Title: Tickets for TT vs USA selling already..Uncovered gone up to 300..BOYCOTT
Post by: Mackie on August 19, 2009, 07:57:15 AM
Normally I does be more in Jack corner than most on these forums and I does get plenty stick for it..But this is complete nonsense..Jack realise the waggonist will come out for that game cos it will be a crucial one and decide to apply the law of economics ...
But what about men like me who going EVERY game and supporting the team right through?  Why we have to suffer and pay 300 ??? Why TTFF doh have no preferred supporters discount card or something ??
Nah I find this price increase is wickedness and I for one will be watching the game on tv. BOYCOTT.

If Jack just use some common sense he wuda sell season tickets for all the hex games, The diehards wuda buy for sure and he wuda lock in some waggonists as well (which wuda helped cus the team not doing too well)
Then he wuda been able to play with the remaining ticket prices as he wished. Steups a little innovation can go a long way Jack.

Or he coulda just jack up the price now when things getting excited and make a setta money. I highly doubt u could give jack advice when it come to taking people money.

And if u can...i very disappointed in you for not being the multi-millionaire that Jack is :devil:

Lol to be the multi-millionaire that jack is, and honest, my friend would be a paradox. I prefer to be honest.

Coop u mean to tell me that fifa stipulates that countries cannot sell ticket packages for their qualifiers. I'd be very surprised if this was true.

Do some research and see if any countries implement such package deals.  Internet will find such results easy.

I find $300 is absolute nonsense - and is not only TTFF/ Jack doing it.

Went with a huge part of the fam to the last game, and in the lead up - most of the foreign based went looking for TT replica shirts. Walked into one store with shirts for clubs that they didn't even know existed, they asked for the TT shirt and the guy said they don't sell it because no one buys it and TT sucks anyhoo.

Well last week Thursday morning, the shirts were back in stock and prominently displayed on mannequins in front of the store.

But back to this ticket fiasco.

$300 is absolute bullsh!t.

If Hunt could get 172 free tickets, I WANT ONE too.

If you could buy ticket packages for the world cup, why wouldn't you be able to sell ticket packages for the WCQ?

I believe that this is the arrangement with respect to the use of the stadium.

Remember some time ago that a tiered pricing scheme will be used for games now?

USA by their ranking is in the top tier and as a result will cost more to see that game.

I doh like the pricing either but i am not surprised based on events past. If somebody wants to search for the thread they can.

so when did this come into effect , this price scheme? Cos the game against the states last year in the semi-final round  didnt cost more... ???

I not sure of the times but i am inclined to say that the scheme was implemented at the start of the semi final round meaning the states game in HCS should have fallen within that scheme.

Bear in mind that since then the States have improved their ranking with finals of Confed Cup and Gold Cup so unless you willing to do the comparision of their rankings now and then ill stick to the logic presented.

Cheers

It real hurting me to pay 300.

But I going...why?

Cause that is the highest level of football I could witness in TT live and it is my national team playing the Mighty Concacaf Giants USA in a World Cup Qualifier in the HCS.

I go make the sacrifice and cut back on something else during the month.

I go not feel right knowing a game is going on and I home.

So jack and dem will ketch me a 300.

But...when we beat honduras the Saturday 1-0.

Stadium going and RAM OUT with waggonists!!

In addition...for paying a higher price...I expect a better performance from them fellas in the Red, Black and White. The bad pass and trotting back that woulda slide for 200...not going and slide for 300. Even though it should not occur even for free.

Also I looking at it like this...$300.

Gates opening 4:30 match finishing 10:30....dais 6 hrs.

$300/6hrs = $50 per hr.

Every hr I not in the stadium is 50$ wasting. So I going early...and enjoy mehself!

Also when yuh factor in parking, drinks and food...is about $500-600 this outing costing me.

Is it really worth it?.....but, that is the price of being a T&T fan.

highly doubt it. More like the ticket #s probably start in 7000 for the uncovered section. I would think the covered section sits about 7000 people - so maybe you're just the 738th person to buy a ticket - ie, if you're buying uncovered.

a victory at Honduras and this could be the most important match of the round for us.

A victory at Honduras and we would still be a point adrift at best from the 4th place. Playing CR at CR, and playing a Mexican team that is playing like the best team in Concacaf is too much to depend on - last thing we need is to be put in a situation like '89 and '05.

Will have to Boycott Zen, 51, Prive and band launchings instead.

Around the time of the England game last year the idea of a boycott was not entertained because Jackula/TTFF will make money anyway via TV rights....so I understand fully your point, but apparently the mafia have it set up so that either way Jackula/TTFF will make money, even if you stay home and especially if you watch it on TV....

If $200/ $500 could not pack out the stadium, I fail to see how $300/ $500 will accomplish that. I don't any amount of waggonism could accomplish a sellout even if we win in Honduras.

4 YEARS ago the Panama games were scanty but at the crucial time against Guatemala, the place get rammed with waggonists. same thing will happen again, provided we win in Honduras. I have no doubt about that.

How is it that the Jamaica middle class have no problem forking out US$75 to pay for a gran-stand ticket to see Ja play, but the Trini middle class cant afford a US$50 ticket for a similar game? How is it that the poor Jamaican farmer religiously comes up with the US$15 to go to the bleachers everytime Ja play, but the poor farmer from T&T is planning to boycot?

The fans lack passion for the sport. As a matter of fact, it seems the majority of the peeps who support football in T&T are from the middle class...in Jamaica its more a poor man's game.

I don't think is a question of not having the money. It's because we know the reasons behind the price change is not honourable and for the players. Because of our history with the Special Advisor, we are averse to filling his pockets even further for no real reason.

If we knew our hard earned money was going to the team and to the betterment of local football, it would be a different feeling as opposed to just contributing to the JAW fund. Is like a man robbing we without even pulling a gun...we just handing over the money.

That's why there is a problem with it. Because of the past history and reputation of the individual cause I pretty sure men have no problem paying $50 US to see the Soca Warriors in the USA or even $100+ in South Africa.

I do know that a whole cross section of the community does support football. The problem is the discontent with the whole TTFF. There a kinda of boycott of football. The fans go when they feel like going. No amount of promotion would drag them to the stadium. If this WC campaign had taken off on the right foot, the support would have been excellent. This campaign went "south" for the start of the blacklist. And the fans talked with their feet. Stay home. But RF, don't fool yourself. We are still passionate about the game. When things good the whole x-section society does support football. Even the waggonists.

it would be nice to hear an official reason for the increase in ticket prices, but I'm not going to hold my breath in anticipation.

If $200/ $500 could not pack out the stadium, I fail to see how $300/ $500 will accomplish that. I don't any amount of waggonism could accomplish a sellout even if we win in Honduras.

4 YEARS ago the Panama games were scanty but at the crucial time against Guatemala, the place get rammed with waggonists. same thing will happen again, provided we win in Honduras. I have no doubt about that.

How is it that the Jamaica middle class have no problem forking out US$75 to pay for a gran-stand ticket to see Ja play, but the Trini middle class cant afford a US$50 ticket for a similar game? How is it that the poor Jamaican farmer religiously comes up with the US$15 to go to the bleachers everytime Ja play, but the poor farmer from T&T is planning to boycot?

Cause dey stupid and we brighter than them.

Shhh yuh ent know nuttin bout we class structure and money across here. Neither bout who support from where. Keep yuh poor man game talk for your own piece of island.

Normally I does be more in Jack corner than most on these forums and I does get plenty stick for it..But this is complete nonsense..Jack realise the waggonist will come out for that game cos it will be a crucial one and decide to apply the law of economics ...
But what about men like me who going EVERY game and supporting the team right through?  Why we have to suffer and pay 300 ??? Why TTFF doh have no preferred supporters discount card or something ??
Nah I find this price increase is wickedness and I for one will be watching the game on tv. BOYCOTT.

Thanks very much Mackie for staying at home. I am hoping many more like yourself will follow your lead and leave football for people who could afford it. Todays footballers cant live on kfc support. For football to rise we must attract caviar supporters. Buy you box of KFC and enjoy the game on the tube. I hope you told weary about the LATEST PRICE INCREASE.

Watch meh Trinis have so much excuses it not funny.

Just say alyuh want to go the game to say that alyuh was there nah, bout it will hurt the players morale. We cyah play more shit that we already did. Sing and clapping and jumping can't make ah man recieve ah ball if he doh have the technique.

Jack will always win because we have weak minds coupled with waggonistic ideal. All of us are waggonnist cause we serve our needs. It doesn't matter if you going games since you in the womb, right is ight and wrong is wrong.

Man Up.

If you and Elan could get the masses to stay away from the game in droves.....I goh be home too....but unless it is decreed that Carnival has been banned, any mass uprising about anything else in this country will never happen....well at least not in my lifetime....

If it gives you any hope....a guy called in on I95.5fm this morning to complain about the increase in price....so unless it was a forumite that called.....there's hope after all....kinda... :-\

Point taken, but from jack POV, a true supporter going to cut out the friday evening lime for the rest of the year or the KFC for half the year and find that $100 easy, easy to give him. Is not a question of starving or going to d game.

If people living hand to mouth and they last $200 went to see the Soca warriors, Jack grateful but now he doing you a favour cause u could save that $200 you woulda spend before and sacrifice the joy of seeing the warriors live in order to get a christmas gift for the children with the extra $600 you going and save as a result of the hike in price.
