There isnt that many cov fans that regularly follow us ? What lol
We have great support
It's not an in-demand game and because there's 24k STH, there also isn't that many Cov fans who would regularly follow us. The pricing isn't that bad because £28-35 is average ticket prices for Championship league matches now.
It could be £20 a ticket and you'll still get people moaning about the price to take a family of 8 out for the day.
Probably should've worded it as: "after our 24k STHs there isn't that many fans who would follow us regularly". The point being that the price wouldn't really impact total attendance by much either way.There isnt that many cov fans that regularly follow us ? What lol

QPR tickets not exactly flying off the shelf
Weve had less than 28 000 on a saturday just 3 times in 2025Probably should've worded it as: "after our 24k STHs there isn't that many fans who would follow us regularly". The point being that the price wouldn't really impact total attendance by much either way.
Get the feeling match day tickets just exist to make you want to get a season ticket for value. But you can’t buy a season ticket. Weird.
It's a decision that's been made to maximise our income. Once you take away the away tickets there's not many home tickets left. There will be more demand when the schools go back.It's to punish away fans. It won't work with West Brom as they won't sell it out at those prices. Birmingham and Leicester fans will bite their tongue and pay it.
That’s unlikely to happen given that the ST threshold has been reached.It's a decision that's been made to maximise our income. Once you take away the away tickets there's not many home tickets left. There will be more demand when the schools go back.
You either get a ST or pay the price.

Besides, if the average away following is 1500, that means a 28k attendance is 26.5k Cov fans, i.e. a v small proportion of supporters/day trippers who go to ad-hoc games.
Again, we’re not actually selling that many tickets per game outside the ‘big games’ because our base support is an impressive 25-26k home fans.
Setting prices at a level that people are unwilling or unable to.pay makes no sense. Blues might sell theirs and people will say it's justified, but I don't think we sell out for that game, and Albion I'm willing to bet will be the lowest crowd of the season up until that point. As mentioned by someone else, if they sell 1500 for that game I'd be amazed.
Yes, we sold out last season against them, but it was a bank holiday, and we were both in the play off mix, and it was £25 for kids not £35.
From a base of 23K season tickets we should be selling out high profile games like Blues and Albion, but we won't, and will be well short for the latter. I might be wrong about Blues, but Albion should never be cat a+ game.
I haven't said it's a good idea. I see it more of maximising our income over the season.Setting prices at a level that people are unwilling or unable to.pay makes no sense.

We want a side good enough to compete at or near the top of the table. We haven't raised funds by selling our best players like we have always done before. We were unlucky not to beat Hull. If we continue like this we will be challenging at the top of the table. We will most probably be playing in a stadium full or close to full.
The working man's game now requires two or three Hours of their investment?West Brom fans are furious about their £45 tickets.
Would like to see them boycott and make a message.
Can't not see it, but we live in hope, not literally live in hope as (address)Really hope the club doesn't f*ck things up and make either of the Xmas home games A+. I get demand will be there especially with results on the pitch, but £45 for Swansea or Ipswich won't look great!
Bank holiday game are usually Cat A, which is still dear enough for Swansea.Really hope the club doesn't f*ck things up and make either of the Xmas home games A+. I get demand will be there especially with results on the pitch, but £45 for Swansea or Ipswich won't look great!
They won't and King will have been proved right in a purely business sense.West Brom fans are furious about their £45 tickets.

I imagine Boxing Day will almost definitely be Category A, and the home end will sell out

There’s always something to moan about isn’t there
Can they? Their pricing has been announced already.Charging £45 is ridiculous and doesn't sit well with me at all.
West Brom will no doubt reciprocate later in the season and who can blame them?
They'll have to charge their own fans in equivalent areas the same if they do.Charging £45 is ridiculous and doesn't sit well with me at all.

I dont think the clubs will agree to it as a collective. Turnstile income is essential to many as the TV money doesnt filter down like the premier league.Can they? Their pricing has been announced already.
I feel sorry for the away fans because they don’t get a choice in what we charge. In relation to Cov, our ST prices and pricing is generally reasonable so it’s only a small % of Cov fans impacted for this, Blues and so on.
At some point, the Championship may introduce a cap on away tickets like the Prem. Not 100% sure if i agree with that, but it’s coming.
The worry is that if they introduce a price cap, it could end up being more expensive for fans than before.I dont think the clubs will agree to it as a collective. Turnstile income is essential to many as the TV money doesnt filter down like the premier league.
Wait til we go up. Away tickets will be fine at the £30 cap but home tickets will be through the roofThe worry is that if they introduce a price cap, it could end up being more expensive for fans than before.
Let’s say the cap is £35, for arguments sake, you could see all the clubs charging that because it’s a new norm. Or for clubs who sell out home allocations, home tickets increases to subsidise the away fans.
It is expensive to follow a football team, most Saturday games are likely to be £30 at a minimum. That’s without the extras like ticketmaster and postage.
Not sure if it was Wolves or Villa but someone posted there ticket prices are £30 adults £29.50 all concessionsWait til we go up. Away tickets will be fine at the £30 cap but home tickets will be through the roof
Ours are higher than that now so they certainly wont be going downNot sure if it was Wolves or Villa but someone posted there ticket prices are £30 adults £29.50 all concessions
