S.S.R. Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Do you think the current pricing of our season tickets is fair, and is the recent rise - which is above inflation - justified? The Premier League have recently negotiated lucrative new tv deals - How come we're being squeezed for even more money? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 £300 for me ( a child ) is shocking, i'll just about manage to scrape another year as a child next year and it's a good job. Adult season tickets are how much ? £600 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sam Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Would prefer to pay less than I do, but we get at least 50,000 every game, so yes, I think the prices are fair. We pay nothing compared to some other clubs' fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCW1983 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 was talking to a lad at villa last weekend and im sure he said his cost 350 and considering theirs and our position you can see who is getting value for money lol I do think season tickets are a bit high but even if it cost £1k id still buy one and thats the problem really, they know they can get away with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJbarnes Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 looking at the season ticket prices, i think they are ridiculous. im not from newcastle but its not one of the most expensive areas of the country,and we dont play amazing football. yes they are exploiting the fans, but theres 19 other premierleague clubs that do this. portsmouths season tickets are up to £745 and fulhams are £300. god knows what man u's are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJbarnes Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Who gets the better value chelsea £1150 toon £600 Would you pay chelsea prices for there kind of football ? im assuming these prices are for the best seats in each respective stadium? chelseas was west stand upper if so, chelsea mugs are paying over £60 a game, which is ridiculous when you consider they only ever win 1-0 and some of those 19 games are against the likes of sunderland, derby, bolton ours work out at £31.50 a game, plus free home cup games? still not great, would be ok if we were in the top 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Arsenal ticket prices are fair. The media are over acting with the prices. I as a cannon club member(silver) can get tickets to any match for £20 They also go on sale to silver members first! The media dont mention this, i am very happy with the prices!

OK fair enough it was a simplistic comment, but to use a horrible capitalist phrase, the market will only stand what people can afford to pay. Until enough people decide they can't/won't pay the prices which are being charged they will not come down. Its supply and demand unfortunatley.

brummie Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Mine is the most expensive in the house at Villa Park, at a very reasonable £475. That's because we don't have any premium type seats, and we don't have those because Ellis did not have the first idea how to make proper money out of modern football (other than for himself).

Although, football clubs could still do very well financially AND buy decent players without the need to bumrape the fans as much as they do. Some of the prices charged by London clubs are outrageous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Im not a season ticket holder as most will know, but to those who are, does this season go down as the biggest waste of money in memory - as far as results and performances go? Started off pretty well, with victories over Wigan, West Ham, Everton and Spurs then things took a serious nosedive starting with the Pompey and Liverpool games, some pride restored against Arsenal and Brum, before hitting a low again against Derby.
