First bits of 2017/18 match day ticket pricing announced

[Goldstone1976]

Cheapest tickets for adults (North, SWC, extreme ends of WSU): Cat C: £30, Cat B: £35, Cat A: £45.

That's all so far.

Any ideas on teams/matches that fill those Categories?
I'm thinking
A - Arsenal, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Tottenham?
B - Everton, Leicester, Newcastle, Southampton, West Ham?
C - Bournemouth, Burnley, Huddersfield, Stoke, Swansea, Watford, West Brom?

 

[Petee]

£45 for the CHEAPEST seats for Cat A seems ridiculous! Especially when the away fans will only have to pay £30!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Shows that the world is a funny place, and context is all. Palace in a 'Cat A' for anything.

Cat Z for most things, but definitely A for possible

That's a good call, imo...

...even though at pretty much every ground we visit next season, we'll be paying less than most of the home fans around us?

 

[Ernest]

First home match will be Cat A whether it is Burnley or Man U

Bournemoth = local derby - not Cat C
Watford = London club - full allocation not Cat C

This is what I do not understand. We will be charging more for our home fans who could be potentially sat right next to an away supporter who has only paid 30 sheets.

45 quid behind the goal is a ****ing disgrace, category A or not. **** off Barber

It's Premier League rules. It is felt that away fans, and the atmosphere that they help to create, is a key part of the Premier League product sold for gazillions around the world.

The pricing is designed to encourage away supporters to travel in number and fill away allocations.

Well makes my season Ticket look good value again!

 

[hart's shirt]

Arsenal, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Tottenham

The thinking behind it is to help away fans who are paying travelling expenses on top of match tickets
So we benefit when we travel away

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Someone has to stump up to pay the players' wages and keep the Porsche dealers in business. I guess I just have to be grateful that I've had a season ticket to renew.

Bournemouth Local? to where?

The U.K.

Confused. Are we talking about £45 for Cat A or Cat C?

£45 for Cat A is £5 too much, £45 for Cat C will see a half empty stadium.

No need to be confused...read the OP.

Oh - and with 23k STH, the stadium is unlikely to be half full, whatever the match day ticket prices.
