We haven't had a sell-out either. Surprised by that. |  |

I get that the club has to profit-maximise, running costs are high etc. but the walk-up price for what isn’t a particularly great seat in a ‘Gold’ area is now £38 I believe. I can’t blame anyone for not coming when we aren’t in much contention for anything even though the team is generally entertaining. |  | | |

Friend bought his ticket online yesterday morning and with the booking fee it was over £40! | | | |

Our cheapest season tickets in Block Y don't look like they've sold out, plenty of empty seats most games. The walk up price yesterday in Y was £19, £14 in advance or £13 if you are a member. | | | |

I noticed at the Cup game that the are in Ellerslie above the P has had a whole load of seats taken out. |  | | |

Wasn’t there a stat last week that we’ve been 19th in the league standings the last three years at this point in the campaign?
So this ranking makes sense. | | | |

Can’t finish higher than 14th whatever we do .
At this point in the season it would make sense to drop the £5 walk up charge just to see if it helps attendances. |  | | |

I think this would be well worth trying.
Surely the cost of employing staff to sell tickets on the day is not very high? | | | |

9th position in terms of how full we are percentage wise against our Capacity. |  | | |

I don't know if we include absent season ticket holders in our attendances, but I'm convinced some do. For instance Stoke aren't getting anywhere near 22k each week. My mate works there and he says there thousands of empty seats each week |  | | |

Are they always that price?
Good to know as £40 quid does put me for one off coming more than once or twice a year | | | |

Just make it easy for people to attend. Drop the fiver walk up charge, and if you are on the data base, allow registered fans access to the Upper Loft. That's where I prefer to sit, and unless my son gets me a ticket, I can't sit there. |  |

Portsmouth posted the attendance on Saturday as 18,000+, but the ground only holds 19,000 and there were thousands of empty seats. |  | | |

I think a lot of clubs do that and I suppose arguably they have sold that many seats for the game.
Nowadays when every entrance is scanned it should not be difficult to give an actual attendance figure. They must have the data as you would be very interested in sold seats not being occupied I would have thought. |  | | |

That's just ridiculous. Only been to the two FA Cup matches myself due to cost. |  | | |

To the best of my knowledge season tickets are included in every clubs attendance figure. | |

So your son can get you a ticket to every game then, so what's stopping you ?? | | | |

He has the 6 ticket bundle and a season ticket for next season. If I want to sit upper loft, I have to go through him, which is obviously no big deal, it's just not easy enough on an ad hoc basis.
My point was meant to be that it needs to be easier. If you don't care where you sit and don't mind the walk up charge, it's no problem. | |

I know that mate, and thanks. I just feel the club could make it easier, like it used to be, for people to make a snapish decision and decide to go to Rangers without too much planning and with walk up tickets the same price. I don't think it would make too much difference to the attendance, but who knows? If it were to happen until the end of the season with good publicity, there may be a welcome boost in numbers. | |

If walk up prices were the same more people would delay purchasing, till they made an on the day decision based on weather, do I feel like it, are friends going, what was the last result and I'll avoid the booking fee.
The club would find it harder to estimate numbers coming and therefore make operational arrangements with catering and security partners as well as their own staff.
Don't shoot the messenger. | | | |

Speaking of cheaper tickets, for the game against us on March 17th, Charlton are only charging £20 for adults for their cheapest seats and their administrative charge is only £1.50. They also add only £3 for walk-ups. |  | | |

Any empty seats in Y block tend to be season ticket holders not turning up , the season tickets in there for this campaign sold out in december 2018 & there is currently only one left for next season ,
As for saying the walk up price is £19 , even for Stoke in a storm there was only one ticket on sale by last friday for Y block so if buying in there i would suggest buying in advance . It may be possible to buy in there on matchday for a midweek game or fixtures like Barnsley & there are a few for Derby next tuesday night . [Post edited 17 Feb 2020 20:13]
