Crazy Ticketing

Next week, I’m going to an evening match at Portman Road on Tuesday and the following week it’s the Norwich match on the Thursday.

Unless I want to spend forever in Ipswich before the match because of ticketing restrictions, I can’t use a cheap ticket on any train out of London after 16:30.  Which means that I end up in a town with no decent gluten-free restaurant, with nothing to do until kick-off time.  There are some nice things to do in Ipswich, but I’ve done them all.

It was suggested to me by the ticket staff at Liverpool Street, that as  I indicated I could profitably travel to Cambridge or Bury St. Edmunds, that I could save money by taking a return to Bury St. Edmunds and then breaking my journey on the way back.

How many fans will see the crazy midweek prices and not go by train at all?
