dandannieldanok Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Not a bad idea, just a shame there isn't one big fixture in there or else I would have seriously considered it.
Guest Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Not a bad idea, just a shame there isn't one big fixture in there or else I would have seriously considered it. Surely supporting the team is more important than the opposition.
DB11 Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Not a bad idea, just a shame there isn't one big fixture in there or else I would have seriously considered it. All of the games are worth going to because they are winnable
Shrenchel Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Surely supporting the team is more important than the opposition. Exactly. I go to watch Leicester not fooking Newcastle or West Brom.
Joe. Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Good idea thia actually, can't argue with the pricing sturcture. You can't blame the club for introducing so any ticket initiatives when we've consistently got 10,000+ spare seats to fill.

Joe. Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Is that because both the ST and Matchday prices are too high too start with They're probably generally in line with most other clubs to be fair. Not that I condone modern football ticket prices at all. We've not had decent attendances since 03/04, and will probably follow the same path until (if) we reach the Premiership again.
dandannieldanok Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Surely supporting the team is more important than the opposition. Obviously, but as a non-STH who goes to about 10 home games a season, I'd rather see the bigger teams than the smaller teams.
maddog Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Good idea, would cost £125 to sit in the Kop and watch those 5 matches. I would have charged £59 though so about £12 per match.
MC Prussian Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Maybe a sign of more sensible ticketing concepts to come? Do we still have some of the more expensive tickets in the league? I remember reading an article in the first issue of the FSF magazine and we were pretty high up back in 2004/05 to 2007/08, even compared to Premier League standards.

I really never seen the point in comparing us to other clubs we're not in competition with them. Tickets need to be priced to suit the Leicester market nothing else matters. There's so many different influences on clubs that comparison is pointless. For example how many other clubs at our level have the Countries top rugby team on their door step.
Fosse Boy Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Great idea. I'd buy one if I wan't away for most of the season.
samjohnson Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Thats a crazy idea But have to admit, price is good
Karljohn Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Not a bad idea at all, suits the missus as she works saturdays....and with me facing £25 a game on top of my monthly ST payment, this will be useful at £69.

As for Leicester City FC, I suppose it roughly comes down to: - Stadium maintainance costs - Wage structure - Debts Of which all three we're probably in the higher end still, hence the costlier tickets.
CosbehFox Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 I wonder what happens when a fixture moves off a Saturday because of a certain reason and ends up on a midweek night. Would this game just not be included?

Well if they are valid reasons why don't they say so instead of so and so charges more. I would have thought that the maintenance costs on a new stadium was less than an old one such as forests, and Cov actually rent theirs so their costs are completely different, maybe more or less who knows, who cares. According to a comment from knowitall our wages structure is not significantly different from Swindon. Debt is obviously a big problem. But these are all differences and that's why I believe it's irrelevant to the club and the fans what other clubs charge for their ST and Matchday tickets.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 4 September 2009 Posted 4 September 2009 Sensible idea, can see a few taking this up. This.
Nod.E Posted 5 September 2009 Posted 5 September 2009 I'd have actually done this if I didn't have training with Dynamo on Tuesdays. Gutted.
