League Cup Carabao cup 3rd round - West Ham

[Manorlounger]

I don’t think I was claiming to be.

Neither did I.

Can't as West Ham get a share of the gate receipts.

23.6 Where the Home Club issues season tickets which allow holders of such tickets:
23.6.1 free admission to a match in the Competition then each season ticket holder that attends is treated as having bought a ticket at the same price as that allocated to that seat for that match; or
23.6.2 discounted admission to a match in the Competition then in calculating the amount to be included as Gross Receipts of the match any discount from the admission price shall be excluded.
23.7 Where the Home Club admits any person to the ground as part of its hospitality arrangements or to an executive box and there is no separate charge for admission, each person is treated as having bought a ticket at the highest price payable for a general admission ticket for that match.
-------------
So the club could give season ticket holders a free ticket, but would still have to work out the full price and include that in the shared receipts. So not even a notional 1/23 of a season ticket price which would be about £13 in East Stand, but whatever the price turns out to be, more like £20.

I think you may have missed my point.
Announcing, in the 1893 club, that prices were set at £39.00 for the game, no mention of normally accepted discounts was made. That demand from the general public to watch the spectacle that is OUFC versus West Ham will be higher than a normal league match had not escaped my attention. That I, as a season ticket holder who has also paid to watch the previous two rounds of this tournament, should have to fork out the full price of a ticket at the same price as that which will be expected of someone who has no allegiance to our club, somewhat irks me.
Yes, I could buy a ticket in another part of the ground and pay less. That I do not wish to do so is my choice. However, I don't see why my support should be taken for granted by the club.
But, yes, you are right, we are playing Premier League opposition and for that fact alone I should be willing to fork out any amount the club sees fit.

Compared to the cost of pay on the day tickets, the club already build in a reasonable discount when buying a season ticket so I am not sure why you feel your support is being taken for granted.

I think I'm being blind but it only mentions in person sales from tomorrow and phone sales from Wednesday. Am I right in assuming online sales will be from Tuesday as it isn't mentioned?

I think those who are panicking about when tickets are available to each group of supporters needs to remember that we're talking about West Ham here! Man City last year was a massive game, probably the biggest demand since we've been at the Kassam. West Ham should still sell out, but I can't imagine people camping out for days to get a ticket!!

Season tickets holders and members should get first bite as that's the big benefit for signing up to either. Those who have gone to previous rounds or other games this season get next bite, then the rest go on open sale. So regular fans will almost certainly getting tickets, and still with a few left for those who make it less frequently.

Anyone desperate to get a ticket earlier can surely get a membership card tomorrow morning and get first dibs from 5pm. Or hang fire a week and grab what's left.

I think season ticket holders will know the Swindon league game was in huge demand once the leagues were decided.

Good for you! I've logged onto the Ticketing site and can't see how I can buy my own seat let alone the seat of my friend who sits next to me and is in "my network".

Mine and one other has been reserved automatically but not somebody else in my network! I'll probably ring tomorrow or Thursday.

[Bigfella72]

Sorry, top right ?

 

[lodeyellow]

I'm now OK with my own but not the other one ...

Have they definitely assigned themselves to your network?
I've just bought mine and Mrs Lounger's tickets, no problem. Printed and saved to mobile as it's easier to flash a piece of A4 paper on entry. (and when getting into the upstairs bar and 1893 lounge)

I've bought tickets previously for them so assume so.

I expect the ladies in the ticket office will be able to assist. They are always very good at sorting any problems for us.
Just thinking, maybe you have to assign your other season ticket holder to yourself? I can't remember the exact process. (it's an age thing!)

 

[AbbeyOx]

anyone know if I'll be able to get 6 tickets?
the garden I look after is at a care home and 3 of the residents want to go (been fair few times over the years) and as they're in wheelchairs will need 3 carers. I'm on the database so no problem for me but wondered if I can get that many

Call the ticket office. The ladies are very helpful and if there is an option they will help. Trouble being if there are existing wheelchair users that are also season ticket holders, they will have preference. Might even be worth calling Adam or Rosy, although they deal with the commercial and corporate side of things, they might be able to facilitate something.
