Yossi, the ground holds 28,000.

The East and West stands both hold 9,000

The North and South each hold 5,000.

 

You have the South Stand, ie 5,000 tickets.

Of the remaining 23,000 capacity, 20,000 belong to season ticket holders, leaving theoretically only 3,000 for open sale. So obviously there will be season ticket holders in every other part of the ground, even if only half of them turn out for this. Why should Bolton season ticket holders move seats to give your team a better following?

 

Since when did season ticket holders have a guaranteed seat for a cup match? They could over-spill away fans into any part of the ground if they thought it'd help ticket sales.

Personally, I think we should offer the away team as many seats as they request. Get the West Stand Lower to move over to the East Stand - or up into the Upper Tiers FOC.

it's not an easy one. I'm sure you'll have s/t holders with the hump. But then again surely it's better for bolton to fill the ground rather than have loads of empty seats. you'll get more money from ticket sales, more prgramme sales, burgers etc.

I dont think itll help our fa cup campaign allowing West Ham to overspill into west/east stand, it'll demoralise the players seeing so many west ham fans and then 10 thousend Bolton fans spread out across the stadium.

I don't think there will be anywhere near 10,000 Bolton fans in the stadium.

 

Anyway, I've been on the WHU site and in the event of a replay, here's the boot in the bollox for Bolton fans:

Where did I say guaranteed?

Many season ticket holders CHOOSE to sit in their normal seats for cup games.

I don't think there will be anywhere near 10,000 Bolton fans in the stadium.

WHERE'S OUR DISCOUNT GARTY YOU ragging CONMAN???

What are you moaning at??

 

Even with discount our tickets are way more expensive than yours

This may be a good match to use it as a starting point for the club to realise that they have to stop Shitting on the fans.

 

If enough communication goes out that BWFC Fans are boycotting this match due to ticket pricing then when they are about to moan about the size of the turn out - then they already have the answer!

 

I am not saying we ask people to Boycott, just put out communications that the STs that are not intending to go are not going because of this.

WHU certainly like the cup dont they. They took similar size followings to Stretford and Sunderland one year I seem to re-call?

9,000 to OT and 6,000 to SOL.

Not just the Cup though. Took 7,000 to Wigan year before last in the league. Away support is largely very good. It's home support that can sometimes drop off. That's because our chairman proper rips us off. We'd love to be arguing over tickets that cost ??25!!

 

Our cheapest ticket is ??30. That's the worst possible view. Goes all the way up to ??53. That's proper rip off.

What are you moaning at??

 

Even with discount our tickets are way more expensive than yours

 

It's a simple point mate, if it passed you by then I apologise.

 

However, only a fool would compare prices at a football club in one of the top 10 most expensive cities in the world with one in a northern town.

Hmm...

 

Can I:

 

a) ask if you've ever been to Upton Park

 

inform you that if you haven't, E13 and the surrounding area is one of the poorest areas in London.

I,VE BEEN TO UPTON PARK A COUPLE OF TIMES - I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I HAD STEPPED INTO ANOTHER WORLD , LONDON IS BAD ENOUGH BUT THE AREA AROUND UPTON PARK IS ONE FCUCKED UP PLACE .

a) yes, but what's that got to do with the point I was making that your club offers FA Cup ticket discounts to season ticket holders when ours doesn't?

Why should we have to pay ??53 for a ticket when you only pay ??25? Just because we're "fortunate" enough to live in (a shitty part of) London? So what we get a small discount for cup games - still pay much more than you do without a discount.

The point I am making has nothing to do with you or your club.

 

I would have to pay ??25, Joe Bloggs who has never been to a bolton games before would also have to pay ??25. It's very simple, I have no idea why you keep chipping in.

You're really not very smart are you?

 

If it's nothing to with my club why did you bring my club into it to begin with? You were the one that used West Ham United ticketing policy as the basis of your argument....

Because in the FA Cup, pricing policy has to be agreed by both clubs. You are offering a discount, therefore we could have.

 

Is it that ragging complicated?

So it does have something to do with my club. Thanks for clearing that up...

Yossi, in a nutshell:

 

When your club discounts the tickets, season ticket holders pay less for that game than they do per league game.

 

When Bolton discount the prices, we all pay ??25. However a season ticket at the Reebok actually runs out at around ??24 a game, so our so-called discount is really an increase.

 

Only the casual one-off supporter is benefiting at Bolton, whereas everyone going to Upton Park is better off.

 

Hope that is much clearer for you.

I was just thinking how well behaved eveyone was reading through the thread. We'll see you all crying at the Reebok yet again. :-$

This is actually the first home match since i left uni 5 years that i'm actually contemplating not going to!

 

If the UEFA tickets are 15 quid why arent the Wet Spam ones??

There's some little shitehawk of an accountant somewhere in Fort Reebok canning himself because he hasn't done his sums right.

 

Traf posted a bit a while back about the other things buy at the match pint/pies etc that contribute to our overall 'spend'. Apart from WAYNE CRAMP most people spend a few bob at the match. This all adds to the price we fork out for the ticket

 

Even the thickos in the Wanderers marketing/accounts dept can see that the fans aren't willing or prepared to continue paying Premiership prices for cup matches.

 

TREVOR IN ACCOUNTS - TAKE NOTE OR YER PET BUDGIE GETS IT!!

You've forgotten to factor in the "maximum number of customers served per food/drink outlet per minute" value, which means that no matter how cheap the ticket prices or the crowd size, only 20 people in the ground will be able to be served during half-time.

she's right you know.

 

you could have a a full house on a saturday and a christening on a sunday and bar takings would be the same.

 

AND WHO IS THEIR RIGHT ragging MIND PAYS ??53 TO WATCH WEST HAM?

 

 

the worlds gone daft.
