' Upcoming Announcement by Cardiff City This Week '

Mon Jun 10, 2013 6:29 am

Announcement to be made by the club tue/wed .

There will be a lot of unhappy non-season ticket holders :shock:

Get your £40s out guys ;)


To buy a home match ticket you will need to be a member next season . membership will cost £40 and you still will not be guaranteed a ticket if demand is higher than tickets available .
There will be no just walk up and buy on the day for general sale which is designed to stop people just buying for man utd Liverpool etc .

Whats this all about mate?

Sounds like a good idea. It will stop the plastic man utd fans from taking tickets away from real supporters.

I don't know all the details yet I just know they will be using a membership system and around a £40 charge .
the more games you attend the better chance you have of a ticket I believe

I am assuming season ticket holders could buy extra tickets without paying an extra membership fee? My dad will want to go to a few games but won't want to pay a £40 membership fee. I'm assuming I can just buy tickets for him if I have a season ticket.

Last season I went to manchester with my mate for a weekend, hes a big man utd fan so I agreed to attend a game with him while the women went shopping.

To answer the question above, no you couldn't get a ticket for your dad if our club do similiar to Man Utd, I had to become a member myself to watch the game.

Do you think this membership would entitle you to buy away tickets as well? Might make it better value then and more appealing. I'd certainly pay it if that we're the case.

From your own experience, I don't see how this system will stop Man U, Liverpool fans getting tickets, if they can just become a member for the one game, just like you did? It's just another case of clubs milking the cash cow for every last drop of milk :lol:

Probably be a separate membership for away tickets. There obviously trying to get every penny out of being in the premiership. It's not like they've got £60m in TV money they still want to screw the customer, I mean fan. I don't understand the need to charge such a big fee unless they are going to keep match day prices similar to last year. I am expecting them to go up 50% at least.

Away memership is £20 has been for years, suppose the majority of these new supporters have never been to an away game tho

Good idea.

Then again if we was to extend the capacity then it would hold us back from getting sell lout crowds.

Re: ' Upcoming announcement '

Mon Jun 10, 2013 10:12 am

I'm guessing away membership will go up which I'm not surprised about and will still buy an away membership as I do every year,

A mate has a season ticket so can use some of his to watch some games in Cardiff as he ain't gonna get to em all. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

If I'm reading this correctly, this isn't away membership though. It's home membership, which is totally new.

Re: ' Upcoming announcement '

Mon Jun 10, 2013 10:22 am

I've been going for 8 years and I've never been to an away game. Doesn't interest me.

Re: ' Upcoming announcement '

Mon Jun 10, 2013 10:48 am

Renewed my season ticket, so doesn't effect me.

Bad news for those who couldn't afford a season ticket though. I suppose you can understand it from the club's point of view - they'll want to make the most of this.

It was a genuine question & one which was worth asking. Would the membership include both home & away games. Totally fair question. :roll:

It has been for the past few years, but this change could affect that price too.. Or the two could possibly incorporated.

As I said, perfectly sensible question. :roll:

Keep the insults up though, they are making you look extremely silly. :laughing6:

At what point did i say this could not change? All i said that away membership is £20 and has been for years. Close the curtains in your caravan gypo, the sun is affecting your visions ahahahahaa

You insinuated that because he asked that question, he didn't go away & insinuated that he wasn't as much of a fan as you were.

What relevance did that have to the person you were replying to. You would have only said that to insinuate that he wasn't a big as fan as you were.

It's also about 'controlling' those who want to go to (home and/or away) games...and that costs money to do ;)

Hopefully, it will avoid the 'free-for-all' syndrome that would appear for certain games at least, and give 'more regular' supporters a better opportunity to get tickets for those big games

I would be largely in favour of tickets being sold for bigger games on a 'previousl attendance' basis

Then again, it doesn't affect me because I have a season ticket; priceless! ;) :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Wish i'd never mentioned away membership now!

Bit gutted actually as I was hoping to get home for one or 2 or games this year. The extra 40 is really going to put me off i'm afriad especially because i'll be buying an away membership as well. Cant justify spending 60 quid in membrship fees.

When you word it like that, it's ridiculous that such a cost could be charged for what is basically a glorified administration fee..

I hope that the £40 being bandied around is inclusive of both home & away membership.

Goodness sake does it matter what he insinuated? Give it a break you have again turned a good thread into a pointless game of posting tennis.

Any idea if they're changing the away system?Season tickets will still be classed as away memberships too right?
