Ticket Sales Criteria - Real Madrid and FA Cup Semi?

[Corky]

Concession prices are a minimal discount at Wembley but I notice juniors are Under 20s, which is unusual.

Differs as the FA can reflect club policy, Chelsea have under 12 and 13-19 teen categories, I expect ours to be different.

It's fair to say the club have made some controversial decisions on ticket sales criteria for some of the big games over the last year or so. The Champions League home semi was a free for all and lots missed out. We didn't sell out an FA Cup semi. Then we sold out a Charity shield.

There's two big ones comng up. What criteria do you think we should be offering? Here's my take:

Real Madrid -

1 day for Season Ticket Holders not on the CL Scheme
0.5 day Citizens who've attended 10 matches +
0.5 days Citizens whove attended 5 matches +
If any remain All Citizens.

FA Cup Semi

1 day Season Ticket holder on CL Scheme
1 day all Season Ticket Holders
After that all Citizens and also one extra ticket to all Season Ticket Holders.

What does everyone else think? I'm pretty convinced they'll make a mess of it by opening RM out to all citizens including new ones and then imposing too-strict criteria for Chelsea.

Why not use points after the S/T sales windows?

Because that would be facilitating the legacy fans who've been going for years, long before we were successful, accumulating their points, but who only buy a couple of beers at the ground, if anything at all. Try to keep up....we're not the target market..

Seems a bit odd. Could have two people born on the same day buy tickets. One an adult. One a junior.

But the discount is so small anyway, it’s not really worth getting worked up about.

Yep - in 2011 we had under 16 and Stoke under 17.

What about the person who procures a half and half scarf?

Stocks first for rotten fruit throwing, then to the Tower for hanging,beheading or quartering !!

Most weren't £30 in level 3 though, cup scheme was £25, none cup scheme and cityzen matchday members was £27.50. I'm fully on board with your argument for cheaper tickets but let's at least get the prices right we are arguing against.

Outside of the cup scheme. Within the 2000+ tickets left a week before the match all under 18 tickets were £30. A Parent/s either paid £30 so their kid/s could sit next to them on CBL3 or ESL3 or the kids wouldn’t go with their parents.

Just out of interest, is the under 18 age from 17 to how young the child is? For example, a 6 year old Child. (7, 8, 9….)

The only people who would have paid £30 were those getting extra tickets for people who weren't S/C holders or Matchday members.

Child is 0-17 if you want a seat, under 5s are free if they don't have a seat.

I know season ticket and citizen card holders tickets are cheaper. The ticket prices for kids, as we both agree on, are too high, especially if you take the age range into consideration, which has been conveniently shoehorned into under 18’s by the club.

Let’s see what the Real Madrid ticket prices are.

Cup schemers get 4 days to buy, then Season card holders 4 days with it dropping four thousand points a day
Day 5 all other season card holders
After that cityzens
