I’m torn on this.The prices for non St holder kids have been scandalous for a while, under 17s should be no more than £10 regardless of who we're playing
Yeah, don't bother bringing through the next generation of support, great idea.
You think there's a significantly higher bond being formed between a child and the football club in one cup match, than the 23 home league games they have a ST for during the season?
I don't believe you think that.
What if they don't have a ST?
The pricing for kids is a piss take.
So there's every chance Spurs would say no to cheap tickets anyway.Yes and get 45%
Pete what would you have advised as the right price ?This is where some formal consultation would have been good
I can’t believe the club keep getting things wrong for pricing of kids tickets
Your argument is that this Wednesday night cup match against Spurs is the one chance for kids to form a lifelong bond with the club?
2008/9 v Chelsea i think the last home game against a top 6 side was £25 allowing for inflation today's prices look about correct
that £25 works out to about £392008/9 v Chelsea i think the last home game against a top 6 side was £25 allowing for inflation today's prices look about correct
No it isn't, that's how you've interpreted it.
Like me saying your argument is supporters, especially kids, should be rinsed for as much as possible in as short a space of time but I'm sure that's not what you're saying.
That’s for the clubPete what would you have advised as the right price ?
USA was outrageousIts about what I expected to be honest. £60 for me and t’other half. Glad our kids aren’t still kids now and we were taking them three though
If you haven’t got a pretty decent job, most prices in this country for all sorts of stuff are ridiculous!
yeah fair, i am quite old so £10 seems like a lot to me when it probably isn't to most. when i first started going to Highfield Rd i would cycle over and pay about £4 to stand in the kop. that is probably £10 now but with the cost of football/entertainment moving up more than inflation maybe a bit more than £10 is still fair for kids.I’m torn on this.
I think the pricing is too high but equally £10 is too cheap.
I’m struggling to think of any premium live experience where you can take your kids to for £10
Certainly not a pop concert or the theatre
walk into an coffee shop in any town or city and it’s full of teenagers spending £4+ on a drink and the same again on food. All consumed in about 15 mins !
I think when you grow up you'll see what the fuss is about.Genuinely don't see what all the fuss about. I'm fine with the prices. It's a one off game against a top PL opposition, from a business pov makes perfect sense. DK running a business not a charity. If people are moaning about paying £37 quid for ONE game they should've got a ST. Some people are so entitled.

still £150 to take to fam to see cov play tottentham reserves/youth in an early round of the carabo cup is too much for me. but if there are lots of others who will pay and it's a big healty gate then the club have it right
That's the only way to interpret it. Because in reality, this one match is irrelevant to a childs bond with the club, when the season is at least 48 games long.
I'm also pretty sure kids aren't getting rinsed at all, because I reckon at least 99% of them won't be paying for their own tickets.
I think tickets in 1970 were about 15 shillings or 75p ?! Not that I bought any at 3 years of age.£4 in 1970 is £66 now
It's all well being rinsed when things are going well but if we have a bad season he will not be happy at how the fans react.You can be as facetious as you like, others have laid out the reason for this being a bad idea, particularly at this time of year.
But sometimes it's just about doing right by your fanbase and not trying to rinse them
If you think pissing off people who go home and away every week is no big deal then we've probably got different ideas about what a football club should be all about
Exactly that. Everyone is pinning the blame on the club but in this case it takes 2 to tango.So there's every chance Spurs would say no to cheap tickets anyway.
Or coming back to form?Yeah no chance
On sky
Not playing well
Likely to be tonked
Oh well
Always balancedWhilst ticket revenue is important, the revenue from this one singular game is not game changing for the club and therefore the child ticket should be cheaper, not about bond with club or anything, just the fact that its not a financial game changer with the volume of children x £5 cheaper or £7.50 cheaper.
Assume all ST's have their ticket then we have what - 8,000 tickets available, assume 80% of those are adult tickets then you are talking 1,600 children at a price point of £20 or £15 equates to £8,000
Apply the same to child ST's and assume we have 4,000 of them at under 18 and its another £20,000 so does £28,000 really make a difference to us versus trying to give families good value for an under 18 at £15
I know we are commercial and can sell out etc with adults but I still feel it should be better priced
aye, spurs want as much money as possible and they now they'll sell 3000 tickets at 30 a pop in minutesExactly that. Everyone is pinning the blame on the club but in this case it takes 2 to tango.
Against Middlesbrough..
Fuck that, I'll save the cash and the trip and watch it at the pub
