The Pedaler 149 Posted March 1, 2014 "Tickets From £17" - it says on the front page relating to the Coventry fixture (and the same principle will apply to the rest) It's very unfortunate that this is somewhat misleading, because click on the "get tickets" button and you are offered up a page with all the discounted ticket prices. In other words, it's not "From £17" at all. £17 is the maximum price. The problem is, if you are a pensioner, or a student, or under 16, you may never find out that the cheaper options apply because your expectation, reading "From £17" is that the prices will be £17 and upwards. A bit of an own goal I suspect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted March 1, 2014 Why would anyone bother to buy tickets in advance for Sky meetings? There's always plenty of room because lots of fans stay at home and watch on T.V. Am I doing something wrong because I can't see any discounts so what's the point? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ch958 2,393 Posted March 2, 2014 actually when i saw the topic i assumed tickets were going to be free or at least heavily discounted would look much better if the stadium was full (er) already being paid by Sky so not really losing out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,632 Posted March 2, 2014 I wonder if Sky will keep any ticket money they get (?), to help offset the 'televised meeting' costs!?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugwash 3,208 Posted March 3, 2014 I suppose with an advance ticket you'll still have to queue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted March 3, 2014 I suppose with an advance ticket you'll still have to queue. Unlesss Tracks have a dedicated Gate for these Tickets (which I doubt) - I would guess the answer to that is a resounding YES!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodgy 976 Posted March 4, 2014 Would expect a ticket purchased in advance entitles you to use the season ticket gate, otherwise as Gemini states, what's the point. Problem with discounting is potential conflict with season ticket holders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triple.H. 1,981 Posted March 4, 2014 Maybe Sky have a formula for working out average attendances Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted March 4, 2014 Apparently there is a catch - if the visitors are Poole the ticket only guarantees the viewing of ten heats. Nice one rmc. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chewbacca 653 Posted March 5, 2014 There's always plenty of room because lots of fans stay at home and watch on T.V. Not at Berwick there wasn't. I was pleased I'm 6'5" or I wouldn't have seen that epic Diamonds victory such were the throngs at Shielfield.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
