Match day ticket prices.

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

Of course we know , you are making us sound like the pigs ! No way on earth we would fill a 60,000 regularly , not ever !
As ever UTB !

You then need to look at ST prices. Which are guaranteed income for home league games. It’s not that straightforward.

40/50 years ago gate receipts were everything to keep clubs going but not nowadays especially in the premier league i just think united could just be a bit more considerate pricing wise for match days for big families who cant afford to buy season tickets and have low to moderate incomes

None of that changes my point though.

 

[Tickhill Blade]

I see our match day prices are out. Other than a couple of cat B games it's £40+ for every game if you want to go in the family stand, £60+ if you want to take a kid with you

£41 to sit on the Kop, with your knees crushed, a big post in your way and the prospect of having to wade through half a foot of piss in the toilets, is not overly attractive.

Don't forget the booking fee on top

 

[Berkshire Blade]

'Pay on the gate' tickets have risen all lot in recent years. Granted we spent 6 years in league one which suppressed them so we had some catching up to do. I think we had some of the lowest in the championship when we went up in 2019 I doubt that's the case now!

 

[Loco Blade]

Said it before. My ST is just over £300 on SS . Was last year in Prem . Wife’s at Citeh £850 . I’m 62 our seniors kicks in at 60 Citeh 65 ! Tottenham scrapping concessions altogether. Think it should be appreciated tbf

Agree mate tottenham like rest of the prem are a bunch of greedy bastards, and don't give a fuck about there fans!

 

[Tarqs]

None of the big clubs give a fuck about fans, they contribute very little in the grand scheme of things.

The big draw coming up, is overseas fans once clubs buy their own rights to stream matches in the Premier League.

 

[Shadota]

I cannot justify going to games anymore. I haven't had a season ticket in a very long time, because work would always get in the way. So I've just bought individual tickets when I've been able to go. But ticket prices pushing past 40 quid (depending on the game/which stand you go in), plus the rising costs of everything else as well, means it simply is not viable any more. I'll have to settle for watching streams of everything instead, which saddens me greatly.

 

[ColinHill]

I think those prices are really poor personally. Im fortunate enough to be able to afford a season ticket, so count myself lucky. But those that cant i think will be put off by this. £41 to sit on the Kop to watch Pigs, Leeds, Boxing Day game etc is far too expensive in my opinion. Christ SS is 50p per minute to watch a match, that's high. I understand that selling at 41 instead of £30 in theory makes an extra £50k+ per game but it doesnt feel right to me. Especially when everything else is costing a fortune in life. Season tickets are good value but match by match isnt. Hope we are only charging away fans £30.

Not looked but i hope we've released details of what games fit into what categories, so people can in theory plan accordingly

 

[The Fox]

Agree with ColinHill , I have a ST but those day prices are just wrong , I don't think it's debatable even . I'm not sure this has been thought through when each championship team is guaranteed at least 24 games on TV . If we're hopefully challenging could be 30 or so or 2/3rds of games.
We definitely need to be more creative in ticket pricing , discounting bundles or any adult + child discounts etc .
I'm generally support the club and its actions but think they've got this wrong. Hopefully they revisit this when if / when the ownership changes.

Lloyd Cole playing at the City Hall, no support, one man show.

Tickets £45 and £58.

Ryan Adams, one man show same venue.

£ 53 and £ 69.

Taylor Swift, hundreds.

Gig tickets are so expensive as music doesn't make any money in physical sales anymore. Football has billions via TV deals. I don't think it's right to compare the two directly.

I think if Lloyd Cole played at the City Hall every other week with more the half of the shows live on tv he might struggle to sell at those prices .

Indeed. And yet people will use the general public not taking up this incredibly generous offer from the club as evidence that we don't need to redevelop/expand the stadium

 

[sufc323]

It's shit how we don't have an under 11 category like we used to and a lot of clubs have. If you had 2 young kids it'd cost nearly £50 to take them to a game on Boxing Day, and is the age where kids start getting the bug for football but we're pricing a lot of families out of that

 

[Derek1889]

It's not as expensive as alot of clubs round here. Agree can be steep if your taking the family but then we're not paying prices of local team either. Just be easier getting a season ticket then even if you couldn't make some probably still works out cheaper that way then paying on gate. I don't normally see costs of that way as we've have season tickets for a while now.

 

[FriethBlade]

Especially when he sacks it off every other cincert , his guitar is out of tune the other half and he only plays his harmonica when he feels like itl

 

[prescotblade]

Personally will pick games to go as set a budget it’s been said on numerous occasions, the game is moving into a different market when it comes to its customers.
Would like to think will get good value watching the blades, but not to sure

 

[Proper Blade]

Assume that only Pigs and Leeds will be Cat A*, but it's still wildly expensive.

We barely sold any on-the-day tickets last year when we were doing shit - and that's when we had the big boys in town. I just can't see many people stumping up £36 to watch us play on a Tuesday night against Stoke or Preston, and I can't see the club's logic for keeping the prices so high. All it will do is put more and more people off. There is basically zero incentive to attend if you don't have a season ticket.

I think it's time to put to bed the myth that we offer reasonably priced tickets. We rip the fans off just as much as every other club.

have to agree were getting mightily close to chansiri type pricing fantastic pricing policy for season tickets thats never been an issue but for fans who either cant get every game through work or family ties or simply just cannot afford a season ticket its very poor pricing its as though the club only values season ticket holders

Silly pricing which seems to be sending the message we do not want match day fans.
There's a lot more games on sky this season and ways to watch every game at home- legal and illegal.
I'm really struggling to get my head round the logic in this pricing. Cheaper prices mean bigger gates and opportunities to sell food, drink, merchandise and programmes.

 

[s4-blade]

If you’ve not got a season ticket then you’re not a big enough blade to have a worthy opinion.

When you only have a handful of match day tickets to sell because the vast majority of the ground is sold out with season tickets then the prices will make next to no difference to attendances/income

I'm lucky enough to be able to afford a ST, but I would struggle with those walk up prices, especially when I can get a year's Firestick for the price of one match

Jeez, are you 17 years old with no other life except the Blades? Other people have homes and families and responsibilities that get in the way of match days.

[Aml-blade]

Didn't buy a season ticket this year with work meaning I can only attend half the games, give or take, and Sky meaning I can't plan the games I can make in advance. Planned to buy a ticket for every game I'm able to make but the idea of paying £36(+fees) to watch Plymouth on a cold December afternoon, from behind a pillar, with some blokes armpit in my face, doesn't really appeal.
