Arent they for a limited area in W1/W2 though, so if its sold out, what do they expect leaving it so late?

Maybe they are but floating supporters dont tend to buy tickets in advance do they?

Interestingly i was chatting to a colleague at work who goes to the odd game with family, he went to the ticket office on the Thursday before the derby to get tickets only to be told there were no family tickets left at £50 and would have to pay over £80. He refused and didn't bother and also said there were a few more people in there who also declined tickets because no family tickets available. Think Mr Pearson needs to sort this out because it is lost revenue and it was hardly a sell out.

As Hutchie says, the family tickets for £50 are restricted to W1 and W2. If those sections are sold out, they're sold out. When the South Stand sells out no one expects the club to offer £19 tickets elsewhere in the ground, do they?

I was just looking at the empty seats in the ground and thinking maybe the club could be doing more to get bums on seats simplez really. Bit daft watching people turn away with so many seats available.

So they should just drop their prices because the stadium isn't full? You don't really believe that, do you?

No i dont i believe us passholders should pay double...dont patronise me i was making a valid point.
Example challenge cup KC 16 quid...Craven park 10 quid. bums on seats means more money.

Except that in our case that isn't necessarily true due to the nature of our deal with the SMC.

Craven Park is a shitheap. If you want to pay a tenner, go there.

And add to that the fact that it makes astoundingly poor business sense to start cutting prices for the game that is likely to attract the biggest attendance of the year without any incentives.
