[Albion] What's a SENSIBLE price (including travel) for the Coventry Cup tie?

[Magic Sponge]

I'd be happy to pay £20

 

[Frankie]

Why would it be any cheaper than the 3rd round tie v Palace ? the club set the bar @ £25 for the 3rd round , this is the 5th round .

 

[Trigger]

15 English pounds.

Opposition, like how the cat A to C's are done for league matches at different prices.

 

[Seagull1989]

£40 so its empty and like a training match behind closed doors . The players don't feel under pressure as there is no one there and coast into the quarter finals

I think there were people suggesting that the club weren't overly keen to fill for the Palace game, because of the previous trouble. So £25, and only people with a previous purchase history - which ruled out the chance for first timers to come along. Whether that's all true I'll never know.

because we're playing a league two team and the attendance for that game was shit

Because the club believed that it being a derby there would be high demand at the price level they set. They were wrong.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

£30 adults and £10 kids, you'll get 18-20,000 ish at the game, drop it to £10 and you'll get 25,000 at the game, higher price, greater revenue less costs as some parts remain closed. It's all in the maths!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Twenty quid

 

[Is it PotG?]

A Bobby Moore inc. travel.

Should get a good turn out.

 

[jcdenton08]

Depends how seriously we're taking the competition.

 

[father_and_son]

Would accept £25 for adults as top rate but if it is an afternoon KO on Sat or Sun (can't see us being a TV priority) then how about kids for £1? (max 3 per adult say)

 

[brakespear]

I can't go very often due to the cost so cheap tickets would be nice Never really worked out how to take advantage of the inclusive travel though, do you just show your match ticket instead of a travel ticket?

 

[B.W.]

£20... not a penny more...

This.

Not this.

Imo.

Yes. Just show it on the bus and/or at the station.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

£20 inc travel, £10 concessions.

(By the way, what a MAGNIFICENT market research resource this site is for the club...)

£25, depending on the attendance, makes it profitable day for the clubs, but will dent the numbers.

Whereas £20 will generate a huge attendance and due to that, will give surplus revenue for the clubs.

The club are taking £135m this year. Not a lot to ask for low pricing for a one off FAC tie, especially after the over priced and low attendance Palace tie.

Feel that the important part, given the low attendance of STH for the palace game, will be bringing 'new' fans to a game. Hence the desire for £1 concession tickets. Give a chance for some new people to watch a home game, get hooked and become STH further down the line.
