For me, it's less about increasing uptake and more about making Leicester games more affordable to more people. Although cheaper prices would certainly drive more demand. FA Cup pricing was OK but again, could be better if being picky. It seems a lot of STH's didn't bother. If it was £10 rather than £18 for STH's, would we have sold out? Hard to say for definite but I think we would. The other thing is that we were "lucky" it was Birmingham and not Hull as prices would have been the same but attendance would have been probably 5k less. Still much better value for families/groups attending than a league game for sure.

If we are reliant on money from those tickets then as a club we are badly run, commercially. You would be annoyed if your employer halved your wages to make more profit. Just because it makes commercial sense, doesn't mean it's right. Let's assume 5,000 tickets every game are available to buy. Multiplied by 19 (going off PL). Assuming every game sells out (which it should in the PL), we are at 95,000 ticket sales for the season. If we assume an average reduction of £10 per ticket, that's roughly £1M gap. What's our wage bill? Pretty sure £1M barely scrapes the edges over the season. How about we reduce our wage bill slightly and don't give out ridiculous contracts and be a bit more sensible with transfer business? The latter will not be such a big deal but saving £10 off a match ticket can make a huge difference to individuals. I see what you are saying, but it's a lazy excuse and simply money making at all costs. It increases the affordability divide in the fanbase and those at the bottom suffer.

Yes, you can move your ST into any available seats for any game as a one off. If the ticket office don't have a clue, once again, Jim is your man to sort that. It was something he brought up in a meeting over the summer.

This sounds wrong...

Also, that highlighted part, was it the club not offering you many seats in there or was it the fact the seats were much further back or something?

As above, there is definitely space (for now at least). Another poster a page back managed to get sorted but I did send him Jim's way. The ticket office don't seem quite as switched on when it comes to relocations. So if you want to move for the rest of the season, get in touch with Jim and he can help you.

That is ridiculous pricing. A ST works out OK for the cheaper areas. I think mine comes in around £19 a game. However, on a match by match basis, my ticket would be between £36-39 which is almost double. On top of possibly membership fees which depending how many games a person goes could easily be between £2-5 on top. So a non-STH could be looking at match ticket prices of £38-£44 for the cheaper tickets. Match ticket prices should be reduced by at least 25% for members. You could have something like this based on my example: £19 a game for STH (average) £28 a game for members £32 a game for non-members That way it gives members a discount over those without membership (currently the membership gives no monetary benefit).

Hopefully, this will not be happening going forward. Games where tickets are available should be made public.

Ticket prices (match by match) need to be reduced dramatically.

I strongly suggest those people who don't get excited by going to watch us simply give up their ST's. If I was paying £100's for something I don't enjoy I should be questioning my life decisions. If you can't support your team in good and bad, then don't bother. Glory fans can go to one of the more successful clubs.

My suggestion would be to get in touch with Jim directly. In various meetings with the club we have been told there is space to relocate in (and looking at availability when it goes on members sale, there seem to be enough spots to move into).

Yes

M1 was on sale last week but they have taken it off. As a post above mentions, there are thousands of empty seats throughout the stadium (ticket resale I would imagine) and they are likely selling them first (no way they all sell anyway). In fact, with the game having only just gone on sale, It is likely that loads of tickets simply haven't been snapped up by members.

2,150 I have read

This will be a real test to see where we are at for the PL.

Always said Robert Huth should get a statue

Yunus has to start, he has that X factor.

Sure you've had plenty of quotes on this but here is another. General sale is not just about selling out remaining seats, the main purpose is to enable fans who cannot usually attend matches to get their foot in the door. I know at least 2 people who made use of this. So that's a win. The fact it didn't sell out is not the problem of general sale, it's the fact so many STH's and members couldn't be bothered or simply didn't want to spend more money (whatever the reason).

Thought it was very good yesterday. As many have alluded to, a big factor is fresh faces and not all the usual STH's. It shows there is potential. All those who moved in yesterday and have talked about relocating, it can be done immediately. ST's can be moved during a season, not just during relocation periods in the off season. This is the only way atmosphere has a chance of improving for league games. Fantastic day yesterday

On right now

FYI, you could move your ST into the section if you wanted. Even now mid season. See how you get on this weekend but hopefully you will have a good time!

Taking mine to his first match on Saturday, he is 7 next week. I don't think I would really take them if they were much younger but each to their own. Many factors that come into play. However, with going through the turnstile, I would suggest you ask a steward to help or at least just keep close by. You could try both going through the turnstile at once or alternatively, risk scanning the first ticket and putting your kid through first, then scanning the second ticket and getting yourself through. Maybe email the club and ask for guidance? They might send you to an alternative gated entrance to make it easier.

Fair enough. I would keep checking back closer to each league game then. Pretty sure I have seen seats in there for every match so far but they get added late. Nothing for Swansea yet which is only 5 days away

Birmingham will be good to sample as it's about a third of the normal price.
