Fev season ticket holders are not exempt, at least according to their closed group on FB.

Don't see what the problem is.
If you want to sit at the railway end, it's £2 extra on the day.
If you don't want to pay it, or prefer to sit/stand elsewhere, there's no charge in the other two stands, or on the terracing.
That's 2400 free seats and space for about 3500 on the terracing.
My advice is to get there early and stake your spot, the tight buggers of Fev will be in place long before kick off to avoid the fee.

The problem is over 1,000 Bulls fans (and no doubt some Fev too) bought tickets before this extra charge was announed. And since it hadn't been used before, nobody could see it coming. A lot of those fans (myself included) bought those tickets with the intention of sitting in the stand behind the sticks that we sat in lat season. The tickets were sold under false pretences.
You can see that, surely? |

| Quote: FevGrinder "My personal view that this has been ill conceived by the club as a bit of an after thought. I can see that they are trying in to cash in, but charging supporters from both clubs (though I suspect really aimed at Bradford fans) and extra £2 after issuing tickets appears to be a bit naive to me and let's say 2000 people do use those stands all it will generate is a extra £4k and in doing it this way I am fairly sure they will not be 2000 in those stands.
Personally I hope the club relents on this and does not enforce it on the day, I suspect it will make for a packed out Post Office Road end if they don't.
As for taking your bat and ball home and never coming again that is your choice, I know a number of people that have said they are not going to Odsal, because it is a rip off. I think they are wrong to do this, but again each to there own. Personally I don't see what else Bradford could do after getting relegated in 2014, in that they would have a income stream to fill and part of this is the ticket sales - so Bradford have kept their prices high. Similarly in this case I can see why Fev want to maximize their income streams in a similar manor, just the way it has been done is naive.
Anyway win, lose or draw good luck for the rest of the season.'"
That's a well reasoned and very reasonable post.
Now-- let's get back to discussing the game and not the ticket prices. |

So what happens if the other parts of the ground get overcrowded? |

They can't. As part of any Ground Safety certificate, they must be able to close any area once it reaches its capacity. |

I ordered at about 7:30am Monday morning and they arrived the following day. Probably not what you wanted to hear though.

Yup....
Its £18 for a seat. Want a transfer to the new stands? It'll be anothrr two quid.
Same price as it is to stand at odsal????
But this doesn't satisfy the sense of "outrage" at 'how dare they do this to Bradford' and as such some can leap on a keyboard, jump on an exceptionally high horse claiming not fair.... shameful... something must be done.... get the rfl on it blah blah blah....
Does my bloody nut... |

I don't think you understand. The disappointment is adding to the price after you bought a ticket, do you need me to write it down in simple words?
