I didn’t actually mention anything about the opening game. But anyway, had a quick look at Bristol City. Looks like they have two categories - Silver and Gold. Their first home game against Forest is a “Gold” category. Based on an adult ticket: Cheapest non-members price is 33 quid. Most expensive is 42 quid. Cheapest members price is 28 quid and most expensive is 38 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Norwich are also charging some daft prices this year. Cat a+ 50 quid for an adult. It’s not just a Wednesday thing. Football in general is a rip off and I blame the greed in the game. I blame daft FFP rules and unfair parachute payments. FFP rules imo force clubs to increase prices - whether it’s an excuse or a necessity I’ve no idea. Personally I think Chansiri has our best interests, and he’s pushing these prices out of necessity. Maybe I’m naive I dunno. But he’s not making bean out of us, and is plugging the gap with his own cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 the price difference between season ticket and pay on the day are fecking ridiculous ……..i'm 65 and pay 13 quid a game my mate who's 65 in august but they wont sell him a season ticket coz he misses the 4th of august cut off point by a few days will if he turns out for hull game pay £42 to sit next to me ……..even if I paid for a normal ST at 23 quid a game the difference would still be too much …...I feel for those that cant for what ever reason get a ST and can well understand there anger . I know I wouldn't pay it . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatfordOwl Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I hate the fact that this is a point that's rearing it's head again but the sad facts of the matter are that we will not attract new fans with an aggressive pricing structure in place. You can say what you like about the lowest priced games being £20 but there is zero justification for the highest priced tickets being close to £50 a chuck. It's a penalty for not purchasing a season ticket or membership at best, it's completely cutting off a proportion of the fanbase at worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Remember when Prince Naseem used to come out for his fights at the arena and fly down to the ring on a magic carpet after dancing like Michael Jackson in a graveyard? We should get the players to come on like that nobody ever complained about the ticket prices for prince Naseem fight because of the flying carpet thing makes sense to replicate that and therefore reduce and eliminate any moaning from our fans aboht ticket pricing once and for all Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
