It's not nothing, which is one of the few things I'll say in their support over this. We lost £28m before transfer profits in 2019 and we're charged by ADUG to be self-financing.The extra 1million quid (if that) the club will make by increasing ticket prices is nothing to the club and people wonder why the atmostphere is shocking. Will be full of tourists like you said

But we'll make far more money by getting to the QF and beyond and there's no doubt (because Vinny said so in his MBA dissertation) that a full crowd who are really up for it will make a positive difference to our chances of doing that.
Exactly.Not debating the increased prize money for reaching the latter rounds of the competition is important for the self sustainability of the club. However the part I've highlighted doesn't correspond with increase in ticket prices. If they want a full crowd who's up for it, keep the tickets affordable and appeal to the locals. You only have to look at the away support on Tuesday to see how much better the atmosphere can be when it's full of local blues.
Yeah I agree ticket prices are shocking but the club always does that when they know we're got a good chance of a sell out they put the prices higher piss take but it was always going to happen
You shouldn’t just accept it. That’s one of the main reasons that ticket prices keep going up and English fans keep getting rinsed.
When season ticket prices go up are you just going to accept it again ? You sound like you can afford it and it doesn’t really effect you ?
These prices are ridiculous and we are literally pricing out our core fan base from attending. It’s not right and we shouldn’t just accept it, doesn’t matter who we play.
In October 2012 group game Real Madrid at home my ticket was £40. For this game it is £35 same seat, same category and both cup scheme.
2012 under 16 was £15 - now under 18 is £10 for the same seat.
April 2016 for the Semi the adult price was £35 and 18-21 was £25 everything else being equal, now the 18-21 is £30.
The cheaper seats haven't gone up really, but I think the prices may have been more uniform in those days with less variance between stands.
I would like the prices to be cheaper, but the cheaper ones for adults have gone down 19.8% in real terms since the group game in 2012. Would be great if season tickets were the same.
Really? If you have a couple of kids your looking at around £100 that’s a third of my disposable income for one match, try selling that to your other half.Well if my life depended on it, I would find the £60 or whatever in March to go to this game.
Its 2 months until the home leg and blues are already moaning about money, if were being honest most blues can afford it.
It’s annoying that Uefa have so many seats which means relocating in the East Stand.
We are in 93:20 and we have to move for every Chumps League game as our block is taken for “Friends of UEFA” … Funny how two seasons ago those so called Friends all seemed to be Dipper fans
You are the expert when it comes to pitiful.Just hope we're still in the tie after the first leg, otherwise it could be a pitiful crowd for the return at those prices .
Well there's still 2 months to go so it's a 1/6 of your disposable income from what you said if you get paid monthly.Really? If you have a couple of kids your looking at around £100 that’s a third of my disposable income for one match, try selling that to your other half.
Not an optimist by nature Fordy ??!Just hope we're still in the tie after the first leg, otherwise it could be a pitiful crowd for the return at those prices .
Why don't you both relocate to either the Family stand or South stand and you'd get them for £72.50? Save yourself £25.£52.50 for me and £45 for my lad! Fook that.
I just added some info above. Will probably go and just hide the cost from the missus although the word 'sucker' tattoo'd on my forehead might be hard to miss.Why don't you both relocate to either the Family stand or South stand and you'd get them for £72.50? Save yourself £25.
