All about perception I guess It is, that first season they went up top price was £52, did we ever charge it? But it made us one of dearest clubs in country.

But it made us one of dearest clubs in country. That's a perfect point to be fair Many fans will have seen the headlines and never checked to see if they can actually afford to go again. Add to that how bizarre the ticketing site has been over the last few years, all the categories, and tiers of pricing, and then all the different memberships and club schemes that there are and it's possibly the most aggressively difficult things to buy for a casual fan.

It's like a record. you only buy it if you like the songs on it. If you don't like it you don't buy it .. I was a big fan of The Jam, but Style Council ? Bloody Supermarket Music .. I don't like my football clubs latest shirts.. So I won't buy them Good luck to those who want to buy them and well done to those who sell them, you've pulled a blinder ... Better luck next time for me I hope .... Waiting patiently for a Jam reunion Just like the Blue n white Stripes .......

matthefish2002 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Think they has always been a characteristic of Footy fans of the 'true fan' syndrome. Can remember people using 'part timers' when I was at School. But does seem to be a lot more prevalent these days though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't matter if you paid, jumped the turnstile, climbed over the ambulances, bunged the gateman etc. you physically had to be there. If all methods failed then you hung about and went in for the last 20. This was in the old 3rd then 2nd division too so it wasn't for guaranteed entertainment either.

Dont want to commit time to a season ticket (even though i could afford one), however there is no way im paying POTG prices. Shame but its my loss.

The only way is S6 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 1 hour ago, Owling Wolfe said: Season ticket on the North equals just over £24 a game, good view and what I consider to be a bargain to watch the team I support. I agree with all this. With the 10 month interest free option to buy, this works out at £55 a month. The bottom line is; supporters vote with their feet. Although it's their wallets that motivate the feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away fans are the difference, hence why PL attendances would constantly hit the high 20s, Swansea, Palace, Brighton excepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 POTG shouldnt be double to price. A tenner difference to season tickets is fair, there has to be some incentive for coughing up early. The difference since DC is staggering however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigthinrob Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 2 hours ago, @owlstalk said: Wonder what would happen IF a central body like the FA set the prices as standard for every club e.g. it's £25 for every club each game in any seat and no more no less, apart from away fans who are £20 Under 23's get in for a quid a game Sorted Are football clubs not private ltd companies with the right to govern their affairs in the way they see fit (for good or bad)? Wonder how many would be owners would be enticed to put their money into a club knowing that epitome of sound fiscal management and forward thinking time servers, the FA are dictating what they can & cannot do, especially with regard to finances. Maybe go one step further, get Corbyn & his cronies involved, promise everyone free entry, a free programme and a chauffeur driven limo to the ground and a guaranteed 3 points every game. Could have an annual pre season in North Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 1 hour ago, mattitheowl said: It's literally the only option though. If you go you justify the pricing, if you don't you oppose it (even if only because you are forced to). Everyone would prefer lower pricing, that's a given. I'd prefer petrol to be cheaper and holidays to cost less too. Oh and a 50% pay rise. But then again I live in the real world, where everything gets more expensive. Someone ought to point out to the Forest fans how fortunate they are for living in a world 25% percent less real than ours then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
