Season Tickets 2025/26

Category A then … for the mighty Birmingham.

Obviously they expect them to fetch plenty so it’s priced as that, feck trying to attract a good home turnout for the opening Ewood fixture.

Every week there is a new low! 

Venkys Out

Since when have Birmingham City been more than a Cat C?

It's obvious what the tactic is here. Fleece the expected large away following, but sod trying to attract any home support.

They are not fit for purpose.

We could always let them wear their home strip as well to make them feel even more at home, whilst we wear one of our alternate strips in the hope of flogging a few more of those.

They've also brought in premium pricing in the centre section of the DE i think, maybe just the upper tier.

Now that's something i kind of agree with, if you can fleece a huge away support then fair enough but if you're doing it on the back of fleecing the few home fans as well then it's pathetic.

Unless they come up with a ticket deal in the opposite end to cover charging big for single tickets in the DE then it'll fall flat on its face.

Are they now actively trying to kill off the BBE ?

[Doogs]

Have to agree. Far to expensive.

[Mattyblue]

Up to £35 to £37 (or £38 to £40 if you actually had the temerity of buying it from the ticket office) for a second division game, against Birmingham.

£32 for a senior in the Blackburn end if you pay on the day

[Polky]

Scumbags.

[Mattyblue]

Not sure it's just pay on the day now, if you are an older fan that wanted to buy one in the ticket office at any time you'd be charged a premium to do so.

[StHelensRover]

All very well fleecing travelling Birmingham fans who will obviously bring a large crowd having the promotion bounce. Problem is that Rovers will probably get charged a reciprocal price for the reverse fixture. I won't be paying £33+ to go to St Andrews, many others won't either. Meaning we'll be backed by about 400 die hards for a fixture only 2hrs away from home. Coz that's what football is all about, rinsing travelling fans 👌

[Tomphil2]

Virtually guaranteed 10/11k home turnouts now for a few games at least.

Seems to be what these lot want though.

Birmingham City..the original BIG CLUB™ (but won fook all!)

[JHRover]

The club's focus and priority comes into clear view with this latest act

All the focus and concern at decision making level is around the opposition and more importantly how much cash can be extracted from their fans.

The impact on Rovers and Rovers fans and absolute irrelevance, £35 a time in the away end so the same behind the goals in the BBE.

Like it or lump it.

No discount scheme or members prices either which many others offer to give home fans reduced rates whilst still getting the away support cash 

What next. Wrexham possibly Category A* for the tourists.

Just ridiculous and an opportunity for a decent home crowd first game of the season wasted. They'll be happy though because they can profit from Birmingham's promotion and feel good factor

This is it for me, the 1875 membership would have been perfect for this.

Pay a £30 yearly fee or whatever and get x amount off each ticket you buy over the season, can charge the away fans what they want then.

As we have known long before now, nobody is interested in growing the fanbase here.

We're a huge inconvenience to them.

We try the membership scheme but offer perks that most people aren't really arsed about or don't actually need, but actually offering a serious saving on tickets would be a clear incentive and probably lead to significant increased membership sales, as opposed to the pathetic numbers sold previously.

As ever with this lot it's the low hanging fruit they are looking for. Coining it in from a few bumper away followings is easy, just have to set a price and let them in.

If Rovers fans don't like it tough "Should have bought a season ticket then" attitude 

[Mattyblue]

The 1875 Club was only ever used for a quick exploitative cash in on loyal fans with FOMO for a ticket to that lot down the M65.

They had zero interest in utilising it for anything productive.

[MarkBRFC]

League one was the original berth of the 1875 club wasn't it due to some small allocations?

From memory there was only Fleetwood that actually ended up needing it!

Then I think it got canned for a few years until we appeared in the same league as those lot so they decided to cash in on the FOMO as you rightly say.

What an operation this club is.

Am I correct in thinking that loyalty points are now accumulating season on season.

When they introduced it last year the maximum number of season tickets included in the loyalty point scheme was 2 (2023/24 and 22/23). I think you got more points for 23/24 than you did for 22/23.

Now I have 440 which I believe is another 150 for this years season ticket. 

Thinking forward, I wonder how many years season tickets they are going to include in the loyalty points before they 'cap' it.

A 'pointless' system for a club that very very rarely (Dingles aside) sells an away game out before general sale.

I don't think they know.

Just make it up as they go along.

Loyalty point system is completely pointless here, one game a season at best is there demand for any loyalty points before they go on general sale.

Usually if Dingles are in the same league as us, this year I suppose Wrexham might need it.

[Mattyblue]

Exactly, if it wasn't for Wrexham not a single game would be particularly close to selling out before general sale, so why do we need a convoluted point system?

Week for ST holders, then general sale like it always was.

[MarkBRFC]

Always worked before.

Popular games like Wrexham, just start it at ST holders + X away games depending when it falls in the season.

Over complicated nonsense.

[chaddyrovers]

Still expect we will get more than 4/5k walk ons for Birmingham home game

Rovers start well and get a positive result against WBA, maybe more on 

[Mattyblue]

Probably will, first home game and all that. Though it will soon drop off for a standard game at those ridiculous prices.
