Tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis.[/quote] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alysha 0 Posted June 20, 2011 I was going to buy tickets online, but it seems as though you can''t pick seats anymore just the stand and block, so does anyone know if you are automatically allocated seats or can you can sit anywhere within the chosen block on the day?

Matt Juler 151 Posted June 20, 2011 That''s odd, doesn''t give the normal seating plan. On selecting "BUY" it then tells you the seat that it has assigned you (you can still cancel it at this point). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 20, 2011 [quote user="alysha"]so does anyone know if you are automatically allocated seats or can you can sit anywhere within the chosen block on the day?[/quote]It seems to be allocating tickets from the very front, which is rather annoying as I personally find the view from that low down crap. If you click "buy" and check your basket they only give row A at the moment. Looks like I''ll be buying mine over the counter (saves the booking fee I guess).

AJ 1,219 Posted June 20, 2011 Damn, no concessions for students! I''ll debating whether a friendly is worth 15 quid :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings of a Sparrow 1,415 Posted June 20, 2011 Might have to check out a few friendlies out ''cos I sure as hell ain''t gonna get PL tickets.

SwindonCanary 455 Posted June 20, 2011 This is the period of my holiday, so my first home match will be against Stoke, now that''s a real glamour tie ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grantroederdisaster 0 Posted June 20, 2011 I had a horrible thought that the club would be charging £20 for adult tickets. £15 is fair enough and as high as they should go up too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pidge 0 Posted June 20, 2011 yeh,i really hope this isnt a permant change as picking your seat was much easier plus you got the seats you wanted, not in whichever letter row the new underground seats are! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,764 Posted June 20, 2011 15 quid is fine.Always like to make one or two pre-seasons,just to see what our new signings may be like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mel0 0 Posted June 20, 2011 People who think £15 is fine for a friendly is exactly why football is going down the swanny in this country. friendlies should be £10 max unless you''re playing barcelona or someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,764 Posted June 20, 2011 15 quid to watch a game between a Premier and a Serie A side is reasonable to me.Last year i paid as much to watch us v Stevenage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ncfc26 0 Posted June 20, 2011 These should be 2 great games gonna go to both cant wait for the new season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largey 0 Posted June 20, 2011 Adult prices aren''t too bad....but to have no U21 prices means £15 is a bit steep for us. It may be against a Serie A side, but its gonna be played at 70% speed and friendlies are not the most exciting! Thought City may stick these at a fiver or a tenner to thank the fans.....

Herman 9,764 Posted June 20, 2011 You make a fair point Largey,but this is probably the lowest price the club can go.Being summer hols i think a large proportion will be kids,and someone has to subsidise them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigManInTheBarclay 75 Posted June 20, 2011 why is everyone complaining about £15? simple solution....either go or don''t....I''ll be there to cheer on the team and like someone said earlier see the new signings get a runout before the start of the season.

Largey 0 Posted June 20, 2011 My U21 season ticket averages out at £9 a game, yet a friendly will cost £15?! I know I''m getting a superb deal on the ST, but doesn''t mean we should pay more for a friendly.Not a big deal for me, but might put a lot of students/young adults off who are now away from uni/college and fancy catching up with a game!

Ren 75 Posted June 21, 2011 After watching a really dire home friendly against Col U I decided that was it for me and so far I have managed to stick with it, so not fussed what they charge. Id rather save my cash for away games. Enjoy folks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The club are not opening the whole ground - the upper tiers of the Barclay and N&P will be closed - so the club are obviously confident of selling a reasonable proportion of tickets regardless of whether students turn up. The lack of casual U-21 tickets I think shows the direction the club are moving in That said Im probably going to take my lad (4) to his 1st game for one of the friendlies - £15 adults and £5 kids means that I dont lose too much if he gets fed up....

Evil Monkey 52 Posted June 21, 2011 I''ll be going to at least one of these with two of my kids, assuming it doesn''t sell out before I can afford to buy them! I was expecting about a tenner a ticket for adults, personally, but the price still doesn''t seem too unreasonable. I doubt I''ll either get the chance or be able to afford many games this year so friendlies will at least allow me to check out some of the new players first-hand before I start arguing with people about how good they are [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Year of the tiger 54 Posted June 21, 2011 What I reckon is more bizarre is Gorleston charging £15 for their game against City. Thats more ythan either Palars or Coventry which I think are £10 if you buy in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Al 0 Posted June 21, 2011 £15 is a bit steep when its quite likely that the teams appearing are going to be reserve teams. A quick google search shows that Parma are playing West Brom on Sunday 7th August so it is unlikely that they will put out anything like a full team in both games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
