For a carling cup tie £24 is a high price to pay for tickets!
Welcome to the rich south! Who are you to decide our ticket prices. If they don't sell, the price will have been too high. If they do - what is your problem?

If it was at the SoL it would be £15 tops, and £5 for kids!
Good opportunity to try the view from another part of the ground!

Just interested to find out.

No for league games we have Cat a games, scum, man united, chelsea etc; then all the rest are a different price
Sunderland always get done (same as newcastle) at away games with high tickets prices, due to our big away support!

I think the prices are too high, am seriously considering giving this a swerve.
That's because not a lot of Sunderland fans would want to pay that much to see you lot play a Championship side, so they lower the prices accordingly. Plus you have 40,000 odd seats to sell, whereas we have 22,000 to sell, along with the fact that everyone wants to be at every home game because of the new ground and the current buzz around the club, and that we are playing an established Premier League side. + Southern prices of course.
I agree that the tickets are overpriced for a Carling Cup 2nd round game, but we're going to get 16-18k in guaranteed anyway, so the club would be stupid if they didn't make as much profit out of it as possible.

Actually Cup games have admission prices agreed by both teams!

Eaxctley and £24 is a lot so see our reserves probably loose against you.

Yes, but it is not an attractive fixture up there. So, you would NEED to discount the tickets - or give them away, to get rid of them.

Good - stay at home and half the away end can be used for home fans - simples!

We still need income from conventional sources (ticket sales) in order to run our club. The millions you get from SKY appears to have affected your memory when it comes to how normal clubs generate their income.For a carling cup tie £24 is a high price to pay for tickets!
You have two choices: pay £24 and attend or stay at home. You'll probably pay a decent amount in travel costs and food/beer so another 5 or 10 quid is nothing really when looking at your total costs for the day.
My seat is going to cost me £33 plus a booking fee so I'm looking at £35. If it had been a proper premier league club I might have gone...

That would be the stadium that you struggle to fill, isn't it?

This is how I see it. At the end of the day if we want to sustain our time in the championship and watch decent football week in, week out, we have to be prepared to pay these prices sometimes.
The clubs wage bill has probably doubled since moving in to the Amex and there are also a lot of other overheads the club did not have at The Withdean. And if we want to attract the very best players in the future, we need to be able to cover their wages.
I am absolutely chuffed to see the quality of CMS and Buckley arrive at our club. If we wont more like this we need to pay.

Totally agree, which is why I'm going!
Then it should also be "Shame on Sunderland" too.
