Jiggers the Fox Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 Just got our tickets from the ticket office for tomorrows match, for my dad (45) my little brother (12) and me (19) they wanted close to £80. He then told the guy that he wanted a single ticket not a season ticket, the guy said that it was the right price, he then asked "is it Chelsea or f**king Bristol City who would are turning up". For a midweek game, those kind of costs will easily price a fan out of games. i just bought 5 tickets (2 adults and 3 U18s) and it came to 73 quid! Thought that was pretty decent!
ScouseFox Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 Hahaha Rovers brought 10x that Corky you're right. And regularly take more than that to games I get to up here, think they took 300+ to Oldham last year, and nearly 200 to Tranmere on a Tuesday when they were bottom of League 1. Oh to be the smaller club in Bristol ey Nicky.
Dr The Singh Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 Who knows, they might have an enormous sales spike today and this movie poster will seem very relevant. Is that Nicky Maynard, boy he looks worse for wear!!
JmorsonLCFC Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 anyone think they've forgot to put to put the extra zero after the 200???
Fox in the North Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 Is that Nicky Maynard, boy he looks worse for wear!! Bristol seems to have gone to his head, poor guy
LcFc_Smiv Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 £80 where u sitting in the box That was for Block B3 I think? Don't really sit in the West Stand unless I go with my family, like I am for Weds. He refused to pay the prices and ended up getting tickets in the corner C block, got it down to around £40. Pretty astonished if there's that much of a price difference.
Dan Posted 16 August 2011 Author Posted 16 August 2011 With the pricing structure this club has it has to get used to it. To charge people £38 to come to Bristol City at home is absolutely scandalous. Lets be honest though, you can get tickets at our ground for less than that. I do agree our pricing structure is ridiculous and due to having a season ticket I'm not really aware of these prices but reading and seeing it costs a 45, 19 and 12 year old £80 for a fixture like that, absolute joke.

Yeah you can but I have no interest of sitting in a corner now or anything like that, the days if me going football not really being able to see the other end have gone. Ive rang my Dad today for tickets where the usually sit and it's just under 75 for 2 seats (plus the usual admin fee), told him and he says don't bother, if that's 25 quid each it's 2 people sat there tomorrow supposing, instead it's no money got the club and empty seats, it's madness.
lcfcadam Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 To charge people £38 to come to Bristol City at home is absolutely scandalous. Only one section of the ground (right behind the dugouts) costs that much, and for the Bristol City game it's virtually sold out so seems sensible rather than scandalous...
Guest MattP Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 It's pretty much sold out every game because of season tickets. The few that are left don't always sell though because of the astronomical pricing.
Simmo86 Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 What a joke club. Only took 800 to Cardiff on Sunday aswell!
Raj Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 Didnt realise we were such a MASSIVE club that we can belittle fans for travelling 100 odd miles midweek to most probably lose. Get a grip lads!
danny. Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 £80 where u sitting in the box Just got 2 tickets for tomorrow (not in a box), £55 each - £110 for me and the missus, ouch! hope it's a good game
Simmo86 Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 Just got 2 tickets for tomorrow (not in a box), £55 each - £110 for me and the missus, ouch! hope it's a good game Decent seats then.........
Milans Foxes Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 To all those fans moaning about the prices and paying 80 quid for 3 tickets or whatever, I've bought 4 tickets for tomorrows game for £56. If you want to sit in the most expensive seats in the ground, you have no entitlement to complain. We're sitting in C1 where they offer the "just the ticket" prices and the prices for concessions are excellent! And the view is great, level with the penalty spot at the Kop end and if you sit high enough, you get a great view of the other end, yet on Saturday, we were still surrounded by empty seats- can't understand it! This is probably part of the reason the club don't drop the prices- why would they if the cheapest tickets in the ground don't sell yet people continue to pay the higher prices for so-called "better" seats. Would make no business sense!

HEGGSY Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 £56 for 4 adults?? What is "Just the ticket"? its a ticket scheme where the tickets are considerably less expensive in certain parts of the ground (A1/2 and C1/2) it used to run in the family stand but got moved either this year or last not too sure

Milans Foxes Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 ah ok, I've seen it on the website but never had a clue what it is, so it's just normal seats but cheaper for some reason? Yeah, they're considerably cheaper and like I say the view is as good as anywhere if you sit high up enough- think we were row EE saturday. To be fair, the 4 tickets I bought were 3 under 22's and a Senior ticket but the adult tickets are still very good value compared to sitting elsewhere.

Would make no business sense! does just the ticket run for every home game? As £14 a game is less than my ST works out. By over £100?! Edit: 'Must read ALL posts before posting'
Jalway Posted 16 August 2011 Posted 16 August 2011 Hi Bristol City fan here... Its the money for most people, i mean ill be there and doing my all to get you lot to hear us! Ha! Buts its very expensive to come to Leicester for some reason! And you can expect that figure of 200 to rise to at least 500 because its pay on the night and a LOT of city fans seem to do that!
