Title: Bournemouth - Overcharged?
Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Wednesday, January 2, 2008, 13:51:23
Sorry - I know we have had another game since then but I just found my ticket stub for Bournemouth and its says on it the ticket price was £18

Im sure we were charged £22 each - only because I remember thinking - wow thats more than I pay for home games!  :o ?

Was it more on the day or something?

some of the stubs had £18 on and some had £22, it was a bit random, even though they all cost £22.

We couldn't buy tickets in advance for Bournemouth so only option was to purchase them on the day.  I didn't look at my stub but I think it said £21 on it.  I remember a few people saying theirs said £18 as well but not sure how!

I was charged £21 so I think you were charged about right

Thanks guys - I was just trying to work out if we had been overcharged or not but I guess we hadnt!

although I do feel £18 would have been a much fairer amount to pay - epsecially for those that went behind the goal

Yeah I think £18 would have far more reasonable.

Only thing I can think of is that they had 2 sets of tickets, 1 price for covered stand aka our Arkells/Kingswood and 1 price for behind goal/uncovered stand such as TE or Stratton Bank being the 3 quid cheaper but charged us all the same!

20 quid for our main stand... 22 for theirs.

£2 big bloody deal.

people ended up paying £21 to sit behind the goal in an open end. not particularly fair?

I concur. Hence the "main stand" bit.  :wink:

Bournemouth are skint, fair play to them if they brought in a little extra revenue.

I had to stand behind the goal but, tbh, I probably enjoyed it more because of that.

Seeing Corrs first goal directly behind the goal was brilliant.

And we could smoke at half time (Initially)

When I bought my ticket for the Barnet game, the ticket man said that we had wanted to reduce prices, but Barnet did not agree. As its a cup game, they get a share of the revenue so have a say in the pricing structure.

You'd think some kind of compromise coulod have been agreed, but never mind. I'll be going anyway

I paid £21 to get in behind goal, loved it there as allowed to stand.  The petrol down would of cost most people sharing £10 each so footys not cheap, but we do it week in week out for some silly reason.....
