Two tickets for the Leeds game £84.00 !!

[golddene]

What don't you understand, the price will stop people going?

Get yourself a season ticket it only costs me £28.50 to watch the game from my comfy seat near the halfway line of west stand lower,bargain if you ask me.SEAGULLS.

How can anyone argue that that amount isn't an awful lot for football at this level?

It is. However the tickets available on general sale for the ESU sell out for nearly every game. I people are prepared to pay that then the price isn't going to be reduced.

Do you think £42 is cheap then? Or is this a joke/trick question?
£42 is far too expensive for this league and for an evening match.

It is far far too expensive.

Apologies if he previous post was worded wrongly.

I was making the point I don't understand how any fan could argue that that amount was reasonable.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Need clarification. Is the op saying he had a season ticket just in 1997?

Why is that particularly relevant ? £42 is far far too much for a game of football at this level ( possibly any level ). That's nearly our food budget for a week for a family of five !

No problem, I did read your post 4 times and I did think you had made a mistake.

I think most would agree its pricy. But there were significantly CHEAPER tickets available. Why buy the more expensive ones, then complain?

I agree that £42 for any championship game is a ridiculous price.

Two separate issues I think. I'm commenting purely on the price, rather than the legitimacy or otherwise of fans complaining when there are cheaper areas available.

£42 for a home game, jeez that is seriously expensive even if you get a padded seat.

This is my view. If I want to go on holiday, I am happy to pay the £600 economy fare. I don't refuse to travel because there are more expensive seats for £2,000 in Club class. It's all about choices.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

My original post is clear enough, I am agreeing I was stupid, but £42 is too expensive for a second division game, in my opinion, you obviously can see the value that I cannot.

At that price you should be able to take the seat home with you.

I was stupid, I was so excited to get tickets I just booked without looking at the price which for WSU is normally below £30 fair enough. I then realised, later, how much I had committed to. It just seems a lot is ESU that much different from WSU

Yes. In fact it's the complete opposite!

You what, like people did at CPFC a few years back

I said seats, not crappy old two bob benches.

Thanks for that but a good fan has just offered me his seats which I have kindly accepted. I know it seems moany but if promotion means I cannot afford to watch, I will be mentally screwed hoping we don't win!!

Have you actually paid the club £84 for 2 tickets or accepted tickets from the 'good fan' mentioned in the above post and paid him £84 ?
Sorry I'm a bit confused now.

 

[Working class pride]

If they can shift them at that price then fair enough. I wouldnt pay it myself.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Well excuse me but isn't this is just a bit rude. I normally book WSU and don't give the price a thought, £20-£30 is ok but having booked I thought What! How much? Is ESU that good?
How am I so mistaken, tell me why this is a good deal.
This is around the price I would expect to be paying if we were playing Man U in the Premiership. Not a second division game of has beens vs never beens.

I feel like I'm being ripped off, so unless it's a surprisingly fantastic experience I will now mainly go to away games. There is no seat in the Amex that's worth £42.00 in the second division.

Community Stadium? It's a richer community than I thought……………

seems steep..i am ESU..but st holder...i just wondered why u paid if u felt it was steep...or was it only after that u felt you had been mugged

As much as this does seem a lot, the club does try and make football affordable. The season ticket direct debit scheme is brilliant. The club don't get enough credit for that.

Also the cup game was superbly priced and kids ticket pricing is very good value.

There are also areas of the ground which are cheaper.

I dare say it could be by charging top dollar in some areas the club is able to keep prices for youngsters etc down.

It is a balancing act which the club seems to do quite well.

Is football too expensive these days? Of course it is. But that isn't the Albion's fault.
