They've made a killing out of the bottom tier the robbing bar stewards. I would think so, 400 tickets at an average of £25 = £10,000.

I think the bottom tier must hold about 2850 as the top tier has 2300 seats making a total allocation of about 5150 DerbyAleMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s too much for an adult and 12 year old. The pressure of children who think you score four away from home every time is a terrible thing. I could do with a dour 0-0 draw this time or I could be bankrupted by the end of the season. SKRam, Archied, Steve How Hard? and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreveram Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Only 67 tickets left in the bottom tier of the stand, I would think they will open up the top tier in the morning, probably one block at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would assume they have printed the tickets and delivered them to DCFC. Plus can Bolton arrange the extra stewarding at short notice. Hope so - can see another 500 shifting if the top tier opens up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were given an allocation of over 5,000 so I presume they would arrange the stewarding accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why so many times in the past we’ve had to wait for the home team to deliver them before we start selling them. Its their own bar coding system and so on - you’d need our own software compatible with their ticket system to even do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKWORTHRAM Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Part of the upper tier is now open. Looks like they're gonna open a block at a time. 5200 tickets is a massive ask for any club to sell for an away game. Especially in league one. Even taking over 3000 is some effort on the back of an away game last week in which we took 4000 fans. Prices obviously aren't great. It cost me £30 to take me and my son to Peterborough. £27 adult and £3 U12. Which you can't grumble with. Bolton is costing me £42 for us. Which I fully understand is a lot for some people. One thing though, and this is absolutely not aimed at anyone here at all. But when away memberships came out. A lot of our fans on twitter were kicking off that it wasn't fair etc (Which I kind of agree with. I personally don't think you should be able to buy an away membership if you haven't got a season ticket) and now tickets are available they aren't being snapped up. I wonder if those fans were moaning for the sake of moaning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I am a ST holder and have away membership. Not everyone can afford a season ticket or be able to make enough home games to justify one. Why should these people be disadvantaged from buying away tickets? Are you suggesting they are less of a supporter than those of us that do have season tickets?

I have an away membership and a season ticket. So if doesn't affect me it's just my opinion. Why would a person not be able to make home games? But could make away games? I just think someone who has had a season ticket for 30 plus years who may not be able to go to an away game over someone who rocks up and spends £40 on an away membership isn't fair. Some people will agree some people won't. It's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone that lives too far away to make night games may not find a season ticket viable but still goes to Saturday away games which can often be nearer than home games.

Some people will agree some people won't. It's just my opinion. I didn’t say they might not be able to make any home games, just not enough to justify a ST. What if, for example, they work (or have other commitments) every other Saturday or something like one Saturday in three? Meaning they may be able to make a certain number of home and away games but not all home games. What if they can’t afford a ST but would like to attend some home games and a sprinkling of away games? I don’t really see the argument that someone who’s had a ST for 30 plus years (that includes me by the way. My first ST was back in the 70’s) should necessary get extra priority. The benefits of having a ST are: slightly cheaper match day tickets, guaranteed same seat, guaranteed ticket for big cup ties (even if you have to relocate) and pretty much guaranteed ticket if we ever get to Wembley. That should be enough and doesn’t have to include priority for away games as well. Whilst, admittedly, it is an extra expense, if a ST holder want to buy away membership they will get priority over someone who “rocks up and spends £40 on an away membership”. This is of course dependent on how many away games attended which is a whole new debate. Should a ST holder that hasn’t been to an away game in years get priority over someone that maybe goes to loads? Sadly, there is no system that would satisfy everyone. IMO, whilst I would certainly benefit if long standing ST holders had priority, I think the current system is about as good as it can get.

Foreveram Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 Lots of clubs operate a points system, so many for a season ticket and then points awarded for matches attended, away matches or cup matches. Personally I am happy with the current system. Inverurie Ram and Tamworthram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, and all stubs have to be returned to the opposition ticket office on the day of the games, along with any unsold. rammieib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
