£56 for home games

[mcfcliam]

being a critic of the southampton prices, credit where it's due the qpr ones are fantastic.

It says 'from £20'.

It'll be the same I imagine.

 

[SWP's back]

I praise those who can pay this every 2 weeks, (or more or less). I'm one of those who can't afford this as with my lad and daughter in tow, it would be best part of £100 just to get in, let alone anything before/during/after.
As my old CDT teacher used to say, 'you don't get owt for nowt'.

This in the point I was making way back earlier in the thread, fans will attend less matches or simply stop going, not because they don't want to but because they can't afford to. I honestly thought the plan/project would see prices go down and a new 90-100k stadium built, with the best team, trophy's and 90-100k each week we would be the biggest show in Europe, charging 50 odd quid v Southampton because you can is a bad strategy imo. Sure it's sold out, but the plan should be to build the match going fan base and to build a big stadium now, there is simply no need for these prices when the majority of revenues come from sponsorship, shirt sales and tv rights.


The notion that these prices are justified by the team or anything else is modern fan thinking, I won't pay over £100 for 2 adults and a kid, it's 90 mins of football and it's a joke, footballs lost it's mind and so have some supporters.

good post

Some won't and some will.

I wouldn't pay that for 90 minutes but that's why I pay 10 per week for a SC.<br /><br />-- Mon Jul 30, 2012 5:35 pm --<br /><br />

Why when Southampton was 'from £43'?

Re: !!

I wish people wouild stop saying its only a 4 pound increase. ITS NOT.

a couple of years ago games like this were priced at decent affordable prices for ordinary fans like 28 quid, 35 quid ( sven/hughes/early mancini era). Now its 56 quid if youve got four kids your looking at paying about 150 pound !!!!!!!!!!!!!! near enough- for one game what normal working average salary person is gonna be able to afford that. I fyou wanna go to a couple of games thats the cost of a season ticket.

who can agree with these prices, probably- well off, high earners thats who, not ordinary working class fans who in the main support city

btw you can blame the club they didnt have to put these prices up.

It's a 4 pound increase in the top price for a Cat. A match only those seats in EL2 and CBL2 are £56. Last season those seats were £52, the season before I think they were £48/50. Yes the Southampton match shouldn't be Cat. A, I agree on that but you have to make a direct comparison on prices with last season's Cat. A matches.

People are assuming that it is a Cat A fixture - the club has not stated what category match it is .

They have only stated the prices.

Everyone is assuming that as it's the first match of the season that it is being priced as a Cat A game .

What IF it's a Cat C game and Cat A games are going to be not £51 to £56 BUT

say £61 to £66.

After reading all 60+ pages of the thread it is obvious that there are people who would pay anything to watch City and good luck to them.

That is not the point - the point is that at the exact time that the club has finally become Champions and has gained world wide exposure they have decided to have a PR disaster.

How - by alienating the core working class supporter by pricing him/her out of attending matches.

I am glad that someone at the Club has seen sense regarding the ticket prices and the uproar that has ensued over the Southampton game.

The pricing of the QPR game seems to me a PR exercise to undo the bad feeling that has been generated by the club.

hopefully there looking at this thread to see the majority of people agree with the stupidly high ticket prices.

qpr from £20? it's a f**kin outrage my seasoncard seat is more than that per game it's a disgrace get onto the club should be at least £50

etc

So-Where are all the people slagging the club off now for the QPR price.

I bet people will CHOOSE to find the money for this one. Priced as it should be.

Southampton was always going to be dear. Champions at home - 1st game of the season.

"Slagging the club off" and suggesting prices are too high are two very different things. Too many have overinflated this discussion into saying people have been 'panicking' and 'slagging off' when in reality very little of that has gone on.

City could have set the prices at £35-40 for QPR and everyone would be content. Why do you think they've started it at £20?

 

[tregyblue61]

Prices won't be available till they go on sale Wednesday.

probably around £35 for 3rd tier then back to £51 for Arsenal!

These prices are shocking...just check out what other fans in Europe pay. The most common day tickets are 27 Euro's (21 pounds) and season tickets around the 260 Euro mark (203 Pounds!).
