Unfortunately till fans stop buying at these prices clubs will carry charging whatever they can get away with.

This is spot on. Same has happened with concert ticket and now it's not a shock to find an arena show costing £200 plus but while they kept selling out where was the incentive to change. There's only a couple of fanbases who actually took a stand and refused to buy to send a message

They know they've got you, its not like you will suddenly switch to another team

But LCFC are taken care of by Billionaire owners and now have another £100 million from the Prem/ SKY
No need to shaft supporters

The owners of Leicester seem squeaky clean , behind the scenes they did a lot of dodgy work with the military junta of Thailand , before being given very generous terms to get into lucrative businesses. Thai taxpayers have subsidized them very generously allegedly.

sure I read on another post that if someone had bought all of last seasons aways it would’ve cost under £700. If so, Leeds likely to be making a nice turn…greedy

£200 and the rest. A standard seat in the lower tier at Wembley to see Taylor Swift was £350 no concessions. Its a joke.

Exactly. No fan would turn promotion down. But perhaps we need to appreciate what we have actually got more?

Competitive in a very competitive league, which provides a decent level of football. Great atmosphere and a chance of winning most weeks.

£70 for the Hollies stand this weekend for Eng v Windies Test (6-6.5 hours of international cricket). Good value IMO.

Totally agree with this. The fact the championship is becoming more accessible too through tv, coverage online or on podcasts, it’s just an incredibly enjoyable league, and I don’t feel we miss out too much by not being in the premier league.
Being promoted would be great, don’t get me wrong, but I actually love being in the Championship. Extra exciting signing players no one has heard of too!

Reflects the statement of: Football created by the workers and stolen by the elite.
It's difficult to see how someone on an average or below average wage can afford to attend a match.

Guess it partially depends where you want to sit. The majority of the south stand is now only accessible as part of a hospitality package. In fact you can't even buy a white ball season pass that includes access to the members lounge as that is now hospitality for those games.

Not sure that's what members signed up for when we were asked to vote on knocking down the old members facilities for redevelopment.

I would absolutely love to get promoted but not sure I will enjoy the following season.

VAR, financial fuckery, games all over the place for telly, big club bias, idiotic punditry and likely many losses and relegation at the end of it all.

Where did you get them from? Ours were £70 odd quid plus a booking fee but that was when they first went on sale.

Those Leicester prices are disgraceful. Most tickets being £50+ is absurd.

Not really, the financial demands of being a Premiership team is high. Fans want their cake and to eat it i.e. the best product available with hundreds of millions spent on the team but to pay nothing for it.

Was speaking to a few Prem fans about their ST prices and even at £740 per year, it works out at roughly £39 per game. For premiership football, I don’t think that’s bad at all.

That’s London prices and that Arsenal is competing at the top table of English and European football.

Realistically, £40 a game for Prem football isn’t unreasonable in my view - for a ST. The single price games can be taken out of context because these clubs often sell out their grounds and buy back schemes with the club.

Looks like half the forum at Edgbaston Saturday. Will be 4 of us, 2 Cov, 2 Villa. We're also in the Hollies, bought them direct from the ballot and were £87.50 each. If it helps I'll be pissed up and annoying by lunchtime. We're on the spiced rum from early doors. Hope it's sunny as always makes it better.

@PVA @scottccfc @Senior Vick from Alicante @skybluelee I'll probably have my City cap on and I'm a fat bastard so you can't miss me. Pop and introduce yourselves but preferably early whilst I have half a clue what you're on about!

19 league games at £56 quid a game ? Cheapest adult tickets £1073. Top table of European football for a club that haven't won the league or a European trophy for donkeys years.
