Anthnufc Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I reckon prices should be around £25 for everymatch, £35 is really expensive when the average person in newcastle earns around £50 per day (colleague next 2 me at work reckons its £70 a day...."hes wrong" !) . prices are way over the top, people that love football like me, we are being taken for idiots i think.

Guest toonlass Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Remember John Hall once said "A price for every pocket". Well bugger that. It takes me all year to save up for a season ticket for me and my bairn, and the cup/away games I get when I can afford. I pay the cheapest fees for a season ticket as we are in the front of the Leazes and yet it still comes to over £800 for me and my bairn(not including parking fees, food, drink and away games and travel). How the average joe is meant to afford this is beyond me, and £33 for one match is a disgrace up in the gods. Its about time there was an upper cap for tickets set at £20.

Guest goal! Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I've had to give up my season ticket after 7 seasons cos i can't afford it. I'll be able to get a half one then get one as normal every season after that though. 7 years of loyalty points down the piss. Gutted. Could you not have found someone to take your ticket for this season? I know plenty people that are or have sold their season tickets to someone else but kept it under their name.

I'm not sure how much price comes into it, if you want to go then you'll pay the £35, it's not even the price of a night on the beer or a sit down meal.

Guest Milburnthedog Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Ashley's just spent near £150m and will want a return at some stage. Let's hope for common sense for the cup games and we can get in for a reasonable fee, especially for the kids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club would rather have 52,000 people shouting to get the team through to the next round of the cup than 30,000 paying a higher price, I wouldn't worry too much about the prices for now, I expect that they'll not be too bad.

danny_nufc Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Pisses me off students complaining and wanting discounts. don't see single parent discounts, or unemployed discount, or discounts for people on low incomes. The only reason students get discounts anywhere isn't because out of the goodness of businessmens hearts, its because they have a disposable income in the first place. Ive just finished and aye I was skint alot of the time, but I was alot better off than alot of people working wiith shit jobs with kids etc. Prioritise or dont go.

ujpest doza Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Milburn Level 7 is £40 FFS and this is a cat B game, goes up to £45 for Mackems, Man utd, Libpool etc. I'll be surprised if there are many less than 52K in the ground come kick off, but the prices are sky high and the game is live on tv at a not too clever kick off time, particularly for exiles travelling by train.

Im not a single parent, but if I was I would say there should be a single parent scheme. Personally, my mams a single parent and I had to get a full time job or move out and go to college so I decided to move out. Student loans are for living on, along with my part time wages. The reason students get breaks is because theyre being educated to feed the national economy and need to be looked after, not out of the goodness of businessmens hearts. A lot of students are prioritising, thats the point were making about schemes. We can get a season ticket or be on the breadline for a year. Not every student lives at home, spends their loans on extravagances and expects hand outs, in fact I dont know any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I am a single mam, with three kids, who is doing an open university degree while working full time. I don't go out on the beer(apart from the couple of pints I have at the match), I don't smoke and I choose to spend my money on a decent house, a nice car and the season ticket for me and my eldest bairn. However it takes all year with me putting money away each month to make sure I have the money in May to renew my ticket. I think there should be income concessions for people who are on lower wages, have tickets in certain areas at a cheaper price for people who are not into prawn sandwiches and Bentleys.

Aye I think the prawn sandwich brigade bring in an income to the club, but if one club were to lower prices in certain areas for single parents, low incomes and students then they'd have a loyal and persistant fan base. Brand quality and all that if you look at it from a business point of view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who already has a ticket will receive a voucher for a free drink, providing they enter the stadium between 3.45pm and 4.30pm.
