That is true.

Like it

Online booking fee is £1 per ticket with as you say 50p on top of that for postage.

Is that the same for telephone bookings?

No, phone booking is just face cost, plus extra for postage

anyone got a hint as to sales yet??

Never knew that, thats good to know

Well it seems ill be going with a good sized gang, couple of newbies tempted at the price & enthusiasm, couple who'd have just watched it on TV otherwise & a couple of die hards

Maybe 8-9 in all when normally thered be one or two

Think I've managed to get another two newbies to go also.
Sounds like Leeds are bringing loads. May

If we all convinced at least 2 newbies to come then we'd have over 20k there including Leeds fans. How good would that be for TV!!!!! We've all probably tried to get new fans to come to a game but let's give this an extra push this week. Ken deserves it from each and every one of us.

Like I said, I'm coming with 8 when there might be 1 before.

Our usual four has 6 extras!

The idea of selling the tickets at a cheaper price is an excellent one but the cost of the tickets is not actually £8 since they must be bought on the day before the match. The actual cost is £8 plus the cost in time and expense of going down to the stadium before match day. Alternatively it is £8 plus the £2 booking fee or alternatively it is the £8 plus the cost of booking them by telephone and queuing up to get them on the match day.
What I do not understand, given that Town and Fartown both use the same online booking service is why I can print out tickets for Town matches at home when I book them and avoid these additional fees but cannot do the same for Fartown matches. What is the point of tickets for SL matches being £3 cheaper if booked before the day when there is a £2 booking fee? Before anyone replies, “then become a season ticket holder,” I should add that I already am one. It is the effect on the occasional spectator such as the ones for the Leeds match that I am concerned with.

It took me less time to call the ticket office and order my tickets than it did to type your post I bet

And if you don't want to queue then pay 50p more and have them posted

What the hell do you want? For it to be delivered on a red velvet cushion carried by the priestesses of Avalon to the strains of some Wagnerian music?

£8 and 5 minutes on the phone. Fer crying out loud

A massive two pound- no how matter how many tickets you order, a phone call, 50p or a queue.
Either way it's less than half the price.
Some people are never happy eh!

Exactly !!

for a game like this the clubs could have easily charged £20 and some would have considered it reasonable.

It's £8 a ticket, or at most £10 inc fees and a trip to the stadium, which unless you live in another far distant town/county is nowt, what more do people want ?
