Ticket Prices

I wonder if it would be worth trying to get the football supporters federation involved in this?

I think this is becoming quite a big issue, with lots of our fans priced out. Whilst season ticket holders and away fans get cheaper tickets.
Season ticket holders should get cheaper tickets.

Even then, my season ticket is the second largest Direct Debit I have coming out each month after my mortgage. So it’s not as cheap as you’d imagine.

I don’t think any football ticket should be more than £30 for an adult yet my season ticket averages out at £45/game.
 
I’m going to take a lot of heat for this on here but those prices are relatively low.

Go to any sporting event in the US and you are easily paying $100-150 PER TICKET. Obviously there are examples of it being lower but this is universal in NBA, NHL, NFL, Tennis. I can assume the prices at Wimbledon for instance would be similar as well.

I brought my wife on our honeymoon to a city vs. burnley game in 2018. I was over the moon with the ticket prices!

Just saying it could be ALOT worse

Another reason why I'm eternally grateful that I don't live in America.
 
What annoys me quite a bit, is that they encourage you to put your ticket on the exchange if you can't go.

Then reward you if it does sell for the £68 they're asking, with just shy of £22 for doing so, it's the height of cheek for me, why not sell it for £35, they still make nearly 50% for you doing it, and fill the seat.
If they sold them for £35 I wouldn’t have a season ticket…..

The problem is there is no chance of the average local family in and around Manchester being able to afford this. maybe Americans get paid more so the prices aren't too bad for them. I doubt most families in places like Clayton and Openshaw can afford £68 for an adult ticket and whatever it is for a child. It's a disgrace

Can’t speak for American sports as I know fuck all about them, but Wimbledon is a one off annual event that attracts a much wealthier crowd than English football does that is a weekly occurrence on top of that. Absolutely no comparison between Wimbledon prices and premier league prices. Joke from City

England v Australia at Lords is £190 a ticket so 4 days for 2 people is therefore £760.
 
Yep, paid £150 the other day for me to take wife and kids to Arsenal Cup game. They even charged me £27.50 for 11-year-old daughter in family stand.

And it's on the fucking box.

West Ham have a family season ticket for two adults and two kids. Think it was something like £750 all in?
We've taken our grandkids to four games this season, plus an away. Would very much love to take them to the Arsenal cup game even if the timescale is a little restrictive for them, however £167.50 is just a bridge too far. That's without our parking of £8 factored in, fuel, five meat and potatoe growlers at £4.50 each, 5 cups of roller cola at £3 a throw so @cica £220 for a fourth round game. Am I missing something?

Hungry hungry bean counting bar stewards and it's withing their remit to do much better! I thought the children were the future of our club and anything and everything should be made doable and affordable to bring them on in.

As an addendum the south stands a little cheaper but the youngest cant see with the safe standing.

I don't know what's worse the football we are presently serving up or the £4.50 for the shit pies!!

There's a Greggs across the road in Asda. Might save yourself at least £15 on pastry products.

As you say, thieving bastards and kids have short attention spans and plenty of other stuff to entertain them these days.

We have long taken for granted the generation who kept us going through the 80s and 90s.

I'm not so sure the next will stay engaged unless the Bank of Mum and Dad or Grandparents sell a kidney.
