Remember when clubs said they missed the fans and the game is nothing without us? Yet since we’ve come back, the prices have gone through the roof. Absolute disgrace.

angieram Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Not going. £71 for the two of us is beyond our means. It's a crap ground for away fans anyway. Jram and SunnyRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyRam Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The thing is some fans will still pay this ridiculous price, meaning nothing will ever be done about it. Angry Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 How can they say they’ve missed fans then charge that? How in the premier league is there a price cap but not yet in the championship CBRammette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the premier league is there a price cap but not yet in the championship I think because ticket income is still so important to Championship clubs. Having said that, Sheffield United are richer than most already, having just spent a couple of seasons in the Prem and now getting huge parachute payments, so it's inexcusable for them to charge so much.

G STAR RAM Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 After last night was looking forward to another away day but not sure I will be going at that price. If relegated teams are still getting a slice of the Premier League pie then maybe they should also abide by the price cap for away tickets, just a thought. 1967Ram, Philmycock and cstand 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I think I'll likely get a ticket. My teaching time has gone up this semester so I've got a lot more money to play with. Plus sheffield is never far on the train and a mate is a fan so might as well give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not true that they have any cash, they have taken out a loan against future parachute payments from the worst of the worst the infamous kangaroo vampire bank Macquarie, so I guess things are not so good for them, my feelings are they are going o bet the farm on going straight back up again, hence the loan, from the equivalent of Wonga.

Tyler Durden Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Does someone at football clubs actually employ some kind of analyst to research what the sweet spot is for ticket pricing so they don't lose potential revenue by over pricing against not charging enough to cover overheads? Or do they just work on the this is what we need to break even therefore this is the price backwards calculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
