In the current hard financial climate, ticket prices for the "floating" football "fan" are worth looking at if any "floater" is thinking of attending a game.
Diddy Championship Prices -
Stoke City {flying high}
Cat A games £24-32 Cat B games £19-27
Sheffield United
Cat A games £26-30 Cat B games 320-£24 Cat C games £10

Diddy Div 1 Prices -

Forest

Leeds United

All prices are ADULT prices, clubs obviously offer discounts for OAP'S Juniors and of course Students.

Supporters of clubs, whatever the league, pay and go.
Floaters do not.
FACT.
Obviously "floaters" support when successful.
Fans [fanatics] just support whatever.
FACT.

we don't actually offer student prices unless they are members/buying a season ticket- regular match day prices apply to students (same with the £11 kids prices- £14 unless a member to cover single match membership)
do some research before posting

FACT
S Wed v Leicester away on 26 April [great date]
Tickets £15 for U22'S and STUDENTS with a NUS.
Better still on 14 April [h] U16'S get in for a quid.
FACT.

so away games is now us selling student tickets?
no, it's leicester selling student tickets- we don't offer stdent tickets to non members. FACT
and kids for a quid is a one off game, again not usually available and only available subject to conditions. the £11 ticket is actually £14 unless a member. FACT
little research would go a long way

Sheff Wed season ticket holders can purchase a £5 guest ticket for the home game on the 14 April.
That will push the attendance up.
Trying luncheon meat now.

Our prices went up when we got relegated! It's because the small clubs are in so much debt.
I've stopped going to Brentford now...£18 a game to stand is a rip-off!

Jesus :O I'd have cried! It's scandelous if they go up when the team goes down. Obviously like you said, it's because of the debt but the fans are the ones keeping the team in business and if it's the business that's failing why should the fans lose out! Robbing b@stards! :laugh

Calm down.
Don't cry.
Football is a sport, not a business:bye
Fans don't lose out, if they turn up, pay, and support their club.
It is only money, spend it. No good being the richest person in the graveyard. If you love your club, pay and support.

It clearly is a business. Hence football players getting paid WAGES, hence the hierarchy, hence the need to get more money.
Also, I compeletely agree that it is no good having loads of money if you're not going to spend it as you can't take it to the grave with you but if people can't afford to go then they can't and that's that. You can say what you like but realistically, people have higher priorities than attending every football match when they have a low income and putting up the prices when you get relegated is shocking, IMO.

he needs his simplistic views picking apart otherwise he'll go through the rest of his life still believing life is as easy as that (how he can truly believe that fans don't lose out when wages generally go up below inflation and prices go up well above is beyond me, never mind factoring in the new and disproportionately raised taxes)

I do feel that his views are very simplistic. No matter what anybody says, there are priorities, such as a family, education and just staying alive, that come before football. To maintain your family, your education, or just to keep eating and living in a house, you need money. If your money is going on those things then how the hell can you afford to go to football?
I'm lucky that my birthday is close to the beginning of the season and so generally I get a season ticket for my birthday/with birthday money and don't have to fork out for it. For the people who have to pay £18, £22, £30 or whatever each week, that's money that would have been spent on living costs and lets face it, living comes before watching football.
Calm down.
Don't cry.

That's assuming you have the money in the first place. Also why should clubs abuse the fact that some people will go to matches no matter what?

Yes, I appreciate that everyone is different in regard to their disposable income.
But then again some people, myself included, do not drink and do not smoke, so maybe prefer to spend their money following a football team or maybe spending their money on collecting books, who knows.
But it is a fact of life that unfortunately prices rise, look at fuel prices and food prices for instance.
It is also unfortunate that your club elected to raise prices, the fact that some people will elect to refrain from attending matches is something that the people who run your club will have to assess if it was a wise move at the end of the season.
Have your attendances dropped Westboy?
It is in my view "a simple choice" it is my choice to either go and support my club or not, in regard to your situation it is your choice.
It maybe a simplistic view, but there does not appear to be any other.
You go or you don't go, no big deal, simple.

You're right to a point. It is a case of priorities. I think as a single person the choice is far more simple, but dependants add yet another dimension. It would be a shame to see poorer people out-priced from the game though. The cost of a season ticket is a huge lump sum for some to be able to find from their weekly/monthly budget. I do take your point though that if football is really that important to them then they would sacrifice other pleasures in life to find the cash to go watch their team.

It is not a matter of being rich or poor Jonesy.
I know people who are on £300-350 a week who hardly miss any game. I also know people who are on £100,000+ a year who miss many.
It is simple, it is a personal choice.

it isn't simple- everyone has outgoings, booze and cigs come top of peoples because a friday night in the pub is the only chance to get together with everyone. when the budgets announced those people get hit with extra costs more than inflation. they then have a wage increase less than inflation (usually) which means that even if they quit drinking and smoking they have higher living costs. nothing is simple- although it must be great living in your world

No need for apologies Miss Jones.
What is rich what is poor. I have probably quoted this proverb on here before - "man with no shoes weeps for man with no feet"
That to me, sums up the difference between rich and poor.
Be thankful for what you have and make the most of life.

Do you go on the GPG by the way mate?

Trouble is the more people have the more they usually want. Unfortunately desire and want are the mechanisms that drives people forward. Think it's Buddha who said that in order to achieve inner peace you have to not want anything, but its easier said than done. I imagine its want and desire that originally brought us down from the trees and set us on the journey to humanity in the first place. You do sound very content with your lot in life Mr Swan, you truely are blessed.

erm yeah but whats that got to do with anything?

I am a happy Swan, I do not want for anything. Yes I am contented, I have a small band of brother Swans who I would die for and they for me.
Paddling the waterways of life is a cheery place to paddle, you should try it my esteemed member of the month
I don't want but I would "like Leeds United to be a major force in football" but I am a realist and realise that it may never happen.
Want and like are completeley different.
I would like "all clubs" to bring the price of tickets down, but I am a realist and realise that this will never happen.
It would be fantastic to see all stadiums in the country full. But I am a realist and even if every club dropped their price to say £8 a game across the board, I know that some "floaters" would not attend. Some stadiums would still be no where near full.
So Miss Jones, a simple choice pay and go, no pay no show.
I am going back up my tree for now, catch you later Miss Jones.

Desire and Want= Ambition,what's wrong with that.I always aim to do better than i did yesterday,and if i do it has a positive effect on many other's,in my working environment.My personal drive and ambition's can make life better,for lots of people that work under me.If i can make their lives better in anyway,however slight,is that a bad thing.Or would it be better if we were all slobs,happy to draw the dole,sitting in our council flats,in rundown ghetto's??.
Over to you.

Not at all! I wasn't judging. I too myself am filled with want and desire. I remeber asking and praying for what I have now and promising I would be eternally grateful, but if I'm honest I would like more. Wanting can be a good thing, like I say without that endless desire for something more or better, we wouldn't be the amazing intelligent species that we are today. But the downside of want and desire is greed. Of never being satisfied with what you have and never to taking the time to appreciate it. I guess like all things there is a happy medium. To be driven in life can also be a blessing I'm sure if reaching the top is what makes you happy. Are you happy SA?
