£12 is a fair price and what every game should be IMO

Quote ="Bigpev"from MEN website www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... cket_offer '" So presumably this means that the people who were complaining about the entry price and saying that they/their friends would go to more games if it were cheaper will be turning out in force and bringing their friends?

Yep, if they haven't got plans yet

I've just ordered a ticket through there. as someone who never usually buys tickets online for the reds, i need advice. the ordering thingy didn't say whether the tickets are posted out or whether they will need to be collected from the ticket office before the match. anyone any ideas?

Same question from me.

£12 is a fair price to watch the ESL?
your either a set of tight gits
or salford is a very poor city

Both

You could also argue that Leigh must be a very dull and boring place if you're on here mithering about our opinion of ticket prices.

just ordered two tickets you pick them up no later than 20 mins before game at ticket office

your not wrong there pennington flash is about the best we've got.i just think if people are genuine about watching salford in the ESL they will find £15/18 out of there weekly wage packet to watch one of the best leagues in the country.
dont know if you know it,but its £140 for a ST to watch our shower and i think thats good value.
i await the jokes

It IS the case Pev, most Salfordians DO have access to a computer with internet connection.

I am only looking at the stats from the use of the Community computer at the Trust in Langworthy, but residents can not make purchases from the computer, and also research we did a couple of years back into linking up Langworthy and Seedley with a community computer system, even at a minimum £5 a month internet charge their would have been very little take up because of the costs.

and what do you take with you to pick them up?as my confirmation email dsnt state anything bout picking them up!

most likely you would give your name to the ticket office, can you imagine someone arriving at the ticket office and getting your name , pos address and number of tickets right apart from yourself.

Has this offer been publicised in the MEN or just online?

Is that based on new figures? In 2007, Salford Council reckoned about 17% of its residents had access to an internet connection. No doubt it’s risen since then.

Surely everyone has access to the Internet, aren't public library's etc hooked up these days for general public usage?

they have more computers than books nowadays

oh yeah bigpev i forgot salford was the most organized club and if i just say my name and address they will hand the tickets over!

I received a text about the offer over the weekend.

Whilst I applaud the efforts of the club isn't this another reason not to join the membership scheme?

In theory; but you have to be a member of the libraries first. Plus you wouldn't be advised to purchase anything via them, especially after the Google/China/IE6 thing recently.

However, I guess the amount of people that can now access the internet through their mobile phones has gone through the roof. Mobile optimised websites and native apps are increasingly important for us here. The club haven't been slow to realise it either; they've been championing an SMS ticketing system for years.

Yes. Even though it may only be for one game, after speaking to a couple of long-time season ticket holders yesterday, who didn't renew this year because (to paraphrase them) there always seems to be cheap tickets knocking about, I sense they feel their decision was vindicated.

YES because who else will know you have purchased this way and how many, good to see that you are already dissing the idea and coming up with problems that may not exist. What do you want, herds of Wilderbeasts running up Weaste Lane delivering the ticket to your door?
