Of course we didn’t. The game is being played at our ground & so presumably the FA will pay us a sum for that, but pricing of a game we aren’t involved in has absolutely nothing to do with us.

BUTOR Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 All the anti super league talk from the FA and they’re pricing out conference fans. They were just sad they weren’t getting a slice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sheene Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 It would of been £42 if Wembley were available which it isn't. So they made the decision to play it at Ashton Gate the Wembley of the west! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Disgraceful, indefensible from the FA. It seems that absolutely nothing has been learnt from the last year. The sooner that football finance and governance goes through root and branch reform the better. Football is a peoples' game or it is nothing - the current shower are nowhere near fit for purpose and need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 I would expect that the pricing was dictated by the number of tickets that could be sold given Covid restrictions. IIRC each team receieves a maximum of 6,000 tickets meaning that <reaches for calculator> there will be 12,000 tickets sold giving revenue of £504k. I would guess, and it's just that, the EFL (presume them rather than FA) set £500k as the anticipated gate receipts for the final when setting prize money for the play-offs and covering costs. If a capacity crowd of 27,000 was allowed then tickets would be £19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 £50 to watch Bristol! I appreciate its rugby, but just the general cost of tickets for all manner of events, seems way out of line to me. I fancied going to see a band at the Academy in November but they wanted £52! No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing but clubs will budget according to expectations of gate receipts and £250k or maybe net £200k for a play-off final doesn't sound unreasonable. My base though is that with less seats available the prices rise to maintain the income; some pubs raised beer prices by 20% to reflect lower sales from lower cpacity under Covid rules. Businesses need to maintain income to cover their costs; if fewer tickets are available then it is not unreasonable for them to charge more. I'm very much not saying that it's okay or using the argument that "you don't have to pay it" because what regular supporter of either club would pass up the chance to see the play-off final for the sake of another £20?

1960maaan Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 The Fylde V Salford City game was £41. The Hartlepool site says .... Ticket prices have been set by the National League and all tickets are £41.00 (+ £1.25 booking fee per ticket) – there are no concessions available. They have 3100 tickets for the Atyeo, South and Dolman stands. I guess Torquay get the same for the Lansdown . I know they want to make some money back, and whatever the price they will likely sell most of them, but if they don't they only have to look at the pricing to see why. Plus no concessions !!

ExiledAjax Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 It's possible to pay about £42 for a potd ticket for a City game. I've done it. As a club we're no stranger to these prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise it's been confirmed that it was the National League, but I'd have been very surprised if it had been the EFL as it's not a competition under their governance. The win will take the victors into EFL governance, but it was very much a National League match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Hartlepool that's a 3 bed semi detached I had a young lad at work doing some training with me last year and he was outraged that his rent on his 3 bed detached near the coast between Hartlepool and Middlesbrough had gone up to £235 per month! He calmed down when I told him the price my daughter was paying for a 2 bed in Stroud was over 600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
