Ive just braught my FA Cup tickets and the club have very kindly given the fans a £2 off the normal price!

Why didnt they just make it a tenner for adults and a fiver for kids and get the numbers in?

I dont think there will be much intrest for tickets at £22, especially when season ticket holders who have been watching mainly crap at home all season have to buy their tickets aswell!

I suppose they know what there doing :shrug:

It was only licker when Knight was in power. With Bloom in charge all people who support him are the correct ones

You're joking right? 22.50 for adults and 12.50 junior?

What a FARCE.

I went to Huddersfield, i went to Carlisle, and every other bloody game. Giving this a miss though.

Yes.

Dunno if that's the case here or not, if it is then it's hard to see how it's a "sob story", whatever that is even supposed to mean in this context, so much as having to follow FA rules. :shrug:

Shit price anyway.

Relatively speaking, yes they do. - If they can't agree then the FA decide.

Its to stop the possibility of cup minnows drawing a massive money-spinning tie away to a premier league giant, and then they suddenly drop their ticket prices to a fiver, and the big share of ticket money is lost.

I know Brighton are hardly a giant with an enormous stadium,
but...rules is rules.

I got 2 adult tickets in the south stand block b for £22 each, I guess its the same 'discount' all over the ground?

It's the F.A Cup though which means there will still be a healthy audience there in any case.

I don't think it's going to be as poorly attended as you think. Firstly, even at £24 attendances aren't as dire as people make out (it's very average for our division, which is impressive given our circumstances).

Secondly, it's against one of only two teams we've beaten at home this year.

Thirdly, Saturdays game was jam packed with action and back and forth drama (albeit with a side order of defensive cock ups). A rematch of a 4-4 back and forth encounter should sell well.

Fourthly, there's the chance of extra football for the ticket if it goes to extra time/penalties.

Fifthly, it could see the home debut of our new manager.


Five, imo, good reasons that ticket prices don't need to be £10 to get a crowd.

Pity, we were looking forward to going if the tickets had been reasonably priced. Ah well, I shan't lose any sleep over it.

The ONLY way there will be a good crowd is if it's the first game of an EXCITING new manager

Went to the game saturday, and was looking forward to the replay, but not a chance at those prices!!!
Sorry, but the fact of wycombe wanting more money out of it doesnt really make sense. At a tenner a pop, fiver for kids, we could quite easily get 5k, and with tickets at £22 we will struggle to get half that!
Extremely pissed off about this!
