Priced out?

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I'm flying to Australia next Saturday so put my West Ham Ticket (block 219) on the Ticket Exchange and within 30 minutes I'd received an email from City confirming that it had been sold.

I wonder if it had genuinely been bought by a City supporter or whether City had immediately sold it to a Third Party Ticketing Site.

When I brought that up our resident happy clappers defended the club for running their very own secondary market ticket touting business.

Stockholm syndrome is fucking rife on here.

£61-£78 for an Adult ticket against West Ham, ‘Saturday, 3pm kick off’.

Are we filling an extra 8000 seats at Flexi-Gold season tickets prices, and those or higher match day ticket prices next season?

I’m assuming the club think they will?

This is the only reason I’ve kept hold of my season ticket. If/when I sack it off, the price of tickets means I’ll never go to another match again out of principle.

The Crown Jewels were sold in Palmer, Rogers and Lavia too.

Roger Palmer?

I see it's not just the top level where fans are being exploited. Tamworth charging £38 to stand on the terrace against Spurs in the FA Cup. I appreciated a rise in prices for that game would be expected but that's over double the cost of the equivalent ticket for their previous game.

This is their one in a million chance to get a decent amount of£ on the gate. Basic economics at play. It’ll sell out.

Pure Greed, they'll also get TV money too. When their fans who turn up regularly fook them off for the rest of the season, they'll be out with the begging buckets again. £25 for a standing terrace ticket for an under 10 is just wrong.

Hope their fans boycott them for the rest of the season

Spoke to my Daughter about this. For herself and 3 sons, £128. She can't afford it. Last time out, it was £40. She used to live at the house that backs on to the away end. Could watch the game from the garden/patio.

Normal crowd is about 1700.

I don’t agree with what the owner has done. I can understand why he has done it. It’s his chance to make one last killing before Tamworth get knocked out of the FA Cup. And he’s hoping that it will attract a few hundred more Tamworth match going fans for the league games. A large majority of those apparent Tamworth fans who will buy tickets have probably never been to a Tamworth match before, even though they will say they support Tamworth.

People have been saying that for years. The bubble still hasn’t burst. There are enough billionaires in the world, especially in the Middle East and America to buy a PL club, and to try and make profit from it.
