Ticket Prices

Is 242 part of that semi-corporate bit now? It would explain the higher price.

The entire touchline on both sides is 42 to 47 (mostly sold out now) and then you go one block over and the price is almost half.

Just found it odd there was such a high gap

£26 quid for a season ticket! It really was the peoples game back then.

Bizarre isn't it?

According to one inflation calculator, that's the equivalent of about £110 in 2022

Looking at it another way, I bought a house for £32k in 1981. That same house is now valued at around £650k, around 20 times more.

£26 x 20 = £520. All of a sudden that £299 season card looks even better value!

I always use an inflation factor of approximately x4 since 1980 ( the year I bought my first house) .
Hence £26 x4 = £104, so my calculations are pretty accurate.
So football inflation is alot more than x4 ,it's probably more like x 20.
Ridiculous really,as is house price inflation.
( I paid £12,000 for my first house in Middleton Junction. It would cost 12/13 times that amount in 2022).
 
My 1st season ticket was a £5 junior in the Kippax in 1976.
