Leicester City v Blackburn - 28th February 19:30

[westernpark]

It shouldn’t reach a good attendance. Pricing is poor, demonstrated by Blackburn subsiding their fans.

[lcfc278]

I think we'll hit 27-28K.

 

I imagine there's a lot of fans who don't have or haven't renewed memberships this year, who for them this will be the first game they can go to this season when it hits general sale.

No chance. Used to get more than that in the championship 

[goose2010]

Not surprised with the ticket sales to be fair. 

 

Crap pricing, mid week game, people are skint and its a championship opponent. 

 

Anywhere near 25k would be impressive.

It looks like this season in the cups it has changed from both teams agreeing on the prices to it now being the home team that decides.

Club charging away fans this much too in turn allows them to charge us more when we go away.

So shit that they’ve moved the Fifth Round to midweek

I'm pretty sad, so thought I'd compare our prices to those of other clubs:

 

Stoke vs Brighton

STH £12 Non-STH £15

 

Fulham vs Leeds  

£40 (Matchday £45) 

 

Bristol City vs Man City

£30-£48 

 

Southampton vs Grimsby

STH £15 Non-STH £17.50

 

Burnley vs Fleetwood

£15

 

Sheffield United vs Tottenham 

£30

 

Man Utd vs West Ham

West Ham seem to be charged £46, Man Utd STH are forced to purchase tickets as always

 

So on the face of it... football is ****ed and there will be many, many empty seats at some of the games.

Stoke, Burnley and Southampton are pretty good (although I feel the latter two could be even cheaper based on opposition).

 

Sheff Utd and Bristol you can understand it's a money spinner for them but not great on the fans that go every week. I think £25 is enough.

 

Fulham, well...what is there to say!

 

Man U is ridiculous if that is the price.

 

The FA should cap ticket prices at £25. Maybe even have different caps for different clubs/rounds. A PL club should never charge more than £20-25.

If we would have charged £10 for STH's, £12 members and £15 GS, we would have filled the place. What's more important, an extra few £1,000 or a full ground which hopefully backs the team to perform well?

This is an issue also regardless of pricing.

Exactly and surely that’s more important than the empty seats. Trouble is with the ground expansion going forward, surely they would have to think more sensible should they want to fill it regularly..

That’s pretty much the amount Blackburn fans are paying!

Would be great to get people down, that don't normaly go, missing a trick here.

What's the deal if I grab a couple of tickets for my grandparents as a little present for their golden anniversary? Neither use a smartphone.

 

So at a guess I'd just run down to the ticket office and request them to be printed. No fuss

My dad doesn't have a smart phone, he rang the ticket office, they're going to post them to him.

Can you not use the same phone? I've got one for someone who similarly doesn't have a smartphone.

Yes, if you're going with someone who has a smartphone, you get the email link sent to them & then download it to one phone, like I've done for me & my lad. But if you're going alone like my dad you have no choice to get a paper ticket if you've not got a smartphone.

Has anyone who’s asked for paper tickets got theirs yet?

Yeah but it did seem to take longer than usual.

Thanks mate, there's only 15,000 left so it's a good job you reminded me or I might not have got two together.
