I still think they've dropped the ball a little bit with the pricing even after the 20% discount.

The Young Boys game kicks off at 5:45pm which means I was never going to realistically make that without taking a half day.

The other games are then £57 and after spending £860 on a season ticket it's just too much money.

I'll still go to a few European games but like Man City, this is an issue and I think they're gonna have some struggles this year filling the ground for some of these games.

I completely agree- bundle purchased as I expect Home attendance will be a prerequisite for away tickets. However, less than 10% of the STHs will be thinking along the same lines (based on away capacities). The prices have significantly increased on the conference league games which didn't all sell out.

I think the 20% was a clever ploy because it puts people off giving one a miss.

Yeah it is a clever ploy but I think it was also an admission that the starting price-point was too high.

The issue they've got, particularly with a 5:45 kick-off time to sell that they may be in a position where they're having to shift 20k £57 tickets whilst also trying to sell league games.

Think it's a wider issue but the pricing in football in general is going to really affect the attendances longer term.

The Europa League has been decimated by the CL changes, the quality of sides your up against is generally much weaker as well so it's a harder sell to get people to buy tickets when we're playing Salzburg and Young Boys

Looking at the deals that are starting to appear for the GA+ seats I think they are going to find it tough across the board to sell tickets.

There are lots and lots of tickets left for Bologna, was wondering if I'd miss out.

Things are just a bit flat atm. I'd imagine that winning the next 3 games would help shift quite a few more.

Only a 21.6% chance of winning a competition that's so bad Tottenham were too good to play in it? Ffs, Emery out.

I don't think the fact we played them at home last season helps either.

These sorts of things are a crock of shit. In my opinion.
