Ticket Prices

I suppose I've not paid attention to what other clubs have charged.

 

You can get season tickets at Leicester for 2 and adults and 2 kids under 10, for about £900.

 

agree,

i was thinking same thing when he posted that, there wont be cheap tickets anywhere in the prem soon, too many greedy owners will make sure of that sadly.

 

Like I stated before ... get down and support your local team if it isn't one of the big Prem ones ... even if it is there'll be another lower league side in the area to watch

Doesn't change **** on the discrepancies and skullduggeries behind pricing, but it's happening and fans will have to get used to it as the clubs and powers that be ain't gonna come back down or gonna change their minds

 

Worst. Lesson. Ever.

 

They might have to if a few more supporters groups up and down the country take a stand like some of your lot did yesterday.

Well done for making your point (genuinely). And well done Jermaine Defoe for hammering it home for you.

 

If it was repeated across the country on a regular basis, closer to tv rights negoatiations I think it would have a real effect. Thats where the money is after all and TV companies advertise the PL as biggest and Brightest...hard to advertise if the main story in tv games is crowds walking out......

 

Good to see Linekar, Wright and Shearer all agree that any increase to ticket prices next season is wrong with the mega bucks TV deal that clubs are getting.

 

That's not cheap either. It's around £20-£25pp to watch Stags and they're in League Two!

 

Roll over and take it up the arse or go and watch some ****e.

Gotcha.

How about not spreading the arse cheeks and trying to get some traction towards fair pricing, something akin to the German model? Just a thought like......

 

Because I think its easier for people who don't go to games to suggest you simply stop going if you don't agree with the price.

 

The beauty of the German model is that all teams are partly opened by the supporters. This model is only successful if ALL the teams are doing it.

The PL is a free market. Read in the paper that Scudamore has had his salary doubled today as well.

 

As someone who never goes to games, I object to that comment. However, I also understand exactly were you're coming from too.

There is no way I'd risk my seat. There is always someone else willing to go in your place.

I don't think this is a fans vs club thing, it's a fans vs PL issue.

 

Sure once every club follows the same model of not losing money year after year paying mad wages.

It's a competitive league. Everyone wants to get to top so we can't say hey fsg you put 150mil in to just balance books and now hey reduce the prices and don't stop investing too.

It'd be nice if we could say... hey get the structures right so you dont waste the money you do get and then make it affordable for all.

 

All PL clubs will be in profit this year, due to the additional £30m a piece being chucked into each and every clubs coffers for doing nothing i.e. the incremental TV cash.

To increase ticket prices on the cusp of this windfall is an absolute disgrace. It's nothing to to with financial necessity or maintaining competitiveness either.

Every club could afford to reduce ticket prices for next season and still barely notice the difference. Some might, most won't, and some (like yours) will take the piss.

 

I don't know but isn't there an element of charity there that you knowingly pay over the odds because it makes a huge difference to their finances, whereas the extra £2m LFC want would be negated by approximately 3 minutes of negotiating over transfers?

 

Watching Real vs Granada...there are literally six Real fans at the ground.

That is the difference.

Edit. REAL are away..

 

Yes you might be right though somehow I expect most to spunk away the 30mil or whatever and only the most sensible will put it back into facilities

 

Granada is down south no? Is a long trip there. And the Spanish have never travelled.
