Two £90 tickets ended up costing £432 on viagogo.... at least dick turpin had the audacity to wear a mask! Robbing Bar stewards! I bought 2 Lucky Dip Tickets for the Stones: £35 each I've got Lucky Dips for all 8 dates of the UK Tour. They were £31.75 each for the Coventry gig. Viagogo are a bunch of thieving bar stewards. Don't touch them with a shitty stick unless it's the last few days before a show and they sh1t their pants and drop their prices like a brick.

Strachsuit Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 No update from the club on the first week of sales? Wonder how things are going and what the uptake has been on the club's request for early renewals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Still unsure to be honest, the odd isolated game apart, there has been very little entertainment the past two seasons.

gowestjambo Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Regular Season Ticket holders will renew regardless. However, whether we hold on to the same numbers as last season is doubtful. There was a feelgood factor at the start of last season, which certainly does not exist now. Lets face it the product on the park is woeful, and a percentage of our fans will be influenced by this. As we have increased capacity fans can pick and choose a lot of games. If this is the case the club have no one but themselves to blame. Hopefully, from now on there will be increased focus on the team performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 You can see there is a tail off in attending matches by season ticket holders deeper into seasons when the entertainment factor is poor, this has to have an effect on other match day sales like catering and can also sow the seeds of doubt when renewing is considered. We need to see some good football played through to this season's end to make sure we keep the bulk of this terms sales for next season. Positive play on the pitch is what the club need to show as blind faith by us will not last for ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renewal Period: 21st March – 2nd May: Supporters who wish to renew their existing season tickets must do so during this period, otherwise the seats will be released for resale. If you wish to renew but also wish to move your seat, you should still renew and you will then be given the opportunity to request a move during our transition period. Transition Period: 3rd May – 9th May: Fans should contact the Ticket Office to request a move. General Sale: 10th May - Onwards: Tickets go on general sale, subject to availability.

On topic, I don’t have a season ticket because of where I live and only get to a handful of games a season. My main way of supporting the club is via my FoH donations - I’ve been a member since the start. Off topic, Lucky Dip tickets are something the Stones introduced 5 years ago, to fill gaps in venues due fo their ludicrous OTT obscene prices. For the U.K. dates, they were £30 + fees per ticket for each show and sales were enforced in pairs. Lucky Dips went on sale in the general sale in the U.K. without being announced beforehand and were sold out within an hour.. The deal is that you turn up at the Lucky Dips Office on showday and hand over ID and proof of purchase. You are then handed a sealed envelope with 2 random tickets which could be anywhere in the venue, good, bad or ugly. The slower selling the show, the better the tickets are likely to be and vice versa. Live music for Top international acts is an absolute rip off and Lucky Dips are a way of circumventing that, at least in the case of the Stones. As for Viagogo, stubhub, Getmein and Seatwave (the last 2 are both owned by Ticketmaster), I just detest them. They are shameless profiteering immoral parasites of the highest order. It’s not only live music that’s been infected by their poisonous influence. They hoover up tickets for Top EPL football clubs and the same for Gridiron and Baseball in North America. They can be useful when the clock runs down to showtime when they always cave, shit their pants and cut prices drastically, often far below face value to avoid a 100% loss. There will be great bargains to be had, particularly at slower selling shows like Cardiff where they’ll probably end up giving tickets away free with packets of cornflakes to fill the 74,000 capacity Stadium.

Thanks very much for the detailed reply, much appreciated. I just assumed ticket prices were sky high as this was a way artists got their main revenue these days due to folk getting music for free or cheaply over the internet. I agree with your sentiments on the online ticket sellers though, it's absolutely shocking. Back on topic, l too donate to Foh as that's the only way l can regularly give something to the club and can make some sort of contribution. I don't blame you if you don't have a season ticket as you live so far away. Thanks again for your reply. All the best Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
