I don't think it's a crazy pricing list tbh. It's not cheap but it's not eyewaterlingly expensive. You could do a parent plus 3 kids in the Lansdown for 40. That's about the same as a single potd ticket for a league match in the same area. It's a football match not a crèche 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 It might be just me but I struggle to get enthusiastic about a cup game when we draw someone in our own division, especially when we’re playing them the following week. I love the cup because it’s a nice change from the league, usually. I wouldn’t think those prices too high, maybe a bit, if it was against a team from another division, maybe one we haven’t played for years. I’ll probably make my mind up the day before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuffle Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Our pricing is nothing short of scandalous. My dad passed away last December & he attended with my mum & both had season tickets in the Dolman for over 45 years. My mum is desperate to watch a live game and I said I’d take her on Saturday to watch Huddersfield. She is 82 and I have paid £31 for her ticket… yes £31!!! I like others would never miss a game but Fulham is a stretch too far and by not attending is the only small protest I can make. Sad times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about the confusion. I was just continuing our banter and giving my reasons why I was unhappy about the pricing. I'm all for encouraging the kids to come as they will be our future but 2 or 3000 kids at a quid, who won't all come back again, won't make up for the loss of adult attendance at theses prices. I think they got it wrong this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've decided to come up with some other options for them - * Try going 90 minutes without eating and drinking. I can guarantee you will not keel over and die. * Purchase your food from Sainsburys or Aldi, both less than 10 mins walk from the ground. * Purchase your food from one of the 30 plus eateries all within 15 minutes walk of the stadium. * Make some sandwiches and a flask of coffee before you leave the house, likely cost about a quid.

Chip shop opposite The Robins.....or KFC if short on time, but to be honest, I'd rather wait until I get home and order a takeaway to be delivered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claverham_Red Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Crazy prices. Barely missed 5-10 home matches in 22 years including all cup home games but cannot justify those prices for this match. Was expecting £15 max for Dolman Central.

Jim Davey Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, ExiledAjax said: Teams aren't announced yet so far as I know. Our line up for the League Cup game in the summer included Kalas, Wells, HNM, Williams, and Nagy. You don't know how Pearson might see the FA Cup this season. A ticket for a student to this game is £10. Depending on how you define a "family" this game could be attended for £25 for three people - one adult and two under-12s in the SS. That's surely affordable for 95% of people if this is the one game they attend in a season. I agree that POTD is overpriced. Believe me, I pay it every time I come to AG. I understand that people want to moan, especially if they've already decided the game should be £10, but it's really quite good compared to our normal pricing. For context, last we set the following for the 3rd round v Shrewsbury. Adult prices are up this year, but kids are down. yep excellent value going to take the grand kids and my nephews. less than 30 quid bargain.COYR Edited December 13, 2021 by Jim Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I assume most of the people that post on this forum are season ticket holders and think anywhere between £15 and £20 is the going rate for a ticket to watch football and £25 is expensive for a football ticket. To add some context I looked up going to Exeter v Tranmere last weekend that was £25 - £25 to watch 2 league 2 teams play each other in far worse facilities than Ashton gate. £23 seems pretty reasonable to me even if it is second teams (which it won't be because we don't have a second 11 anymore) bearing in mind Fulham's second team is probably far better than league 2 standard. If I got a £5 ticket to this I wouldn't go football is duller than dishwater at the moment I only go with my season ticket because I have bought it, there's a small chance of it being entertaining and I like the social bit of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPLEY RED Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Well I go against the majority and say I don't think £23 is too bad, I just paid £27 for an adult ticket to Luton on Boxing Day. I'm not sure why the FA Cup games should be significantly less than a league game, I know most don't agree and I'll take some abuse for this opinion.
