£24?!?! Shame on you!

[pork pie]

Actually Cup games have admission prices agreed by both teams!

MAybe, but not by some tosser on a message board. I just don't see why these few people keep bitching on about the issue. The Club needs to grab every penny that it can - I am looking forward to us growing again as a club with the revenues from Amex.

Gotta laugh - Sunderland tickets for an equivalent (category B) match are £29 - now f*** off back to the Wear!

almost become my hero with words filled with wisdom

£24 would be ok, if they didn't add the £2 so the computer can stick it on your smart card

Still, I've paid up. As everyone has said, it's a darn sight better than paying the £25 for a seat at Withdean

Do sunderland get 50% of the gate receipts?
If so they should not be moaning

 

[Hoops Seagull]

Rubbish
last season £24 would have got you a plastic seat on a rickety bit of scaffolding at a ground only fit for the school sports day. Oh and the away fans would have paid top whack for only a couple of hundred tickets, a view they needed binoculars for and no roof (but a nice plastic bag aka a poncho, in your club colours, to sit in if it rained)

Now £24 GETS YOU a padded seat in an award winning state of the art stadium, WITH A ROOF and some of the FINEST PIES I have experienced in forty years watching BHA and THOUSANDS of tickets for away fans

Don't forget the club will get them Northern beer!!

Try paying £37 (inc booking fee) ! ouch !

I agree with what you say as I think the On Line booking fee is iniquitous.

The ticket price of £24 + is not unreasonable to my mind, the second last game I saw at Withdean against Saints I was sat in row A of the East Stand immediately behind the goal where you could see nothing, no pitch markings nor even the goalline. That cost me £24.00 on the day plus the £2.00 booking fee so if I go to the Sunderland game it will seem relatively a bargain.

 

[TottonSeagull]

we all agree, don't need to preach to the converted

No we don't, the moaners who still think we should charge Gillingham prices for a premiership opposition agree, most fans realise the normal price of a ticket is those stated and we just get a great deal on our season tickets.

Please don't assume everyone is moaning with you,

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

The club is a business, were playing an established prem team, of course prices are gonna be high

How many years ago was it Keane took them up? 4? Is this 'established'?

 

[Seagull on the wing]

For a carling cup tie £24 is a high price to pay for tickets!

Please get real fella,I came to Sunderland when we last played you...£30 ticket,plus travel,beer,food,programme...if you love your club £24 is a small amount these days...yes you have travel etc,but you get that on all away games....so will you be going....yes or no?

Would you say Stoke are not established?? The reason I say this is because Sunderland, and Stoke, are not considered relegation candidates, therefore I would consider them an established premiership team

 

[Boris Yeltsin]

Hasn't this game just become the most expensive home Albion game ever, so far?

£35 for lower west middle? Even Spurs was "only" £30.
