Online Tickets are now being sold on the official website for an area called 'Additional East Terrace'. Great. um, but they are £22 adults, £13.50 concessions and a whopping £12.50 for children. well, let's be honest, when we thought the club were being very clever by deciding every early to only give Alfreton 100-odd seats and keeping the 'away' terrace free for us, did we honestly expect that almost a month later they would then sell the 'away' terrace at the same price as of seats with the best view in the house (i.e. East stand / Dribuild) I hope it's a mistake but are clearly available AND you can click on them and get through to payment details. I haven't gone further of course; as the old tabloid reporters used to say when entrapping a Tory MP with a call girl, 'I made my excuses and left'.  |

I got mine for £16 last week. This has to be an error as I don't even think Toni would be that stupid.
I think someone at the club has mistakenly used the East Stand price bracket.

What strikes me about this post is that the club intend to shoehorn everyone into the ground (and there's nothing wrong with that by the way, as long as it's legal), and maximise income on the day (and for that they're to be applauded, so long as it's reasonable charges), but I wonder what the officially declared attendance will be?
As regards the pricing for the game, I would have thought that it would be an ideal scenario for the ground to be filled to bursting point, and to achieve that it may be necessary for Toni Wattola to put away his abacus for the day.
But then again I'm not an accountant.

What is the normal all-ticket price £18.50?
Not sure how they can charge more for the 'additional' (away enclosure) Terrace than what it would cost normally

I was very pleasantly surprised when the tkts for Alfreton AFTER being made AT were the same as before being made AT - i.e. you do still get the £2 early bird discount. I had assumed they would have risen after being made AT, but shop said that it was still same price as it had not been AT from the start. So, in this case it should be £16, but if it had been AT from the start it would be £18 as you can't get an 'early' ticket. |

But then again I'm not an accountant. Completely with you on this one on every point (other an accountant, you may be lying). There will be 12,000 plus, crammed in like sardines, with a declared attendance of 10,500 to 11,000ish.
If I had not already got tickets I would pay £22 - although it sounds like an error.
Please let us be promoted that day, please.

Must be an honest error? Or punishment for those waiting for this weekend to pass before deciding whether to buy a ticket???  |
