Exiled Girl Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Bit PC that Biff what happened to check out girls? They started employing blokes to do women's work.
jolly-olly Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 As a season ticket holder how does it benefit me reducing prices for my mates if I decide to get them a ticket.

Big E Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 As a season ticket holder how does it benefit me reducing prices for my mates if I decide to get them a ticket. because if they are great mates like me they will buy you a few pints pre match

Guest as Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 The ??5 tickets will help the gate, but the fact that Fulham & Charlton have away support as bad as Jackburns, means that there will be plenty of empty seats in the South Stand. It'd be nice to see a full Reebok again, we had no problem filling the place when we weer fighting relegation, but a lot of people (including some on this site) have just given up now. Due to the whole matchday 'experience' being so bad. Cheerleaders, fireworks, men with flags running up & down the touchline and (the one that still bothers me most) is the f??cking James Brown when we score. But you can't accuse the club of not trying, ??5 a ticket is very good value, I just hope they consider lowering the prices next season or we may manage to drop below the dreaded 20k mark.

jayjayoghani Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 have they lowered the away tickets too? it would be nice to encourage more fans to travel to the reebok to help generate an atmosphere As Premier League rules mean you must have a like for like policy on ticket prices, the cynic in me would say that the Season Ticket rule on this ??5 deal deliberately omits away fans.

YATESY Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 As Premier League rules mean you must have a like for like policy on ticket prices This was the excuse used by BWFC to explain why City fans had to pay ??36. If City had sold more tickets then they would have been allocated the 'away fans half' of the South Stand lower - which are a cheaper price. As City only took the tickets for the South Upper they had to be priced at the same as the North Upper for an "A" game = ??36. I can only assume the Police insist on the South Upper being sold first for segregation purposes. This policy though, does seem stupid for the low risk forthcoming games against Charlton and Fulham. Why not give them the Lower seating at ??21 rather than the Upper at ??29?
Pablo Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/mostpopular...poff_claims.php Surely this is bollocks. ??36 and ??39 it is when we play you their....are they just making numbers up ??

YATESY Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 Surely this is bollocks. ??36 and ??39 it is when we play you their....are they just making numbers up ?? As mentioned in my post above, BWFC are only partly to blame for this. Under FA Prem rules, away fans have to be charged the same as home fans in an equal status seat in the ground. So for a "A+" game the North Stand Upper costs an adult ??39, "A" = ??36 etc. So this is what we HAVE TO charge for the South Stand Upper seats. I suspect the FA Prem rule was brought in to prevent clubs charging away fans more than home fans, i.e. to prevent cashing in on large followings from the likes of Man Utd, Newcastle and Bolton ( !!). As often happens with these types of rules, they can end up back firing as Bolton (like all FA Prem clubs) now have their hands tied to what they can charge visiting clubs fans.
jayjayoghani Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Surely this is bollocks. ??36 and ??39 it is when we play you their....are they just making numbers up ?? I doubt they're making it up. What they say is true, but it's spinned up like a Warne leg break. Everton are probably an A+ game. Which means you'd be ??39 & ??31 for Upper & Lower Tiers.

jayjayoghani Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 And its a Monday night game!!!! Are you sure? Our website says 3pm. Apr 9th being Easter Monday. BWFC have possibly categorised it as A+ due to the Bank Holiday. The same was done for Newcastle on Boxing Day and from the club's point of view it worked. And Everton selling tickets already?

Our tickets not on sale yet, but they may go on sale 5 weeks before the game, to allow the loayalty system work. Edited January 16, 2007 by Pablo

I don't see any reason why we can't allow visiting supporters in their own clubs' membership schemes to purchase tickets at reduced rates. Other than the risk that the additional travelling support generated would be insufficient to offset the shortfall in gate receipts, obviously. Bottom line, and all that.

It would be interesting to know if all Prem clubs stick to the pricing rule as rigidly as we seem to do.
White Army Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Sorry BSA, piss off! he knows himself having played for the wanderers in the good old days that lower prices bring back the real fans who have been priced out of the game these days. Why should anyone pay ??39 a ticket when realistically we only get entertined against the big clubs, city are bigger than us but arent a big/massive club. Agreed the out of town location of the reebok doesnt help but we've got over it now and im convinced that if all games were ??20-25 adult and ??15-10 child we'd fill out most weeks, likewise every club in the League, barring pie haeds and the dingles of course!
Carlos Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 He's the biggest moaner of the lot, he needs to look up the word "irony".
SatanGreavsie Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 the whole problem with this categorisation of games is that it applies a logic that fans don't themselves apply. For example, despite it being another season in the prem, two of the games I've been to that I will remember the longest were at Walsall and Donaster. On one level that makes no sense - but when did sense ever come into it ;-))
Big_Girl_Oral_Explosion Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 is it ripping us off if it goes to pay the players/run the club? 'til player wages come down, this pricing is here to stay Easy solution. A chunk of the Sky money should be kept back to subsidise admission before it is shelled out to the clubs to pour in the pockets of agents and players. With the millions saved prices could be as low as ??10 to ??12 per game. Might be tempted to turn out for the ??5 quid games if my lazy arsed son will get me the tickets
