Tickets Too Expensive And Chelsea Reserve Team

[Jack Daniels]

As said before simply could not afford it. Buying a house, getting married and going to........hull is taking its toll.

 

[The Wookiee]

Yes, quite an impressive reserve team out today.

Exactly, don't know why people would of thought otherwise ? Just shows the respect Chelsea gave us as part of their pre season programme.

 

[Ned]

The only reason I don't regret not buying a ticket is that I am not well enough to have been there.
Didn't get one just because I wasn't that interested in watching Chelsea but did enjoy the weblink so would have been gutted to miss it if well enough.
Top performance by the lads

I don't understand why so many are moaning at the price when the Spurs game last season was the same. Surely you knew what to expect or do you have the memory of a goldfish?

 

[Gazwag]

There were empty seats despite a decreased capacity - I think that says it all about the pricing for a friendly

Yeah but that was only in WSU so much for Chelsea selling out, I couldn't see many empty seats in WSL or ESL or NS

 

[Albion Dan]

I went after the boy desperately wanted to go. I enjoyed it bit it was just a training match. I still think what I paid was a disgusting amount for a friendly.

I think you are wrong I pretty sure it was cheaper, at least my seat in the North, I think it was tiered pricing rather than the same for all

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I can't find the pricing for the Spurs game specifically but remember it was £30. Ordinary match tickets were £30 each.

whatever anyone may say the game sold out which justifies the charges

whether some people thought it wasn't good value is entirely irrelevant - every available seat sold

I think your right. East was £28 +2 for spurs. But I am sure it was tiered properly.

Honestly, I'm happy to have paid for the game, was a great day. That said, I'm also very aware that others may have been priced out of seeing it and that's a shame.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

People's budgets/priorities are all different so it's a bit of a stupid thread. I couldn't justify spending £30 on a friendly and was quite happy watching it free on a stream, whereas I didn't hesitate to get Barnsley tickets at £29 a pop for a match that actually means something. Am happy that people had a good afternoon out, but don't go preaching about the fact that you felt justified in paying £30 for the privilege. Whatever next - prawn sandwiches?

Did both teams treat it as a training game ? Looked like both teams took it seriously and wanted to win ?

 

[Silent Bob]

It sold out yesterday. There is a thread on it... If people did not attend that is a different matter.

Nonetheless if you substitute even just the official amount of Chelsea fans it's probably the lowest home attendance since Eastbourne.

I have to say that it would almost have been worth the £30 to see the looks on the faces of all the Sussex idiots with no valid affiliation to Chelsea beyond them being a successful team who attended the game today in support of that team. I wonder if any of the younger ones amongst them are now considering binning the replica Chelsea shirt and switching their allegiance to the stripes.

 

[Perkino]

Just because we beat Chelsea, doesn't make a difference to what we think of the ticket pricing. It was a silly amount for a friendly.

It was a sell-out so possibly very well priced

 

[nomoremithras4me]

Seriously?? Vicente terrorised the champions of Europe again, and again, and again. Gazing at the new East stand, our great team playing quality football against one of the best sides in the world made me very emotional, thinking back 10 years ago to the state this club was in. I'm so glad I went, it was well worth the entrance fee.

Yep, I agree. To see Buckley, Vicente, Nooney and Barnsy (yep Barnsy) running rings around four world class defenders, well worth £30 imo

 

[bennibenj]

Worth every penny.

Definately - worth every single one

 

[WATFORD zero]

I am pleased we played well, and pleased that lots of people enjoyed it. I'm happy to wait for Cardiff. (Last year i saved myself for Donny - each to their own).

 

[Mutts Nuts]

Just because 17,000 + went today, it doesn't mean that they disagree on how silly the pricing was. I'm sure it was a good day out and worth the money.

17,000 went today and did not complain we watched the team we support, please fcuk off
