[Football] Most expensive season tickets in Europe

[spence]

£186 saving from Eastbourne. makes a massive difference.

Would like to see that extended to Three Bridges from Haywards Heath.

That's what i pay for West Upper front row. Good value but i can see the prices going up again for next season. The club know 6k are waiting in the wings.

Might be 6k on waiting list but a large proportion of those are members purely for buying tickets and have no intention of buying a STH for various reasons such as location or work. They join waiting list just in case and it comes free with membership.

Ops, hush my mouth That's something else they could charge for, don't tell PB

As an aside I bought a couple of guest tickets for the Arsenal home game on Boxing Day. five rows from the front but in the corner of the North Stand. £45! I was shocked. That is a very expensive ticket for a very average (arguably poor) view.

£156 for 3 ST Guest tickets for the Chelsea game in the SE corner

I’m not sure where they get the figure of £570 being the cheapest ST at Palace, mine was £480.

That, and that Albion season ticket includes around £150 worth of transport (based on living in Worthing - possibly more from other places).

If you happen to live within the travel zone (and at the far end of it in Worthing), take public transport, don't have a discount railcard and don't already have a season ticket. The actual estimated calculation per person, and what the club pays, will I suspect be quite a bit lower. I'm sure I saw the figure on here before, but I can't remember what it was.

Included, rather than free is more accurate.

Fair comment.

 

[Jim in the West]

None of those others include free transport to and from the game, either.

Not many give you a padded seat, either

I'm talking about what it saves me, not what it costs the club. Worthing to Falmer must be £7-8 a go, and I'd otherwise have to be paying that for most home games.

Travel, padded seat, wifi. Yeh, but sorry it's still bloody expensive. If you want a single ticket for a big game, it's completely ridiculous. I agree with all the comments that given the vast amount of TV money dished out, matchday attendance prices could be slashed with minimal impact on income

Of course, but if we are talking about averages to provide a more accurate representation of costs (what you were replying to), then it's not £150.

I found a whole roll of Palace season tickets being given away for free in the mens bogs at the Lord Nelson the other day this cant be right!

Except on Boxing Day! And assuming that Southern staff arent on strike or have scheduled in works on a matchday etc etc

You probably got a discount for never seeing any palace goals and having to watch barn door benteke

£515 is £27 per game

yes but that is the lowest rate for a season ticket mine costs £600 for WSU ...

Me too. In fact, I'd like to see it extended to Cambridge.. Or Bedford - that's one train all the way to Brighton.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I see the West Ham one is the cheapest...does that include the pair of binoculars needed to see the players?

 

[Mayonaise]

Worth every penny!

Which is why. as a match day ticket purchaser I won't do Cat A games

Must admit it is a cracking view, 5 yards from half way line reasonably low ....
