My understanding is it’s away fans only in each fixture unless I’m mistaken so that wouldn’t matter ?

And both would as both are shitholes with very little appeal other than being a supporter. No surprise Reading taking a similar stance! Blackpool will always sell more away tickets as a desirable location so makes absolute sense to maximise revenue from away fans. When I consider the total cost of an away trip the extra 5/10 quid makes little difference tbh.

I was wearing the blue striped third kit and at the exact spot you describe an old guy who looked like Steptoe pointed and asked my dad "is that a Blackpool shirt?" when my dad said yeah he chucked a wine bottle at his head that missed by an inch. That was before the game though!, remember being held back for a while after the late late winner.Yeah, I was there. Andy Preece got the winner and it left Burnley in big shit with only a few games to go. They stayed up just about.
Here's a tip for travelling to Burnley. Never wear an orange jacket. I did that night, a bad move when bumping into disgruntled locals on the corner near the lights at the cricket ground. As a couple of posters on here will confirm if they see this post
Yeah it was right around the time Ken Barlowes overwhelmed by neck veins wife went to prison in Corrie and we were singing "Oystons shagging Deidre "
Love a trip to Burnley, me, bet it'll be tasty on the 20th and legendary if we can win.

Your understanding is correct but home fans would be a tad pissed off if they still had to pay £30 with away fans paying less.
This really doesn't paint Sandler in good light, coming across as a greedy fucker who doesn't give a shit about the fans. I really thought our penny pinching days were over, this situation is really quite embarrassing. Practically every other club is agreeing to a price cap.
We've got Simon Sandler, he knows what were after? Really? We want cheaper tickets!
We should just ** boycott the game so he gets a share of zero £30's instead of 2000 X £25!

Who's Sandler?
You've never seen Waterboy or Happy Gilmore?

" Sandler " doesn't get any share of the gate money . All home clubs keep the whole income .
Even if he doesn't he's setting it up so we all get charged more for the home game including home fans, not everyone has a season ticket.

Why when you get the same reduced price when you play there? The whole point is making an away game more affordable, I’m happy with that

If everyone bought a season ticket and didn’t manage every home game would probably work out cheaper than paying £30 a game
Season ticket costs
£369 = £16 a match x23
£369 = £25 a match if only attend 15 games
Single matchday ticket x 23 = £690
Single matchday ticket x15 = £450
I appreciate a lot can’t travel to every game but makes sense to buy a season ticket if you can doesnt it

Blackpool adult at Burnley - £30
Swansea adult at Blackpool - £29
Blackpool adult+U18 at Burnley - £48
Swansea adult+U18/U12 at Blackpool - £42/£38
It's not necessarily our club that's overpriced. It's more about banding. They're encouraging kids/families.

This policy of rejecting reciprocal price reductions is hugely disappointing
We discussed at length on the podcast last night ( from around 75 mins as I recall )
The decision-makers need to give their head a wobble as we are pricing people out of travelling away who are the heart of our club and when we have many of the poorest wards in the UK
If we are intent on continuing this policy of charging top prices to away fans ( which I fundamentally don't agree with ) we need to creatively compensate the fans travelling away to try to soften the impact
My suggestion last night was a voucher equivalent to the discount forfeit by the policy ie £5 for Burnley and £10 for Reading to be spent at BFC shop / on the concourses etc
Not ideal but it's something

This policy of rejecting punctuation is hugely disappointing too.

Can someone with some clout raise about the high pricing etc at the next structured dialogue meeting?
