GENERAL SALE - West Ham and Brighton

[Foxes_Trust]

A further two games are on General Sale for fans who may usually struggle to get tickets to see LCFC at the King Power. Foxes Trust and Union FS raised the issue about the non-availability of tickets for General Sale back in January. We're pleased to see that the club is making more tickets available but will continue to push for more.

 

The next two home fixtures against West Ham and Brighton have now gone on general sale. This includes the following numbers of seats being made available: 200 in East; 200 in Kop; 200 in West; 900 in Family; 100 in P&P1.

 

Tell anyone you know who may not have noticed and fancies a game.

Well done to you guys, but really any normal business would publicise the fact to sell more tickets and attract new supporters. 

 

But nope, City's admin prefer things on the lowdown.  Rely on fans spreading word of mouth on a nudge nudge, wink wink basis .... presumably in the hope of selling as few as possible and winning themselves a big fat 'told you so'

Well done to the fan groups for getting general sale, which really should be the norm.

 

That said, i daresay those that haven't been to the football in a while, will be gobsmacked at the prices being charged and decide not to bother.  That's a shame as it stops us getting new regular fans and its likely that those that do buy general sale will see it as a one off treat rather than a regular thing, given that they aren't already members or regular attendees .

 

Ive been a regular and im put off by the pricing to the extent im refusing to attend any cat a or cat b games any more.  Im just drawing the line at 50 quid for a ticket (as much out of principle as affordability for me). Cat c games and away games i can get a ticket for only, from start of this season.

 

Im really not being negative for negative sake and it is a win but the pricing is the real issue here when it comes to selling out these less glamorous games.  Im sure the fan groups are banging heads against a brick wall when they raise the issue of pricing with the club though.

I'm glad to see common sense and games going on general sale. However I'm feeling a little priced out with tickets £47 to £70

[Lako42]

Because they can't shift them via other means because it's a disgusting rip-off.

Appreciate the efforts from the fan groups, however at those prices, I’ll not bother. 
 

£51 to sit in SK3 on a Tuesday night and watch Cooperball v West Ham 😂

Some people paid that to watch the reserves at Old Trafford on a Wednesday night

I did, £41 in the seats in fact but to take my son to old Trafford as he had never been, we were regulars at Leicester until they started demanding £50 to £70

That was a disgrace them prices. Our prices for Premier League games are too though, no wonder the next generation aren't getting to watch games at the King Power when you're probably looking at cost of £100+ for a family to go watch a game of football.

Rotten pricing 

[Nolucklcfc]

I despair at those prices. It’s just sad.

To make even worse the price will increase every year despite the club trying to claim they're doing a 'price freeze' so I dread to think what the price for a match ticket will be next year.

Match tickets increase this year

Season tickets increase next year

[kyleolly]

I had season tickets for over 30 years until this season and I’m not really missing it can watch games on tv would be nice to go to the odd game but I’m not paying those prices

Or they'll sneakily do both and claim it's only season tickets!

[CrazyKopCorner]

With the per game prices they’ve lost touch with reality and our fan base. It’s pretty disgusting. 

[UniFox21]

It's gone to general sales, but STH being able to buy 2 additional tickets surely massively reduces the availability 

[Eskay]

Make no mistake.....the only reason it's on general is because they can't shift them. Don't be fooled....they haven't ring fenced them for GS or to get new fans. They aren't selling. Fans are voting their feet. The prices combined with the level of football isn't doing them any favours. 

[fox_up_north]

The costs are pretty ridiculous. Brighton - who will demolish us - at £40+ minimum. Plus petrol and something to eat puts it around £60-65, which I can't justify for one game.

 

Paid £70 last month for an all day gig 1pm-10pm.

 

A mate likened modern football supporting to gambling - there's no guarantee of winning or even being entertained, you just spend money and hope for the best.

 

I think if tickets were around £25-30, to account for the lack of entertainment, they'd get a much better atmosphere.

Drink some of the petrol. Saves money on food and the game may be a bit more interesting

"family club"

[Facecloth]

Every game should have a number of tickets available on general sales as standard. How are you meant to get new fans through the door if everyone has to either get a season ticket or pay at least £60ish for an adult and child membership before purchasing a ticket?

 

Took my nephew for the first time a few years back and thankfully he loves it, but if he hadn't, my sister paid the £60 odd for her membership and his, plus the ticket prices, that's a lot to pay out and then never use the membership again.

 

Give new fans a chance to build an relationship with the club before asking them to pay up to be a member. Once they know that it might be a regular occurrence they much more likely to stump up for a membership.

[Mike Oxlong]

It's a shit product at those prices. Someone call trading standards 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

The old "supply and demand" argument starting to fall apart at the seams isn't it. Have we sold a game out this season?

[sylofox]

This whole thread just goes to prove what a joke our owners are. No one should have to advertise games have gone to general sale.

 

Fans should be able to buy unsold tickets for every game whoever it is.

 

Anyone know of any other club that operates in this way. I thought we had business people running our club. Seems to me we have idiots and no wonder we ended up in a financial mess.

 

They don't deserve the support they get.
