How much did you first adult ticket for the Albion cost?

[Taybha]

1 bob 1968 , think it was a wednesday night v luton

 

[backson]

I think it was about £1 for adults, 50p for kids; about 1980ish

2s 6d. It jumped up to 4s the following season.

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.

I reckon some of the Withdean era tickets would come close, how much was a ticket in 2002/3

 

[Mileoakman]

I think I paid 6d (2.5p), when I first stood on the Chicken Run but that was probably a kiddies price in 1953. I think it doubled to 1 shilling, (5p), when I was 16

Perhaps the bottom end price of £25 (which will be crap midweek games) but I doubt even the Withdean years ticket prices would top £30 odd adjusted for inflation.

Whatever they were charging in 87/88 for the North West Terrace at the Goldstone. About £8 maybe?

The first game I went to was Brighton vs Man Utd in the 82/83 season. I got in for free as my Grandad used to sneak me in through the gate he was steward on. This went on for quite a while and I think the first game I actually can remember paying for was the cup game against Arsenal in 1988, although as I was only 13 then I am sure it would have been paid for by my Dad.

My first was 1979, as a kid, was 50p (adults were £1). First as an adult would have been around 1984, not sure what price it was for adults then.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

£4.00

Home match against Watford some time in 1980's.

 

[catfish]

My first season as an adult was 80/81 and I think it was £1.20. In 1972 it was 20p for my first ever game.

Was it as much as that? I'm thinking that it didn't cost much more than 5 quid to get on the terraces before the early 90s when things everywhere started getting silly. I think that's what we used to pay to go and watch Norwich while at uni in Div 1 - probably equivalent to about 15 quid now. That'd give Paul Barber the shivers.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Memory's a bit hazy on this one but am pretty sure I used to pay 70p to get into the North Stand around 77-78. £3.60 odd in today's money.

To give you an idea how the price of watching football has rocketed, I used to pay a similar amount to go the cinema.
These days you can go see a film for £6-10 (depending on where you live). Cost you more than that for quite a few non-league sides!

 

[Lenny Rider]

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)

Sorry mis read the thread on 23rd April 1973 I was 8 years old. My dad paid 50p to get in.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Season 1971/72..standing under the West Stand at The Goldstone. I'd guess that it was about five bob.....ie. 5 shillings which was decimalised to be 25p

 

[LowKarate]

I've always bought season tickets. What I do know, as I still have the season ticket book is that my first season in 1983/84 cost £21 for all 21 league matches (adult season ticket at the time was £42). So for me as a junior it was £1 per game and less than the price of 1 adult ticket at today's prices. £2 per game for an adult.

 

[seagurn]

70p.

 

[albionite]

£3 in north stand 1989 v Watford. Scored in last minute and I've been hooked ever since.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

40 pence.
