ewerk 34249 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 If the club wanted they could buy every ticket on these websites and cancel the ST/membership of the cunts trying to keep proper fans out of the stadium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 24281 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 i'd rather not buy tickets from the tout websites but unless you have a ST it is sometimes the only way to get a ticket. the system is fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet is to refresh the website every day for a fortnight and hope you're fastest finger first on a spare appearing. Which is mental Expand I would guess there's little difference between what the club makes between season ticket holders and members already. say 33,000 season ticket holders paying and average of £650 = £21.45m membership price either £37 or £47 so call it £40 × 100,000 = £4m roughly 14,000 match day tickets at an average of £60 × 19 games = £16m total = £20m ok these are rough, ball park figures but I doubt they're a million mile away. a low category game has gone from £34 3 years ago to £47 now, getting on 40%, a digital.membership was £25 3 years ago, now the minimum is £37. I saw a truefaith editorial by michael martin a few weeks back bemoaning an average £3.40 per game increase on season tickets, my heart fucking bleeds for the cunt, it really does and you can guarantee exactly what the club will be thinking on receiving a complaint... don't like it? don't buy it. canny article here about @LondonBlue' man city lot.protesting a lack of increase in season ticket capacity, hat doffed to them, if the same thing happens here (which it will) in the event they expend/new stadium we'll do fuck all, because we've got the most lily livered supporter base on the planet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cx28g5dmy0vo Edited April 24 by thebrokendoll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
