Personally, I can't remember. But then I can't remember who my first game was against. Bad fan.

But do people on NSC remember how much they paid the first time they got an adult ticket for the Albion and what year it was?

You can use this website HERE to see what you paid in today's money. Works out inflation increase etc.

Yet to find a ticket price which, with inflation, should cost between £25 and £42.

These days it's 18 instead of 16 that you have to pay full whack. Mind you it was easier to get away with back then

Great joke...

Just because I could not remember mine does not mean I can't be interested to see how prices have changed over the years.

You weren't an adult in 1973! You were only about 14 when I first met you in 1974! ('Cabaret' at the Connaught in case you've forgotten. I was in it with your brother Robin)
