FAILURE.   

 

 

Honestly at this stage it's starting to look like user error to me. Do you have a younger person in your life who can sit with you throughout the process?

my 100% failure rate in this season's ballot continues 

 

penultimate game in what'll be a 25 home game season. making the wild assumption that I don't get one for everton either, I'll have applied for every one and got 2, a success rate of 8%

effectively adding another £18.50 on top of a £50 ticket.

The club readily admit that if you apply for every home game you will win 2-3 on average. Your best bet is to refresh the website every day for a fortnight and hope you're fastest finger first on a spare appearing. Which is mental

I’ve managed 5 - Brentford, AFC Wimbledon, Wolves, Fulham and Palace. I think I’ve very much had beginners luck with it though - as as a disproportionate amount of mid-week matches.

The real scumbags though are the people who pay the touts that sort of money, eh?

don't hate the player. 

 

and no, i'm not paying that much.

If the club wanted they could buy every ticket on these websites and cancel the ST/membership of the cunts trying to keep proper fans out of the stadium.

[Dr Gloom 24232]

i'd rather not buy tickets from the tout websites but unless you have a ST it is sometimes the only way to get a ticket. the system is fucked.

I would guess there's little difference between what the club makes between season  ticket holders and members already.

say 33,000 season ticket holders paying and average of £650 = £21.45m

membership price either £37 or £47 so call it £40 × 100,000 = £4m

roughly 14,000 match day tickets at an average of £60 × 19 games = £16m

total = £20m

ok these are rough, ball park figures but I doubt they're a million mile away.

a low category game has gone from £34 3 years ago to £47 now, getting on 40%, a digital.membership was £25 3 years ago, now the minimum is £37.

I saw a truefaith editorial by michael martin a few weeks back bemoaning an average £3.40 per game increase on season tickets, my heart fucking bleeds for the cunt, it really does and you can guarantee exactly what the club will be thinking on receiving a complaint... don't like it? don't buy it.

canny article here about @LondonBlue' man city lot.protesting a lack of increase in season ticket capacity, hat doffed to them, if the same thing happens here (which it will) in the event they expend/new stadium we'll do fuck all, because we've got the most lily livered supporter base on the planet.
