No discount for early bird renewals this time then! As someone said ã50 for a seat in the Ellerslie is steep by any standards. You can get tortured in Gauntanamo for much less.
We also need to factor in that there will only be 19 games included in these prices rather than 23. And you also need to fork out an extra ã35 if you want to be able to purchase extra individual tickets ahead of the queue (that has been normal practice until now). All things considered the real price rise when these things are considered is more like %45. I'm so annoyed I could scream... now where's that credit card? U Rrrrrrssss!
Looking at the other London premiership clubs, Fulham seem to be the cheapest but we are still cheaper than Arsenal Spurs and Chelsea
Prawn Sandwiches anyone??? ã9.99 each... What's wrong sir, are you choking? Sorry, I thought they only choked in Cardiff!
When you think that you get a knee massage from the seat in front and a cuddle from the people either side as well as a game of football, I don't know what the fuss is all about
Its crimnal really , Our top season ticket price last season was in the top ten in the country , we must be higher than that now. In comparison to the clubs at our level we are far too expensive ....
QPR fans furious over ticket price increase PA Wednesday, 25 May 2011 Share Print Email Text Size Normal Large Extra Large Briatore is already a major shareholder in the club GETTY IMAGES Flavio Briatore is a major shareholder in the club Photos enlarge QPR fans have reacted angrily after learning they will be charged up to ã72 to watch their team in the Barclays Premier League next season. Club owners Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal are cashing in on the club's promotion back to the top flight by hiking the prices of both matchday and season tickets. The cheapest tickets will be ã47 while season tickets are up by almost 40% from last term, although with four home games less in the Premier League compared to the npower Championship, the increase is even more in real terms. The price rises were widely predicted but have still been met with dismay by many Rangers fans. "It's an absolute disgrace and, yet again, underlines the total contempt the owners of QPR have for the fans," said Paul Finney of the Independent R's website. "Flavio Briatore's dream is a 'boutique' club, which has an exclusive feel to it and is the place for wealthy people to be seen. "Not only is that a slap in the face of QPR supporters, it is not in the long-term interests of a club that has two other Premier League clubs (Chelsea and Fulham) on its doorstep."
"Not only is that a slap in the face of QPR supporters, it is not in the long-term interests of a club that has two other Premier League clubs (Chelsea and Fulham) on its doorstep." This is very true
So my Gold season ticket is now ã759 and my 16 year olds ã499.Much as i feared, But what can you do but pay it, we wanted Premier league football now we have to pay for it. lets just hope we get a few additions to the squad i don't want to be paying this much to see us hammered every week.
I think the general issue is we are paying Man Utd prices to watch Wigan football ( to run the comparison . I Just hope the owners now match the prices with the calibre of player it deserves.
aboslute joke, they shoudl be ashamed about doing this to the fans who've put their hand in their pockets with the bucket collections over the years. 2 years ago, i went to the champiosn league semi-final between chelsea and barca and my ticket that night cost ã50. that was for arguably the 2 best teams in the world. i called my mate up today and found out our cheapest ticket is more expensive than the cheapest one at chelsea. how can they honestly attempt to justify this? we're not going to finish top 4 and we'll make at least ã40 million more from increased tv reciepts
Quote from the website 'Global superstars including Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez, Cesc Fabregas and Steven Gerrard will all strut their stuff in W12 next season, offering Rangers supporters the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the greatest players ever to grace the beautiful game.' Can we get a refund if one of these "superstars" doesnt show?
just found out as well that its cheaper to get a season ticket down the road in the kop at anfield than in the loft or south africa road, let alone the platinum areas
You know - I'm sure that these same comments were plastered all over 606 last year.... and the year before that.... and the year before that..... Sadly, if you want cheap football, there are regular trains to Sheffield.....
ive been sitting here a the past hour trying to justify paying ã1258, my head says **** that but my heart says pay the ****ing money, watching how my son has started planning our away trips means heart wins but i aint happy.
agreed those that can't be season ticket holders for 1 reason or another are no less of a fan, we are just one big family
Dave McIntyre/Kilburn Times QPR hit fans with huge ticket price increase The scale of QPR’s re-branding as a ’boutique’ club was underlined when they announced jaw-dropping price rises for next season. Rangers fans will be charged up to a whopping ã72 to watch their team when the Premier League gets under way in August. Owners Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal are cashing in on the promotion to the top flight that has turned their vision of Rangers as an exclusive club for wealthy fans into a reality. The cheapest tickets will be ã47, while season tickets are up by almost 40 per cent from last term – although the increase is around 67 per cent in real terms given that there are fewer home fixtures in the Premier League. Massive increases were inevitable given the owners’ intention to change the face of QPR – and the fact that only intervention by the Football League prevented them from further increasing the already sky-high prices for Championship football at Loftus Road. But confirmation of the news has still been greeted with shock and dismay by many Rangers fans. “It’s an absolute disgrace and, yet again, underlines the total contempt the owners of QPR have for the fans,” said Paul Finney of the Independent Rs website. “You have Fulham, just down the road, who have worked hard to foster local support and made no bones about doing so on QPR’s patch. “Fulham are able to do that because Rangers aren’t interested in generating that kind of support. The clientele QPR are looking to attract is totally different. “Flavio Briatore’s dream is a ’boutique’ club, which has an exclusive feel to it and is the place for wealthy people to be seen. “Not only is that a slap in the face of QPR supporters, it is not in the long-term interests of a club that has two other Premier League clubs (Chelsea and Fulham) on its doorstep.” Are you a loyal QPR fan who can’t afford the new ticket prices?
