I'd be surprised if attendances are not lower this season than last.

Anyway all is irrelevant

We had 17,863 home fans v Southampton
Last season in our first home game v Watford we had 17,758 fans.

Haha. I’ve seen enough games these past few decades which made my eyes burn to avoid that tag, but the Accy game the other year, and what we’ve done against other lowly sides, is too recent in the memory to ignore completely. £10 and £2 kids I’d be tempted to go on and take the young one on. They’re still on holiday from school so one late night wouldn’t be an issue. Those prices have made my mind up.

The prices are what they are ..... if some don't wish to pay it then thats their prerogative.

I have ordered ours and am quite happy thanks

We have 4 ST in the family stand, but one of them is for my 5yo nephew, but as it’s night game he won’t be going so we were thinking of moving to Longside but won’t be if it’s going to cost me £20 instead of £15 to have own seat

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Thu Aug 15, 2019 6:30 pm

Same prices that Stanley charged this week
They need the money, we don't
An example of fans being unappreciated and that includes the away fans who will have a long night of travelling
I'm fortunate that the money is not the thing but I won't be going on principle
Somewhat ashamed of these prices

Actually just gone to purchase 1 in Longside under my ST number and charged me £15 so all good

That clears that up then - it’s season ticket price wherever you sit

So it’s probably a club decision then just to try and make as much cash off the Sunderland fans as possible.

How is it?
If a Sunderland is a STH it’s still £15 and they as a club would have had to agree with the prices

Granny WeatherWax · Post by **Granny WeatherWax** » Thu Aug 15, 2019 6:44 pm

I suspect we decided £15 without offering £10. Could be wrong but that’s what it smells like.

Given that they didn't sell that many tkts the whole gate receipts would have been minimal, so can't see why Sunderland would insist on higher prices

So you really think that we've decided to charge £15 instead of £10 and risk p***ing off a lot of home fans just so the club will make an extra £5/10k from the away fans!

Nothing at all would surprise me concerning how we choose to sell tickets.

It's the price of a pint and half in town before the game.

£10 / £15. Is it that big an issue?

Some whining going on about prices ..... no pleasing some folk is there

Reminds me of the old joke about the Strike meeting at Fords in the 70's

The Union convenor stood at the front and with a megaphone told the assembled crowd.
"We have negotiated a 9% pay rise, 10 weeks paid holiday a year, and you only have to work Wednesdays"

A shout from the back in a miserable tone
"What ... every bloody Wednesday"

I'm convinced whoever shouted that, or his descendants post on this Forum .....

The money is of no concern and I’ve already got my ticket. I just thought it would be a tenner, £15 just seems a bit of a rip off for a league cup game against L1 opponents.

But as I’ve said, I’ll be there, as always.

PS - Couldn't see where there was supposed to be nearly 2000 empty seats?

Jimmy Mc upper would account for a lot of those.

Maybe you should ask the club the same question.

How do you come to that conclusion? 90/95% of those seats are already taken by season ticket holders.

No idea which ones are season ticket holders. There were however a lot more empty seats then previous seasons. And there were a lot of empty seats in there in previous seasons.

Prices at this round should be fixed at say £10 for Adults for all clubs regardless of ST holder or not and a £5 for kids. The clubs shouldn’t be allowed to alter the prices.

The issue with pricing it to suit your club is when the secret is let “ out of the bag” like a few years ago when Karen Brady went public with our refusal to agree to a lower price for the FA Cup tie

Can only assume you mean the 5th round of the FA Cup in 2011 - the only time we've played against Karren Brady's team in the FA Cup I think. These were the prices.

Top Claret · Post by **Top Claret** » Fri Aug 16, 2019 10:26 am

The majority who moan about the price difference between a £15 to £10 are the ones who wouldn't attend if they opened the gates for free
These moaners think nothing of ******* their hard earned cash up against the wall or spunking it down the bookies

Which is their choice.

Most people have a value on things, and if the price goes above what they think is a fair deal then don't go.

Darnhill Claret · Post by **Darnhill Claret** » Fri Aug 16, 2019 11:08 am

First of all, the wide range of moans, complaints against the club in general no longer surprises me. Yet complaints that we don’t take cup competitions seriously annoys me. The reason being is that I always want my team to win every single game they play, even though I do know that we will draw some and even lose one or two. We rotate occasionally in the league and always in the cup games to give squad players game time. To suggest that these players are instructed to lose, or are expected to lose is a wild assumption. Even if it is only to get another game in the next round the players will be trying their best to progress. Arsenal and other ‘big clubs’ often get to the later stages of ‘cups’ by rotation so it doesn’t always end in failure and maybe I’m wrong but why anyone would think that if we ‘tried harder’ in the cups we would be getting to cup finals. It is still usually one or two of the ‘big 6’ contesting the majority of cup finals.
Why would we further drop prices for cup games than we are already doing if we are trying to do our best in a cup competition. The bigger question is why would fans of any club expect better results in a cup competition than in any other game?
We have been subject to ‘giant-killings like West Ham and other clubs. Just like we hope to be on the right side of a ‘giant killing’ when we are drawn against a ‘bigger club’.
Patience and understanding required. Yeh, I know .......

You mean a bit like Leeds valuing Phillips at £30m and Burnley thinking a fair deal is £20m.

Well, along with non attending.

I've been trying to purchase 5 tickets for my group (all season ticket holders) but the system says 'The system couldn't reserve this seat for you. Please choose a different seat'. Anyone had a similar problem or if you've managed to purchase your seat please can you let me know how you managed to do it?

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Fri Aug 16, 2019 9:08 pm

Just tried again and after logging on and clicking on the game it's now put tickets for all my Friends and Family in my basket but I only want them for 5 of them! Help.

Sorted now but I had to buy them through my wife's F and F. Anyone else had problems purchasing tickets?

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Fri Aug 16, 2019 11:11 pm

Spoke to Andy Holt tonight
It is a joint decision based on what the home team suggest
At Stanley they agreed on £15 as tops but no excess for non ST's

Just went online and all the seats are in my basket thanks to the "Friends and family" who I have registered.

It’s always been like that. I spoke to ticket office about it once and they said there is nothing they can do about it and you have to manually deselect the ones you don’t want. I have about 20 F&F and only wanted to buy my ticket so it was a pain.

They usually show automatically in basket and you remove the ones you don’t want but they aren’t showing

I think the automatic option is removed when they go on general sale (from today). I bought two for a relative today and non of my Friends and Family that are registered with myself automatically appeared in my basket. For the previous two days when I’ve been buying tickets they appeared as soon as I logged on.

You’ll probably just need to do it manually by clicking on your relevant area of the ground.

They were in general sale from the beginning though so that hasn’t changed

Securing area won’t allow you to select seat because it’s not available and won’t be loaded onto the card
