn't mention the adult price. i guess they've made their bed now

 

So true

Any form of cup run is a bonus, both in terms of an opportunity to win a trophy and also to get extra revenue through the turnstiles/catering/programme sales etc.

Not to mention - at a sensible price - the chance to 'blood' the next generation of club supporters. This time, their pricing policy will hopefully deter people from attending.

Not to mention a kick in the teeth to those loyal fans who buy season tickets, travel home and away all over the country in all weathers. To expect them to pay virtual league prices for a second string outing is scandalous in the extreme.
Rant over and apologies for it if I'm being unrealistic.

 

fcuk em,

I'm not going through principle, it's bloody disgusting what they are charging for a league cup game. It's not even the FA cup.

I hope no one goes and they play to an almost empty staduim, Mcnally and the board need to be sent a message and the only way of doing it is by voting with our feet and wallets. I will not be fleeced out of my hard earned cash to watch a league cup game where it will be a second string side that is fielded.

All the club is doing is alienating the fans and it will bite them back some day, they have forgotten it was us that got them out of trouble a few years ago and without us the club would almost definately gone to the wall.

 

also, we've already been at home in both previous rounds, so they are already making a tidy extra sum of money from gate receipts they could not guarantee pre-season. i hope, sincerely, that the club are merely 'testing the water', to see what they can get away with, and that this isn't going to continue because it will turn people against them. nobody, no matter how loyal, likes to be ripped off.

 

Seems odd that they have done this, given that the FA Cup early rounds were a fixed price £15 and still there were low attendances. They really didn't think things through

 

We've already done this on another thread, but just to add my bit again:
It's way too expensive, and I'm not going on principle!
The last two games were so dire anyway and I can't imagine this being any different!

 

if it was the semi final i think people would think differently, but its not!

 

Yes, I just found that
Sorry, but I was away for a week with no poota access when that was first posted.

 

I am going. My son's birthday so taking him, 9 of his mates and one other parent to help out. Sticks in the craw paying £60 for the adult tickets but organising paintballing at Thetford (his second choice) was even more expensive.

 

It will be interesting to see what the attendance is and that might depend upon how many Spurs supporters turn up. As I said on the earlier thread if they get 14k at £30 they will make more than a full house paying £15 and that is how a business - which is what football is - justifies it. My Son went to the Arsenal AGM yesterday and somebody queried the price of fish and chips at nearly £14 a portion. Justification - we produce as many portions as we can and sell them all. I am a minority of one but I do not think that £30 is unreasonable and I doubt if either side will field a reserve team as they are only 3 games from a trip to Wembley.

 

most teams who compete in europe play their reserves in the semi of the league cup, so round 4 will be no different.

 

I was quite looking forward to this game, until I saw the price for a ticket - it's too much and I don't know anyone who's going. Will make do with listening on Radio Norfolk.

 

£5 for kids. Will probably be quite a lot of families.

 

2 x kids = £10
2 x adults = £60????

Throw in drinks, parking etc and your looking at around £100. To watch a second string team.

No thanks Mr Mcnally, you can shove your cup games where the sun don't shine.

Seriously though what a crock of ****, it takes the p1ss and 1950 if you can see value in that price then your right you are in definately in the minority. Just look at Mcnally's twitter feed. #FANSWELLANDTRULYFCUKEDOFF
