[Thunder Bolt]

If he is trolling why respond ? I ignore the shit he writes on here

Most of the time I do, but it doesn't hurt to post the truth sometimes, to expose his nonsense.

Just as well you don't live in Grimsby. You'd be amazed at what the women are prepared to do there for a bag of chips, throw in a pastie and it's a Triple A pass.

I know you're trolling, but why do you choose to quote the highest ticket price every single time?

You've just answered your own question.

Correctly.

£9 for pics at the komedia on the sofas and no transport issues

Sounds good. It's not necessarily one or t'other though is it. Can do all of it. BHA costs me about £25 a game, excellent value.

I'd expect a 10% increase.

Its already 20-21% per game, with the 3% ish increase from the club and the pro rata reduction of games in the PL.

Happy with a moderate ST increase, just so long as the wise-guys who hedged their bets and finally bought a half-season ticket a month ago get royally SHAFTED

There is always a tweaking of prices every season, under the guise of ' a couple of pounds per month ' Until very recently, inflation was almost non-existent particularly in the food sector but the cost of food and drink rises every season at the Amex.
The couple of pounds per month, plus the reduction in games in the PL, plus the inevitable programme and food and drink price rises will push individual match day costs well past a moderate increase.

I've seen it said that the rewards for the Prem are so great that the clubs could actually reduce the price of a match ticket and not even notice the difference (I'm sure [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION] will correct me if I'm wrong), but a minor Albion tweak upwards is to expected shirley, in the event of the P word, when every single utility bill, transport provider, supermarket does likewise shirley? For me the club have always been the good guys in that respect and IMHO have done their level best to keep any increases on the GENTLE side. Happy with that. Club's not a charity after all, and IMHO they're way more in tune with the fans than most clubs are.

Under the terms of the 2016/19 new domestic TV deal for the Premier League, every club could give each player an £11,000 a week pay rise AND reduce the price of every ticket sold by £25, and be no worse financially than before.

Conversely TV audiences are now declining for live football, so future deals will also likely decline in value. With that in mind, every club needs to have a balanced and varied set of revenue streams. Season & matchday tickets + other matchday revenues will remain a big part of the business model. That's a long winded way of saying that a reduction in ticket cost is highly unlikely despite the huge TV revenues the clubs will get in the next few seasons.

simple opportunity cost - you choose how to spend your cash. St as been fantastic value the last couple of seasons and wouldn't have missed it for the world. The very occasional game i haven't been able to get to where i've seen it on tv instead has been horrible, spent the whole time wishing i was there.

£13 each to sit in a cinema, with the film constantly interrupted by others talking and eating, to fund the lifestyles of few overpaid actors and their agents when i can usually download the film for free and watch it from the comfort of my sofa isn't good value to me.

yeah, no one talks or eats at the Amex, # crash test dummies
