There hasn't been a £45 game yet. Birmingham will sell well because of the general hype and lots of people work with their fans creating a bit of a rivalry.

West Brom doesn't have much of that. I don't think anyone considers them a rival.

West Brom fans are a lot more vocal about their anger towards the prices. They will have some form of boycott.

They kicked off the last 2 years and still sold out if I recall? They’ll always have 2.5k diehards as do most clubs at this level

They boycotted 2 seasons ago and only had about 1600 there.

45/46 quid is a big difference to the £37/38 last season.

Things do go up and £8 really won't make or break the day, it's the principle and the precedent it sets. £37 was already too much and the kids prices are scandalous.

Because we've introduced this category A+ for about 3 or 4 games, it's almost like the 7 games at £37 are acceptable, when they really aren't.

Ask him about that then, not his opinion on what other fans think of him

It was already one of, if not West Brom's most expensive away days and they've added that go it.

Their view on it will be different to Birmingham who's fans would pay anything currently due to their uber-excitement around their club.

I really like Doug but he's clearly got a sizeable ego. I'm sure widespread negativity by others will add to that of the moans from his own supporters.

I'm not certain, but I'm sure it's the most expansive away ticket in the division (making it the most expensive away ticket in England currently).

Unfortunately we'll hear the same old 'We need to try and compete with the rich clubs in the division'.

Why would he care about the opinion of a bunch of gormless brummies? It should be framed from our own fans point of view if the question is to be asked.

Ok, on the small chance someone might pick up on it here, I'll take a chance and post it then then run for cover before the inevitable pile on. As I said in a DM to someone on here, the one I left off that I'd really go for would be to get rid of Ticketmaster. I've removed the personal contact details so I don't get spammed

Fair play, even if they decide on only 1 of them then it‘s extra revenue for the club, I’ve asked why can’t the lounges stay open longer than an hour after the game, we have to go and spend it somewhere else ? all adds up over a season,

Hopefully the lounges now can. When we had the lease, it was only for something like 5 or 6 hours, so would've had an official time to vacate. Be interesting to see any small changes like that.

The irony of Anthony Bla Bla Bla Hornsby moaning that King isn’t hosting the forum live yet failing to realise that the last live forum ( post Robins ) was hijacked by people trying to stick it to Kjng and get their 15 mins of fame, including the CWR shower.

After that he was never going to give the BBC the opportunity to host it again …..

Fans of other clubs (possible exception of Charlton) did nothing to help us at our lowest point.

We don’t owe anyone anything.

Because it's not just Brummies. It's widely been criticised.

The original point was that it's worth adding that to a question about the ticket prices. It's not just annoying our own fans.

People too hung up on the team the opinion holder supports. They’re football fans just like us. What will be funny is those condoning the horrific prices will be very quick to complain when BCFC reciprocate.

Exactly. That's why it's important that it's a collective condemnation.

We've been criticised by many. It will continue as we charge West Brom, Leicester and potentially the likes of Wrexham for the final home game the same price. It's not a good look really, even if Doug or our own fans don't care.

We may not get charged £45 for away games, but we'll be category A at many places.

They'd have to charge their home fans the same so it's up to them if they wish to do so.

It's just a bunch of social media weirdos jumping on things. I have no interest on the opinion of the fans of any other club, gormless brummies or otherwise.
Ask it from a home fan point of view or not at all. He really won't care about junk posts on X I can assure you.

Yes I believe fans of any other club couldn't give 2 shits about what ticket prices are for Coventry City vs Birmingham City unless its just to spit bollocks on random EFL Social Media posts that are stuck up for engagement farming purposes. Why would they? I couldn't care what the price is for Norwich vs Southampton or QPR vs Derby etc etc, it would be weird to care about it frankly.

Because generally, people don't like the way ticket pricing for away tickets is going. That's why people are commenting on it.

Ultimately, I don't like us charging £45 for home or away fans to be honest. The issue about what others think should be added to the question to emphasize the issue.

If Doug doesn't care, then fair enough. He'll keep charging those prices and add more teams to the list paying £37-45.
