I appreciate its a way of the club generating revenue which they don't have to share - but its a bit of a con. A 10% uplift on the price. So basically £11 to go to Derby v Grimsby - I'm not actually convinced its worth the money! Derby are probably restricted by some kind of rule which states an adult minimum price is a tenner, but its a little disappointing. I'd like to see adult prices being a fiver as well! It's no different to booking a concert or play via Ticketmaster for example. Some of the additional fees for concerts are outrageous. I think our ticketing platform is run by Seatgeek? The £1 is probably their cut. Edited August 24, 2022 by DenbyRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think £10 is good value, though I do agree about the £1 for printing it ourselves. Alfreton charge £15 for adults, that's non-league. I understand your point but I don't go the cinema every week.... Or maybe at least something like a £5 fee for ST holders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point - I'm not sure they would take that much but possibly half of it for each booking made. I think the other point certainly for Cup Games is that its non shared revenue. I also think £2 for postage when a first class stamp is £0.95 is a little wrong as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially thought post cost high, but tbf it is packaging and postage costs ...costs are incurred by the club in terms of ‘manhours’ preparing envelopes, inserting tickets etc etc Rev and Tamworthram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Git Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Anyone know why the gap between 5+ and 'ordinary' away members is only 24 hours (but all others remain at 48 hrs)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, what do these employees do the rest of the time or in summer months when there are no tickets to insert into an envelope? Ultimately - its a business decision on risk - will we lose any fans because its £2 instead of £1 and the answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
