For as long as its not having a material impact on home sales, it will continue.
The alternative would be charging away fans less than home fans, which would obviously be outrageous
Think the issue is specifically kids tickets
£29 for a lunchtime KO on a Sunday. Leicester charged us £35.
Let's he honest, it's more the travel/hotel cost that costs the most, ticket £7/8 extra on a ticket won't make much difference.

We sold 22.5k for the Boro game and on course to sell the same again for Sunderland.Well it is having a material impact on home sales, we're hardly selling any.
Although it does happen routinely in the PL with the price cap.

When was the last time we had that many home fans two games in a row for regular league games?

There's a few issues.Think the issue is specifically kids tickets
Forget 19,000 of those, we're in for the season.
We have around 11000 tickets to sell game by game. So far, for next week, between us and Sunderland we've sold about 3000 total. This price is clearly impacting on this so it needs to be reviewed. It was a real opportunity this season to fill the place and attract new supporters or turn more casuals into regulars. Charging kids £25 ain't going to achieve that.
But you have to ask, what is the aim? Is it to fill the ground? Or is it to maximise income?

Sunderland fans are as fickle as any other fans.

But is it having a negative impact? I mean that in the broadest sense.Surely you try for both?
And if putting kids prices up is having a negative impact on sales, be it home or away, then you look at it.

If we said kids tickets were only £15, how many more would we sell?
Nonsense, theyre the best supported team outside the EPL.
I don't like them, but their numbers speak for themselves.

Point I'm trying to make is if they had won their first 3 games they would sell out the whole 5k or whatever they were allocated. Its easy to use a boycott as an excuse for not supporting your team if you're disatisfied with their on field performances.
They're a massive club , holidays won't effect a 3k away day , they've just taken 5600 to PrestonIt’s August, people are on holiday, makes it harder to judge
I happen to agree with you on the kids/ young adult pricing, but I don't believe that is the sole reason for Sunderland not selling 5k this time round.
Tight fuckers them Scumberland fans , they would rather spend their money on stotty cakes , peas pudding and loose women from Pennywell .
The ghost of 77 ?Poor response considering our own fans were complaining about Cat A prices when they were announced. And we pay the same as the away fans.
Have been chatting with the Sunderland board for a week or two and a minority are using the Ghost of 1977 as an additional reason to boycott, that's something we're never going to repair so take those numbers out. But for a 3000 allocation (been told its reduced this year for them ??!!), 1400 is still low. A fair few of those responding to my posts are non-regular away fans getting their first loyalty points on their season tickets. That in itself says something about the feeling regarding the prices.
Have to agree with them, it's time clubs dropped the Cat prices and have a cap like in the Prem. Otherwise, fans will vote with their feet more frequently.
In a time of rising rents and mortgages and a cost of living crisis, charging £25 for a 5 year old to attend an away match is fucking scandalous.

Let’s face it , Scumberland fans travel in numbers to get away from their pig ugly 3 fingered wife’s and partners . No wonder they are kicking off about the amount of away tickets available . The uplift on pricing I get , it’s enough to feed 2 bairnsfor a month .
