Sneaky increase in ticket prices

[Centurions]

Are they just bog standard tickets at £70?

They are, it's either £68 or £70 a ticket anywhere available with a small handful of blocks at £75.

Edit: tell a lie, it's £85 for 209, 210 & 221.

Sadly there are day trippers who will spend a fortune in the club shop. These tourists are more profitable to the club than fans who have been supporting the club for a life time.

It's what our owners have wanted since day one of being here, sadly. Khaldoon gives it the big "our local fans matter" bollox every end of season speech but the match day tickets and SCs have gone up every season bar one when prices were held. The sad truth is they care more about attracting wealthy new fans instead of of looking after long standing working class diehards. And all are welcome in the swanky corporate seats providing one has the right cut of cloth and deep enough pockets.

I do try to put match tickets in the context of what club nights/gigs/other premium events in Manchester cost, but the cheapest adult ticket for Spurs being £68 is way too high. It's one thing for Kendrick to be charging that for a show at the arena, but he's one of the biggest stars on the planet and he's not asking people to turn up again 3 days later. It's another case of me hoping they don't sell out, but it will be there or thereabouts and then it becomes hard to argue against their pricing from a purely business perspective.

SEVENTY quid for a matchday ticket in the North East corner for Spurs now. Prices like that, coupled with few new STs being released, will kill us as a fanbase as young Manchester families will be totally priced out of going regularly. You'd hope that City will continue to price games more affordably at the beginning of the season and keep Cat C games priced on earth, but that's still going to pose a problem for fans without STs who can't afford to buy all their games upfront before the season. Frightening.

I could probably afford it but wouldnt pay it. cup games for me now which I think are still decent value

Been an issue for last ten years prices however doesn't seem to have affected crowds to be fair as the teams doing so well so why wouldn't they fleece us for all we have any other business would and thats what they are at end of day

Where the club really makes a killing is Ticket Exchange. I can't get to the Everton game so I sold my seat on TE. Where I sit that will no doubt have gone to an adult for more than 3 times my seasoncard averaged out refund. Plus, if its a wealthy tourist they'll also get the club shop income too. Not complaining, just commenting.

I do the same pal when comparing ticket prices. I completely understand the club needs to operate a profit and I'm happy to spend up to a certain amount but £68 is taking the piss when as you say you have another home game to attend in a few days. On top of £68 there is then the cost of travel and a couple of beers in the ground.

Sadly, plastics who've been on the scene for 5 minutes and spend £££ in the club shop are the target audience for the club now. I saw one pillock in the Colin Bell stand for Brighton home wearing an Arsenal shirt.

Is yours a single seat for sale on its own? What’s always put me off the TE is my perception that’s it’s people returning individual seats.
I’m a citizen member and go plenty of times across a season but unless it’s exception circumstances I wouldn’t be interested in going on my own.

Oh no, Pele RIP :-(((

I don't.
Whats the justification for the increases?
They are taking the piss out of us fans - or
should I say 'they are maximising the moneytization of their customer base'?

I suspect they're applying some sort of dynamic pricing. Higher the demand, the higher the price. Great if it lowers prices when demand is low but not so good when it means prices go up. I think we're the only PL club who do that.

Even united, not known for their propensity to willingly give up the chance of a few extra quid, charge the same price for a seat regardless of the opposition. So you pay the same whether it's Southampton or us/Liverpool.

My lad can’t make Saturday (U18’s) and gets about £9.50 back for his match ticket, if that gets sold to an adult (no guarantee I know) at the advertised £57.50 then thats some mark up!

No way I'll be able to afford to renew next season
