Chelsea Boycott

[rebus]

Put the line in the sand right here and now. If we accept these prices then we will have to take this kind of crap forever. Don’t attend.

 

[johndub]

You’ve got me thinking!

Will have to get this in many groups and just not here for it to really happen and club to take notice

We put up with crap food and drink at premium prices and that is unlikely to change, what makes you think this has legs. I hope you are right. I can see lots of Chelsea in home areas at this game.

But they go on sale today. The club is an utter shambles behind the scenes. Broken Brentford yet again.

Looks more like testing the waters then an error.

This is becoming far too common.

 

[rebus]

Trying to charge 70 year olds £50 for a ticket in some areas. Absolutely disgusting.

 

[Bridge Bee]

So do we buy today and hope we pay a lower amount, or is it being sorted before tickets go on sale this arvo?

Feels like we’re trying to come up with a new shambles every match!

This is the same as every category A league game though? Ie the same as Chelsea in the league, Man U and Liverpool too etc.
Are you outraged because season ticket holders aren't being protected from the expensive match ticket prices that members have to keep paying this season?
Or because it's Christmas?

edit - apparently the boycott was a success already. well done everyone.

fair enough. However its the quarter final of one of the 3 premier competitions against the European Champions. I for one do not want to miss it. I have waited decades for the kind of games we are now experiencing and I will never get used to it nor do I want to.

 

[hanworthbee]

Not paying £30 either rip off....

On that basis any cup game against PL opposition is a nuisance and a duplication. Like others I am more than happy to pay £15 on top of my travel and hotel. Personal choice but I will not have a special season soured for me by all the bitching and moaning going on.

 

[Guildford Bee]

Not paying £30 either rip off....

What would you consider a reasonable price?

Personally, I think £30 is at the high end of what's acceptable.

 

[the beast]

i thinks that fair tbh

That’s fine but the bitching and moaning as you so put by some has saved some fans a lot of money in the long run.

Not many people can afford to spend on a hotel for the game either.

 

[BEEcool]

£40 would be a p*ss take but personally think £30 seems about right.

 

[rebus]

If away fans don’t have to pay £30 for tickets I don’t think we should have to either, but we all blindly let it happen.

pretty reasonable and set prices for all of the cup games so the fans know what they will have to pay instead of us who send out a price list and then change it because imo they were dipping their toe in the water to see what the reaction would be on this occasion the water was too hot and their toe got burnt

the person in charge of the ticket office should be removed from his post pronto it has been a fiasco all season

Fully transparent. This is what we need to see.

Ok but people would have complained if we had charged £25 for Forest Green and for Oldham…

Good, well done.
Each make their own decisions on where they spend their money.

But that is the luck of the draw we could of drawn Man Utd Liverpool and City

Not in the 2nd round we couldn’t…

I’m intrigued to know how whoever is in charge of ticketing has kept their job after the repeated fiascos all season so far. And it’s only November.

Incredible. Just incredible.

I think a fair few may be in this category, but as a member can't say I would've paid the same as I did to watch the league game as I'd be very surprised if either sided fielded full teams, regardless of it being a cup QF

 

[rebus]

Not in the 2nd round we couldn’t…

Yes, so there needs to be a refinement. Second Road £10 for adults and £25 for third round onwards. If this is agreed before the season then there is no ambiguity.

This could be a comms error, not the ticketing guys.

The person in charge of the ticket office would not have set the prices. The issue is this:

Were they dipping their toes in the water with the earlier announced prices or was this a genuine cock-up.

you mean another genuine cock-up.

 

[LingfieldBee]

Don't see the problem with £30. It's fair. We charged less for the earlier rounds. This is a QF of a national cup. I think more than enough people will be okay with that.

 

[TOXIC BEE]

For a game that will likely go on sale to all members, only charging £10 would make this game heaven for all the ticket touts.

 

[Herbert]

So do we buy today and hope we pay a lower amount, or is it being sorted before tickets go on sale this arvo?

Club should stop sales before they start now. And review th bleeding obvious

 

[bracknell_bee18]

The issue was it wasn’t £30 when first released it was between £40-£50 and only now have they dropped the prices.

Given that @hobbsy posted last week he expected prices to be in line with Cat A games I suspect the former

 

[Banana]

Is this boycott still on, and does it include Sloane Square? Thanks.

 

[Herbert]

Ok but people would have complained if we had charged £25 for Forest Green and for Oldham…

Doesnt matter who the oppo is, its th round your in.
And as much as it may be a QF, those prices arent justified.
What were they planning to charge if we progressed further

 

[rebus]

I am happy to boycott Sloane Square.

 

[Banana]

I am happy to boycott Sloane Square.

Including the Peter Jones store

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

Wouldn’t Chelsea need to agree the prices so we can’t quickly change them w*lly nilly?
