4ever and ever Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-3483888/Premier-League-clubs-cap-away-tickets-30-three-years-season-ground-breaking-agreement.html Great news. Should be £20 but its a brilliant start.
Staffs Fox Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Great news! £5 more than I think it should be but it's still a great start http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35764007
BrummieFOX Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Have to celebrate these successes. Not the £20 campaigned for but this will make a difference for lots and lots of fans. I imagine for fans of United/Man City etc pretty much all their away tickets will be cheaper than they have been this season. Good stuff.
kingcarr21 Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 That is great news. Heres hoping after 3 years it doesn't go back up
Fox92 Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Great news. I could say should be between £20/£25 but I'll not moan at something they've finally done.
Bayfox Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Finally a little common sense. Actually adds up to a decent saving if you take some of the prices we have been charged for Everton, Liverpool etc.
ajthefox Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Might be more than what was wanted but this is a great start.
Finnaldo Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Good news, just hope this isn't used as a stick to beat the Twenty's plenty campaign and turn it on the fans; "There's already a cap, you want less?!" etc.
BrummieFOX Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 I wonder if this will mean every single ticket will now be £30? As opposed to clubs ranking the games. E.g. Can't imagine Arsenal would charge a team £26 again when supposedly people are happy with £30.
AndWhat? Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Amazing news! Fair play to everyone who campaigned for this change. Might not be £20 but it will do nicely.
AjcW Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Anyone who moans at this needs to be shot. If you think a £30 cap is too much for entertainment these days, the people that moan are the exact same people that spend double that on Booze every week. Lets celebrate this as a positive. Please!
ScouseFox Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Anyone who moans at this needs to be shot. If you think a £30 cap is too much for entertainment these days, the people that moan are the exact same people that spend double that on Booze every week. Lets celebrate this as a positive. Please! it is still too expensive tbf
purpleronnie Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Great news. Let's face it money through gate receipts in the premiership isnt as essential as it it at lower levels, finally common sense prevails.
Fox92 Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Should be £20 (£25 max) after three years of it being £30.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Happy days, season ticket price freeze/reduction now please
Footballwipe Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Amazing news! Never thought we'd see the day that this happened! Here's hoping the £20 is phased in in the long term but to know the max cost of your away tickets for the next three years is superb!
Babylon Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Prices should be upped 6%, imagine what we could do with the extra £50,000 on top of our £170m turnover this year.
Hubert Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Average we've paid this season is a tad under £36 I think so you'd save over £100 on the season. That said if only the clubs charging more than £30 reduced it, and the clubs charging less kept it the same rather than raise to £30, then the saving would be greater.
ousefox Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Great news - my only concern is that teams that charged lower prices might put them up to £30 as standard. I wonder how the likes of Leeds and Ipswich react to this in the Championship.
Dan Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 Fantastic news. Well done to all fans who made their voices heard. Proof that we aren't as powerless as we think.
baylisslcfc Posted 9 March 2016 Posted 9 March 2016 £30 is great news. Take the prices of tickets for Liverpool, Chelsea and Norwich for example. We're saving £17, £22 and £15 (original price) next season, and they're just the games I can think of off the top of my head. Yes, as previously noted, we'll probably see an increase on the teams charging us below £30 this season; Arsenal being an example of this. But how many teams were charging below £30 anyway? In fact, I fully expected a hike in the prices clubs would charge our away fans on the back of our success this season; I would have been highly surprised if Arsenal still charged us £26 next season. So I'd imagine this would be a popular decision to cap tickets at £30 for our fan base in particular. In an ideal world, £20 tickets would be fantastic, and I don't imagine for one minute it will drop again after this three year deal. But the price of entertainment is high in this country. How many iconic bands/singers could you get a ticket to see for less than £30? I'm not saying it's right, and I fully understand people's argument about prices and how clubs can afford to drop them, but I think £30 is fairly good and for once the authorities have done something right.
