Tickets went on sale this morning at 9am to season ticket holders only.

But typical LOI robbery - I logged in at literally 9.01am and all child and OAP tickets sold out, so I had to buy both my young kids full adult tickets at 20 euros each, instead of childs tickets at 8 euros. So 60 euros spent, instead of 36 euros - a big hit.

This happens at most of the away games and very frustrating as it is clearly a money making scheme to take off the away fans.

No doubt, when Bohs list the 450 available tickets, they must list 448 x adults, 1 x OAP and 1 x Childrens.

I cannot see at 9.01am that they have have sold out of children's tickets already !

Bohs pride themselves on being a socialist leaning club open to immigrants and all walks of life. Though deep down they are no different to the others. Sadly most clubs, Derry included, do this. I appreciate the Clubs need to make ends meet but if kids genuinely want to attend matches then there should be some mechanism for them to do so without expecting their parents to pay full adult price. Not sure what the answer is but its def an issue at all grounds.

I was unable to buy just additional kids tickets for several home games this season.

So on numerous occasions I had to buy a concession ticket + a child ticket instead of 2 child tickets.

They are the fans and season ticket holders of the future, should be easier to bring kids to games.
