Great to see the club have decided to adopt the same pricing structure that Sunderland did for yesterday.

Well done BFC

Isn't this something that the clubs have to agree on anyway? I seem to remember that a couple of years ago the club wanted to put tickets on sale at a cheaper rate, however, I think it was Burton who insisted that they be priced higher.
Hopefully, it will help to get a few more fans in to support the team, however, the attendance at Sunderland yesterday was abysmal.

Unlike us, Sunderland had cash turnstiles.

It'll be a last minute decision for me on the Tuesday night, and as we don't have a cash turnstile, chances are I won't bother.

Perhaps we should follow Sunderland's lead and let fans pay cash on the night.

Hardly rocket science.

Surely the club can arrange one or two cash turnstiles? Sunderland managed it yesterday. If they make it all ticket they've only got themselves to blame when we get a pathetic attendance.

No Ashington, this season the Home side sets the price.
Yesterday, Man Utd set the price for the game against Reading, Reading then subsidised the cost for their fans to £30 max and paid the difference, as they felt the price had been set too high.
The fact that Man Utd (one of the richest clubs in the world) wanted to charge the earth for a FA cup game, a competition they devalued by not entering a few years back, is one of the reasons the magic of the FA cup is disappearing IMO.

The attendance will be "pathetic" even with cash turnstiles. The offer of a free pie and benny wouldn't put many more on the gate.

The magic of the cup has long gone.

They didn't have any cash turnstiles for home supporters and the one they had for away supporters was set up as a ticket office terminal as well. We bought our tickets at that turnstile about an hour before we went in.

We don't have those facilities - there isn't even a cash turnstile for the youth games.

But will you be able to buy a ticket at the ticket office an hour before the match.

I would assume tickets will be available from the ticket office right up to kick off

It was easy to get a ticket online for the Spurs game in 2015, you could print off your ticket like a boarding card. Hopefully will be doing that for the Sunderland game.
