Yeovil Ticket Prices

[wewantourdarbyback]

Totally disgraceful decision in my opinion, we're turning into a joke of a football club !!
!

Never mind the fact that prices or FA cup ties must be agreed upon between both clubs.

I'll turn up to this one and pay my £17 because its the FA Cup, I don't want to miss an FA Cup tie - just means I now won't go to one of the other games I was going to go to at NP (probably the Luton one).

You'll probably get far more enjoyment out of the Cup game anyway Pigman ;)

One question, if you're a season ticket holder and NOT a Trust member you'll be asked to pay £17 I presume??? THAT is even more of a joke than the stupid pricing for the rest of us.

You and Bob could always sign up for the mascot package at £30 for the two :lol: :lol: ;)

[Pigman]

If that is the case then why aren't Yeovil charging £17 all areas if there is a replay?? I guess because they're a League club so the stupid rules don't apply, but surely as this is the FA Cup the same applies for us????? Anyone know??

Surely if we're so right and think that £17 is such a fair price then we'd hold out for that wouldn't we?? I know both clubs need to agree prices in the FA Cup, thats why I'm so disgusted by this. If we charge home fans £17 to stand at NP, why aren't they going to be charged £17 at Yeovil in a potential replay? Just curious thats all !!

I accept I'm in a minority on this, no-one else seems to be bothered about ticket prices, I guess it affects too few people who stand - I'd be interested to hear the reaction from any non-Trust Season Ticket Holders if there is such a beast !!

I do think we've turned into a joke of a football club, which is probably why we've lost certain key personnel behind the scenes and a number of supporters and probably will continue to do so - rant over !!

Good idea - I like your thinking, keep those good ideas coming ;)

I was thinking of a tunnel......................

These discussions seem to be getting increasingly "De Banke focussed" - let's not forget we do have supporters who pay their money to sit at Nene Park - and who won't be paying £7 more than they would in a replay.

Nobody seems to have mentioned you are liable to get pretty wet on the terrace at Yeovil.

We'd only need the section of seats they give to away fans if a replay were needed Tony - £15 for a seat remember - £2 less than we charge to stand - a bargain !! Chances are if they sit at NP, they'll sit at Yeovil !!

Thats why this debate is more PDB focused, the fact that standing fans, who get an inferior view and a generally inferior product (as demonstrated by the prices charged at all grounds higher than the Conference where places behind the goal are always cheaper than those along the touchline), are being asked to pay £7 more at NP than they will be in a replay - fans in seats at NP will pay £2 less for a seat at Yeovil.

Its the principle of the thing for me, its unfair and I will never agree to unfairness either here, or in life in general !!

Maybe - but if you turned up as an away fan with your readies at Huish Park on a normal league matchday you'd pay £17 to stand on an open terrace. You could get a (covered) seat in certain areas at Huish Park for that price as a home fan.

Some on here are quite impressionable, so I think it essential to clarify these numbers.

I take your marketing-related points - but we aren't going to have many home games in the FA Cup this season - games where we do get the chance to make monies to fill gaps in the revenue - and I've asked for a couple of points to be clarified by the club. Remember though the hassle we had with a game against AFC Bournemouth when we tried a creative pricing policy.

[Pigman]

When you ask them those questions Tony, couldn't ask them to publish the BSP's Ticketing Directive could you? My requests appear to have fallen on deaf ears.

You mention £17 to stand at Yeovil at a League game - they are 2 leagues above us remember?? Plus, if you buy it before the day of the game its only £15 !!

I am a non-trust, season ticket holder on the PDB, the only difference is I am student so is not quite as steep.

Personally I think that the ticket prices are ridiculous but if I didn't have a season ticket, I would just join the trust.

Before the FA cup the only time where the prices have affected me is if I ever bring my mates to a game. For me I find it quite embarrasing that for a student it's £12 and an adult is £17, to watch for example, R&DFC v Histon, when it costs similar to watch, Cobblers, Posh or whoever, in the leagues above.

I will be coming to the FA Cup game, and I know 5 others in the same boat as me, who have season tickets but will be paying this price for this one game, and tbh I don't think any of us are too cheesed off about it, but I think if it was less attractive opposition for example, or a trophy game, I would consider not coming.
