Wrexham AFC faces backlash over ticketing changes that upset loyal fans
Instead of selling tickets individually, they’ve bundled them in groups of three for upcoming matches. This might seem like a small thing, but for many fans, especially after the holiday season, it’s a real hit to the wallet.
Imagine a family of four wanting to catch a game together. They’d have to shell out between £180 and £198 just to sit together for three matches. That’s a lot of cash, especially when you consider the crunch game against Birmingham City coming up.
Sure, some folks might think they can just pick and choose which games to attend, but let’s be real—most fans want to see all the action. One dad even shared online that he and his daughter can’t make it to all three games now, and that’s just heartbreaking for him.
This ticketing move feels like a misstep, especially after the club had to backtrack on a fan zone charge that didn’t sit well with supporters. Reynolds and McElhenney have done amazing things for Wrexham since taking over, helping the team rise through the leagues and giving back to the community.
But sometimes, it seems like the decisions from the top don’t quite match the good vibes they’ve created. Fans are now calling for the owners to step in and fix this ticketing mess.
When they first took over, they promised to uphold the community’s values and keep communication open. But with this latest ticketing strategy, it feels like they’ve missed the mark.
Wrexham has a working-class fanbase, and the club has been working hard to support local kids in need. So, making it harder for fans to budget for tickets just doesn’t sit right.
Plus, the club didn’t really explain why they made this change, which goes against their promise of transparency. It’s not too late for Wrexham to rethink this unpopular decision and show they’re listening to their fans.
If Reynolds and McElhenney want to keep the good vibes going, they need to keep the supporters at the heart of their plans.
