FA Cup, Brighton home

[Golden Arrow]

To put a positive spin on it, it's more money in the clubs coffers towards Summer transfers.

 

[Golden Arrow]

I might be being stupid, but I can't find this on the Wolves site?

It says not available/sold out?!

As a STH, I've only received notification today regarding ticket sales, so no panic re availability.

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

who came up with the stupid idea of the 5th round being midweek?

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

We should be grateful.

Brighton might rest players with two PL games either side and Europe a week after.

Literal pennies compared to what they get from TV Revenue. Realistically a cup run is as good as it’ll get for us this season, as Europe was always going to be a long shot.

The difference between 20k at £30 a ticket and 28k at £20 a ticket is absolutely nominal. We’ll earn far more just from winning the game.

Managed to find where to get them, but there's something badly wrong with our ticketing as it still says on most ways 'in' to get tickets that it's sold out.
Anyway, massive game for our season.

Edit: not this topic, I know, but it's damn frustrating for Sunday, too. They keep cancelling the trains I book from Brum.
Still a bit down after last night I guess.

Twas a tongue in cheek comment, "Skrilla" .

I know, I’m just agreeing!

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Absolutely disgraceful.

Sooner Jeff ****s off the better

Jeez

 

[Sketchead]

It's going to be on the Wednesday night, iPlayer.

 

[Ned]

I was a bit critical of the attendance for the Brentford replay but this pricing is a proper own goal, especially after not bringing in anybody for the first team in the January window… it’s a silly PR move driven by greed.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

I

No, we won't Jeff, because we'll lose to Brighton after you failed to bring in a striker.

We'll have Hwang back for that game. I'm more worried about March/April time when the burnout kicks in.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

who came up with the stupid idea of the 5th round being midweek?

Was the same last season. Think the idea behind it was to free up weekends for a full set of league games to stop fixture congestion at the end of the season.

 

[Beeches wolf]

How do they justify the big price hike from the Brentford game to Brighton?

 

[Wolf316]

Because they’re bloody robdogs

The Brentford crowd was 25,000ish, very good considering there was only about 250 Brentford fans

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Bit frustrating that most people seem to be criticising the club for the Brighton ticket prices
Let’s not forget the net gate receipts are split 45% to both clubs and 10% to the FA
Therefore the ticket prices have to be agreed between the 2 clubs not just the home club
To that end if anyone is criticising Wolves then please direct 50% of it to Brighton

 

[Perton Wolf]

Pay up and stop moaning you miserable ****s.

You'll all be there queuing up for your £80 wembley tickets ay it?

Ignorant thing to say when we're in the middle of a cost of living crisis.

 

[Ercall Wolves]

We didn’t sell out at £18 for Brentford

25,000ish with only about 250 Brentford fans

 

[Wolf316]

26,600ish with only about 250 Brentford fans

Which isn’t a sell out. Can’t see Brighton bringing many to a midweek cup game.

Still a very healthy gate

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

All Round 5 games are being broadcast and both our game and Bournemouth v Leicester City will be on the BBC Sport Website and iPlayer.

Kick off for us on the Wednesday is 19:45.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

On I player . Cant see many attending at those prices

I won’t be

 

[Wolf316]

It was but it was also a decent price. £20 for Brighton and I think we’d sell out.

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Let’s wait and see what the attendance is, IMO we could well sell out

 

[Gold Umbro]

Yeah… sadly too much for me on top of season ticket costs.
£70 with my two (big) kids.

 

[jrpb-3]

£30 not cheap , but a fairly hefty discount compared to a ticket to watch us play them in the prem.

 

[Zico]

How do they justify the big price hike from the Brentford game to Brighton?

Because it's the fifth round. Win it and we're in the last eight.

 

[JOSWolf]

What a farce. Thirty quid!

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

What a rip off

 

[Wolf316]

Because it's the fifth round. Win it and we're in the last eight.

Doesn’t justify a £12 hike.

How did you get in BW ?

Agreed Brighton are ****s, but so are Wolves. Massive hike for no reason whatsoever.

 

[Hazza]

I paid £48 last night for a league game.

Personally I don’t think £25 for same seat FA Cup 5th round is too bad

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Agreed Brighton are ****s, but so are Wolves. Massive hike for no reason whatsoever.

Not a massive hike though is it, just less of a discount. Think I paid £625 for my season ticket, or £33 a game. So it's still £8 less than a match to match price for a ST. I'd rather pay less obviously, but £25 instead of £20 isn't going to change my mind about going.

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Disagree with your comment, “Massive hike for no reason whatsoever”
I would say the reason is to maximise revenue for the game

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

How did you get in BW ?

I got in via clicking the little person in the circle. When you get your profile with Loyalty Points etc, you get your tickets to manage and also reserved tickets (which are the Cup ones)

30 quid in steve bull according to email, £12 increase on Brentford replay, didn't the pricing police need maximum revenue in December then?

I'll still attend as it's what we do, but just think the club have took advantage yet again.

 

[Zico]

£25 behind the goal for a fifth round match isn't bad at all. Win the next two and it'll feel like chicken feed compared with Wembley prices!!

£18 for the most expensive seats in the ground was pretty generous pricing though, got 24k home fans in. Don't get me wrong, I think it's daft and if £5 less would get us a sellout and that drove us into the next round then that's the sensible thing to do. I just don't think it's a huge issue. I'll have seen 4 games on the way to our FA Cup win for £83 IIRC, people are spending that on one PL ticket in some places. Prices do have to be agreed between clubs as well I believe.
