    To be fair, this is the only team that I have seen that have outrageous prices. Fulham was quite expensive considering their ground is a **** hole but not massively overpriced. I went to West Brom and their tickets were only £10.

    It's a shame they can't fix the ticket prices for premiership games they get more than enough from sky!

    Only boycotts will work, but football is such a religion that hardcore fans of all clubs will pay it.

    Perhaps a high price will mean that someone who hasn't managed an away match so far will be able to get a ticket...doubt it though...they will be snatched up no problem.

    P.s. you can get some of your money back by removing a seat as a souvenir.

    It was £40 to get in Stamford Bridge seven years ago, so £47 is no surprise. I won't be going anywhere near the place (especially after yesterday's traumatic experience).

    Don't go. Those prices are scandalous.

    PS. We won't get thumped.

    To put this into context a ticket in the Kingsland Stand for the Arsenal game cost me £45 plus a £2.50 service charge!

    I will not pay big bucks to watch European champions who can't defend their crown past the group stages.

    Pointless reply. Just be honest you would love to go but can't afford to.

    So you just show up at games with no idea who your lot are playing?

    As I work every other Saturday I just buy tickets when I can go, so the opposition have no affect on my attendance. If I could select my games, I think I would select games where I think Saints could get points or games which are very important to us. I have no interest in watching any other team for the sake of it.
