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

[Bigtomfu]

I think the maximum away configuration for the ground is 4,500.

Plenty.

It'll sell out to albion fans if the price is good.

There SHOULD be no such thing and nor should there be. I don't want to be one of those clubs who don't/might not sell vast swathes of seats to home fans that could have been taken by the away team only for some jobsworth H&S twunt to say no and make us look tinpot on a national level or deny the club(s) revenue.

But get the price right - and be a daytime weekend game - and we'll have 25k albion fans at the match.

I would be happy to pay £20 if this included travel and the game is on a Saturday.

Agreed. £15 and it sells out. £20 and it will, give or take.

Let's not forget for all the Palace complaining at only getting 2,000 they barely sold out, if they did at all (they still had a handful of tickets left on the morning of the game).

 

[LowKarate]

£20 is fair to cover travel and if Sat 3pm
£15 would be needed for any evening or lunchtime

And make kids £1 (who will spend at the club shop and food outlets)

I would fully expect Coventry City to sell their full allocation, so the ticket price needs to be sensible to ensure that we have at least 15,000 home fans.

Personally I doubt if travel will be included but think £20 is sensible.

If Coventry fans don't want to give money to their club I think we should support that by only charging £5.

Nearly 8,000 of them paid "Adults - Season Ticket holders £15 / Non Season Ticket holders £17" for MK Dons, so I don't think we need to be too worried about pricing for this one.

Ridiculous suggestion how would that affect the money given to Coventry as it probably wouldnt cover expenses.

 

[redoubtable seagull]

Coventry took as many away to MK Dons (just under 8k) on Saturday as they average at home. They should bring decent numbers down particularly if it’s priced right. Should be a good atmosphere.

I think this could be a 20k plus gate so expect the ticket price will include the travel. So I’d say £20 adult ticket.

 

[chimneys]

30,500 x £15, or half full x £30. Their fans won't obsess, with most not attending at all until new owners come in, so they're not supporting the club financially at present.

8k at MK Dons says otherwise!!

 

[Official Old Man]

£20 incl travel or £15 and then put on P&R at £3 a head.
Even better, kids really cheap (one per adult) plus lots of 'money making' stalls at the ground.
And only one day for ST to book and then a free for all.

 

[ac gull]

£18 adult
£9 everyone else

Could be a sell out

 

[drew]

£10 and get it sold out. No travel included. That would be my preference, slightly selfishly!

Do what Villa did against us for a similar round a few years back - ten pounds and make a nice gesture!

Why exclude travel as that would also deter quite a few!! Sounds stupid but no hassle when it's all included, especially for those not in Brighton!

 

[golddene]

After the HOWLER in the third round, what do you consider to be a sensible Adult price for Albion v Coventry, assuming it's a Saturday 3pm and with the match ticket to include travel?

Same as for the last home round £25 with travel, very reasonable, can't wait.

 

[perseus]

£25 east/west but with concessions all around the ground for an afternoon game. £20 north and south. Travel included. Wembley priority.

Actually, I think the near pitch bit down the sides off-centre is too expensive as it is, and that should fairly be £22.

 

[neilbard]

£5 and all the beer you can drink.

 

[DavidRyder]

Whatever price will fill the stadium and create a magnificent atmosphere from both sets of fans. (I went for £15)

 

[DavidRyder]

And if they are cheap seats - no loyalty points, to avoid you know what!
