Freebies

There are a group (or groups) of people that get free seats to the matches at Carrow Road. Seems to me this should stop in the currect climate of redundancies and asking for financial help.  If you know who these people or jobs are how about listing them?

aren''t they mostly ''corporate hospitality''  for which the company involved pays highly (normally through sposorship)

Schools often get free seats to the games, tying in with projects in the club''s education center.

This is common practice in the sports/entertainment industry and occurs in every part of the world.

The only people that I know who get free tickets are:-

Occassionally Schools (Normally 30 tickets per game)

Two charities get 10 each (one for elderly and one for mentally handicapped)

Staff (many of whom have taken pay cuts, if their jobs still exist)

Academy Players

A couple for each player.

Do you really want this club to sink so low that it stops giving tickets to schools and charities? If anything they should give MORE on the basis that there will be empty seats next season!

Our school used to offer tickets to various Norwich games but we still had to pay for them.

I think sponsors get concessionary seats or box seats too don''t they?

would seem more of a waste to me if we had gates of 25,000 next year, but I suspect that they wont be able to ''give away'' the tickets next year to some games.

personally i would be happy if they gave 1,000 tickets every game to schoolkids and old peoples homes etc.... better than empty seats, and most of them would spend a few quid on fizzy drinks and chocolate at half time.....

I can tell you that almost no staff get free tickets at Carrow Road. The main reason being that they''re working on matchday....[:|]

Former players get a pair of free tickets for most home games. This I know to be a fact. Normally in the upper barclay.

[quote user="Romantic"]I think sponsors get concessionary seats or box seats too don''t they?[/quote]Yeah, we should stop this - what''s the sense in giving away free tickets to people who pay lots of money to the club!!!!!

I''ve been to a few games for free before because the company I worked for advertised on Radio Broadland and they let us see a few games a year in their box. I suppose that Radio Broadland paid the club for the box in the first place though. It was a horrible experience, I spent the whole game wishing I was over in the lower barclay as usual. Did get a free lunch though.
