I think it is too. Maybe we see it differently to others then

It is now, yes.

 

it always was

 

as a sad fcuker, football has always been too big a part of my life

 

there have always been games i've had to miss cos i couldn't justify the cost/time

I just dont see football as a product. I know this is me being illogical, and I fully understand all of the supply and demand arguments, but its football.

No, I agree. I'm just being practical that's all.

 

"Conference club Luton were unhappy to find their income will be hit because Premier League Norwich reduced their FA Cup fourth round tickets to £10 to ensure a healthy crowd at Carrow Road"

 

the rotten shits

 

Either the article's wrong or Luton are telling lies.

 

FA minimum is £15, isn't it, unless both clubs reach an agreement.

or Norwich are breaking the rules

£10 adults

 

£1 kids

 

a quick google would seem Norwich are playing fair - the rule is, the away team can be charged more for their fans IF the both teams agrees - now I'd like to see that happen somewhere and then see how it kicks off

"In the Competition Proper immediately after the draw is known, the Club playing at Home shall decide on the prices of admission, subject to a minimum price of £10.00 for all spectators other than concessions. The Away Club‟s spectators can only be charged more than the Home Club‟s spectators if mutually agreed by both Clubs. "

 

so if Luton wanted, they could ask Norwich to charge their fans more

 

* those are 2011/12 rules, but can't imagine they've changed

Ah, sorry, I thought it was £15, not £10 as the minimum.

I always thought both clubs had to agree on a reduced price - looks like I was wrong

Me too.

 

... although the away club have the option to charge their own fans more as long as the home club agrees . What sort of a cuntish club would do that???

 

Mind you, it's a business so it doesn't matter and there'd be no point even discussing it. :D

If you go to majority of games it is at the end of the day your choice. But over a year its expensive and that must put people off which in my opinion is wrong.

Me too.

works the other way as well

 

Morecambe could get City at home in the cup, and charge City £62, if City agreed to it

 

there's obviously a rule in place, so wondering who has done this in the past - a small home team against a big away team, or a small club away at a big club

But 742,000 claim to have been there.

 

It was still a slightly smaller attendance than when we played Darlington then

Norwich charging newcastle £58 and under 16'a £25, plus travel and whatever else thats very very expensive, especially for an under 16 whos not even working. Their pricing the working class fan out and trying to create an image of a 'new' fan who's middle class, sober, silent, sat and paid lots. #AgainstModernFootball

Football for me is now part of a day out in the fresh air with my mates. If I had any sense I'd go to Colls or Radcliffe Borough or somewhere and save myself a fortune, but I'm a skint Bolton fan.

It was £60 for the semi final at Wembley for the most expensive seat and £30 for cheapest! N kids were £50 n £20, im not being funny but if you trained it down, tube, food ale its a £200 day out, I think fair play for boycotting ir, some people have more money than sence on here

£2.00 a pint at Radcliffe , sky telly and a new bar.

Not a big ask

I paid £60 for Everton away once, my mam lost my ticket in the house during the week so I had get another at ground. Was worth it, we won 4-0.

Couldn't agree more.

I have 2 adult & 3 kid season tickets at a cost of around £800 a season. This I feel offers excellent value for money pro-rata. At least 2 of us regularly do around a dozen (realistically priced) aways per season but we didn't do Wembley. circa £500 for a day out for a fckin semi is a piss take. Had the end result been different then we would have paid it for the final, a FINAL, a SHOWCASE EVENT. Charging it for a semi is a liberty and a quick cash cow for the FA. I may get called shit fan for not attending but at least I'm not stupid. How many who ventured down there that disastrous day haven't shown their face since, (or even previously) but enjoyed the so called 'big game' vibe. This is the reason prices are so high. Once the glory hunters become involved then it becomes supply and demand with prices to match, effectively pricing a hell of a lot of 'genuine fans' out of the game.

More and more people are becoming annoyed at the treatment of fans, rising prices, overzealous stewards etc. Fans not customers. The against modern footballcampaign stuff etc seems to be getting more and more backing.
