match prices

[ninjaterra]

ok, so we all know that, if we have the money, we're more then willing to go to a football match of the team we love so much and pay the gate price.

but do you honestly believe that your gate price is fair?

obviously you'll pay almost anything in a bid to push your club forwards, but do you feel you're being cheated out of your own pocket? that it reflects the quality of play? or that its actually underpriced?

do you think the cost of things inside the ground is fair? like food and drink?

thought it'd be interesting to see what peoplee thought about their own clubs prices, or even different clubs on away days.

so discuss. :)

at Weymouth the admission price for an adult is £13, with an extra couple quid being charged if you want to sit down.

i payed £240 for my season ticket, which meant i'd be saving £60 in the long run should i attend every home match.

i dont think the price is too bad in terms of average prices. when we were promoted, the ticket price was uped to reflect the prices of the other teams in the conference.

for the one off game, £13 isn't too expensive. but once you get people who want to go as a family (children cost about a fiver) you're looking at (for 2 adults/2 children) about £36 for gate prices alone.

it's cheap compared to premiership, but obviously the comfort and the quality of play is higher in the premiership.

a burger will cost you about £2 and a bottle of water just under that.

so it soon mounts up.

i think the price is fair in terms of what we're expecting, but it still seems damn expensive at times and the average person in weymouth (this area has one of the lowest average incomes in Britain) will not be able to afford to go too often.

this could also effect those willing to show up, or even kids trying to get into local football. after all, going to your mates to watch liverpool v man utd on sjky costs far less then getting the bus and paying to go in to watch a non-league outfit.

I think £15 is fair for a game. I sold an everton ticket for face value £39! Waaaay too much.

But aways cost a bomb wherever, whenever especially when United are in town.

4 aways this season:
Crewe: £18 (thats a top price, credit to them)
Southend: £30(for Southend? Insane)
Blackburn: £36 (:rolleyes: )
Boro: £31 (£26 the week before for Liverpool I believe)

Oh and £1 difference between southend and boro? Really.

upping the prices for another team just because you know you're going to get the crowds is just plain cheaky tbh... ...why didn't we do it against oxford...

I don't know what the prices are for a match here, but I would think it would be too much whatever it was. I hate the U.S.'s teams. But New England might be worth seeing if the price was under $50.

But I don't think I would pass on an offer to see Chelsea or Manchester Utd., even if it did cost a lot.

[kiko]

$50 is like £35 isn't it? :eek:

Oh and I'll happily sell you an over inflated ticket for a united match.

[ThatOneGirl]

$50 is pretty cheap here for a game ticket. American Football game tickets can cost almost $100.

I'd take your offer, but I'd never be able to get across the Pond, so it'd be useless to me.

Well my Chelsea prices have really varied this season...

Community Shield - £15 Brilliant price and a brilliant seat can't complain
Man City Home - £15 Decent price but no leg room only cheap because its the family area.
Reading Away - £31 for a child, terrible price for a newly promoted team
Sheff Utd Away - £22 Not bad still slightly overpriced for a child
Everton Away - £17 - Not a bad price considering they're a fairly big team they haven't outpriced fans completely yet.
Villa Home - £10 Brilliant price although it was the Carling Cup.

But still i've mentioned it before Chelsea prices in particular more than most others are way too high. £48 to see teams like Wigan and Blackburn at home doesn't exactly appeal to me!

[boro_boy]

wow that is a price change. Maybe the FA should set standard prices for matches, no matter who they are playing the price would be the same?

[true blue]

Ours is ;)

No matter who we're playing it's sh*t and overpriced

[I_AM_CANADIAN!]

$50 is like £35 isn't it? :eek:

Not sure what it is in American dollars, but for us 35 pounds is like $70...

I heard that Toronto FC tickets are going to cost from $10 to $30, depending on where you sit. I only wish that hockey tickets cost that little... To see the Leafs play live is almost literally impossible, unless you're ready to pay $300, and that's for the cheaper seats.:rolleyes:

13 quid for non-league football?

we can get in for 19 (10 for student members, under 16's and over 60's) for championship football

To watch non-league standard football being played in league one, standing costs you £8 for student and £13 if your not. Seating is £19.

thats a not bad considering I prefer to stand at matches.

When i'm earning a decent wage, i'd be happy to get a season ticket at Arsenal. Until then its sucky, because it costs too much.

£66 to go and see Man U + drinks, food, travel, easily over £80 for the day. Would be nice to see a good result out of that though.

I know that's what's nice about it...I hate going to away games, paying for a seat that I'm not going to use
