FAO anyone and everyone

Post by MACCA » Tue Mar 27, 2018 3:15 pm

Due to a change in circumstances, I can now go West Brom on Saturday.
Does anyone know if there are still tickets available, and also the free 01282 number for the ticket office.
( I'm hoping to take my son who hasn't seen us lose away this season, or away for about 3 seasons, he's on about a 10 unbeaten streak )

Thanks in advance.

Tickets collected, was literally only a dozen left, so those wanting tickets get them asap.
Lucky charm is coming too, so we won't be getting beaten!

You can't use the 01282 number to order tickets

Was it? Maybe they've changed it.

It wasn't a direct line, there were a few options, number 2 was ticketing. Got through, spoke to what sounded like a young man ( very helpful ) even got told what row options I had available, as I'm taking my lad and he can't see too much on the first half a dozen rows.

Went down and selected which ones I wanted after looking at the seating plan. However Like I mentioned there were literally only a dozen left, so may have been extra helpful to shift Them, and it wasn't exactly busy so he may have had time that normally they wouldn't, say like on day 1 of sales for Man United away.

That's the number which is given for the Ticket Office on the club website on the Ticket Office Opening Times page.

Exactly. Why should people who are already parting with money, pay more just buy the tickets. The amount of profit it makes is less than negligible in these times

Yes but if you can hook a few into parting with more cash, why change it?
Same couod be said for ticket prices, shirts, programmes, food etc.
Drop each by 50p a time, and no doubt youre talking thousands of pounds, it all mounts up.

We ( well bfc in the community, although the club is responsible and give it the yay or nay ) now charge for the child's Xmas party, player walk ons etc, which all used to be free and a great way to get kids hooked on all things BFN.
Any chance to grab that extra few quid is pounced upon these days I'm affraid.

Only once the fans stop attending or spending will they approach change to try and assist the next generation to get involved.
It will go full circle, it's just a case of when.

You used to have to pay to be in the Junior Clarets or whatever name it's had over the years.

It's free now. Charging a nominal fee for the xmas party is fine.

So is a premium phone number, it's only a nominal fee, and makes the club we love a few quid, I don't see the issue. It's not like it doubles the ticket cost.
