Guest MattP Posted 11 January 2013 Share Posted 11 January 2013 If only we were like the Germans. Dortmund started a protest movement in two years ago after the club had the gall to try and charge them 20 euros for a ticket. http://soccernet.esp...protest?cc=5739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveaway Posted 11 January 2013 Share Posted 11 January 2013 Tell me about it my father in law is a bond seat holder at the gunners, his season ticket is 1750 pounds per year, works out to an average 75 pound a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a 'bond seat' season ticket? Those prices make the man city tickets sound cheap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Posted 11 January 2013 Share Posted 11 January 2013 I bet they'll flog that 900 to to tourists etc no problem. Top flight London Football cant be compared to anything else, as they have an almost endless stream of people who will to pay up and go. Especially Arsenal and Chelsea. You cant charge that to see Leicester. Wont happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxfordfox83 Posted 11 January 2013 Share Posted 11 January 2013 Thank god for sky :-) -Yeah, those heroic men of honour, spending our money to secure their monopoly, driving sport off free channels and pumping so much armchair money into football (and cricket, and rugby) that they don't need fans at games any more.

BrumFox Posted 11 January 2013 Share Posted 11 January 2013 just a note about foreign football, i'm currently in holland, and i've been to see the local side who are top of the dutch second division for 12 euros, and seen fortuna dusseldorf who are in the german bundasliga for 16 euros. both of these games i sat in really good seats. incredibly cheap in comparison. suppose you can argue that the level of football isn't as good, but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People complain now at away ticket prices. Imagine £62...I mean come on £62?!?!?!?!?! As we'd be catagorey C it'd be much less than that. If it's what their prices start at.......which is £25.50, I think that's actually really good. Although if we do go up prices are obviously going to increase, home and away. It's the nature of sport not just football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Numan Posted 11 January 2013 Share Posted 11 January 2013 I interesting claim would you like to expand ? Why ? You shouldn't need my help to work that one out. If you're wondering why I also blame the customers, everyone who pays a sky sports subscription gave them the money and the power to start creating their sports monopoly.

Corky Posted 11 January 2013 Share Posted 11 January 2013 We wouldn't be that much, we'd be in the lowest category which is quite a drop (around £27 I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 11 January 2013 Share Posted 11 January 2013 You could argue that the Sky money they receive is sufficient to remove the need for charging high prices. The problem with TV exposure was always expected to be a reduction in attendances this doesn't seem to be the case though. Over paying players in the pursuit of success blindly supported and demanded by so many fans is the main reason for high prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 11 January 2013 Share Posted 11 January 2013 I'd like to think that with Pearson's ability to find players with good ability and work ethic without the massive pay demands, if we were to get promoted then the expenses wouldn't increase nearly as much as a club with a big-spender at the helm. Whether or not the board/owners would be kind enough to not double the cost of tickets remains to be seen, but it's pretty well run at the moment, hence the good average attendances we have currently I'd fully expect tickets to go from £15-£25 up to £25-£40 (maybe for the top fixtures - Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal) but I'd be amazed if overnight we're charging Arsenal prices - they're notorious for overcharging, but their pedigree and large following means they'll still sell. I imagine the owners would realise that charging £60+ for almost any fixture would result in Coventry-like attendances and would make the club look ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 11 January 2013 Share Posted 11 January 2013 I think a stadium extension which could happen if we go up could offset ticket prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
