I agree with the prices you say,

but im completely against a non sth or member paying the same price as us

That wasn't my point. I meant it should be cheaper for both.

I know that obviously, I agree, but what I was saying is us STH to get charged £10 and then £15 for non STH, for example. 

[RODNEY FERNIO]

Quite cool that we have not sold out.

Thought this was the territory of a team that is God knows how many

points ahead in the League and a manager that is the definition of smugness,

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.

 

My understanding is that regardless of what we offered them, they could insist on a 15% allocation (4,800) as it's an FA Cup tie.

 

However the final allocation has to be green-lighted by the Safety Advisory Group (i.e. the cops), so it's possible they rejected this - although I don't know. 

 

To be honest I'd be tempted to say it's possibly the latter, because I don't see why Sheff Utd. wouldn't have asked for the bigger allocation...

Their allocation reached general sale as well, it's not like they snapped them all up immediately. 

[WilmslowFox]

Was planning to take the lad to this one, but he'll be at school on Friday, and we have a three train journey of several hours to get to Leicester.  If they'd moved it to Sunday or even Monday (half term) we would've been there.  And its not even on the telly.

 

Still, hopefully we'll be going to the quarter final instead, then the semi-final, then the final, then the Community Shield.

Love you holier than though STH folk on pricing .Plenty of us would like a season ticket but none available.So picking up tickets where we can

All support the club .Fine that you get first chance but no sure why the price should be greater?

Spot on

I'm taking the night off work for this. Cant beat a good, noisy away following. How can we expect the club to take the FA cup seriously when the fans cant even be bothered this far in.

Don’t get what the issue is it’s a perk, Why shouldn’t STHs be rewarded for loyalty? 

[Livid]

I am a STH but held back until the general sale and got 5 tickets  all at the STH price.

You can buy a membership,which will improve you chance of tickets,and also entitle you to a reduced price for tickets aswell as improve you priority,

im a sth but my son isn’t,

so I purchased a membership to improve his chances of getting a ticket,

it’s as simple as that rather than folk making excuses as to not being able to get a st

Mate, it's three or four thousand off a sellout with not brilliant pricing and a reasonably unattractive opposition on a Friday night. I think that's pretty decent. Certainly no indication our fans aren't up for the Cup.

[dynamark]

Maybe the same prices would have put another 2000 on the gate

Nothing to do with loyalty really no doubt we could sell another few thousand ST if they were available .Four of us going in the padded seats and the other three would not normally go to a match so three new customers.I usually get a ticket by going in last minute when a few get released or picking up one from a mate whos family have a bunch of tickets.

I wonder how many ST are 'owned' by folk who have passed away ?

[BrummieFOX]

There'll be a decent walk up as well I think. Good turn out all things considered. 

 

Hope we get the job done.

Ahh yes, spend £60 to get £5 off a ticket.

Or spend £60 and give yourself a better chance of getting a ticket,

if you don’t want to spend the money then don’t moan when you Carnt get a ticket,

but even when you can get a ticket you moan about the price

That's a minority though. There's absolutely no way Jonny tourist off the street should be paying the same price as a STH for a cup game. Loyalty is rewarded, like in any walk of life.

[Ian Nacho]

Don't understand the people that only go to Premier League games. Support your club in every competition, I actually enjoy cup competitions as I'm not sh*tting myself as much

 

 

[dynamark]

Its looking like we could do with another 4000 Jonny tourists in tonight.Full stadiums have to be the target surely

Bearing in mind half term maybe a better deal for the youngsters would have done the job.

However main thing is the game and the right result

[Stevosevic]

Pretty amazed we can get a full house to watch the reserves against Leeds in the LC but not this game.

They're struggling to sell the 3k mate thats why. They still had 300 tickets left on Wednesday.
