Cheapest tickets for adults (North, SWC, extreme ends of WSU): Cat C: £30, Cat B: £35, Cat A: £45.

That's all so far.

Any ideas on teams/matches that fill those Categories?
I'm thinking
A - Arsenal, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Tottenham?
B - Everton, Leicester, Newcastle, Southampton, West Ham?
C - Bournemouth, Burnley, Huddersfield, Stoke, Swansea, Watford, West Brom?

That's a good call, imo...

£45 for the CHEAPEST seats for Cat A seems ridiculous! Especially when the away fans will only have to pay £30!

...even though at pretty much every ground we visit next season, we'll be paying less than most of the home fans around us?

This is what I do not understand. We will be charging more for our home fans who could be potentially sat right next to an away supporter who has only paid 30 sheets.

It's Premier League rules. It is felt that away fans, and the atmosphere that they help to create, is a key part of the Premier League product sold for gazillions around the world.

The pricing is designed to encourage away supporters to travel in number and fill away allocations.

Confused. Are we talking about £45 for Cat A or Cat C?

£45 for Cat A is £5 too much, £45 for Cat C will see a half empty stadium.

No need to be confused...read the OP. :)

Oh - and with 23k STH, the stadium is unlikely to be half full, whatever the match day ticket prices.
