They've only just gone on general sale, plenty of ST holders still to buy so they can sit with none ST holder friends and family.

Thats how I See it, plus the Last Minute thoughts on weather.

I think if they wanted a sell out they should have done kids for £5 or less. £13 minimum for kids is steep (especially if you have a few...

 

That’s £66 for a four person family (plus drinks/food) on top of what is always an expensive week (half term).

 

Just depends on priorities for the club really.

Also are ticket prices not agreed between both clubs. 26k would be a decent turn out for a Friday night what did we get for the replay against the Rams for their big day out. See no reason why a strong team will not be put out

That's a factor which is well overestimated - there's barely a Leicester fan who doesn't want us to go for it this season.

 

What we're underestimating is that £20 against Sheffield United (with no disrespect intended) really isn't that great an offer to get a non-STH to turn out on a Friday night. We sold out the League Cup games you mentioned precisely because tickets were cheaper.

 

If we'd have given Sheffield United the full allocation they requested, that would have upped the gate a fair amount too - believe we've only offered them a normal league allocation?

It’s only £15 for non STH and don’t they have to offer the away team a certain percentage of the ground for FA cup matches or has that rule changed?

Dont get me wrong I’m going and I went to Fleetwood away and I really want us to go for it but the second string teams we’re seeing year in year out must come from higher up - the owners - I read the other week that the total prize money for the cup this year including runner up and losing semi finalists is only £13.5m, there’s more money to be made with a decent league position and or staying/gaining promotion to the premier league  .

I don't think there's a problem with the price but that's my opinion 

I'm going, don't get me wrong. As a season ticket holder I paid £15. But for non season ticket holders it's £20?

We only gave them 3000. TBH I'm not fussed about that because they've got the capability to bring 5/6/7k if we offered it them.

 

But I agree ticket pricing should be cheaper. It's the FA - every Leicester fan wants to win it so people will come. I don't see why it should be anything more than £10. We all know how little owners make from ticket prices anyway given how much money they are receiving from the PL and, in our case, CL recently too.

I paid £15 and I'm a STH. So it must be £20 for non STH.

 

The ruling of 15% doesn't have to happen. We've given them normal allocation of 3000 with no more. As I said above, I'm not bothered about that as they'll fill out whatever we give them.

 

We haven't put "second string teams" out this season. We went to Fleetwood with Internationals - one of which has won the European Championships with Portugal. Same applies to Peterborough, we went there with a strong first 11 too.

 

If anybody, including the owners, care about money over silverware then I despair. We should be aiming to win the FA Cup.

You may well be correct but at this moment in time they still have lots left for sale

If you look at their Offy Site, it has said Availability for non-STHs is Good which I take to mean they have lots left

To be fair to them I wouldn’t fancy the M1 on a Friday evening either! Couldn’t we just tell the Tigers to play on Friday and we have a 3:00pm kick off on Saturday?!

To right,why should a fan that goes when they want to get it for the same price as someone who goes week in week out,

its only fair loyalty gets rewarded

Well yeah, obviously. But £15 and £20, given the opposition, is too high to guarantee a sell-out on a Friday night. Knock a fiver off each and it would have been done by now.

If we get anything over 25 k that's reasonable we booked on Monday night general sale .Not bargain prices but OK .

Four of us and the other three are not regulars so a night out for them.

Manager must take this seriously
