pillred Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 £181 cheaper to watch Man City, that's crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Nearly £1k for a Arsenal ticket, and that’s the cheapest. Insane, especially as they’re someway off challenging for the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham have presumably dropped their prices as they now have a much bigger stadium, you would have thought that Arsenal and Spurs could afford to do the same. It will be interesting to see if the balance of power and size of clubs changes over the next generation if they can keep that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference between Tottenham arsenal and west ham is how much the stadium cost them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower season ticket sales at greater per seta overhead, more membership/tourists, more profit. I can't help applaud Man City's pricing. Them and West Ham leading the way while the likes of Wolves, Villa, Bounremouth among others take the proverbial biscuit - especially with the cost of living scenario being what it is. Granted, this is price of cheapest seats so ultimately means nothing if not set in context of average pricing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richwwtk Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 The ridiculous thing about Arsenal setting their prices so high is that the ticket money accounts for such a tiny percentage of their overall income these days it would be nice of the clubs to actually give something back to their fans in the form of lower prices. But greed, as ever, wins out. Fair play to West Ham though. I know they are in a bigger ground now, but they are still selling out and they are a much more competitive side towards the top of the league since their move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnAstonVillafan Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 My ticket has gone from £426 to £531 this term. Approx. 3,000 ST holders from last season have decided not to renew. However there are more than 25,000 people on the waiting list. I suppose that demand gives them an incentive to hike up the fees. It's a shame as we used to used one of the best priced in the Prem. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one of Boris Johnson’s stupid, expensive ideas. No wonder they can afford to put prices down, even worse than Swansea’s free stadium deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAstonVillafan Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Worth also noting that West Ham and Man City have stadiums built at taxpayer expense which need to be filled for political and legacy purposes. Hence the artificially low ST prices available. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Also worth pointing out that whilst Arsenal & Spurs’ season tickets are really expensive, both clubs have ended up paying for a stadium move in Arsenal’s case & a massive refurbishment of White Hart Lane in Spurs’ case, themselves. In contrast to West Ham & Man City, as others have already pointed out, who got inordinate amounts of taxpayer cash. Spurs in particular, who were also interested in the Olympic stadium, must feel very hard done by. There is often a bigger picture than cheap prices are good & high ones not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinéadB Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 A couple of my mates have Villa STs and they have removed their cheapest area so all areas had a slight increase but also they had to move up a "pay grade" or whatever so that meant quite a high jump in their STs costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is it? A quick glance at the figures for 2018 show Arsenal's: Turnover: £403m Wages: £240m TV & Broadcasting income: £180m Gates & Matchday income: £99m Bournemouth - you are closer to the truth: TV money: £119m Match income: £5m But Bournemouth are a tinpot exception in the Prem. However, they lost money that season, so their £5m from tickets and pies was needed Brighton: Turnover: £139 TV: £110m Match income: £19m. And so it goes on. Ok, it's match day income not just tickets but is it a "tiny" percentage? Probably not to those charged with watching the pennies/millions at these clubs.

Mad Cyril Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 In reality, it's Manchester United fans facing the biggest cost hike this season. Petrol has gone through the roof. 4 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Not that I'm an Irons fan but West Ham offer good value for money. They are an attractive team to watch these days and you're almost guaranteed goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not to those charged with watching the pennies/millions at these clubs. 60,000 ST at a grand each is £60million and the other matchday income would be unchanged. Cut ticket prices in half and you are looking at around 5% of their income. You never know, a small moderation on some of their wages would more than cover that.

Anyway, we must be amongst the cheapest as well with South Stand Tickets at £380. The Lansdown stand is well over priced imo - the gap between that and the other stands isn't right.

I don't see the problem in the Lansdown costing more, for those who want to pay it. Go in the Dolman otherwise. Problem is when the Lansdown is the only available option, if other areas are full - but then, why not charge the latecomers/infrequent fans more..?
