Price of Football 2014: Why fans flock to Borussia Dortmund

[Ads]

The cost of tickets for three out of our next three games have cost me around £125.00. I am unsure as to what the inflationary costs are, but the seat I will have at Goodison, Loftus Road or the Boleyn won't have changed in standard over the past twenty years. I would hasten that the quality of football remains the same too.

I cannot think of too many industries where there has been such a disproportionate increase in cost weighed up against the improvement in the experience.

I've not had chance to study the report in detail and have just looking at the Villa followed by a quick glance at the figures for SHA.

I'm amazed that the most expensive season ticket at the Sty is higher than the most expensive at Villa Park. Do you get to pick the team and sit in the dugout with that ticket?

My gob is well and truly smacked.

Am I right in thinking burnley away is going to be £42 each ?

Price of Football is only going to go up, no desire for change from clubs, and no action from supporters

The cheapest ST at Crawley, Chesterfield, Southend is more expensive than the Villa's cheapest. Want to follow Halifax in the Conference? £16 less than Villa.

You get your pick of about 15,000 seats.

Good point Ads.

I can't remember the exact multiples, but going to watch the Villa in the 70s & 80s was maybe the equivalent of 4-5 pints. Now it is probably nearer 10-12 pints (not too sure on beer prices in Brum anymore).

These days you need those extra pints to watch us.

Anecdotally, I, my two brothers and the old boy all used to be regulars at Villa Park. Obviously I don't go very often anymore, but the other three are all far more likely to go and watch Worcester City now. The price of tickets being as much of a reason as anything.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm skint at present so don't have a ST. As it stand by the Sunderland game i'll have done 4 homes (Newcastle, Citeh, Leicester, Sunderland), tickets prices in total £55. I bet that isn't much different to what they pay at Worcester. 

[fbriai]

I reckon you might well have paid less, PWS.

I'll ask them how much they pay normally.
