Happy Fox Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 De Montfort SUâ€@demontfortsu1h Tickets for Leicester City v Notts Forest can be bought for £5 from DSU!! Available from reception, these are likely to sell out so be quick Disgraceful really imo.
Corky Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 This was already known, can be done for all league matches.
lavrentis Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 Shit loads of games sell for a fiver, tickets are in G1 which is a terrible place to sit imo
Ian W LCFC Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 Shit loads of games sell for a fiver, tickets are in G1 which is a terrible place to sit imo Better than the west stand... but yeah not the best.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 Bet they're available at Stepho's too. I'm gonna buy a few
indierich06 Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 Presumably you have to show them a student card or summat? For a fiver a ticket, I wouldn't care where I sat!
svensson Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 Better than the west stand... but yeah not the best. How so? Maybe for atmosphere, not the view though.

StanSP Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 How is it disgraceful? Because it disregards season ticket holders and seemingly attracts day-trippers. Despite the fact that some non-ST prices are quite high and not everyone can afford it at any given time. £5 is a great price to get people in to the stadium. People moan about empty seats but then when offers like this are put on the table (for selected fans, I know), the club get moaned out. Lose/lose for the club. Can't please everyone, though!
Corky Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 How is it disgraceful? I suppose that Leicester fans who are students that don't attend those universities will not be able to claim tickets for that price whilst non-Leicester fans who attend there and want to see football cheaply (nothing wrong with that) can do so.
Dan Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 I find it bizarre how a Hull fan student in Leicester can get tickets for Leicester on the cheap yet a Leicester fan student in Hull can't. I'm not having a pop at them doing cheap tickets but I'd be miffed if I was a Leicester fan student.
davieG Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 I've no problem with reasonable offers but if you're a regular non-st holder having to fork out £28 to sit in G block I think you've a right to be somewhat pissed sat next to someone who probably isn't a City fan and never likely to be having got in for a fiver.
lcfcdave15 Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 That's a joke, I'm a student at uni in Huddersfield and I paid £29 to go to the Bournemouth game on the weekend! Totally unfair!
LcFc_Smiv Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 You could go watch Sheff United for free through Hallam last week, and that was on Cloughys first league game!

Too right. It is disgraceful. They do these offers to get the odd fan in who otherwise wouldn't go. Yet the regulars who want to see City play one of their biggest matches of the season get pissed all over. I mean who cares about them anyway? They'll pay regardless, there's no reason to cut them some slack. It certainly doesn't pay to be a loyal fan these days.
Leicester Lass Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 Got an FCC sub-committee meeting next week, have asked for this to be put on the agenda.
cjslcfc Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 I'm a Leicester fan student from Nottingham uni. Paid between £350 and £400 for an ST. Offers like this do get under my skin just a little bit!

Kitchandro Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 The least they could do is make them invalid for platinum matches. Platinum matches shouldn't even exist really. They only serve to make a potential full house an average attendance. They might forecast higher gate receipts from them but I can't imagine it often works out like that. We're looking at 5-6000 less people in the ground. It's absolutely insane that these businessmen want to drive away customers.

ousefox Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 Got an FCC sub-committee meeting next week, have asked for this to be put on the agenda. Cheers. They get rid of student season tickets then do this. Ridiculous. Still, I'd rather they kept them than got rid of them if that was decision that had to be made. More people in, the merrier.
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 Got an FCC sub-committee meeting next week, have asked for this to be put on the agenda. I used to work at the box office at Sheffield Students Union and we would sell student tickets for both Wednesday and United. Neither offered student tickets/prices for the Sheffield derby though. Maybe a sensible suggestion for LCFC not to offer these tickets for games of high interest?
lavrentis Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 Christ, all you got to do to get a ticket is go into the DMU shop on Mill Lane. It's in a shit area of the ground, calm down
