Exeter away - Ticket info

I hope because of the £10 price people don’t buy tickets and not use them I think we would sell out anyway. It would be nice for the club to give fans who are attending both games a discount for Plymouth aswell.
 
£10 for an adult to watch a last 16 game, now that is value - cheaper than the 1970s in today prices (2 pints of beer)

I expect the 1,300 tickets to go on Wednesday , which should satisfy all 21,000 season ticket holders and fans that go to 6 home and away games each season. We have sold around 1,360 for Norwich.

The one issue I have with these tickets is at £10 quid more people are likely to buy for points and not go at £27 your alot more likely to attend. Hope they's still some left for those on 160

Very likely there will be - its a 675 mile round trip for an evening match.
 
If I’m lucky, and get a ticket, I’ll go.
I have been to all three previous rounds, so I can’t really miss this one!

I need at least 6-8 more match with one of them against Leicester, but I think potentially we are stronger than last season, but the next few matches will be clearer, apart from Sheff Utd we struggled away from home last season, against more stronger opponents we were usually lacking something, I feel we have more in our locker this year, obviously no Chuba, but other players 1 year on, a better goalie and potentially more ways of getting goals from different sources.

I’ll give you another wow. Stronger than last season!? I don’t see that right now. I see a purple patch that has potential to turn into a good run. I think we’ve got a long way to go until we’re close to being as good as last season. There are signs there, certainly, especially in the strength in depth but I don’t think we’ve got enough fire power.

It's funny the one ticket I hoped wouldn't be subsided would be this one, I think we could sell 2000 at normal price but this way your going to get the priority points sharks again, I just hope they don't hang onto them bet resell I can't complain because I did it for Hudds T , even though I nearly went and was put of by possible no trains after the match. I still will have another way of getting tickets.

I think this is inevitable now they can buy a ticket for a tenner. If it was £27 nobody would have bothered, but now I can see plenty of people doing it.
 
Ref where we will finish - bookies have us finishing around 7th now - behind Leicester, Ipswich, Leeds, Southampton, Norwich, Sunderland.

I kind of agree with this. We're all ****-a-hoop after Sunderland but based on the first half 11 v 11. the game could have gone the other way. We still have to play Leicester, Leeds, Ipswich, Norwich, Preston, Hull, Brum, Bristol, Swansea - all sides who've shown form too. By Christmas we'll have a clearer picture of where we stand. Defensively, we've been so poor at times, I'm not counting chickens.

So, would you prefer there was no offer?
There will be loads of tickets for Leeds.
And you and in fact many Bradford fans said lots of people would buy cheap tickets for our last cup round to gain advantage yet it was really full in the Boro end and the home crowd was there in numbers.
Surely these occasions are exactly what fans want to be part of. Exactly what they want priority points for rather than the other way around.

I didn’t say I would prefer no offer, I was answering your question as to why people would want to get Priority Points.

I know loads who bought and resold their tickets for Bradford. Hundreds were up for sale on Twitter. As soon as the tickets for this game was announced someone in my office said “great I’ll buy, resell it and get the points”.

I don’t know why you keep pretending this doesn’t happen or when it does it’s isolated cases.

We’ll get 3,000 tickets for Leeds, so I’d expect anyone with 140+ to easily get tickets. But those further down the points list than the likes of myself may not fancy their chances.

Rotherham and Huddersfield will be very high demand. I’ll be fine, but I understand why those with less than 160 points would buy an Exeter ticket with no intention of going to get a points boost.

It happens at Newcastle, my colleague bought a ticket with zero intention of going. Just to get a priority point.

So how do you reward all those travelling to Devon twice in a week?
Everyone knows there are fans that cheat the system but what they are doing is cheating on fellow Boro fans. No system you can bring in stops cheats unless we have a strict Big Brother where only the person with their name on the ticket can use it - who really wants to go down that line?
 
This wasn't the match to do a ticket offer, bad advice to the club if they took any. There will be several hundred in the south west who stand little or no chance of going who for them this match is very big as is the Plymouth match, many of them go a handful of matches so are very proud Boro fans who were looking forward to a big day out, I know I will get a ticket but that is because I went down the path of assuming I would not be getting into the away end and what could I do to ensure my access.

Of course it was the match to do a ticket offer - fans are going to be expected to travel hundreds of miles twice in a week. It is a very good gesture.

Actually, and this isn’t meant to be flippant or controversial or disparaging in any way, but why should anyone be ‘rewarded’ for travelling to a football match of their own volition?

Like people who go away to Southampton or Leeds and get walloped 6-1 and go online demanding their money back. It’s weird.

If someone is travelling from Boro down to Devon twice in 4 or 5 days then that’s amazing support and I commend it but it’s still a personal choice. Is a reward really necessary. It just ends up arbitrarily dividing up supporters into even smaller groups.
