Liverpool game is on SKY

[Irvinchangeyaname]

I'm on hols so can watch it in a Sleezy Portugese Bar

I'm now regretting opting for the remote gite in Brittany

Let's not forget that the pricing is set jointly by the two clubs, so it's not just down to RFC to decide.

[RoyalBlue]

Come on Spacey - here's your chance to set up a poll on what people think would be an acceptable price & which would persuade them to buy a ticket.

Who knows, the club might even take a bit of notice?!

Why don't you do it yourself?

No time - and I thought you'd like the chance to add a couple of posts to your count! See it's got you to add two already!

fair enough, but surely both clubs would see some merit in an extra 5000 plus in the ground?

Put it another way. At £20-25, I'm tempted. Much more than £25 and there's no chance.

I refer you to my post of less than half an hour ago staing that there is no way Liverpool can justify NOT allowing reduced prices...

Indeed and IIRC tickets at Anfield for the game at the same stage of last seasons competition were priced ar £10 and 40,000+ turned up as a result. Given the smaller stadium here I'd hope for no more than double that even £15 given the game is on TV.

Cup game against Liverpool is on SKY - should help ticket sales !!

Excellent. Lots of blue shiny seats for the cameras to zoom in on.

what like with the man u cup game? that was on TV

didnt see many empties there

LOLeague Cup, on Sky, Liverpool reserves Vs Reading reserves - excellent.

Agreed! Arsenal's match at Sunderland last season deomonstrated that if you price cup games right then crowds will turn up - let's hope the clubs have the sense to see this.

Tickets for Liverpool in the cup last season were £20 for adults, so hopefully common sense will prevail and tickets will be a similar price this time, especially with the game being on SKY.

Remote gite in Brittany?? Why didn't you see me - I could have included British TV on the deal








But not Sky Sports, though

I am (seriously) hoping for the return of kids-for-a-quid with this match.

With reserve team football moving to Aldershot there's almost no opportunity for building up a younger fanbase.

Given that *most* seats will be occupied by existing STHs the club wouldn't lose too much revenue (plus there's the SKY cash) and it would be a nice gesture.

Come on Mr Howe.

Nothing on the Sky Sports site yet giving details of the live cup games .... where did you hear this?

Confirmed on OS now.

It's now on the OS, although where I heard it is another matter !

Seemed an obvious TV game as soon as the draw was made.

I have to agree - anything over £20 will be beyond the pale for this one.

Do you know if STAR will be making representations re. pricing for this fixture?

Exactly, was hoping it would be on Sky as its very rare I can get to midweek games, so this is good news

The club shouldnt charge more than £20, £25 at a push imo

Come on Mr Howe.

With a 7.45 ko and a game which could go to extra time and pens leading to a 11 o'clock ko and a midnight exit from the car park it may not be ideal for KFAQ !

The club have said they want to be more creative on pricing so here is the chance !
£20 for an adult plus a junior.
£50 for 3 adults with kids at a fiver
£150 gets you 10 adults with kids at £3

[Top Flight]

I won't be tempted to go unless its a tenner.

being on Sky and being that I'm in London, its not worth the hassle to watch our out of form, out of sorts team in a mickey mouse cup competition that is our teams lowest priority for the season.

[riverroyal]

I suppose Reading will be giving Liverpool 4,000 tickets (whole of south stand) as its a cup game

[Dirk Gently]

I'd certainly hope so. I also think that the club will be leaving themselves wide open to public criticism from everyone, including STAR, if they do over-price this match.

I would imagine they will give them 2400 as usual but not put the rest of the South Stand on general sale.

Leaves options open and then if Liverpool want the rest they can have them, but if they don't then they can be sold to locals.
