So its fine to fleece loyal season ticket holders but not the occasionals?
And thats terrible , but we arent paying that and their matchday fans will be paying the same as ours on the night
Ive just said its terrible ? ITS TERRIBLESo its fine to fleece loyal season ticket holders but not the occasionals?
We're wont as most of us don't go to away games. Therefore the price of away tickets doesn't affect the majority of us.Good job others don't do the same, or we'd be paying £45 at every away ground!
What about the clubs who have decent season ticket prices and decent matchday prices ?Lets use Middlesbrough as an example to compare to
Hypothetical 30k crowd. All at adult prices for ease of comparison. City cat A+ vs Boro cat A
CCFC
Standard season ticket income
24000 @ £19 = £456k
Matchday ticket income
6k @ £45 = £270K
Total ticket income = £726k
MFC
Standard season ticket income
18000 @ £27 = £486k
Matchday ticket income
12k @ £33 = £396k
Total ticket income = £882k
If you want to know why our matchday tickets are so high, blame the reasonable season ticket prices
Do we know what is average?Wages were down as 23.5 million in 2024

Such as who?
Preston. Season ticket prices also frozen for this season, maximum price £35 for walk up, £550 maximum ST price. Early bird under £300Such as who?
Watford isn't a Cat A game for them. Their highest adult tickets would be £37 if it was.Derby matchday prices v watford View attachment 46868
Doesn't sound like a very well run club then does it?Derby wage bill 22 million in 23/24
Watford isn't a Cat A game for them. Their highest adult tickets would be £37 if it was.
Fair enough though, they are cheaper that us.
And yet are currently getting lower crowds than us
Doesn't sound like a very well run club then does it?
Why aren't they selling out every game?Preston. Season ticket prices also frozen for this season, maximum price £35 for walk up, £550 maximum ST price. Early bird under £300
And our tickets are usually cheaper than they are nowWe usually average less than them .. they are well supported
And our tickets are usually cheaper than they are now
Its almost like ticket pricing has almost zero impact on crowd numbers
It sounds like they make money in other areas
The point all along is that the prices are too expensive , just because people pay it doesnt mean they are good .
They lose more than we do don't they? They lost a ridiculous amount in L1 a few years ago.It sounds like they make money in other areas
Narrowly escaped relegation last season and doing better but still not spectacularly this season.Why aren't they selling out every game?
My point all along - What are you basing the claim that they're "too expensive" on?
Maybe they do .. i dont actually careThey lose more than we do don't they? They lost a ridiculous amount in L1 a few years ago.
Il ask you this
Do you think 35 pound is reasonable for a child
Do you believe 45 - 60 pound is reasonable for an adult to watch second tier football
Both are too expensive
I personally wouldn't regularly pay it, hence why I got a season ticket.
If I couldn't make every game I would pick and choose, and choose the cheaper games
£250 for a family of four.Il ask you this
Do you think 35 pound is reasonable for a child

Both are too expensive
Isn't the question as always why you are boxes or upper decker being subsidised by the commoners and their offspring?But if we got close to selling the game out financially it makes sense, which is why I asked how many tickets were left that could have been sold.
No one is being obnoxious, just talking about the subject.
Is it too expensive yes or no
I can't answer for other people.
Its too expensive for me, hence why I choose not buy those tickets.
I expect other people who can't afford it to also not buy them, and choose a different game.
Those that can afford it will pay it.
I've made it clear all along that I think those prices are too high. However I'm getting fed up of all this "won't somebody please think of the children" nonsense.
There are plenty of opportunities to see us play without paying those prices.
We're not as most of us don't go to away games. Therefore the price of away tickets doesn't affect the majority of us.
Also the majority of us have season tickets so we are not affected by price of match tickets.
I just paid £90 to take 2 family members to Boxing day game. Happy to pay it. If I wasn't I would just spend less on their Christmas presents.
