FA Cup, Brighton home

[Zico]

£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.

I'm not convinced that £5 difference on a ticket would make a significant difference to the take up.

£20 is plenty for any cup game unfortunately we’ve gone down the greed route

 

[Summer_Wolf]

Awful pricing. Bull **** Jeff strikes again, absolute clown.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I'm excited about the Cup this year!

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.

Yes, same here. Took me half an hour to negotiate the site to buy a Brighton ticket for my normal STH seat. Kept getting sold out notices. Also, changed my email address on my profile page recently, but the Club kept on sending emails to the old address which weren't being delivered. Took a phone call to sort that out once I had worked out which number to ring (not obvious). They don't make things easy.

Think it's an utter own goal (again) re pricing for a midweek game, not forgetting we have a decent chunk of southern fans who certainly won't be coming for the best part £100 if we include trains.

Hope we get through.

Just out of interest I wonder what the other clubs in the 5th round are charging? I would be surprised if most of them were less than £25

 

[Fenrir_]

Seems a right **** take but just had a look at some of the 18/19 prices. Liverpool in the 3rd round on a Monday night (live on BBC) was the same price as this

Do think it should be less though

 

[lets all have a disco]

I wish the club would take the cup seriously they keep saying, as long as we don't have to pay over £15.........you can't do a basket shop in Aldi these days for under £25........the club needs to cover it's costs etc and make some money towards FFP......£25 is probably about right for a decent fa cup game in today money ...

Let's hope we don't get to Wembley if prices am putting people off.....you won't buy 4 drinks for £25 down London.....

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

I know they get split in the FA Cup but surely the away team has no say in the price they’re sold at? That seems crazy?

They absolutely do I’m afraid

 

[Southdownswolf]

I'm not paying those prices. I'll watch it in a bar in Gran Canaria instead.........

 

[Big Saft Kid]

£20 is exactly what I have paid for my concessionary tkt in the BWU. You get it uploaded to your smartcard and you don't even pay an admin fee. Decent if you are a pensioner

 

[Matt]

Try absolutely do I’m afraid

Looks like it was scrapped in 2017: The price of change: new FA Cup rule stings home and away fans - Football Supporters' Association.

Liverpool seem to avoid this problem with a pricing structure set before the season. Would have been £30+ for Brentford I reckon, £60 in the main stand (unless you can get Main Stand Upper - not sure why they're so cheap)

Thanks for that I was clearly out of date

I had no idea it was ever a thing! Seems mad.

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)

Cheers

 

[Monk]

Here's a thought how many of you moaning minnies saying they won't pay and go because it's not a fair price went to the Hawthorne last week? Bet you would have paid even more than we are charging against Brighton for the privilege.

Bet if we beat Brighton and get drawn away you'll be first in the queue for a quarter final ticket.

I can only see 4 of our 5 as reserved?

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Are you assigned as a 'manager' for all of them? I sort of look after 3, but one of them I can buy, but can't for example put up for resale!

Have u bought all 5 recently?? 2 of my 7 weren't on mine when ticketmaster took over, they had to sign in and authorise my request to add them, right pain in the a*** it was

 

[Ercall Wolves]

[woop woop barmy army]

Brought mine today, 2 other season ticket holders who I attend with also going.

I used my email address for my kids so when they had to authorise me it was easy peasy authorising myself

 

[Severnup]

When ticketmaster took over we were apparently told to update or check those linked to our accounts. I had overlooked this and when trying to purchase cup tickets only mine showed up. Easily remedied via online chat at club.

The extra money they make is peanuts I don’t get why they risk a half empty stadium on tv for probably no extra money, non footballing people in charge

is it on tv?

It's on BBC Iplayer

I absolutely guarantee you the stadium will not be half empty

 

[Wolf316]

Early days I know but how are sales going

After all my moaning about the prices I’ve just bought our two.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

I absolutely guarantee you the stadium will not be half empty

That's just because you're a positive type of guy who'll see it as half full

 

[Ercall Wolves]

[WinchWolf]

Has anyone had any problems, buying their reserved ticket. I get a message telling me to complete all required fields, I get this message regardless of the card used.

Oh if anyone faces this issue, I have found that if I use incognito mode in the browser I can purchase the ticket. I must have some cookie somewhere with errors.

It is the 5th round of the cup. Win it and we would be 1 game off another Wembley semi.

Its probably worth pointing out that STHs would not be guaranteed a cup final ticket if we made it as the allocation is less than 25,000 and the club would no doubt be selling a few prawn sandwiich packages. I may need a few loyalty points in the bank to be sure of a cup final ticket should we make it so £25 for a STH aint too bad.

Only 22,500 STH.
Last year finalists got over 30k each.
Come anyway though!
