Swindon Town v Colchester United Official Matchday Thread

[@mwooly63]

Nothing wrong with recognising supply & demand in the pricing structure.  But I would seriously question how much appetite there is going to be for a £27 football ticket in a town like Swindon where, on average, incomes are modest.

I know plenty that wont go now at £25 for 3rd div footie,
No chance enticing them in at £27 then 

Like to know where that would put in us respect of dearest tickets for this league

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Not sure if you are serious, but I really hate that. Of course promotion is worth it. I'd rather be in Yeovil's position that ours.

Not sure a price increase is justified, tiered pricing is stupid, but I'm not overly bothered. What will annoy me is how early the season tickets go on sale and how early the early bird price finishes - though clearly I haven't got those dates yet.

I think Sonic's post was dripping with irony - I could be wrong though.

I would really like to see us back in the Championship before I die of old age so I will gladly take promotion whenever it comes along.

£27 though - do fuck off

[sonicyouth]

no, I wasn't serious although I am certain a portion of our fans believe that.

[Only Me]

My first thoughts exactly, what a load of bollocks. £27 quid, they're having a laugh

Why focus only on the expensive ticket?
Basically if you don't want to go, don't go. There is no need to moan on here to justify your decision.

I don't believe that. People will pay the extra for the bigger matches, eg £27 to play Oxford next year

Another one that seems to think that a forum isn't for putting across an opinion

Not at all. If you have an opinion then provide your opinion on the cheaper tickets.

All I see is a reason to justify not wanting to go.

Imagine your well clued up on my circumstances

It'll be almost impossible to make up those massive four points.

Thats not my point. Historically you need between 70-75 points to make the top 6 at this level. We are currently on 45 with 15 to play. So at the very least we probably need 25 points. Id say 27-30 to be safe. That's 9 or 10 wins from last 15 and with our away form and the teams we have left to play at home I just cant see it myself.

[Frigby Daser]

£25 seems quite a barrier to break for Div 3. I'd be very surprised if others pay that much, and you have to ask why we should be charging more? Extortionate prices. Power isn't stupid. Would like to think he won't charge that.

Include that the teams in the P/O positions have games in hand, it really isn't very likely at all.

Believe it or not I DO know ppl who wont pay £25 for this div 

As we wont be playing pox be interesting who the club think is worth paying £27 to see,
This season ( using SAS ) I can do Shitty away for the same price as a ticket in the Arkells, yep travel and ticket
Yes some ppl will willingly pay extra some will draw the line somewhere

[Dr Pierre Chang]

Don't mind them charging £27.00 for the odd match - as long as the price is dropped for the less attractive fixtures. With category pricing being introduced it looks like that will be the case and that is better than £25.00 for every home match regardless of the opposition.
