http://shewore.com/2013/11/12/man-city-away-ticket-pricing-scandal/ Thoughts? I've never know any away fans charged that much at City before,it's scandalous and the only tit for tat pricing I've ever heard of City doing
This is what they want. Fans arguing over who charges who the most and by how much. They're all colluding to screw the fan over. PL is a corporate cesspit.
PL? try every sector, all the car makers have been caught price fixing, all the airlines. They are all at it. There is no competition, they just divide us all up between them and screw us for every penny they can get
But how much of the stadium is empty - whilst fans keep paying the money nothing is going to change. If fans stopped paying the prices charged and stayed away from games, things might change for the better. I don't see that happening, somehow.
I will never understand why it costs more for an away fan to sit in a seat than a home fan, grounds have to be policed and stewarded regardless of who is there so that is no excuse.
It doesn't, hence the discussion. But once could argue that an away fans enclosure (particulalrly in a heated local derby) will require extra police officers/stewards.
You do notice that in certain games e.g.Spuds at home that there are more stewards/police in the area between us and the away fans
Surely the clubs should pay for this, if you want 3000 of your supporters at an away game you should pay for the extra security not expect the people who are going to support you to pay for it!
