[Albion] Ticket upgrade price

[fire&skill]

I've just upgraded an u18 ticket to an adult for tomorrow’s game and had to pay £38. When doing the same for a team lower down the league (eg Cardiff) the cost was in the low £20s. Does anybody know if there is an algorithm, or document, that dictates the massive price shift please? Of course, I understand that Manchester City is a bigger pull than Cardiff, but the price for the upgrade for these games seems (to me at least) to be particularly opportunistic and arbitrary. It would be interesting, as a supporter, to see the mathematics and marketing that allows the club to charge so much for what is now a meaningless game (for BHAFC at least).

I have contacted the club also. Pending their reply, I just wanted to know if anybody on here has any inside knowledge about it.

£38 extra or including the original U18 price?

Extra - I pay monthly direct debit - about a tenner a month

They changed they way they do it a couple of years ago.

The cost to upgrade is now simply the full match day ticket price minus the pro-rata of the ST.

Thanks for that - I guess I'm raging against a system that allows a company (such as airlines/hotels in holiday times) to charge apparently what they like - market forces etc

Thanks for letting me know - didn't realise they'd changed things

Just shows what a bargain your U18 ticket is @ under £7 per match

Matches are graded A-C depending on various factors. The match day prices reflect the grading.

Same with my lad. I’ve stopped his season ticket now though and he will go for the first time in
a season and a half tomorrow as it’s the last game he can attend.
