Found it confusing at first, but now it sort of makes sense...i think!
By the way, in this 'category 3' should the prices not be higher in the west stand than the south?
£28 for a prime-time adults seat? Ouch, glad i got my season ticket, which is a 17-20 and there's no mention of that price band on there.
Think some may find it difficult to understand.

It's the most confusing thing I've read in ages. Imagine someone who has never bought a ticket for a game reading that lot.
Apparently now you have to have a degree in cryptography to buy a ticket.
Make it simpler for fook sake. Are we trying to scare people away?
Why not class the games as Gold, Silver, Bronze like every other club in the entire universe does?
Sadly another shocking example of how we can't market ourselves out of a paper bag.
The positives: Fantastic that prices for less appealing games have been slashed. Good move Rovers.
Product: 8/10
Presentation: 0/10

No because if it was cheaper in the south stand then we couldn't sell the away end at the most expensive price.

If it's a Category 3 game though they're not going to bring many anyway! We'd make more from selling the home end cheap for the likes of Palace at home than having to rely on the away turnout.

I asked for an explanation and got this reply. It all makes sense now:

I don't understand what's difficult!
Check if your seat is category A or B - easy.
Check if the match is category 1,2 or 3 - easy
That's the price you pay.
What's difficult about that?

Can't really see what you are getting at? If its a cat 3 game then max price is £15 how cheap do you want it?

Where's the incentive to go in the South Stand where you can pay the same for a seat in the West Stand. They've merged two pricing categories (A&B) in one match category (3)...madness!

how many cat c games do you think there will be ?
-
When did they scrap the cheap seats in the corners?
I always though it was the following
Cat A West & East Stand (central)
Cat B North, South & West/East (ends)
Cat C All 4 corners

where u been like they stopped it last season as i think all seats were ST holders

To receive regular news informing you of the categorisation of matches delivered straight to your e-mail address please e-mail marketing@doncaterroversfc.co.uk with your name and post-code.
You'd think they'd get their own email address correct :dry:
-
Don't be surprised if category 3 prices are used for cup games.
Surely with a bit of experience and knowledge you can categorise matches now.
Anyway, things will either be done the simple way or the Rovers way !

I love it when we look down on a game with Coventry. Could only dream of such heady heights not so long ago.....

These equations, like all other seemingly difficult equations, are surprisingly easy to understand when they are explained properly:

That any easier?

Oh right. To be fair I moved out the area last year, packed in my seasonticket, and now just send me old man to get the tickets, and just stump up the cash to him.
