Ticket Prices

Was looking at tickets in the area between the Canton & Ninian Stands in the stadium for tonight's game and was surprised to see the price so high (£31).

I know that it goes up as the game comes closer but in the last few games I've been to that part of the stadium is never full and more often than not (against Derby particularly) there are lots of empty seats. There are a lot available for tonight, must be over half the seats.

Surely if the ticket prices are 'demand' based then it should dictate that until demand increases these seats will be in a cheaper bracket or am I totally wrong?

Also, COME ON CITY!

The week or so before the Derby game I was able to purchase 4 adult tickets (between Ninian & Canton) for £96/£98. Its well advertised if you buy them early you will get them considerably cheaper.

It's not rocket science.

I know that but my point is that if the scheme is truly demand based then the lack of demand would surely see cheaper prices? I'm fed up of seeing that corner so empty, surely if the system works we would have some cheaper prices, bigger attendances and maybe even a better atmosphere too!

There has to be a limit on price and time.

If they were permanently cheap what would the incentive be for buying season tickets or buying your tickets a couple of weeks in advance?

Touh one this, I agree with both sides of the argument.

On matchday with so many empty seats left, I'd sell them for a £1 if it meant getting rid of them therefor filling the stadium and bringing in some cash(albeit a minimal amount).

A good idea but don't you think all would soon realise there would be these tickets available for every game?

Perhaps a good idea would be to invite clubs, workplaces etc very cheap tickets a few days in advance?

It would have to be managed very carefully, but even along with your idea it would only take a little work to make it work properly.

Empty seats are no use to anyone, that's for sure.
