The £50 PL Away Ticket

Financial Fair Play = Fans Pay Funfair Prices

Three pages in and there's still not been some nobhead offering the wisdom that "it's only £1 a week", the standard battle cry of the idiotic whenever increasing/outrageous prices are mentioned.

Another £100 on your season ticket - it's only £2 a week. That's only one drink.

Another £20 on every away ticket - it's only £8 a week. Just stay in one night.

Another £300 for nothing charge on your 'membership - it's only £6 a week. Just cut down on the heroin addiction.

Another £15,000 - It's only £300 a week. Sell your house, you moaning twat!

Whilst we are at it, don't forget the old "if you want good players............." bullshit and the old "compared to Chelsea/whoever, it's very reasonable" crap.

Ticket prices throughout the Premier League and English football are a joke. Including at City. But an even bigger joke are the fans who are conditioned into seeing it as virtually some sort of badge of honour of being a 'top club' and as good as invite it with some of the above.

£50 is a joke but the spanish clubs pay more.

Would love if there was a proper boycott, but it will never happen as english football fans are too selfish.

All it takes is one club to do it, just one and the rest will follow.

You're not joking there. I've just paid £248 for two tickets for Barcelona vs Sevilla in October.

I've not done Spurs away since 2000. It's not just the cost of the tickets but also because it's not a very pleasant away day - IMO Arsenal is far better, even accounting for the recent souring of relations between both sets of fans.

I agree that ticket prices on the whole are too high in the Premier League but this is as a direct result of the kind of wages that players earn in the PL in general. I'd love to see a Bundesliga-style pricing structure but to implement something like that, most clubs would have to expand their stadiums to make it viable. Quite simply, that isn't going to happen at most clubs.

So despite acknowledging that no one has said anything like this in this thread, you're going to have a rant about it anyway?

I agree with much of your standpoint on this issue, but you're turning into a broken record!!

 

[Manchester la la la la]

already booked my travel for spurs away so I'll be going. Looking forwards to it

as for bolton, decent price for this. We should sell out

 

[Carver]

If we only sell the 1700 initial allocation for Spuds they'll sell the other 1300 to their own fans so they are not arsed what rip off price they charge away fans. I expect that QPR will be following the same allocation tricks (within the PL rules) as Spuds.

Is that price for Bolton cheaper than last year or is this only because it's upper tier. Never been to Reebok because they have always ripped us off in the past compared with Wigan & Blackburn.

 

[Bill]

its not just the 50 quid though is it, its at least 100 pound day if in london.
i will have to see how things are at each away game, its the only way.
there are some "givens" though regardless of price. mine are.

norwich
swansea
qpr
bolton
blackburn
wigan
scum.

the rest will be ad hoc depending on CL games.
neu camp or craven cottage? mmm let me think:)

Bolton was £27 lower and £35 upper last season so it's a quid dearer in the lower tier and the same price in the upper tier compared to last term. The lower tier price is good value IMO - I think Gartside has learnt his lesson from trying to rip us off in the past. So has Whelan.

We ARE cheap in comparison and our SC are affordable.

You've been stung mate, I paid €60 for a tier 1 ticket for that same fixture 2 seasons ago, bought from Barca's official website. A lot of Barca's members only go to the Real Madrid game, they sell the rest through agencies for daft money

Cheers pal, didn't even bother looking at Bolton last season, just shows what a reputation does.

 

[foley87]

if people dont want to pay it then fair enough dont.

but then dont whinge when you cant get tickets for other games

i want to be able to get your utd/chelsea/blackpool/qpr sort of games on my own ticket and the only way ill do that is by paying 47 for spurs, similar for fulham to boost my points

Good post sir

 

[craigsteel]

Sad as it may be, The prices at Tottenham are not overly high when compared to Arsenal,Chelsea, QPR and Fulham when you compare the teams against the prices. With the demand at Spurs they could charge more and I would think the tickets at WHL are hard to come by with the limited capacity.
We are so lucky we were not born QPR fans,that is joke, bought nobody and charge the earth. In the old days was a decent away but I hope they go straight back down.

How is it a good post?

It's the same drum he always bangs. Footballs "too expensive" and if you don't agree then you're a nobhead. Especially if you point out that that we are very reasonable when compared with the rest in the top flight, let alone top 6.

 

[tommo74]

Tickets for last season bore draw against the rags were 50 pound each took my Mrs as well so that was a ton before even buying drinks etc so a home game cost me about 170 pound so we can't moan at other clubs

Paid 98euro a couple of years ago to sit on a wooden seat in the gods at the Seville ground.

We are heading that way
