[Football] The BBC Price of Football Survey 2015

[Bozza]

We're just about at the time of year when we learn that...

- We have the most expensive pies in the League (get ready with your "Better than Pukka", "They used to be better", "I don't understand how people can't go two hours without eating" comments)

- Our prices look quite high, but, BUT, BUT they don't include our travel subsidy, the rascals.

- Sheffield Wednesday really do have a £50+ ticket for second division football

- Arsenal's cheapest season ticket is HOW MUCH?!?

- They didn't mention our direct debit scheme.

In fact, we could just recycle last year's thread, but that wouldn't be fun, would it?!?

Er, or In!, depending on whether we are winning or not

We will pine for these prices if we're ever promoted, the raping and pillaging would start properly then. There is only so much you can take the P when the stands are 20% empty most games. Turn that into capacities and ST waiting lists and watch the ticket prices rocket or travel subsidy disappear.

Barber said, "Matchdays at the Amex provide an unrivalled experience for both home and away fans, and the fact we have had one of the the highest average crowds in the Championship since we moved to the stadium, suggests our ticket pricing is affordable and good value for money."

I wonder what they put in the tea at Birmingham to make it worth so much.

Icing sugar I guess, or looks similar.

 

[patchamalbion]

looking at that our tickets don't seem quite as bad. Surprised by Hull and M'Boro prices.

on the whole it's all too expensive thought, I'm a believer that you shouldn't be paying more than £25 for 2nd division football.

 

[RM-Taylor]

that table has MK Dons cheapest away ticket at £25, they're charging Hull £12. If they only charge us £12 then we'll take over 5000

Not just the most expensive in the championship, but across all four leagues.

Went to Birmingham last season. Was watered down basic tea. I expected unicorn blood for that price.

 

[Notters]

Actually this are article DOES mention our travel subsidy but not Birmingham's tea.

I travel from Haywards Heath which would cost £6.30. When that is taken off my season ticket I am paying £320.10. Less than Rotherham and Burnley!

I did the interactive price of football link and came out at £896 per year on football (doesn't take into account travel). What surprised me was that it stated I could get 26 tickets to see bands like U2 or Take That! Where can you buy tickets to see those bands for only £34 each?

Exactly - it's about £7 from Worthing so multiply that by 23 and anyone coming from my neck of the woods is saving £160+, so a North Stand season ticket for around £300

This thread is a bit depressing. Watching football is certainly a wealthy person's pastime these days.

 

[Randsta]

You forgot to mention how cheap the season tickets in the bundesliga are ...£100 now that is great value!!! now if we had lost the war this is one benefit I'd have enjoyed that and being able to drink in my seat too.

£10 a week. Hardly expensive.
