There's petrol, coach fare, parking and beer and food on top of the ticket.

That’s the same however much the match ticket costs though

Yes but it all adds up

Swansea's owners are laying on free coaches for the boxing day game.

But prices aren't going to drop.
I think, barring promotion, our attendances have pretty much peaked.
An end to the cost of living crisis which seems to be going on forever might help.

The only reason Saturday isn't sold out is because it's the most expensive ticket in the league and probably the most expensive kids ticket in the history of the division.

 

[pusbccfc]

It’s too expensive but those same fans would think nothing of spending £50 on a night out

People do throw money around but I don't think it's comparable to football.

Yup attendance vs Charlton will be much bigger than depending on how many Baggies bring. Not sure why charlton were only given 2150 tickets.

 

[David O'Day]

There will be plenty boycotting. They were always more vocal than Birmingham fans were.

it's also an easy excuse if you are playing shite and don't fancy going to a 12:30 kick off to watch your team maybe get a tonking from a local rival.

Last time they claiming they were boycotring they were doing well and all still turned up

Maybe, but they'd have sold out at even £37.

QPR are charging them £39 and they are going to sell it out.

they wouldn't, work with a couple who aren't going as they are scared we'll run ragged over them

Some are boycotting maybe but some are just not up for it

Nicole Ibbetson has told a supporters club meeting tonight that away fans will only be given 2100 for the rest of the season as they are moving the segregation like the Sheffield United game.

Good, the less the better

We get shite allocations these days so why shouldn't we cut it back to the minimum we have to give

They may fancy it at £32-37 though. Even if not officially boycotting, West Brom not selling out 2700 tickets up the road is pretty telling.

Agreed. It will piss off plenty.

it's not, the ones I know just don't want to see them potentially get made to look shite against us

if they were playing well and confident of beating us they'd have found 2700 people to buy a ticket

That’s interesting

 

[shmmeee]

Right call. Too many games with an empty block in the away end this year and a full home end.

Yep and Doug will be less likely to charge £45 off his own fans

That didn't stop them selling out 2000 away at Ipswich in their last Saturday away game and they even took 1500 to Charlton midweek a few weeks ago. More than they have supposedly sold so far.

You're right, if they were top, they would have like sold out.

Are they moving the barrier then to give us another 1.5 blocks?

Swansea essentially subsidising our tickets

Another W for Douglas

Bring tinnies on the train and a meal deal costs about a tenner from WHSmith at New St. Train ticket probably a £8-10 too.

They'd probably spend 250k on a house as well, but neither is really relevant.
And £50? Lightweights!

£30 for football tickets was relatively normal 10-15 years ago for an adult, its one of the few things that hasn't risen with inflation, everything else, has.

Look at your ST price now versus back then, the prices have barely moved.
