Most liked posts in thread: Season Ticket Options

Trouble is we have a stadium with plenty of space, losing a seat probably won’t be that big of an incentive to some, me and my mate have already renewed, but why can’t we view away games on there when someone paying £40 less sees all 46 games. Due to no away travel for probably the entire season, I think away passes need looking at or people will just find a way round it.

 

So 3 out of our group of 5 have said they would probably give next season a miss. I am undecided and not spoken with the 5th. Chances are the 5 of us will give it a miss.

Too much hassle, only been able to see half the games for price of a full ticket, no atmosphere, masks I presume and just no enthusiasm at all for the season in general

 

Forgive me if I'm missing something here, but how is it going to cost double?

'With strict social-distancing measures and COVID-19 restrictions set to remain in place for the foreseeable future, the club has formulated a potential package which would enable supporters to catch each of the Bantams’ 2020/21 Sky Bet League Two home fixtures - for no more than £150'.

 

I've never understood the ''Thats my seat brigade'' have they not seen the amount of empties around VP

 

no. if you've already bought you'll be allocated a claret or amber membership. nobody will be able to choose.. the club has to do it this way to have even numbers in each group. imagine 10,000 all randomly opted for the same membership - would be a nightmare for the club.

 

Is it one game claret, one game amber...? Depending on how the Tuesday games fall throughout the season it might be imperitive for some to ensure they're either claret or amber. Plus, one group might get much better fixtures in their half. There'll be a lot of moaning when the matches your ticket allows you to be at are all apparent

 

The clubs explanation on the link is a bit confusing tbh.

I can’t see much appeal to it on face value, where will the atmosphere be, piped crowd noises and zero atmosphere/interaction.

I would be pushing the online pay per view options really hard at season ticket prices perhaps even with free pass to the 50 percent games, I could see it being really popular as an alternative if done properly.

VP is gonna be seriously empty I can’t see a lot of take up to be there in person unfortunately.

 

Due to shielding I may want to keep my seat for this season (paid) but watch the games on iFollow

 

Half a season or half a home season or 12 matches, its a long statement full of confusion when it could have been made a lot simpler with a bit more thought

 

I have decided to wait for the full details to be provided before making a decision. I accept the proposal for what it is at the moment. A proposal that is making the best of a bad situation and I fully support the announcement to make the fans aware that something to provide a solution is being made behind the scenes.

 

For me, iFollow depends on 3 factors here.

1) The 3pm blackout needs lifting. Was lifted for the back end of 2019/20 but is in place for 20/21. UEFA and FA have to approve its suspension, which im sure they would.
2) Sky Sports are rights holders for all EFL fixtures. Therefore they will have a say on how this works. IE the midweek games last season, all on iFollow unless Sky pick it for TV.
3) The revenue split is 20/80% which clearly would need to change.

People would need to lower their expectations too. A single camera, possibly no comms? Its not Super Sunday isn't it. Unless IMG who provide the feeds can invest pretty significantly, that might be the way it is. And we're less than 4 weeks out from the season now.

 

Yesterday's friendly wasn't an Ifollow game. Granted, Ifollow isn't of the same standard as games on Sky etc, but it's a lot better than what you saw yesterday.

 

That's just pointless as we know because fordy has already decided its not happening.

 

Mick Shackleton phoned me regarding my refund last week and I asked him the same question about my seats. He confirmed everyone will retain seats for the 21-22 season or whatever date the stadium fully reopens.

 

Reading that one person can buy for up to 6 people for a social bubble and you will all be placed in either claret or amber.

 

How the feck can the ticket office know of every one of our friends or family circumstances...just go with what's offered and hope that we can get back to normal 2021/22

 

As I can watch all 23 games on my computer regardless of having a claret or amber ticket, I think I will be getting one purely for that.

As for the experience on match day, it sounds dull and bland and more like turning up to a lecture than an event to enjoy. I know hands are tied but I do not see us being able to attend games until November at the very earliest, as when the kids go back in September and the state of Bradford's handing of the virus this far, I have no doubt further lockdowns will be imposed and Bradford will be caught up in it all again.
