I also think one thing that may put people off this, apart from the ticket price is how Gus sees the game.

If we are up the league challenging for playoffs, is he going to put out a full first team?.....if he is not then I think charging a full price is a bit much ( and Gus has form here I seem to recall) to see a reserve side

Sorry, the prices are a piss take - Tkts should have started at £20 in the North Std - now we wont fill the ground and will be lucky to get 20K - Joke!

One way or another, this thread is destined for a big bounce at 12.30 on the 5th Jan when we'll see just how many are in their seats (or, in some cases, standing in front of them).

One of the reasons the Albion will get paid by the tv company is to offset any attendance losses. I will be surprised if they get over 20,000. So if they are 7000 punters short, they will lose a potential £210,000 ish. I won't be going due to cost of 2 tickets, time and the opportunity to watch a match in peace without the inane comments of the idiot who sits behind me in ESL.

Gus always sees a game against Premier league opposition as a chance to see how his team compares to a top division side.

You never know, he might not be going to avoid the miserable git that sits in front of him.

Being live on TV, it will good to see and hear the stadium and game on TV for a change, in the warm of home.

The club's pricing has failed to take this competition into account, or that Newcastle simply aren't the draw of say ManU, LFC, Arsenal.

Not bothered. Just saved some hard-earned money.

Don't both clubs have to agree ticket prices for FA cup games, as revenue is split? Also did anyone expect any less than full match day prices, based on the opposition ?

The same moaners, that moaned Chelsea would be 'empty' no doubt. Some people have a real shock if we ever get to the Premiership.

Not really a shock, as it will be the Premiership not the FA Cup. I'm out at that price!

Then sit in the £28 seats, seeing as loads on here apparently aren't going, there should be plenty to go around !!

£28 is a reasonable price I think.

£30 you forgot the booking fee

Only 800 tickets left. Looks like Barber and the Club have got this bang on.

Lucky to get 20k?? Whose the joke??

Im going, with my daughter, usual seats in the family stand for this one (prices are £29 & U10 £4). It is each to their own, I have chosen to purchase these tickets but for example couldnt afford to go to many away matches with the cost of ticket, travel, food etc. Some fans cant afford season tickets so do occassional match tickets. Some cannot afford at all so listen to the radio etc.

am I missing something?

why would they reduce prices for an attractive cup tie that will doubtless sell out?

Pretty sure the same conversation happened last year. :rolleyes: It'll be full. Those are the standard prices.

Don't understand why people are so shocked about this? They're the same prices as a home game v Barnsley. Also the same prices as Newcastle the same time last year and Chelsea at home this year. It will sell out.

Guessing the Geordies are taking a 3000 allocation to include half the south, SE corner and the 2 ESL blocks (S1A and S1B) as there is no mention of ESL ofr home fans.

It will be a sell out

Price is only what people are prepared to pay. If you think it's too much, then don't buy one. If everyone thinks its too much then the ground will be empty and they'll have to reduce the prices next time. Lesson learnt.

I suspect it will be full though.

Ah.
