Seat Counters - 2023/24

It’s a combination of both. Having to have a membership to buy a ticket. And the cost of a ticket. Let’s be honest, Palace at home isn’t an attractive fixture, especially during the Christmas/festive period with so much to do and so much going on, but the club are still charging £51-‘£68’ for a ticket. Bring a kid, if you can get 2 tickets together, and it’s not far short of £100 depending on where the seats are in the ground. The available seats may have already been sold and have been put on the seat exchange, but it would be better if those seats were occupied instead of remaining empty today and in other home games. Regardless of the seats already being sold and relisted for sale, I don’t understand why the club don’t seem to be bothered about those seats remaining empty on a match day. Bar the additional income from those seats being sold, there is the additional income of drink, food, etc that the club are missing out on. As others have mentioned, there will be an extra 8000 seats to sell for a similar game at this time of the season in 2 years to time. How is the club going to address that matter?

The club have had a huge push on memberships these last couple of years.

They want everyone who may be thinking of attending an odd game or two, knowing that they’ll be zero chance of that happening without a membership.

If it’s means return seats for games like today, plus the associated spending on food etc. are going unsold, then so be it. It’ll be all factored into their strategy.

I don’t think today’s game will be included in the guaranteed refund scheme anyway. So any that don’t resell will still be paid for.

Having tickets available isn't a problem.

90% will be ticket exchange singles, however there isn't the demand for them today like there is for other games, and they will disappear at 12pm. City may fail to sell out due to having 20 tickets left in the normal away section at the back of the third tier, which isn't an issue in the slightest.

City have effectively successfully stopped fans without paid memberships from buying them. Idiotic strategy!!

I noticed that the Huddersfield game had a window which essentially allowed people between age 14-21 to buy a ticket without being a match-day member. What's the thinking behind this?
