Well, the season ticket price increases caused a bit of a stir on here - I dread to think what would have happened if they resembled QPRs. They've bumped their prices right up - season tickets are £549 for the cheapest up to £999, matchday tickets £47 - £72. That really is taking the mickey.

Mad when you compare them to Fulham, which is ten minutes down the road. I know where I'd rather watch my football.

Absolutely pathetic
I dread to think of the away ticket prices this season. My mate who's a Coventry fan said it was 32 quid last year and that was expensive for the league. Lets hope they decide to keep it at 32 for this season...
-
Absolute shocking! London club = London Prices! Fulham being the acception ;)
-
How much is that up from last season?
Everytime I see something like this is reminds me that we're lucky to be amongst the cheaper sides to watch in the PL.
-
Welcome to the Premier League, QPR fans..
-
alexpayne - £32, no chance, not when the cheapest ticket for home fans is £47.
John M, the reports in the papers (Telegraph, Guardian) vary, increases of 40% and 68% are quoted. Probably one of those figures relates to season tickets and the other to matchday, but I can't make out which is which. Whatever, their fans are getting absolutely fleeced. Compare to Burnley, anyone who was a season ticket holder in their promotion season got their Premiership season ticket free.
-
That's 'That London' for you - throw in a programme, a drink and a burger (or is it a slice of pizza at QPR nowadays) and that'll be a raand hundred quid to you guvnor.
-
Surely the loyal fans who got them up will refuse to pay these rediculous prices ??
-
Get them from a mush in Shepherd's Bush - no VAT.
-
Football prices are getting out of hand it wont be long before we are all priced out of going to any matches.
-
Welcome to the Premier League.
The sad thing is I bet they'll still sell out every game, especially as the capacity is only 18,000.

And that unfortunately is it. Supply and Demand...

Yeah. I want to go to Loftus Rd as well this season. For around £50 a ticket though I'll only go the once. My ticket for Arsenal was 'only' £34.
-
£47 cheapest ticket,that is a bloody joke!
-
Robbing bastards
-
It's a bit of a kick in the teeth to the fans that have followed them whilst they've floundered in the Championship since god knows when and bearing in mind they've got wealthy owners, it's just plain greed and modern football at it's worst. They're already on my wishlist to go down.
-
Open wallet surgery, ouch!
-
In an ideal world they would offer special prices to those that had a ST during the years they spent bouncing around Div 2 and 3. And charge whatever they want to the "glory" hunters who only want to know now they are a top flight side.
But like most clubs these days, they just skank everyone for every penny they can get.

in 1991 it was 6 quid to stand in the holte end,does anyone know how that compares to today regarding average wage etc?

I remember thinking that six quid was expensive. When I started going in 1976 it was a pound for my dad and 50p for me.

50P? 10 shillings or half a quid. A ten bob note. Extortion.
When I started going in the 60's, the admission price into the Holte for a junior was the princely sum of 1/6 (7.5P). 5 bob covered entrance, travel from the other side of the city, a program and 10 Park Drive Tipped.

It's about £10 in todays money
£1 in 1976 would be £5 ish now
-
Best £4.50 I ever spent was my ticket for the Tranmere game. That was back in the days when the internet was still in black-and-white.

Vecchio rudere di brigata!

Looks as though not all the QPR board were in favour of the ticket price hike:

-
With this and Colin Wanker still at the helm we have a replacement for Small Heath when wishing relegation on a club.
-
Clearly away to QPR is a trip I won't be making next season. Another bunch of toss pot owners making poor fans pay through the nose.
-
With 15,000 available seats they can charge what they like and still sell out.
-
Nothing will ever improve until people start staying away from the games in large numbers. QPR know that they can fill the seats, so they will please themselves.
-
And while we're full of outrage, what did we charge away fans this season?
-
£43 accross the board i think it was
I was hoping to go to loftus road next season, if its going to be these prices theres absolutely no chance
-

They had a discussion on Talksport last night and there will only be around 9,000 season tickets, the remaining 6k will be available to fans who want to pay as you go
-
I would feel some sympathy for my brother who has followed them through thin and thinner if it wasn't for the fact he's currently being treated like a VIP in Monte Carlo.
-
I wonder what the dogshitters will be charging for the fizzy pop league ;D
I bet their "support" will take a huge drop next year - everyone i know is saying they will not go again
Apart from one nose that i know who only ever goes when they are not in the prem - he had a ST in the first year of being in the prem and swore he would never do it again as it is a jumped up load of toss and as them and most of the other teams cant win anything what was the point - he wanted to see fair competition so i have to admire his principles
or maybe he is just mental
-
I read somewhere the other day that it was short sighted of QPR's chairmen to charge so much for tickets with Chelsea and Fulham just up the road. Like that's how football fans chose which club to go and watch.
I'm sure many of you have considered going to watch Birmingham before now because the tickets were going cheap? Right?
-
I wouldn't watch those fuckers for free.
