You'd be charging different prices for every game then, and presumably charging home fans more/less than away fans to watch the same game. That makes even less sense than the current system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Should be capped, same price at everygame in league, Premier League prices for a championship game is a shambles,I agree that football is too expensive but a blanket cover charge across each league just wouldn’t work due to each club having individual revenue streams and different budgets. Clubs charge what they think could maximise their profits. We are charging £22/£24 most games which isn’t ideal but looking across the division most clubs are in the £20-£24 bracket with four teams charging roughly £18.Premiership prices are much higher on average, £22-£35 (and Rangers had a £52 ticket listed on that BBC Cost of the Game thing that I am looking through).Our new system of buying early and saving a couple of pound is a good idea IMO, but I have seen one or two question it given you end up paying more for the same seat on the day of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 £55 for me to take my wife and daughter on Saturday is no fun at all. Add to that the travel price and food + drink makes it an expensive Saturday. All that won’t matter tho if we get a result of course 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 £24 is a lot of money to get into a championship game but i think that across the board.Would like to see caps brought in for each league ie £25 for prem, £20 for championship, £16 L1 and £14 for L2.At least united recognise the insignificance of the biscuit cup and charged a tenner. IIRC alloa charged £18 last season? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdyteejay Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I hope that Neilson has the team playing for 90 minutes and not 45 that was the norm for many games last season. On many an occasion we did the square root of eff all for the first 45 and would only up the tempo in the second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Arbroath supporters should be happy to pay £24 to watch a team of Dundee United’s calibre on their home soil. Bring your kids along and let them marvel at the footballing magic that is only a short drive away. I would be grateful if no one quotes this post so I can erase it if it goes tits up for us on Saturday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if every team charges different prices then you will be charging different prices for every home game. Also, why should away fans be "punished" or "rewarded" just because of the prices their club charges? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It's only 4 quid extra per adult and a quid extra for a concession in comparison to what away fans will pay at Gayfield this season 4 quid is a pint A pound is half a pie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
