yes thats expensive for championship football, and one of the drawbacks to dynamic pricing. it means its ridiculously overpriced for people who arent sure they will be able to make it until the last minute.

You have to book early to take advantage of the cheaper tickets dynamic pricing.The closer to the game the more expensive it becomes.

That's fine and i understand that, what about attract those last minute people who want to pop down or find out they don't have to work or who's mates are going and need to get a extra ticket etc then the added fee's etc

they seem to be penalising them

Excellent point. I have been caught out purchasing tickets early and then finding out those I purchased them for couldn't attend.

I think that the adult prices were £21 each when they first went on sale for Blackburn, but if you've bought your tickets early and find that you or anybody else you purchased tickets for can't make the game, the club refund you your money, so the most you should lose out on, is the booking fee charges, which I believe are only charged for online or telephone purchases.

If you buy your tickets at the ticket office, I don't think there are any charges, so the answer is still to buy your tickets early!

You don't say!!! :roll:

again, what im saying is , the ground is never full or sold out, so if people wanted to go on the day or decided late that they aint working and fancy popping down the footie, by themselfs, or taking the family, or a group of mates then they will be put off with the price and penalised . just don't think its a good setup and way of doing things

thats all, I know you should get them early, i know they are cheaper weeks before :roll:

Well if you know you should get them early, why don't you get them early?

As I said, if you can't make the game for any reason, you can always get your money back!

As for those people contemplating going closer to match time and finding they don't fancy paying the higher prices, that's their choice and the way dynamic pricing works!

BTW, you can stick your immature rolling eyes up your arse!

Can somebody please upload a middle finger smiley?

Dynamic pricing is nothing new is it? Sam Hammam introduced an "early bird" ticket pricing policy when he first took over our club, & although on a slightly different price plan, Rick Wright introduced a "pay as we play" scheme, where the ticket price was set depending on what position we were at in the league at that particular time.

i was just having a moan when the final price come up, and with the number of empty seats you'd think you'd want to attract that last minute people etc but hay ho, seems like you can't have a diffrent opinion to someone else

I'm not having a pop, but that how thing are regarding the pricing.

I think the biggest issue regarding empty seats (apart from the corporate areas), is in the family stand.

Regarding the Blackburn, & all the rest of our home games, our club could be forgiven for not expecting a Sell out for every one of them.

Better get used to it lads. Any ticket under £35 is a bargain at our level. It will be £45 (at least) for you lot to watch the game at the liberty next year.

I've never gone into Asda and picked up a tin of beans and though "f*** me these beans are too expensive, oh well I will buy them anyway." If you think something is too expensive - don't buy it, it's take it or leave it.
