There is always an assumption that’ adults’ should pay the highest price for tickets. It is very often the case however these days that young adults in work and not left home have more disposable income and many seniors are benefitting from rather decent pensions and the profits from buying homes at cheaper prices.
Adults are likely to be paying mortgages, supporting families or putting kids through Uni etc

I wonder how many are actually families these days, it might arguable that individuals are the hardest pressed group who usually support a roof over their and very likely a car of some sort?

Giving them any more than the 2000 they give away fans is a disgrace and tinpot. I’d charge them all £45 each as well.

Regardless of today, I really cannot justify spending that on a second tier football ticket this time of year, try as I might.

Shafted by both clubs really.

I see Ipswich turned down the Leeds deal too. They'll be paying even more than us on the 23rd December. £47!

Hope you all are regretting singing the ‘legendary on the terraces’ song about king. Remember when our best team for decades got us to the playoffs and rather than getting behind the players, you all chanted for some random bloke who had contributed absolutely nothing. No wonder we lost

^probably the same fans who sing we’ll live and die in these towns… cringe

Credit where its due Boosh, that post made me laugh. Couple of nuggets of truth in there as well.

Ever since we done them in FA Cup Semi-final. A game which, if I recall correctly, kicked off suspiciously late…

Hopefully we hold off and give them 2000. Give them more when it's clear we don't have the demand for 28k.

Doubt it as i see we gave Blues 4.5K straight off.

We never used to take many to Leeds in the top flight, wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being one of our best ever followings there.

Club has requested a further allocation of "circa 800" which is apparently subject to approval by Leeds' safety team.

Given that Boro had 2900 you can't see how the safety team would turn it down, especially as Leeds and Boro have a long history of fistycuffs

If people are daft enough to keep paying it, clubs will continue to raise prices ?!
What really is the ceiling for some people ?

They should make it fair and begin sales with selling to the priority point amount where sales started to struggle.

At £45 a pop I'd be circumnavigating the safety team and printing them off as we speak.

That’s the problem with people saying boycott - we all know there will be someone with the cash prepared to take our spot. The cheapest adult ticket I could see for the playoff final was £67 all in and I only remember sob stories for tickets, not regarding the pricing. This is only £20 less and we charge £37 ourselves for home matches!

Football fans in the UK are scabs - compared to how the Germans boycotted rising ticket prices. Just got to accept it.

I've heard Leeds have said we can have 800 if we give them an extra 5000!
