The bubble has well and truly burst this season due to prices, shit atmosphere and glory hunters fucking off. The bubble hasn’t burst, but demand over the last couple of months has definitely dropped off from the peak. For a variety of reasons, including the ones you mention.

For what it’s worth, on the same day we first saw plenty of tickets available come up on resale, other clubs also had the same issue, including Leeds who’s ticket demand is possibly more than ours. Man Utd had plenty of tickets available in the build up to our game for days beforehand. I know because my step brother was able to get his Man Utd supporting girlfriend a few tickets. They were even offering to get me some tickets. It’s not unique to us at this time of year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Yeah the demand has levelled off a bit but it's not hard to see why. Six home games in January is nuts, felt like they were quite regular before Christmas as well. Regularly throwing £55+ at a ticket in this financial climate and in the NE is clearly gonna be a challenge for many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Ticketing question: If I am a STH and I transfer my season ticket seat to a friend for a match, can I then attempt to get another ticket for the same match in my name as if I was a member essentially?

Other than being able to get a seat next to the original ST seat, no. And even then, depending on the age of the child, you wouldn’t be allowed to just buy the single child ticket.

If you’ve been to the previous rounds it’s unlikely to make any difference, so you may as well get the money back for the ticket (unless there’s a chance you might make it obviously). The only negative impact on final tickets would likely be you being in Pot 2 instead of Pot 1. *obviously unless they decided to do something completely radical with any final allocation, but that would be extremely unlikely IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, yes, I should have said it depends whether you’re a ST holder in the cup scheme or not (had made the assumption you were, but obviously that could be wrong). Although, either way, it’s probably unlikely to make a massive difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re a member the club don’t give a fuck about how many cup games you go to or don’t go to and your chances of a cup final ticket are minuscule. You could also unofficially sell your ticket to a friend and just forward it by email to them. If you’ve got an ST and have been to some cup games prior to the semi and miss next week, then you’ll still get a very good shot at getting a cup final ticket, if we get there. Assuming they don’t change the criteria, obvz. Edited January 6 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si67 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Strange one - despite having nearly doubled my loyalty points I am having less success in getting away tickets this season. Wouldn’t be too bad but those games I have been to there have been a significant number of empty seats (West Ham, Brighton, Burnley all examples).

I’m assuming you’re on relatively low points if you’ve managed to double them? What games did you get to last season, as off the top of my head I can’t remember many going particularly low? The upcoming semi at Man City should be 5k+ allocation, so that’ll be a good chance for folk with lower points to get to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just fans choosing to stand with their mates. Also because of the way the points system works you’ll not really catch up to the threshold as each game the regulars are gaining a point every away game.

bobbydazzla Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Didn't want this to get lost in the match thread, but I just looked at my account and for the 23/24 match against Arsenal (top tier game) the prices were: £43 - East Stand £41 - Leazers Tonight those same seats are: £72 - East Stand £54 - Leazers Don't worry about getting your Casio calculators out, because I've done the sums and that's 25% price increase for the Leazers and 40% price increase for the East Stand. And the stands themselves haven't been improved. They're the same as they were two seasons ago. Edited January 7 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only really been looking at the increases in the prices of the cheapest seats, which are bad enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
