wattolcfc Posted 6 May 2013 Share Posted 6 May 2013 After hours of trying to book tickets online I have finally got my tickets.Now as many of you were aware it clearly states on lcfc.com that ticket prices start FROM £22 for adults.I struggled to find any other information as to how much it is for certain seats around the ground so went to book my tickets in my ST seat which I have held for years in L1 only to find out they are £33! Not only am I extremely pissed off about this but I am sure many of you will be too after queueing down at the ground for upwards of 2hrs only to find out that you have to pay more than expected. It seems the club have purposely misled fans because they know that if you are willing to queue for hours, that you will pay the extra that they are asking.Personally, after all the movement of games this season, I think the least the club could do is give the STH severely reduced prices for their loyalty, but instead I find myself paying an extra £11 plus a booking fee, for a game which will provide extra unexpected income after our recent decline.Sorry for the rant but I just wanted to warn others who may be thinking about queueing for hours down at the ticket office, only to be disappointed by having to spend more cash.

Although I wasn't certain about our prices in L1 there have been enough people posting on here, facebook and twitter who said they'd paid £33 yesterday for their L1 seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattolcfc Posted 6 May 2013 Author Share Posted 6 May 2013 The part that's misleading is the fact that, as far as I'm aware, there is nothing on lcfc.com about the price structure for each block. It also misleads those willing to stand at the ground for up to 4hrs expecting to pay £22. As for people posting the prices, I was busy yesterday so didn't have time to check on here and social media. Still think the club did this on purpose to gain an extra few pounds and not scare 'customers' away. Another 2 fingers up so STH in my opinion.

Babylon Posted 6 May 2013 Share Posted 6 May 2013 It's not misleading, it says "starts from". You are paying a premium for sitting in a more expensive part of the ground, don't like it then move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree is reads starts from but the lack of pricing on the OS is shocking and when was pricing a premium in L1? For as long as I remember, bar the family stand, it has been one of the cheapest tickets in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sit in one of the side stands, it's not cheaper than a seat behind for the goal or in a corner for example. Mine was 25 quid in SK4 which is inline with single ticket prices throughout the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foss1884 Posted 6 May 2013 Share Posted 6 May 2013 I do despair with the education system in Leicester! It quite clearly states in every form of media the club have at their disposal that the game is a GOLD fixture and prices start from £22. The pricing structure for a GOLD fixture has been at the disposal of fans via lcfc.com since July 2012 for each block of the stadium! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasturesfox Posted 6 May 2013 Share Posted 6 May 2013 I tend to agree with watto, the site does say "From". And when I saw £22 I assumed that they were offering lower price tickets to fill the stadium. I seem to remember the Cardiff first leg playoff a couple of years ago was not a sell out.

I'm sorry but you are stating the obvious though. If it says "FROM" and you don't sit in the cheapest part of the ground, then it seems fairly obvious your ticket will not be 22 quid.

But as a season ticket holder why would I ever need to check out the prices of a GOLD fixture? I do tend to agree with Watto here. I didn't expect to pay £22 but I was under the impression the tickets would be at a cheaper price to fill the ground, as the Cardiff home leg the other season wasn't a sell out.

I agree it says "from" but on the article it doesn't state that ticket prices will be 50% higher, nor would most people expect that. Well I sure didn't anyway, especially with no STH discount, considering the amount of disruption we've had this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen three or four articles stating "From". The email sent to season ticket holders stated "from" in the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
