jq urz 00.57 update - more tickets seem to have appeared in both tiers
i agree the banding levels are far too extreme, the obvious thing would be to bring the banding down by 200 points every few hours - but whatever the club do it's a tricky one to judge given our average away following and the need to sell all tickets in a couple of days
still much better in my book than the old days of trying to get through on the phone to elm park
Who created that need to sell all tickets in a couple of days? Why were the club not able to get the tickets on sale by last Friday?
As for average away following, that is where the club started to mess things up. A quarter final tie to a real glamour club in a new(ish) stadium and ticket prices for adults starting at £15. As the finance ads say - 'past performance .........'
At the end of the day, with tickets so cheap, the club should have taken a gamble on taking more tickets and having to pay Man City for those not sold. That's assuming they couldn't have struck a deal with City for a second bite at the cherry if required.
With regards to Elm Park, despite having to operate out of a wardrobe, I'm not sure those running things then could have done any worse!
As for communication from the club, new day, presumably new website space quota (if that excuse really was offered), and nothing whatsover on the website that I can see. Nice to see those responsible for communications are up nice and early, into work and communicating!
