Newcastle Prices

[Wilko]

It's £30 for gods sake, hardly breaks the bank.

Ermm, how do you know if that breaks someone's bank or not?

 

[kingcole]

Guessing the Geordies are taking a 3000 allocation to include half the south, SE corner and the 2 ESL blocks (S1A and S1B) as there is no mention of ESL ofr home fans.

It will be a sell out

 

[leigull]

It does highlight how good value our ST's are compared to match by match buying. So you could look at it that we get an absolute bargain every week in the league, but suffer high cup prices every now and then. Instead of viewing ST match prices as the norm and cup prices as excessively high

 

[grubbyhands]

the club should of reduced the prices for the fa cup tie and not charge full price

"have NOT "of" please.

Correct! 5th January hardly a time for rolling in cash

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

I'm glad I'll be on holiday for this game now...

 

[Dave the OAP]

Twenty eight f***ing quid...I hope they won't charge a booking fee for that.

[Bob!]

£32 + whatever the booking fee is for my seat in the WSU Central is overpriced to me. Rocking on for £70 (+beer & travel) for me and the wife isn't on at this time of year for a 3rd round match, possibly against a second rate Newcastle team, who have their premier status to look after. If that makes me a bad fan then so be it - I'll play golf and get home in time to watch it on the box.

Then wait until they go on general sale, then buy in the NS, SS or WSU wings at £28

 

[southstandandy]

£39 + £2 booking fee - so £41 for my seat. Bad fan as I might be I'll watch it on the box for that price. My concern is that if the club do go up in the next few years and the prices go up 20-30% how many people will be priced out. I'm currently at the limit I can afford so to miss the Newcastle game is a no brainer especially as it's straight after Christmas. I don't think the club have thought this through very well. Only one person I spoke to today in my office of 8 ST holders I know were going to go and pay these prices. I think that says it all.

 

[WhingForPresident]

I thought it was cheaper last January but was proved wrong in a thread yesterday.
It was a sell out when we played Newcastle, and it was on tv, albeit at the later time of 5pm.

It was on ESPN to be fair. Think the attendance will be sub-20k.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Indeed, let's enjoy it while it lasts. Barber will see ST's as money being lost, expect a price hike for 13/14

Of course this does set the standard if and when we ever get to the premiershite

 

[Max Paper]

People have touched on the fact it's just after Christmas which is one thing, what people might be forgetting is a lot of us get paid early in December for Xmas which means January is a LONG month regarding money. If the game is on free to view TV then in all honestly what is the point of spending MORE money when it's not necessary? I follow the Albion home and away but I'm not made of money...

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

The FA Cup is simply not the draw it used to be and £37 for my seat is to much, simply can't afford it so will watch it at home

'Ernest' I thought you told me you were in the family stand! Over 65's are only £25.00 have you been telling me porkies (sausages)?

 

[ESU Seagull]

I may be missing something but why is ESU £5 more expensive than WSU??

 

[Springal]

I may be missing something but why is ESU £5 more expensive than WSU??

ESU is a better view than the WSU so you get to pay a premium.

 

[bennibenj]

Im in, on the auto buy system. In family stand, dont think its that bad tbh - wasnt expecting anything other than a full cost ticket

 

[portslade seagull]

Working so can't make it anyway so will be watching on the box i'm afraid

 

[kevtherev]

So that would cost me £32 + £8 for my girl + £12 petrol + £15 food, drinks etc = £67 for a game, week after Xmas and still three weeks till next payday...ITV and channel four racing straight after for me, I'm afraid with hot coffee and goodies on tap.
