Wanderers v Coventry

[Biggish Dave]

Whichever side of the ticket pricing you fall down, now is not the time for finger pointing, we need to stick together.

Vote with your feet but slagging off a group who are trying to save us isn’t going to help. Just hope those who stay away on Saturday come back once season tickets are on sale. The club needs as many paying customers as possible in these bleak times. It will get better eventually, let’s be part of the ride

I wouldnt have thought they would but i dont know for sure. Someone called Iles a prick for saying they had a say but no one knows for sure.

If takeover is due to be completed before Saturday is it not possibke FV could have had a say in pricing? Iles might know something after all, who knows?

We don't know do we, but we do know that Iles is a pot-stirring, rabble rousing, seditious pea brain.

Why can’t they do cash on the door? Folk like my old man can’t print a ticket, he’s relying on me. Be plenty regulars like him trying to sort a way of getting a ticket 

Cash on the door, with a round £20 and £10 for kids could work / keep the queues flowing so nobody is fucking about with change. Even if it was just one stand cash on door with unreserved seating and others pre book 

Understand the upper tier piece to a certain extent but what does that bring capacity down to, 18k? Take the away end out and I imagine it will be pretty full given the sentiment from the Wycombe game. Could end up getting quite difficult booking groups together on line. I’d have thought it worthwhile opening up at least one upper tier to take the pressure off 

All this talk of raising money, will FV actually see any of it or will the unsecured creditors just get an extra £0.005 in the £1? 

Main thing is, the games on, see you all there! 

If there was pay on the day then they’d need to draft in extra staff in case extra areas needed to be open. Cash operatives can also command a higher rate than other turnstile ops. No sales on the day rules out that potential need to open extra areas (most likely in the away end than anywhere else, in fairness). 

From the point of view of your dad, the ticket office is opening late this week to allow people to buy/collect in person rather than just online so they’re trying their best to cover their bases.

Thought it was print off only 

So you can call up today and they will post them out as normal or do you need to go to the club shop in person?

Nothing being posted but you can order over the phone and collect later this week or on Saturday. Or you can buy in person from the shop.

Bolton ticket office. Unusual protocol. Printers. People in unfamiliar seating.

My spidey senses are telling me it’s about to get fuckin tasty....

The problem for the new owners, or whoever set the prices, is that Bolton home games have been incredibly cheap for season ticket holders for 20 years.

Incredibly cheap? Reasonably priced?

Spot on. Getting 3 this morning. Got to be there given overall situation.

In a fucking queue to change my password on Bolton Ticketing Website haha it's laughable how bad it is, bet someone is pedalling a bike to make the servers run quicker with our current knock backs

For championship and premier League football I'd say incredibly cheap.

 

Always been teams one/two leagues below us with more expensive STs.

 

Match day prices have been expensive though

[desperado]

Possibly revising?

🎟️ Club Statement

 

Please be assured Saturday’s Sky Bet League One game against @Coventry_City  is going ahead.

 

Due to very recent developments we have decided to suspend ticket sales programmed for 9am this morning and will be updating this status as soon as possible.

Because the club's website is shite that's why it can't handle capacity of people trying to buy tickets.

Have been sat in that queue to do the same then suddenly logged me in automatically but showing no events to buy for. 

[Leyther_Matt]

Straight in with no queue and then saw the statement. D’oh.

Suspended ticket sales at the moment, season ticket holders from the previous season should have priority first to lower the number of people trying to get tickets at the same time

It’s all a bit Mickey Mouse

not if  a takeover has happened......

[Guest]

They are lowering prices - why couldn't they just bloody say that though. Ticket sales suspended whilst we re-consider pricing! 

[W.cramp]

Iles will be along soon with his 'spoke to club insider not directly involved with fv,  another twist occurs'         resulting in selling 7 more b.e.n

It hasn't. 

[Leyther_Matt]

- Calling people's bluff and changing it to a fiver

- Takeover has gone through so trying to get season tickets on sale

- The price has changed to £50 with Lofty vs Crusty the Pie taking top billing
