Walked past and saw Fish and chips was about £6.20, with a drink I think it was about £8.60

I am sure it wasn't that expensive before?

Pretty much concert pricing

I didn't see how much it was for a pie or sausage roll. I'll make double sure I am not caught out and need to get something to soothe emergency hunger this season.

I paid £8.20 for a pie an a pint, sure the pie was £4.20. Seems a lot, nut at least it came in a nice cardboard box with a CCFC sticker on it.

I was surprised. By the way, it was the pie in the box, not the pint.

Ever get the feeling you're
A. Being taken for a mug
B. Being disrespected
C. Being priced out
D. All of the above

It's that money spinner called a captive audience. A business model coming to every element of life they can embed it in.
Airports, M-way services, entertainment events...do theme parks allow picnics in these days? They pass it off as Security or Health & Safety...oh - but them raking in the cash is just an unfortunate side effect.

...onwards & upwards PUSB

So what, is it any different from an earlier thread where people were taking the piss out of someone for moaning about a quid. It's only a bit more than before so what's the problem?

Funny thing is you're one of the first when someone has a stupid moan about something to do with the club

I was asking as I wasn't sure if it had or not. I thought about it at the time then I saw a post in another thread about it...

If I am not happy with the price I just won't buy it It could well be down to the club wanting more profit making it go up...

It was the first home game, so I asked. Simple really

Surely its down to the catering contractor Nick? Although the clubd 15% will rise accordingly, id rather eat before the game and always I partake of a couple of pints of Heineken in the casino pre match, nice cold pint and very much cheaper than the swill the contactors serve anyhow

Looking at that FAQ link about tickets that you posted on another thread Nick, you're not allowed to bring your own food and drink to Wasps games!

Never had an issue with city games to be fair. They look in the bag and that's it.

I went to the Test at Edgebaston. Ticket said no alcohol but on arrival bags where searched for cans of soft drinks as well. They didn't object to you taking in food and water....just as well when you are going to be sat there for seven hours.

On a positive note a pint was about £3.00 which I was surprised at, thought it was going to be more. Took my own food so can't comment on the food prices.

Why would you buy fish and chips in a football ground anyway? Or any other food for that matter. There are plenty of chippys near the ground.

The tea and coffee are so awful that the caterers should pay you £2.50 to drink it.

Where abouts do they do mad goose? Only Ubu and gold at the purity bar near block 18. And yep that's gone up 20p a pint. But I still think it's good value for a real ale.

jeez, car park, tickets and now food.

You have a choice. Buy the food and pay the money, or go for a whole 2 hours without eating

Agree with you about the food - can't understand those who habitually have to eat at the football. As for tickets and parking, particularly ticket prices, the option to 'not buy it' is to not go to the game at all, and we don't want people making that choice.

Yeah, food, drink, even replica shirt prices - I'm not that arsed. Ticket prices do bother me though. Gives the less committed another reason not to go.
