Silvio Dante Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 £35 adults £30 OAP or 18-21 £15 Under 18s At a time when games are being called off left right and centre, when there is a degree of doubt if fans will even be able to attend and when people have just had the expense of Christmas that’s ****ing scandalous. It’d be bad at the best of times (and we may be reaping what we sow with what we charge away fans), but asking people to commit the above when they have no idea if the game will even be on/attended is scandalous. I could swallow the adult ticket (just about) but the high price relative to other away games for kids is the real thing that sticks. Guess we know which team drove the FA cup pricing.

Our adult pricing is pretty similar isn’t it? Agree with your sentiments btw but if we are charging it we can’t really complain if others charge us the same.

weepywall Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I think "reap what you sow" is a very valid point, most away fans moan at our prices, it is London, so prices will be higher, too expensive for a Championship game in my opinion but we will still sell out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we will sell out. I think crowds are generally going to nosedive across all the divisions, whilst covid I'd rife again and awkward restrictions are in place. So many just aren't going to bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fall into that camp. I didn’t go on Saturday either due to the Omicron risks and not wanting to risk elderly family. The rates of Omicron in London are even higher so I won’t be risking train travel and a match there. Shame as Fulham is my favourite away day. Hopefully the eventual data on Omicron in the New Year turns out to be more positive though - especially re boosters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Worth noting Fulham are missing a stand hence the price increase. Not that I agree with those costs mind. I’ll still buy mine, if it gets cancelled we will get a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have updated the rules - a couple of seasons ago.

Bris Red Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Aslong as people keep paying the prices the clubs will keep charging it. A few grumbles on a forum or a couple of banners in the stands isn’t going to make a blind bit of difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 They know that we travel in numbers there, so of course they are going to charge us for the privilege. And as others say we aren’t saintly with what we charge either. I don’t think it will happen, I’m not fully convinced Luton will be on either.

Alex_BCFC Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 I don’t mind paying £35 for every away game at Fulham if they end up like the last 5 have. Sadly I think their poor run will end by then - probably ending with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a really interesting rebuild to follow (not as much as ours though!) and it's going to be a beast of a stand. I can't wait to see it and will hopefully sit it one day.

I have only been there once; around Christmas time (Boxing Day, if I recall correctly) back in the late 1980s, when City were in what was then the Third Division. By coincidence, for hopefully we shall witness the same scenario in a few weeks time, we had just beaten Fulham at home, in the FA Cup, and we managed to get a fine 1-0 win at Craven Cottage on a very cold day in front of an extremely small crowd for a Christmas fixture. The hospitality was excellent, though: a fine lunch in a tapas bar near to Fulham Broadway and, in the evening after the match, a wonderful dinner in a gorgeous Thai restaurant, also off Fulham Broadway; The Blue Elephant - well recommended if you are in the area.
