Interesting headline - suggests there was an issue with ticket prices ;)
Reference suggests, based on inflation, a ticket now should be around £6-£7 - hhhmmm

Average salary in 1981 was £7,300, today it’s £37,800.

The average top flight individual match seated ticket in 1981 was £2.64, so today it should be £13.67.

The average top flight season ticket in 1981 was £51.40, so today should be £266.20. Which is about what price German clubs put on 50% of their season tickets.
