Tylluan Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 For Ipswich??? A game where we could have done with 'flooding' the stadium in blue and white and creating an atmosphere, especially if we get anything out of Cardiff and Leeds, and he's thrown a Cat C at this. If we're still pointless going into this game then the walk ups will be non existent. Let's just give the local media and our idiots on social media more ammunition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this occasion I think they’re justified. If we’re top of the league playing champagne football then I just about get it. But we aren’t - and as good a start as they may have had, are Ipswich really a team you’d happily fork out £51 to watch from the South Stand at S6? I don’t know what the club are thinking on this one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Its not tempting me really Once I factor in £35 in fuel and taking 8 hours out of my day But then I have lost my mo jo for home games really - its not like the quality of either the football or atmosphere is that sparkling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelters Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I have to agree that £51 is just too much for a second tier football match, particularly one with no real importance or rivalry attached. The WTID podcast guys are managing to criticise Chansiri for Leeds’s ticket prices now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelters Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 My point really is what has it come to when our own fans are criticising our own chairman over Leeds. We’re not talking Ipswich here, or Cardiff, or Millwall. F*****g Leeds!! Some would say that’s a sign of how bad Chansiri has got, others might say it’s a sign of how blinkered some of our fans are getting with their anti-Chansiri views. Probably a bit of both. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 So basically this ticket price is to gain as much out the away fans as we can. They are currently top, doing well and given their location probably not too bad / too far to get to. Probably DC thinking be very few POTG our side in any event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got that the wrong way around. South has massive empty spaces at both ends and North always seems not far off full. (Bar the webbed off numpties bit.)

Footlikeatractionengine Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I still cannot believe the EFL have not capped ticket prices at £30 like the PL. How is it right that it costs £17 more to watch your team at Elland Road than it would do in the PL? £40 for me on the North to see us more than likely lose to fucking Ipswich? Not for me, Dejphon. I hope he's actively seeking a buyer and finds one sharpish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next generation argument … fact is we’ve had solid average attendances under DC versus about 25 before he became owner. indeed you have to go back to the late 90’s to beat 2 of the season under DC stewardship overall season average.

EBRA Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Leeds reciprocal offer arrangement is crafty PR. They have a solid season ticket base and high demand for limited number of seats. Their prices are more expensive than ours if you consider our range average (guess) Their dependencies on away fans is lower than ours due to parachute payments It costs over 1000 for a season ticket at Ipswich in one section of their ground. Their top offer never quoted. I think it’s £82 on match day. Ipswich spend profile means they have an eye on FFP - they also have huge momentum at moment. Leed’s offer is compounding the wealth gap even more with championship clubs and painting championship owners as the bad people - not that system is geared against championship owners! Now I think most we can charge Leeds fans is £45 when they come - had we done a deal and matched at £35 that’s estimated 33k less in our coffers when the 3,300 Leeds fans pitch up to us -if we can sort the Lep out and open it up to more Leeds than could mean 50k more to us as a Cub. No the eyes watered when I bought Leeds ticket and even I was annoyed we couldn’t do a deal, could of been an PR win for DC - but he’ll still be hated so also what’s the point of a one off win - he’s got P&L to protect from FFP auditors! But the fact is due to train strikes it’s no different, indeed cheaper to watch us at Leeds than Cardiff tmw all in, and had the trains been on Leeds would have been cheaper than Cardiff away.

Season ticket for the next generation were £75 in Jan I think people are just concerned at the direction of travel on pricing. I am fortunate I could afford it but having got out the loop of being a season ticket then I actually question is this value for money. Yep I would prefer being in the stadium but let's be honest the quality of football and excitement levels are hardly great to make this a must see. Part of this is me, the buzz to go has disappeared somewhat so price is not the only factor. But for others it is and if the parents don't go then the kids won't get that first taste. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 And when it comes to ticket pricing no one ever addresses the fact its to fund excessive player wages at this level.
