I always wonder why prices in this country are not lower they are. Doesn't most revenue come from TV, advertising, sponsers etc..? Why don't we take the German approach and lower prices ?

[Bungle]

Simple answer to that is this is rip-off Britain, where things are priced to the max.

Unfortunately the wages paid are poor as well which doesn't really help.

football will get a bite on the bum, tickets are too expensive. This recession hasnt hit hard yet as a lot of folk subsidised lack of income over the last 2 years with savings ready for the kick start again, we aint seen the last of it yet!
last nights attendance at massively reduced prices shows what the football fan thinks of the game at the moment!
I think Randy has seen it coming and that is why clubs need to sort wage structures and transfer fees out big time! We cannot compete with man city and their blase spending policy so sort the books out, it may be our redemption in the end!

I agree rutski.

Ellis said much the same and he was continually castigated for it .......what makes Randy so different ?

I'd love to find the quote but it was something along the lines of when the bubble bust we will come out the other side in a position to capitalise.

Can someone work out how much it's costs to just buy a ticket every home game.

Because with all these cheap offers is it actually cheaper buying a season ticket?

Simply supply and demand.

SHA can charge us close to 50 quid as they know they'll be 3k Villa fans out there who will pay it.

But equally we're finding out there isn't the demand to pay 45 quid to sit in the Trinity or Witton upper.

We must have about ten category AA or A games this season that are priced at eiher 30 or 29 quid in the North stand upper where I usually sit so that's 300 quid straight away so season ticket is still significantly cheaper.

They are doing a deal for 100 quid on the OS for the games against sha, Chelsea, Blackpool, Manure and arsenal which saves your 43 quid which I'd advise anyone who dosen't have a season ticket to get on to!

For where my Season Ticket is a ticket v Blues is £37. Expensive.

[SoccerHQ]

Top price tickets will be 45 quid in the Witton upper, I imagine that's what we'll be chargin them aswelll.

I can see it not selling out.

I was so close not getting a ST this year due to cost, but did in the end only afer taking a cheaper seat.

Thye offers don't happen as much as you'd think im afraid, I had a season ticket for donkeys and there always seemed to be offer's and since I packed it in 2 years ago there has hardly been any at all. If you want to make savings a season ticket is the only way to go

Germany has higher attendances than England though.

...and demand is dropping. Football is a luxury some people can no longer afford.

Could that be because they charge lower ticket prices? I'm not being a smart arse, I have no idea how much an average ticket to a Bundesliga game is, which may be a factor in attendances there.
