Again, the opening post was drawing attention to a ticket price (covering a number of seats in our ground) that have broken the £40 barrier. It's a discussion, not attention seeking.
I'm not moaning at the club. To carry on and get promoted, they need to attract the better players, as you know.
I'm moaning about all the money ending up going out of the game and in to pockets of those who work less than the average man or woman.
I don't see footballers as playing a role...
There are a lot of people missing the point. £43 is the most expensive for category A games, but that doesn't negate the fact that it is an expensive ticket for a football match. Whether you want to/are capable of paying it.
What's so hard to understand about that?
That's not very good economics. It doesn't factor in 'brand loyalty' for a start. Something can be expensive, but still sell well.
We're a nation of overspenders. The proof is in the (piglet) pie.
No. I switched my car for a bike. I could probably afford a season ticket, but it doesn't really make sense with the ability to attend not all matches. I could probably afford the ticket prices on a semi-regular basis, but I don't feel comfortable with the price.
I'm not taking a moral high...
The OP is not complaining. His opening post asked if our WSL price of £43 was one of the most expensive tickets in the league. He didn't state that you can only buy a ticket for that price. The conversation then moved on.
I'm definitely out of the habit. I went to Withdean more than I did to the Amex. An average of 15 games a season (for the duration of our stay), down to 10 visits to our new home. Everyone has their price limit. I think £30+ to watch a game of football is ridiculous. I don't plan on going this...
I wish people would stop complaining about discussions on prices and simply dismissing it as moaning. It's a valid discussion, hardly comparable to complaining about pie heat/sauce density/running out of Harveys or what-have-you.
