Having just taken 2k or so to Boro (almost as far as you could get) it didn't surprise me that much either.

I was looking forward to Wednesday after the play off atmosphere.....could be costing me out though, especially with those bloody poles in the way.

And we'd have probably take 6k to boro if tickets were available.

Correct - I'm not leaving us out of anything and didn't say that... Although at least we have some at £25 and £28 - I think there's only one category at £32 isn't there?

You can apply that logic to any spend, where will it end?

and some PL clubs are committed to lower prices than £30 too.
The issue with the Prem ticket prices being charged is that the clubs aren't relying on the gate money to offset the expenditure of the club, as millions are distributed to teams just for being in the Prem.
I agree that £30+ is too much in this division, but it's the clubs job to juggle supply/demand with an eye on cash flow.

I'd prefer the 30 C over the 36 A as I'm a breast is best kinda fella ....
Ah, have I misunderstood?
It's not disgraceful at all - the two leagues operate completely different business models.
In the Premier League you're an extra in the cast of one of the biggest TV shows in the world. They could even pay you to come along.
In the Championship we are providing vital financial support to the clubs that play there.

People forget about the travel subsidy, if SW included the return tram fare in their ticket price then that would be more comparable.

IMO charging anything over £20 for a football ticket is pretty disgraceful regardless. Also, prem league tickets have always been more expensive than lower leagues (if you look at it entertainment-wise you're seeing the best players etc) so yes it is disgraceful to be paying more for a second tier game for me. Yes sky etc mean they can now afford to do it, I'm well aware...
I wonder how much use our travel subsidy is for fans travelling from oop North to the Amex. It's not a scientific test, but I just looked at rail travel for Preston fans to both Haywards Heath and Falmer on October 15th. Doesn't seem to be any difference in price.
I wish more people would understand this. Premier League ticket prices are no longer relevant.

Although the cheapest way to travel to away games for us by train is usually to buy separate tickets from Sussex to London and then London to the away town/city. For away fans coming to us you can get an advance single to Haywards Heath from Victoria for £5 so a total of £10 on a Saturday the best price I can see from Victoria to Falmer is a return for £27.

All the time Tony Bloom is paying £1.5M a month for his ticket, our ticket prices will be higher than the Premier League.
