havanatopia Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 This season lowest walk up prices were £20 and next season the flat rate is a whopping £35. Swans are no better than QPR for fleecing the fans are they? Or does it not matter bearing in mind all but 2000 seats will be left available for walk up home fans?

Nibor Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Swansea's prices are what... 15-20% above ours now? QPR's are much higher. It's a very big raise all in one go and probably a bit too much but they're not comparable really. What price were the season ticket renewals? QPR's went up hugely even for long term season ticket holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcliffe 78 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Swansea need to maxamise there earnings, there chairmen has got them up without spending stupid money, to ask fans to pay 15-20% more why not,?, they will see some of the best players in the world?

I would pay £35.00 to watch my team in the Prem compared to the amount I pay to watch a load of Championship shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screech Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 £20-£25 tops is all I am prepared to pay, some say that's cheap, I don't think it is. With all the money in the game It's pretty shameful that we have to pay the dearest prices in Europe. I am now a semi- retired football fan, I will pick and choose when and where I turn up for games if at all, I'll still follow the team but I am not prepared to pay out high prices to service players ridiculous wages. They aren't any better technically than players of years gone by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffBlackLabel Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Not quite as bad as QPR, but like you said, in percentage terms a huge increase. They've sold 16,000 season tickets (less than Cardiff! Bloobirds!) and only need to sell 2,000 home tickets at £35 a week. No problem there. THe 2,000 away tickets will be snapped up too.

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Too much yes, but if fans will pay it they can't complain I suppose. In a European context though, I'd say football here is overpriced generally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
