K1FOX Posted 29 September 2013 Author Share Posted 29 September 2013 Yeh tbf I'll probably go to this if it's £15. Then again if I was over 22 paying £20 I'd probably be disappointed it wasn't a bit cheaper. I still can't see it being a great crowd just because it's the league cup against a nothing club. If it's 20K I'll be pleasantly surprised. Looking at the picture in that article - is the Kop OAP central or what? In most part of the ground u22 is a tenner and adult is 15 mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1FOX Posted 29 September 2013 Author Share Posted 29 September 2013 It's only the 3 middle blocks of both the east and west stand which are £20 for adults, apart from that the whole kop is £15, whole family stand is 15 and K and L blocks are 15 too. Baffles me how people can still blame prices tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_LCFC Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 season ticket holders for free is a great idea for early rounds in the league cup. Leicester City, when all said and done, is a business and I fully understand why they cant do that. Putting on a game costs lot of money. How many staff is there that they have to pay? Quite a lot. Having said that, its probably better to have a full stadium with dirt cheap tickets than a half empty one with more expensive ones. Plus they would make more from food sales etc. But hey ho £15 isnt excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes1 Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 Don't the away club also have a say in the pricing of cup games if so perhaps Fulham wanted £15 per ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammie82uk Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 Don't the away club also have a say in the pricing of cup games if so perhaps Fulham wanted £15 per ticket. yeah Rule 22.1 Immediately after the draw is known the two Clubs concerned must mutually agree the prices. All questions in dispute must be immediately referred to the Management Committee for settlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnaldo Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 Will probably go down to this, can't really argue with the price. Surely there's no excuses to get a good crowd at this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1FOX Posted 29 September 2013 Author Share Posted 29 September 2013 I think we'll easily get close to 20,000 for this. Should be more tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylofox Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 Sorry, explain to me how these ticket prices are a bad thing?! It's £15 and we're hosting Premier League opposition! In our position, despite our form i.e in the Championship, £15 is a bargain to host Fulham. Please think before you post. Ticket prices cannot be blamed at all in this case for a poor attendance. Yes they can if your working on a low budget. You can only talk for yourself not every fan of the club. Praps you should take your own advice and think before you post.

Stadt Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 As great as £10 per ticket would be, I doubt we'd sell out even at that price IMO, we'd probably get 27/28k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Lass Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 season ticket holders for free is a great idea for early rounds in the league cup. If they offer STH free tickets the club still have to make up the discounted amount and include it in the game receipts to be split with the opposition. So, although it would be free to fans, it'd still cost the club say £15 x 15,000 season tickets, and that's something they can't afford to do given FFP.

StanSP Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 Yes they can if your working on a low budget. You can only talk for yourself not every fan of the club. Praps you should take your own advice and think before you post. Well £15 in comparison to what other prices have been charged for previous games is a good price. Look at the bigger picture. £15 to host a Premier League side. I get that people working on a low budget find it difficult. Would it interest you to know that I'm in the same boat? I can't afford most games but I can imagine that £15 for the majority of supporters isn't that much to pay considering who we are playing. So yes, I will take my own advice and think before I post and not jump to the easy conclusion of blaming ticket prices for a poor turnout. Standard of competition could be blamed, but in this instance, it'd be very harsh to blame the club for the ticket pricing to explain why there might be a poor attendance.

It's not just the ticket price. Transport food drinks and getting to a night game after work is not easy for everyone. So even at a fiver for the ticket they may struggle along with the extra's. My point was you telling someone to think before they post. Just because it may not apply to you dose not mean it's not relivant. Also some peoples budget may only allow them to go to certain games and they choose to go to league games. Or have bought a season ticket and can not afford extra games.

K1FOX Posted 29 September 2013 Author Share Posted 29 September 2013 The question is had we have been playing man utd at home would these people then be willing to pay the money? I think so, even if it was £25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loggy88 Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 I'm really positive about this game, I think we will win. They got relegation worries and might still have by then so they won't fancy it much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me people just prefer to moan about things, rather than actually using their noggin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praps you should take your own advice and think before you post. So what should the club charge then? £15 for a last 16 tie in a premier cup competition is really pretty good value. I hope people will attend, after all the club really could use the turnover and a win could see a real money spinning quarter final, which in our current financial position, might help balance the books.

K1FOX Posted 29 September 2013 Author Share Posted 29 September 2013 Yes your right they would. But are fullham any bigger draw than a mid table championship side. Regardless of the fact that Fulham may not be the 'big' tie everyone wants, its a last 16 tie in a competition we could go far in if we get through this and get a lucky draw. To do this the fans are needed to support the players, not support the opposition. It just strikes me as odd that people would be willing to pay more if we were playing Man utd etc. and would have a much lesser chance of progressing, rather than a pay a very decent £15 against a prem club in a tie where we have a good chance of progressing.

Corky Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 £15 is ok. It's never going to sell out, you could offer seriously cheap tickets and I doubt 32k would turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
