the_mighty_bosh Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Normal prices? Looks like we'll go out with a whimper in front of a half-full stadium then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laticsrblue Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Normal prices are totally understandable as it's not on telly. Why let 3K+ Wolves fans in for less, when they would come anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Not suprised its full whack if we get a replay club will want to make a decent amount of dish and want Wolves to charge normal prices I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Howarth Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 be more wolves than oldham at this, can see a very depressing afternoon at BP on the horizon next saturday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Wolves will struggle to fill the big bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Stupid prices. Why do so many people think they will bring over 3000? I dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It's the FA Cup. £5 cheaper than our last game at home in the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 They took just shy of 5k to Preston. 4,500 to Vale. 2,250 to Bristol. 1,593 to Shrewsbury. 2,228 to Colchester. Not sure how those figures compare to a sell out of away tickets but they can't be far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 £10 a pop and you'd have 5000 pissed up Wolves fans there causing havoc. At least it's not all ticket which I thought it might end up being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 One for the Stattos. Since the Lookers got knocked down, what is our record like when the RRE was away fans only? Can only remember beating Huddersfield and MK Dons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) With Notts county in the week asking fans for £30 in 4 days is a lot, especially when its the first round of the FA cup. I'm probably gunna go to Wolves game, but if it ends up as an either/or - I'll be at the county game.

al_bro Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Normal prices? Looks like we'll go out with a whimper in front of a half-full stadium then. It will be at least 2/3 full if our latest 3500 turn up + the 3000 or more from Wolves..Drop to £10 and it's not possible to double the gate to get the same money in because of the stadiums capacity. Drop to £15 and we would need a full house to get the same money in, Anything less than £20 and we would lose money, and we would need to make it all ticket.

HarryBosch Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I don't understand why anyone thinks it should be any less than the price of a normal league match. When it is a league match later this season it will probably be the biggest one in terms of attendance and the most likely to be a very good game.

Much as I welcome any discount, this isn't one to cut prices for. If it had been Hartlepool or Biggleswade or whatever, yes. Wolves, no.

rudemedic Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 If we get more than 5,334 in at £20 we will make more money than we could possibly make selling them at £10, which is the minimum you can charge. If we get 7,979 in at £20 we will make more money than we could possibly make at £15. But you need to consider that Wolves can only bring 4,500 maximum and so if they bring that at £20 (unlikely but I can see them bringing 3,000) I doubt the difference in price will make that much of a difference to our support. Plus our record when we have reduced the prices is far from stellar, in fact its awful ever since the freebie game. However, our record when we charged £25 is P2 W1 D1, against better opposition than Wolves. The FA cup is about making money, the best way for us to make money for this game is to have it full price. I understand financial constraints have an significance, and if ST holders want to watch then they have to pay £20 like everyone else, but no-one is forcing you to watch the game and certainly for the past few games you have been able to watch for free.

I reckon you've put much more thought into it than the club. Proper game, proper price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it; the phone call between the clubs should have taken longer than 5 minutes surely. Oh wait...
