Must admit I was thinking of going but when I saw the price they are having a laugh!  Put on the price of petrol (if there is any!!); food, drinks, programme etc and it is a very very expensive outing.

I've seen people posting on facebook how many they'd bought. None of them were less than 20!

I'm not moaning at you but they've got to be talking bollocks, the allocation for Lions Clubs is 20, unless some are being 'Looked after'

45 quid is ridiculous. Are we a Cat A game or do Norwich charge all away fans that?! Maybe they think it's 1992-93 again?!

Wolves fans were charged £35 last weekend Everton are being charged the same as us £45. Did a bit of research last weekend trying to anticipate how much they would charge!  Have a work colleague who is a Norwich fan will see if I can find out how they categorise games next week. Probably know we will sell out whatever the price.

Last game of the season, so there's likely to be big demand. I would imagine a large number of brummies will descend on Great Yarmouth on the Saturday as well.

I would suggest the ticket prices were calculated before the season started and they put them as high as they could get away with on the basis they might not be up for long and wanted to fleece every penny out of fans (including their own) that they could.

I don't really have a problem with newly promoted teams charging what they can, They're fear is that they'll be relegated straight away so they're doubling their gate receipts in case they go down. Tickets in the away end at QPR last year were £25, this year some clubs were being charged over £50.
