Ticket prices v Plymouth boxing day

[Deleted member 7943]

Now I'm asking our supporters do we think this is reasonable for a club that's almost 4 hours away on boxing day

The home section will cost the same too and they will probably sell but its atrocious pricing

 

[Skybluecol]

Greed again I'm afraid...commercials before supporters.

The fact they want £25 for my 5 year old is a joke...will carry him in for free

You answered the rational behind the thinking. It will sell. Its Boxing day. Its gonna be cat A.

Is it right...no.

but its about maximising profits.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Frank Lampard's Coventry vs Wayne Rooney's Plymouth.

Big bucks for a showcase thriller like that.

 

[clint van damme]

See Man U have done away with concession pricing.
Sure more clubs will follow. It's disgusting.

 

[chiefdave]

Is that a new rule, if you get someone to carry you in its free?

 

[Jonny]

Is it right? Probably not.
Is it how much things cost these days? Sadly.

Premium day of football, nothing to do with how far teams have to travel.

 

[Tommo1993]

It’s abysmal. Price people out like everything else in life is trying to do. It’s not even worth £37 and nobody can say otherwise.

Shit like this is unreal.

Greedy bastard's richest club in the world don't make me laugh.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Vile prices but to be expected from our owner.

 

[pusbccfc]

It's dreadful. I'm very supportive of Doug but the prices are embarrassing.

Away numbers at our place have been poor this season.

 

[coop]

Terrible pricing especially for the kids and younger adults. Only way to protest is don't buy the tickets.

 

[ptr]

Someone will win this game 6-4 and I’m not sure who at the moment.

 

[Tommo1993]

They harp on about the next generation of fans as well. Baffling.

No it isn't but home supporters are likely to pay it

The U18 pricing is absolutely shocking.
Ticket sales look really good so far though so guess it will be a sellout.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

It’s ridiculous to be charging £25 for a kid to watch second tier football. Any football for that matter.

 

[David O'Day]

It's boxing day, it'll be a big crowd

it's the sensible business decision if not the moral one but morals left football a long time ago

 

[alfielloyd]

Sadly, the criticism will have no impact because the tickets available will sell.

 

[nicksar]

Ridiculously high pricing, but if we reach the promised land of the premier League prepare to remortgage.
I have a friend who is a Spurs season ticket holder,he pays £4500 a season for himself and his (adult) Son.
Spurs have a waiting list of 90,000 for season tickets.
It's beyond belief to be honest.

 

[Lamps]

Doug has a vision on how we will reach the Prem. It won't come cheap. I tried having this conversation on here but continually got shot down for being anti Doug. All I got back was it would be our club paying for Frank and whoever he brought in and it wouldn't cost him anything. Prices like this are our contribution to going forward with his plans.

We will have the choice. Season tickets for all or an expensive couple of hours at the game. Without season tickets it would cost us for 2 adults and 2 children about the same for a day at Drayton Manor. When we're doing well the game would be tempting. Otherwise there's only one winner.

We're used to recent years of running our club on a small budget. Bums on seats and the occasional player sale kept our heads above water. Looks like them days are gone. Is it right? Certainly not in my view. It is going to price a lot of people out of going.

To be honest I couldn’t stomach the prices without a ST. It’s not a consistently entertaining enough experience.

I think if I didn't have a ST I'd definitely swerve CAT A games with 2 kids

Mine are too young but not looking forward to this dilemma. Just doesn’t seem feasible.

£66 for a kid there now I think

The issue is exacerbated by the fact that the match tickets are only part of the true cost of attending which generally rises with all the other ancillary costs.

Well yeah need food and drink for kids too. Assume you can’t take stuff in still?

Think of kid focussed stuff as expensive but football is way more so and less fun for them when they’re younger.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

It's actually one of Plymouth's closer games (mad as though that may seem!)

You'd have thought that Son could get his Dad a free ticket at Spurs wouldn't you.

Boxing day games has always been priority A game, Christmas and New Year are the one time of the year most people are on holiday.

 

[Potbellypig]

I don't agree with it but I sort of get it for a fixture like this. Boxing Day and family expenditure comes with a price wherever you go. I hate pretty much everything about modern football, but I get why the price is ''worth it'' for a Boxing Day game.

 

[clint van damme]

The other big issue here is that the league are making Plymouth traipse 200 miles on boxing day.
I appreciate its one of their nearest fixtures but boxing day should be for games as local as possible even if they can't accommodate actual local derbies.

It’s a logical these these big clubs to argue that the seat costs the same irrespective of who was sat in it.

I don’t agree with it, but when you’re a club that can sell a 60-80-thousand seater stadiums several times over, every concession ticket is essentially money lost. These clubs no longer really care about the local fans.

In the summer I spoke to some Wolves fans who spoke about boycotting ST price increases and because there’s a waiting list of 3-5 years, they bottled it at the last minute - which makes perfect sense.

This is where lower league clubs need to be on the ball with their pricing to win over potential supporters/followers.

That Daniel Levy is a right tight bastard though,

Ultimately this is becoming more common in many areas.

Many Theme Parks no longer have kids tickets for example. Kids tickets for cinemas aren't cheap.

It is extremely expensive for people to have kids.
