Away Ticket Prices v Ipswich and Sheff Wed

[Return of the Rev]

It is a disgrace and I hope no one pays it. What will the price for the return fixture be?

Ticket prices too high Really

Hillsborough is expensive, lousy and I won't be going there either. There are far nicer grounds for less money.

Irrelevant when you consider that a win there would be one of the most satisfying results of the season. Although given our record there just scoring a goal may be beyond us....

A win would be record breaking. I won't ever go back to that ground, ever.

 

[Official Old Man]

It's a case of supply and demand. If Ipswich lower the price to £20 would twice as many fans go? Look at MK Dons last season, we packed the stadium out at super low prices (including travel). But then would Ipswich want 5,000 away fans in their ground out singing the home end.
Perhaps an option would be to discuss this before any fixtures are released and teams agree between them to offer each others fans a £25 ticket.

 

[Geestar]

So if it were £30 people would go?

Have one less pint, go support your side.

If every team rises the prices by this much I would have to give up drinking completely!

 

[Giraffe]

If we want to be Premier League Ready shouldn't we already be capping our away prices for fans like Reading have?

In the scheme of things it really is small fry.

I think that the prices (beyond BHA control) are ridiculous and my possibly flippant comment was borne out of my suspicion that many will use it as an excuse to not go, when it was none too likely initially.
I would love to see genuinely the amount of travelling fans who will now not venture to say, Ipswich, simply because of the cost of the ticket.
My bet would be, and I stand to be corrected, very few.

I do largely agree with this. There are many ways to do an away day, but once transport, food and drink are also factored in, there isn't a huge amount of difference between the ticket costing, say £27 and £32.

However, I think there is psychological factor when the ticket goes from twenty-something to thirty-something.

There isn't a huge amount of difference based on one game....but it is a long season!

Depends how many tickets you are buying too. I pay for at least two and often four.

Diesel wise it probably costs me about £15 to get to Sheffield and back and we will have one drink at most and a pie. The majority of the cost is the tickets.

Ipswich away section is also a very uncomfortable and crowded area. If it was nicer, I'm sure a few people wouldn't mind paying a bit extra. The price, location, and area combined make it one of the least attractive venues.

I thought there was a rule in place to prevent clubs charging away fans more than home fans?

I also feel sure that 'Tuesday evening' will have a slight effect. In the 'uncomfortable' envelope, it is plush compared to the likes of Brentford and QPR. The designated pub over the bridge is fine, especially when you compare to the likes of Elland Road.
So, you'd be coming if it was £27.50?

No. I pay concession prices anyway. It's just not a ground that I like. Funnily enough, Brentford is more comfortable for me.
QPR is a death trap.

I think that comparable seats in the same stand have to be the same price for both home and away fans.

Does anyone know if they have automated turnstiles rather then actual humans? My mates that are going all have nus cards and I don't, just wondering what the chances of actually having to show one at any point are.

Turnstiles at both have automated turnstiles (barcode readers) but there are plenty of staff on hand to help

 

[Stat Brother]

How much will the Albion charge their fans to come to the AMEX?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Brentford are being charged 30 quid according to a Brentford supporting friend.


Don't think they are too impressed!

Football tickets are out of control

 

[Gazwag]

Wednesday is coming up as £33 a ticket
