Quote from: pauliewalnuts on December 29, 2023, 06:16:10 PMWhen you have 42,000 seats and you consistently undersell by 200, that's not a problem of demand not being there. It's a problem of the 200 seats being unsellable, be they RV, single seats, whatever.I am staggered they think we are sufficiently stupid to not see through that.In the build up to the Sheff Utd game, some family members said they were going to visit and could they get tickets for the match. I kept looking the week before and every day there were a few single seats come up and blocks that added up to.200 or so I'm the Trinity and Holte. You couldn't book those as they were presumably for corporate. Luckily on the Thursday a row of ten or so became available in the Trinity (guessed it must have been a supporter's club returning unsold ones) so I could get some. I noticed that the same blocks remained pretty much unsold. Why not just make them for general sale a week or so before the game if they haven't been sold at that point?

Looked on the website for tickets for the Burnley game last week and said it's sold out, looked at it again a few days ago and they are seating available in the terrace view and the lower grounds , now it's sold out again

As an example I want four tickets for Burnley tomorrow, if I can't get four on this occasion I won't go as we will need to do something else together. To the club would I just be seen as someone on the waiting list who didn't go to the game? The way the statement was worded implies they just think one unsold seat means no-one else wanted to go, which would be insane.Good points. I’m sure there are many fans who’d like to take a child with them to occasional games but end up not going at all because either there are only single seats available (understandable) or when they find two together they’re being expected to pay the adult price for the child (totally unfair).Yep. I have paid adult prices for my 11 year old boy, and not gone to games alone when I couldn’t get tickets for him and my daughter. I doubt if I’ll go again for the next few years if I can’t get them in as well.

as soon as it starts to go wrong on the pitch the deck of cards the current board are stacking up will come smashing down, and the feel-good factor will not be there for them to hide behind.
