ticket prices

[bees78039991]

whats the most expensive and cheapest ticket prices you seen/payed to watch a match?

sheffield wed are offering £5 adult tickets for the jpt!

 

[stoney04]

nothing springs to mind but liverpool only charged £10 for euro game last week!

 

[Fat Bee Slim]

West Ham are charging their lowest prices in 15 years for the Carling Cup game with Oxford - £5 kids and £10 adults. Fair play to them.

 

[Newbee]

Arsenal charged £10 for their early rounds of League cup matches.

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Gillingham springs to mind!!!!

 

[Brain-dead Bee]

It was no more than two and six when I first went to GP (1964). Can't remember if that was the kids' price or if that was the adult price and I was paying one and threepence.

Most was probably our play-off vs Stoke but can't remember what I paid

 

[hatfieldbee]

League - historically Swindon most expensive.
Cup - any Premier****e club we've played.
Non Bees - St Albans City (for me).
However I now pay Senior's admission at most away games I go to, apart from those tight fisted clubs who use age 65 as their criteria.

A certain tightwad from Letchworth got in as an OAP at Macclesfield 2 seasons ago at the ripe old age of 44

I'm off to Aston Villa v Rapid Vienna on Thursday night as first part of Stag Weekend. £5 a ticket in the Holte End Upper, which is surprisingly cheap.

 

[Paul O'Brien]

Cheapest: 6d Celtic Reserves v Raith Rovers Reserves.1962

Or £0 v Peterborough at home under RN. Arguably also possibly the most expensive ever as it neartly cost us the club.

There northern the dole only goes so far

 

[Nada Bee]

Cheapest £2 when i was a nipper

Think i paid £47 to watch West Ham v Spurs a couple of years ago in the crappest seats too.

 

[hobbsy]

There was a big debate about it on Radio Five today. Apparently the new TV deal from next year will mean they can knock ticket prices down to £25. Bad news for the Football League.

[Womble Bee]

Heard him say that and wondered why. Shocking cost to watch football but then £25 to sit in the away end on antiquated wooden seats at Orient was too

Don't be daft, they'll just spend the money on inflating players wages, that's all they ever do...

 

[Nada Bee]

The quicker there's a wage cap the better.

20k a week tops.

Free Market good luck with that although to greedy for success so all will ruin one another in the end... Long live the lower leagues

In the Bundesliga, you can get in to games for as little as 12euros, or about ten quid. May have gone up a little bit since I last was in Germany, but still vastly cheaper than here.

 

[Boscombe Bee]

When I was at school I would get in for nothing at night games at Bournemouth in the mid-80s when they were in the second tier. But I did have to stand outside for the proceeding hour with a bucket for that night's charity!

They were talking about this on the radio the other day, games are 12-15euros also your match ticket allows you FREE public transport, no wonder the Bundesliga gets 30% more supporters than the Pr£mship through the gate.

I got my mate a junior ticket at Macceslfield claiming he was my son. He's 4 years younger then me!

If that was the one which ended 1-0 with Piquonne scoring, I went to that game and got in for free!!

Used to pay £3 to get in at Griffin Park, those were the days. Now maybe paying 10x IF we get past Southend.

[Downbeat Bee]

Think Brentford cost about £2.60 first time I went there. I was gutted when New Road went up under Webb - was it to £6.50?

So programme inflation has steadied whilst ticket inflation has rocketed over the years

Good for him for saying it, I say. Obviously an official who understands real football supporters

 

[nocoat]

WTF has he been dropped for! Political correctness gone mad.

 

[Beat Poet]

A Championship footballer gave a fan two tickets for his team's game on Saturday after the man commented he was "skint" on Twitter. Ipswich Town defender Tyrone Mings left tickets at the gate at Portman Road for Tris Monk, adding he "shouldn't miss a game cos u can't afford it".

[Nada Bee]

He managed to afford the 30 odd quid in petrol though!

Quality to the player to do this. Football has been too expensive for too long. Wage caps are needed.

Good article about ticket prices in the Bundesliga compared to the PL http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/aug/13/bundesliga-premier-league-germany-ticket-prices

 

[kojebee]

Football has been much cheaper in the eight other countries I've seen top tier football, Europe and Asia. Currently, I pay about six quid for a ticket to see Busan I'Park in the K-League in korea. It makes it affordable to take the whole family, and get some food and drink too. Relative to average wages in both England and Korea, football is still much cheaper than England.

Bundesliga ticket prices are cheaper than the Premier League?!! Can't believe no journalist has bought this to our attention before now
