Stupid prices

[stephen lee]

Prices to watch utd v villa are ridiculous. Just been looking at the colour coded map on website and well be lucky to get 25000 im ok myself being s t holder but never thought we would go down the wendy route

 

[stringer]

How many tickets are £40+?

Most expensive ticket is £35 for our top category?

It's hardly Arsenal pricing...

 

[DronnieBlade]

£20 is plenty.

EFL clubs will eventually come unstuck if they don’t observe this very simple model.

Cheaper pricing doesn't appear to be helping Bradford much.

I'd say this disagrees with your 25000 estimate...

Barely any seats next to each other on south.

 

[sufcboy95]

The ticket prices are fine compared to others, and haven’t changed much over the years. The reason the attendances have dropped is that the bandwagon fans have fell off not because of the prices

Are they the ones who shout "gerrit for'ad"?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

How much are Kop walk up prices? £35 is a lot but surely they are the exception and will be snapped up by the used car salesmen around the Lane.

£30 is dirty
£40 is naughty

It’s the way it’s going unfortunately. The main problem is money isn’t distributed fairly throughout the EFL. Fix that and your £20 is plenty may be possible.

 

[Benny and the Blades]

It looks like there are plenty of seats left on the pitch......

Exactly. As the old saying goes 'Profits are sanity. Market share is vanity.' While I think a £33 'walk up' price for games like Villa is ridiculous, we can't compete on wages/transfer fees if we charge ultra-low admission prices.

At least we don't break the rules. When Wednesday are on telly, their perimeter advertising isn't like every other club - commercial organisations. There's are all 'The Wednesday Pale Ale', 'Chansiri', 'Wednesday Membership Prices', 'Chansiri', '150 Years of Sheffield Wednesday', 'Chansiri' etc. etc. So, are Wednesday turning down advertising revenue from the likes of Sky, Ladbrokes, Bet365, Adidas etc. so they can advertise their own propaganda? Or is Chansiri paying with one hand and taking with the other? I think we all know the answer.

It’s the world we live it, name me a form of entertainment that is getting cheaper or that can be described as cheap?

According to the colour code there's plenty of room on the pitch!

 

[DronnieBlade]

Optimum pricing, to create the biggest possible crowds (surely an aspirational target for all EFL clubs), without obviously charging a quid and thus chucking revenue away, will be very close to £20 per adult ticket, with cheaper concessions.

I went to watch Cirque de Soleil on Sunday.......£134 for two people. It might have lasted longer and was impressive but I’d rather have been watching Dem Blades!

According to that there is good availability on the pitch........UTB

 

[YES Blade]

Has anyone noticed there are loads of tickets on the pitch or is it just me?

£50 is shifty, £60 is bloody ridiculous.

 

[Northyorksblade]

Unfortunately not

 

[Fulwood Blade]

so, lets put this into perspective.

lets say we need a centre forward who wants £20K per week - still significantly less than the pigs CF's x 4.

that works out at £500K per year?...........that's a lot?.........well it isn't £500K it's £1 million per year !!!!

It all needs funding - so what does the club do? I keep hearing our fans (including me, you and CW) saying we need quality. Quality is going o cost, which helps to explain why Chansiri wants the S6 lot to chip in. It isn't really an unfair question, even though he's a megalomaniac in other ways.

For sure, football has already gone bonkers - it can't continue - something eventually has to give.

As we try and go forward, a little perspective and patience is needed - just hope we can hang onto CW medium term - better the devil you know Chris, better the devil you know than the club you may end up at.

PS: what the fuck will Bolasie be on at Villa who we'll no doubt see on Saturday, therefore, what does Hogan want?

We shouldn't be comparing with others, we should be setting thr example to others. Slash prices. Fill the lane. It's simple.

Anything over 20 quid for 90 minutes of 'entertainment' is daylight robbery.

I paid 35 quid for 6 bands the other weekend. For 6 hours!

Full day's county cricket this summer £16-£18 at Headingley and Scarborough, I paid £22 for England v Pakistan @ Headingley and £23 for England v India @ Edgbaston. Most Racing tracks still charge less than a tenner to go on the course, grandstand £16-£20.

Do attendances rise dramatically when offers are available?

What I said is optimum.

It’s a different view point.

So not that much cheaper than football really.

The England Cricket were no doubt one of the cheaper tickets. Racing is always good value for tickets because they know you will spend plenty of money when you get in.

Are you talking county championship cricket? For how many they get in for that I’m amazed they charge that much!
