What is a reasonable price to watch the Albion?

[The Large One]

There is plenty of issue and debate as to the fact that many consider it too expensive to watch the Albion.

So what, realistically should the NORMAL ADULT price be to watch the club at Withdean. Granted, people will feel differently depending on how we're playing, but ensuring that you marry up what an individual can afford alongside what the club can afford to operate on commercially, what do you feel is the right price?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Reasonable for 3rd division football in an uncovered stand £12-£15

But if the club say break even is £20 then this is acedemic surely

 

[algie]

£19.Sounds alot better then £20.

Most of clubs in this league are charging away fans between £15-20 and some of those are open stands.

So around the £20 mark seems about right.

Maybe the club need to look more at banding the games?

Can you tell me which clubs in our division that charges those sorts of prices?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I agree, however i think pricing at most games are rediculous.

BTW Did you know there are 4 price bands at West ham for the cup game.

With the present attendance levels, if we are not promoted, I can see quite a few STH not renewing at the present price levels.

The discount is quite small, tickets are easily available for all home games and any spare tickets are hard to get rid of.

none of them...that is just what I think the product is worth. we are all ripped off at the moment

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I voted £17-£20.99.

How much of the ticket is the travel cost? Does anyone know

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

£15 seems about right to me. I bought a ticket for £24 for Swansea and felt over-charged (although I know all the reasons etc).

 

[bristolseagull]

we do get free travel though, that saves me a dicky diver every game.

I honestly believe that if the club put a roof over southstand and just drop the prices to £21 the fans will be back along with the atmosphere.What about if we fans pay for the roof?It would make going to Withdean so much enjoyable.Even if you dropped the prices to £15 and it's pissing down,people will not go

 

[Rookie]

about £20 would be nice, think you would get more people in as well so cost effective in the long run

 

[Lammy]

For 90mins of entertainment * anything over £20 is ridiculous! Especially given the facilities.

How can £20 be the break even figure? Surely a full stadium at £15 a head is better than a half full stadium at £23?



*not guarenteed.

Sadly, it's just not going to happen.

If only people who ring in would realise that, it would cause harty and I less grief

 

[dwayne]

£1000

Not even if the fans paid for the temporary roof?

We would not get planning permission for a roof. It would be classed as a different structure.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

there are planning implications, foundations, trees, nature reserve...i would go on, but I wont for fear of being told I dont know what i am talking about again.
