They have to be launched soon but I guess they are trying to squeeze in every last late season ticket before announcing.

I paid fifty quid! Similar seats last year vs Australia was a hundred.

It really depends on where you sit.

Lords and The Oval, you are paying ninety to over a hundred regardless of opposition.

One problem here is that the 'cheap seats' are disappearing. When they demolished all the members facilities to build the south stand there was all sorts of promises made that haven't been kept to.

If you're a member a lot of the members areas are now closed off to you for 'major matches' as they're part of the ever expanding hospitality area. Members get shunted over to the opposite side of the ground on those occasions but that part of the ground is next on the list for redevelopment and no doubt at that point prices will increase and more of the ground will be handed over to hospitality.

You have to wonder if hospitality is at saturation point though.

Agreed, but would have thought for example more expensive match day prices may encourage wavering STHs......just smells of poor planning from King.

£200 and the rest. A standard seat in the lower tier at Wembley to see Taylor Swift was £350 no concessions. Its a joke.
Click to expand...
£350 for Taylor Swift tickets if you purchased when they first went on sale, my 12 y/o daughter is obsessed with her, we’d love to get her tickets but they’re now close to £1k for x2 restricted view seats (behind the stage) for bog standard lower tier seats x2 it’s now over £2k, standing on the pitch x2 £1.5k.
Fkin scandalous.

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.

It’s not that long ago that some poster(s) were saying that, when we get promoted, ticket prices aren’t all that much of a contributor in the Premier League because of all the other revenues and so we wouldn’t see much of a hike.

I actually got this completely wrong, It’s much worse than I thought.
Those prices are actually for 1 ticket only, so for standing on the pitch £1.5k each and restricted view (behind stage) £1k each these tickets originally went on sale priced £110 and £59 respectively.

Well if you sold 25,000 season tickets at 700 pound each (which we wouldn't because of kids prices etc ) you'd make about 17 million .. fair enough it's a huge amount , but commercially/ sponsorships and with the clubs 100 million tv money each year .. it's a drop in the ocean , probably would work out less than 10% of income , it's never worth fleecing fans

Marcus rashford is paid 15 million a year for reference

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!

It’s legalised touting plain and simple.

It’s nye on impossible to purchase tickets when they first go on sale, Mrs spent 3 days on the phone in a queue, then they announced all dates completely sold out in record time what they actually mean is they’ve sold hundreds of thousands of tickets to a multitude of these ticket re-sale companies who then immediately inflate the price , in this case from £59 to around £1000 & so on.

Think most countries have legislation in place to prevent this happening, but of course, this kind of profiteering is actively encouraged both here and in the States

Mad that they have made Plymouth Argyle on Boxing Day a Cat A. Blatant cash in. Have to feel for Plymouth fans.

Norwich Cat A is baffling. Am I missing something?

Luton and Burnley, despite being in the PL last season, should never be a Cat A game. Two of the smallest clubs in the division.

First Saturday home game I'm guessing. I'd imagine it will be close to sell out

I'll continued to have my mind blown if we do. Such an expensive day out for both Coventry and Norwich fans paying £37 for what's an early kick off on sky.

Ah, didn't realise it was early kick off.
Could take a few thousand off the attendance then, especially if it's on TV

Should be a Cat C to fill the place rather than cashing in (given that many will have shelled out 55 quid for a shirt for Xmas)
