Upside Down Posted Wednesday at 20:18 Posted Wednesday at 20:18 As disgusting as the pricing is, it matters not a jot to me as I won't be buying a ticket for venky rovers ever. My suggestion to those that don't like the price of the tickets would be to not buy one. Don't give them your money. I wouldn't give them the steam off my piss. 1 Quote

Let's knock 1k off coz it's summer holidays. You think there will be ~18k on? I think there's no chance of that myself Quote

I think you might struggle to get to Ewood from your house so probably not a tough decision. 1 Quote
Tomphil2 Posted Thursday at 11:12 Posted Thursday at 11:12 The numpties inside Ewood will be banking on Brum selling the whole DE that's how they operate. They couldn't give a toss if those prices make a potential 15k home turnout into 12k. 1 Quote
Mattyblue Posted Thursday at 11:16 Posted Thursday at 11:16 Plus it’s opening home day, so they know they’ll still get more home fans than a game a few weeks later. Don’t like it? Tough, we’ll be coining it in from Brum regardless. Quote

I think the ticket prices this time will mean fewer home fans will bother. Unless we beat Albion 4-0 away the week before or something. I won't hold my breath Quote
arbitro Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago https://www.chorleyfc.com/blogs/news/super-15-season-tickets-launched Imaginative initiative from non league Chorley. They have lots of standing room which undoubtedly helps but with us supposedly allocating safe standing areas it could work. The key sentence for me is 'You asked and we listened'. Quote

Great idea for "smaller clubs" it would be a logistical nightmare for probably the 2 people who run Rovers ticketing operation. 2 Quote

Suggested it on here last season, got told it wouldn't work. Quote
Mattyblue Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago (edited) Not were you were told. Everybody agreed it would work a treat for fans. What you were actually told was the club wouldn’t offer it as it would cannibalise full ST sales and lead to a complete collapse in midweek crowds… and guess what they haven’t offered it.

Plus its a Saturday 3pm which some/most fans are better for them. 2 hours ago, arbitro said: https://www.chorleyfc.com/blogs/news/super-15-season-tickets-launched Imaginative initiative from non league Chorley.

Good offer and I know some Rovers fans who attend some Chorley when Rovers aren't playing. Quote
Mattyblue Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago (edited) I know they did, that’s when we had this discussion last time. I.e. during the season, during, like they do with bundles, half STs and all the rest of it. They just aren’t going to offer it as an alternative option in the summer for the entire upcoming season for the reason I outlined. That doesn’t mean I and many other ST holders wouldn’t snap their hand off for one if it was offered… and that’s why they don’t, and won’t . Edited 10 hours ago by Mattyblue Quote
M_B Posted 21 minutes ago Posted 21 minutes ago (edited) Won't is a long time, and bundles and half season tickets aren't flexing tickets. Like Chorley have acknowledged, with football as it is, it looks inevitable to happen. We'll no doubt have another tester later this season. Edited 14 minutes ago by M_B Quote

I saw that Chorley were concerned about low season ticket sales and canvassed supporters who were on their ticketing database. This is why they said they listened. I doubt very much that Rovers have even considered other initiatives ie discounted family tickets. The driver should be around 14000 empty seats. Quote
