1, The price is exactly the same as for a league game.
2, Season ticket prices are cheaper per game because you are buying in bulk & upfront & are therefore getting a discount
3,This game is not part of the season ticket so why should it be cheaper?
4,We all have to make decisions based on price at some point be it the price of a ticket or the price of a holiday.It's an unfortunate fact of life.
5, BHA is not a charity so why do people expect them to act like some benevolent uncle?
6, If you don't want to pay full price don't go. if you cant afford to go, I'm very sorry for you but we've (nearly) all been in that position so reread point 5

I think £24 is a bit on the high side, but it's not to line TBs pocket. Clearly, whatever the club makes....will be re-invested in the club/players. No complaints from me about that.

I say we should all turn up at the Amex one night wearing hoodies and scarves and LOOT the ticket office*
*Hint for the Terminally Stupid: please do NOT turn up at the Amex wearing hoodies and scarves or loot the ticket office

Sorry but no.
What that suggests is that it is a marginal decision for you....... a suggestion reinforced by the majority of responses. Don't get me wrong, I am truly sorry that you can't afford to take all the family to every match (just as I can't) but you shouldn't blame the club any more than you should blame yourself. Maybe its a good time to get greedy and make it a treat just for Dad for once

I'm not blaming anyone. Just commenting on the fact that, although my circumstances haven't changed, I am seriously questioning, for the first time in 20+ years, whether or not to go to a home game, based on price. That is all.
TBH I also feel the same about Test Match tickets which have now gone up to £70+. I have stopped buying them.

Football should be the last thing you need to worry about after being made redundant. Meanwhile the club are a business and will charge what they deem punters will bear. It is expensive, but what isn't nowadays?
Excellent summation. Agree entirely, especially point 6.

the last time we played a 1st round carling cup tie at home before gills was played out in front of a crowd of around 5k at withdean , the crowd at the amex was 16k tickets priced at around a average of £18 per head , whilst i really do sympathise with those that genuinely cant afford the sunderland match times have moved on ,this club is in the early stages of a huge transformation on and off the pitch , and it does not come cheap , everybody was over the moon when we signed CMS Hoskins Buckley ect but there is no way on earth these players would be here if we were not now at the amex and playing championship football .
now i for 1 do not want to go to a game at the amex with a half empty stadium because of the ticket prices but imo fans must simply take the changes on the chin as part of the clubs progression , as many many people have stated before the club is not a charity and finally i think the pricing of tickets has to be agreed by both clubs so who knows it maybe in fact sunderland that have requested the price ? .
at the end of the day the only way to know if the club has made a rick is when the attendance is announced but i would think it wont be much under the 1st round attendance v gills if at all .

BIt of a sharp intake of breath from me when I found out my ticket is £28 (plus £14 for the boy). But being as its the same price as a normal ticket for a League game, its fair enough really. I think its just the considerable LEAP in cost from the price of the Gills game that makes it look harsh. But this tie is a different prospect from playing against a bunch of two-bob anonymous 4th division no-marks, so reinstating normal prices is justifiable IMO.
The £2 booking fee is still a bloody cheek though, being as all they're doing is activating our season ticket cards. That IS a bit of a pisstake.

Let's hope you don't draw us away in either cup competition this year - to be fair though seeing your team beat a Premiership side away from home has got to be worth £50

I have had plenty of mates, most of whom support prem sides, asking about ticket availability.... not one has been the least bit suprised at the price and a few have commented "that's not bad". Says it all really.

Is this charge more to do with the cost of the debit / credit card companies will levy on the club for processing the transaction? I guess they have decided to pass it on to the fans.

Hoop = QPR I'd guess
Hmmm, a calm, rational and reasoned response. Doesn't fit in at the moment.
We all need to face facts, big stadiums and quality teams and managers cost money. If you can't afford it, then yes it's sad, but I don't think the club are needlessly ripping you off. You'll just have to miss out. Surely everyoen knows what it's like to miss out on something because you can't afford it?

Lets get this in perspective.
If it was at Withers it would have been full price.

I buy loads of stuff online using my debit card without being charged an additional fee for purchasing something. Why should a soccerball ticket (which isn't even being SENT) be any different ?
