As posted way up this thread I went to buy my 7-y-o a ticket, saw it was £28 and thought "nah".

Given his level of interest, it's just too much, at least for me.

I just don't get it. If they don't want families then why make the shelf families only? They could have got away with charging £55 a ticket for what are terrific seats.

But if they do want families, why have they been hit with what? A 700% increase? I can't remember the price of an under 10 in the family stand last year but I think it was close to a fiver

City have sold out the away end.

No. One thing is clear from this: we're not going to hear any more talk of expanding capacity of the ground - not for a number of years,

I'm sure we'll sell out City or come close to a sellout but there are clearly not thousands of fans desperate for tickets. And if we struggle to sell out one of the top 6 clubs, we're going to find it hard to fill the ground for the likes of Watford or Swansea.

Worth bumping this gem.

3 weeks before the game, all standard tickets are gone, a handful of disabled and circa 60 family seats remain. Away end also sold out.

How did you find that out? Not doubting you for a second just curious.

My weekly wage was £5 10s 0d in 1965. That's why I couldn't ever afford a season ticket, in those days.

Bigger crowd v Darlington in Division 4 than v Man City.

Not surprised, a brilliant team being assembled. Even if they win handsomely, I'm sure even the home fans will appreciate the fantastic talents and their play.

Amazing that the Albion are now part of the PL.

Sold out apart from a few a the family stands and disabled seats.

Bring on the exchange

It's going to an amazing day, with a shock win for the Albion come final whistle. Who needs £100m's to build a squad?

Happy days.

Just 12 seats left on the shelf now. Guess that means the club can now fully justify not offering an under 10's price.

Only others in the stadium are diasabled / wheelchair / companion seats.

If you missed out and still want a ticket you will be dependant on whatver the ticket exchage offers unless any other pockets of seats pop up

Supply and demand = hard lines to families effected.

Can never understand there being age bands for children. They don't earn so should all be at the same fixed price.

£85 season tickets at the Amex just a year ago! That's the sort of move that hooks Sussex kids into being Albion fans for life.

I suppose with the new Sky/BT income, we can't afford to do that any more. Shame.

Indeed. A club for the few now.

I've never thought about it like that before, but yes, you make a good point.
