100200300dear Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 £30 for an adult home ticket. I'm a student so therefore I get student rates but alot of my friends are in full time jobs and to watch 90 minutes of football £30 is absolutely ******* ridiculous. Works out at 33p a minute which is pathetic. If prices were lower I could've got maybe 10 people to come tomorrow, but instead I'm going by myself.

BristolCity1992 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Agree I could not afford it when I was a full time worker found it to hard to justify the price, however now I am a student as well I can afford it but I would not be going otherwise.

100200300dear Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I don't get it, they could've had like £200 out of us if it was £20ish a ticket, instead now they are going to get my £24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted August 20, 2010 Admin Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 No surprise the season ticket numbers are 3 or 4 times POTD. Even if you miss 5 or 6 matches, a season ticket still works out cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Is it that much? Thats embarassing. £30 is a joke and in this 'current climate' I think many will see £30 well spent else where. Glad I got a season ticket but those that haven't will drift away. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redredrobin5 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 hideous isnt it. I am taking my 6 yr old tomorrow, he cant wait, been before but loves it. Whilst its a quid a kid i can do it, but otherwise its expensive...when rugby season starts again i play rugby (semi pro, so worth it financially) and cant make many games so not to bad...Its the £3 pastie and £2 bottle of coke that doesnt help aswell!!!!!!!!!! Better not say too much more or DONNIE will be on here calling me a pratt AGAIN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be £3.30 cheaper for a lot of the people in the Dolman... Oh look! I've started an early-leaver debate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midge Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Do we as a club still have the opportunity to reduce prices for selected home games, I seem to remember Doncaster charging a fiver for our away fixture a few years back, surely it's worth charging £10 for games like Scunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Problem is midge people with season tickets moan if the club have too many offers, which in fairness I can understand. Another comparison of price - the cheapest England tickets for non members are £35. Champions league games knock out at Chelsea is 30 in all areas of the ground.

I know that mate, but would only be for one or two games, lets be honest as season ticket holders we'll attend if it's Rochdale at home, however not too many casual fans will turn out for Scunny if they nedd to Shell out £30. Of course though the point of the thread is fairly general isn't it that football is expensive, of course now they've opened the east end they could sell those seats at 10-15 quid a pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I seem to remember that's what the hope was, after season tickets the east end would have cheap pay on the day. The club never went that far. Can't say I blame them with the losses we're seeing year after year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howey_ducky Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 i made a very poor decision this season. was debating getting a season ticket as i've just moved back to bristol from manchester. saw the price of the season tickets and thought " shi-te, i could watch united for only £100 more (although, much less fun) i then debated whether to get a season ticket or not, decided not too. now i have ended up paying 30 notes a games to sit in the dolman, the club will make a fortune from me this year but that said, it'll be worth it because i can't stand to sit in the pub when all the lads have made the walk down the gate.

Many of the players in our squad can be deemed 'average'; only a few can be described as 'above average'. One or two 'top drawer'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glos Blue Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Oh my, another excuse for poor crowds. That's the average price for a ticket in the championship and I don't see Derby, Leeds, Cardiff, Leicester getting crowds of 13-15k. These are teams you apparently compete with.....

daisybcfc Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 It works out an expensive day all in. I bought my membership card and ticket working out at £50 (I wanted the card as I wanted priority for away trips), my 2 little cousins wanted to come too, as it was quid a kid I thought I'd take them, however they needed to be members too so another £12 came out of my pocket. To make things even worse they made me get some proof of age for my 9 and 13 year old cousins which was a pain in the neck. Therefore going to see City vs Barnsley has cost me £62 in tickets not even taking into account driving down from Worcester, food and parking. Its an expensive Saturday.

SimplyRed Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 leg and arm room justifies £68? what strange times we live in Try getting a 1st class 7-day season ticket Parkway - Paddington - £513. Standard class is £259 - That's almost double the price and all you get for your extra money is a wider seat and a free paper and a cup of coffee. Strange times indeed!

NickJ Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Another comparison of price - the cheapest England tickets for non members are £35. I've paid £25 per ticket for the next 2 England games, it would be £30 for non-members. Family enclosure tickets are £20 or £10 children. The cheapest tickets for the Hungary game were £20, or £15 for members. So depending on game the cheapest England tickets are the same or less than the cheapest POTD tickets to watch City play Barnsley. In real (ie price inflation adjusted) terms ticket prices are double what they were 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
