Coventry City is facing criticism from some fans for their plans to ensure the Family Zone at the CBS Arena is more consistently full in the upcoming season. The club has also announced a new Ticket Exchange system for supporters who can’t make certain matches, further sparking controversy among supporters.
While some fans are demanding a reconsideration of the club’s decision, stating that the owner Doug King has “missed the mark,” others believe the changes are fair. The club has explained that around 1/3 of Family Zone seats are left unused each matchday, denying other fans the opportunity to enjoy the area and support the Sky Blues.
In response to this issue, the club is modifying the terms and conditions of Family Zone Season Tickets for the 2024/25 season. Fans who cannot attend a match in the Family Zone must utilize the Ticket Exchange system, with consequences for repeated non-compliance. Owner Doug King defended the changes, emphasizing the importance of engaging with the club’s growing youth section.
Despite these explanations, some fans remain dissatisfied with the new policies, citing concerns over the frequency of midweek games and the impact on families with young children. The club’s efforts to boost attendance in the Family Zone have sparked debate among supporters, reflecting differing perspectives on the issue.
