I paid £35 for my kids ticket for the Man City game :shrug:

I agree that what we charge for kids for home tickets is ridiculous, I think the cheapest is £25(?) for a C-grade game.
Away tickets for kids are normally around a tenner. Sometimes cheaper if they have an under 10 bracket.

I paid £26 for my (adult) Arsenal ticket. Which is why I've pointed out that WEST HAM have charged just a quid less for an 8 year old

This thread is rubbish -do the maths last season I stayed at 4 away midweek due to not being able to get back on the same evening out of the 6-7 attended, this season only b/muff is a stay over , I will save bundles of cash this year due to number of local matches --- which means b/muff away in the cup is now within budget.
Everyone that's whinging about lack of tickets if like me you'd put the miles in over the last 4-5 seasons and countless others that have as well and believe me you see the same faces over and over again and I will just say I have moved my holiday by a week to accommodate this cup game ----- when and if you have shown this level of commitment that's when you can complain and that's why im going and your not !

1. The away allocation for Swansea is c2000, not 3000.

2. The club are clearly setting the first phase for away tickets such that everyone with the stated number of points could buy a ticket should they want one. Why would they set it any higher?

They wouldn't set it higher, but might set it a bit lower knowing that a certain % won't try to buy tickets.

For the games with a full 3,000 available (for comparison) we should see a gradual increase in the thresholds if the theory is right then.....

I think he was attempting to increase his chances of getting a ticket, by scaring off the less intrepid 1901'ers and less travelled fans.

Is there a difference between 1901ers and fans? What about the well traveled 1901ers, or the less intrepid fans?

There'll be at least one ticket going as I am giving this one a miss. Sounds like an awful place to watch a game. Plus there's the whole fleecing the taxpayer to pay for it thing.

Great for Athletics though

Yes. Fanatics tend to stand behind the North Goal, and chant during the game.
1901ers have the greatest ability to buy match tickets for away games.

The well travelled 1901er will have travelled to more away games than the less intrepid fan.

I would have thought that if the experience of standing throughout the game and singing from behind the goal was what someone wanted, they would have bought a North Stand season ticket, not 1901 seats.

However, quite rightly, the club place importance on supporters who are willing to commit to a 5 year season ticket at premium price, so take advantage of your points advantage, if you are not worried about getting your head kicked in down some dark alley in Stratford:lol:

There is no longer a points advantage for 1901ers - it was abolished in the new LP scheme. If 1901ers get away tickets this season it's because they attended enough away games in previous seasons to accrue sufficient LP.

I like both atmospheres - comfort and a great view at home, and a more traditional atmosphere away. Best of both worlds (imo).

FOYI !

Yep generous concessions. Perhaps it's because they don't even employ or have to pay the match day staff at the Taxpayers Stadium, so can't be sure who's getting away with concessionary tickets fraudulently.

There are very few more disgusting clubs out there, to be expected.
