they aren't happy about ticket prices

£30

https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derby-county-bolton-ticket-prices-8675378

they charged us £24 last season

and Wigan £20 a few weeks ago

(also, they got 5,159 as opposed to Wigan's 4,700 so guess that's the last couple of blocks near the scoreboard)

I don’t see the problem with charging away fans the same as home fans 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly, but both too dear. Should be £20 max

Most of our fans won't have the travel costs on top though

Has that not been going on for over a 100 years 🤷🏻‍♂️

in more recent times there's a regard to the outlay for away fans 

Hence twenty is plenty etc 

Edited August 14, 20232 yr by DirtySanchez

30 pounds is too much for 3rd tier football.

Apart from visiting fans ( & i prefer the atmosphere at games when there's a sizeable away following ), it will put off some of our own less commited or less wealthy pay on the day supporters, & I'd expect that it will rebound on our own  travelling fans when clubs reciprocate & raise ticket prices for us.

Another masterstroke from that useless cunt, Neil the cunt. 

Agree it's too much.

Not into this personal criticism though and it won't be a decision taken lightly nor spitefully. 

They've made a number of investments and commitments which have improved things both on and off the pitch. 

Anderson was, and is, the one and only cunt. Eternally condemned as such.

They can only charge us what they charge their own fans, and prices will already be set for the season generally, so raising them isn’t really an option.  Doesn’t alter the fact that £30 is too much. In fact I bought tickets for Wigan and Derby and they were £32 (ESL), even worse.

Whilst £30 is a lot of money for Division 3 football, is anyone seriously not going to an away game, purely based on paying £30 instead of £20?

Every away game is at least £100pp, so what's another tenner?

Its obscene

80 quid before saturday and 90 on the day

And thats a day with neither junior in tow

Most of the on the day spend is avoidable, i guess

And out of that £100+ outlay, the club only sees a fraction of that in terms of the ticket and, if they’re lucky, a few quid from a pint and a pie. And that’s before the taxman arrives.

What does make me chuckle about the self righteous Prem fans crowing about their £30 away tickets is that the home tickets are sometimes quadruple that (and more). 

PL clubs could give tickets away for free, they don't need that revenue anywhere near as much as L1 & L2 clubs do.

Might have been mentioned elsewhere too, but Pompey v Derby is £32, I heard.

Not per person though. 2 adults and 2 teenagers going to Port Vale in a car aren’t shelling out £400.  If Vale or Barnsley charge us £30 I think we’d struggle to shift the usual number of tickets.

Aren’t your ‘juniors’ paying their own way yet? Mine are both out-earning me so I’d be bollocksed if I was buying all the drinks/food, etc.

Often buy em a few drinks

The only way that "£20s Plenty" will ever been taken on at EFL level is if it's subsidised by the big boys, otherwise it's a massive revenue stream lost for the sake of a few folk whinging every time a Cat A fixture comes around.

and the ones moaning loudest will be the ones moaning loudest when we dont 'show ambition'

theyre fucking idiots

 

we could, of course, change our pricing model and milk more out of the every week fans to make it cheaper for the pick and choosers

£25 is fair at this level

match ticket, bus or parking expenses and a home game works out very expensive for a family

personally our match day prices have gone up as we practically give concession season tickets away

Can’t say I understand the “at this level” or “to watch 3rd tier football” comment.

I tend to agree that £30 is too much, but it’s not because we are in League 1. I’m paying to watch Bolton, not the opposition, and watching Bolton in the Championship, L1, L2 etc. is worth the same in terms of entertainment value in my eyes. The only reason I could see for paying less in lower leagues would be the facilities in stadiums - I.e. you get much less in terms of facilities and experience vs. the grounds in the higher leagues (although I doubt many take that into consideration with prices).

£20s plenty 

So is £3k a week to play footy imo

It starts at the top 

And until more support comes down to the lower leagues this is how it will be 

I do think tickets should be cheaper 

But there's way dafter numbers in the game 

At least you can jib it online for nothing or next to nothing if you can't make the game

Agree to an extent, but it is simply human nature to be "less arsed" the lower a team goes.

We are going through a surge at the moment- our attendances are much bigger in league one than they were last time round- and that is great, but they were lower in league 2.

The "hard-core" fans are often spoken about, but even these numbers swell and shrink according to the division, and even the era we're in.

You can also accept a higher cost for top level games, as top level players demand higher wages and vice versa.

I know where you’re coming from and I generally look forward to playing whoever it’s against. But if we were playing Leeds in the championship tonight instead of Fleetwood in L1, I’d have an extra spring in my step, and I wouldn’t expect STs to be as cheap as they are. £30 for championship football just about acceptable, £25 for L1 in my opinion. I suppose that makes me a moaner but hey ho.

that's down the side

but they still charge £29 in the home ends to sit in the corners like the away end

so I assume they'll charge Pompey £29

If we could put them down the side and charged £30 I bet there would be the same complaints 

Think it's more a price issue more than anything 

Derbys defence were at it again last night, they are comical,   if you get chance then have a watch of all goals conceded this season.
