Two big home games next 2 weeks we need your support. Now is not the time for division, negativity and abuse. We need to be together and passionate.
Stoke and Oxford declined cheap ticket deals because they want our stadium empty.
They will fear a full passionate city stadium
Can an away team decide how much we charge for tickets? I know theres reciprocal arrangements in cup games but Ive never heard of this for league games.

If we don't win those two games, it very much will be
I believe, if we offer our fans a discount, the same discount has to be applied to the away team .
Not 100% sure, but I think it’s been mentioned in the past
That's my thinking too. Theres every chance it is the key game of the season, arguably the most important game of the last 3-4 years snd we are being offered half price tickets.
🤷
Yes Im aware of that. But surely we dont have to ask their permission to lower our ticket prices.
Maybe Oxford have already sold their quota !
School holidays start Friday, we could really do with an offer to bring a mate for a tenner or something….
Not a thing Ive heard of re. League games. That rule would mean things like kids for a quid, season ticket holder bring a mate etc would all need approval from the visiting club. The rule that away teams had a percentage of the gate money is long gone. Just checked, according to EFL rules, there is no obligation to consult with the visiting club and a club can offer local promotions on four occasions per season, when they can offer discounted prices. Has there been any other local promotion games this season? I dont know.
Couple of promotions on "pie and a pint for a 5" or whatever, but I'd like to think that didn't count!?
Kids for a quid v Watford I think?
I specifically Googled ticket prices
Seems hard to believe, why would any away team ever agree to disadvantaging themselves?
First time Ive ever heard of this being a thing too.
I struggle to believe it too. I assume they can raise an objection to it and there's a gentleman's agreement that if that's done then the home club won't go ahead with it?
This is more proof that we need to clear out the dead wood at the club.
What I can believe is if we lower home tickets, away tickets have to be lowered too. Due to the EFL rules about home/away tickets being priced the same for equivalent views.
And if that is the case, I can believe the club twiddled their thumbs for long enough and decided on cheap tickets after Stoke and Oxford fans had already paid full price, meaning WBA was the only possible game.
It’s simple to Google it, the EFL ticketing procedure is explained.
I couldnt believe the ruling on this either. Another team/business imposing restrictions on how you trade. Thats what it boils down to and in what other industry would anything like that happen?
But thats football for you.
But surely this needs revisiting now that every game is televised, which is clearly hurting attendances.
The ruling is ‘The away club has no say in the home club’s pricing and the home club is not legally obligated to consult them’. The home club are obligated to charge away fans the same for equivalent areas of their ground except four 4 occasions in one season where they’re allowed to offer ‘local promotions’ on ticket prices. I’m not aware of the City using the ‘local promotion’ option yet this season, I may be wrong but if I’m not, we’re still allowed to drop prices for 4 home games regardless of opposition.
the game against Watford was kids for a quid with a fully paying adult in December
would be a good option for the last 3 games me thinks
A few cannot bizarrely, if we dont beat Stoke and Oxford and we go down Im going for a whopping 6281 crowd for West Brom, amazing initiative from the club to get those 23 fans paying half price in.right out of the Donald Trump tariff book of economics
As I said I wasn’t aware if we’d used one of our 4, as you point out we’d used one. Should be a no brainer to use our other 3 allowed ‘local promotion’ options, certainly for the bank holiday game. Perhaps our club’s hierarchy don’t use Google to find out EFL rulings
As if the club couldn’t do a walk up deal on the day…total BS as ever….im sure Wayne Nash will be frothing over the away fans a usual with a free pint, food and massage as they walk in…..
The Answer to most administrative bullshit down the club is Wayne Nash.
I bought six kids at the Watford game but they are costing me a fortune to feed.
