That could be even worse value for money than the £15 to watch the U21s play at Newport

Do we have a reciprocal pricing policy ?

I hope we charge their away support the same prices when they come to VP

Then we are just punishing their fans, not the club that sets the price.

What we should do is refuse to buy tickets at that price., as should every other club.

You're right of course...and two wrongs don't make a right.....but it will be incredibly annoying if we charge them less

Its not our fault that the football club they support is morally corrupt. Hiking up our prices might help Chelsea supporters empathize with the rest of us. Chelsea are much more likely to take notice of some pressure from their own supporters than they are from those of other clubs.

It's not their fault either. Anyway, you can't charge away fans more for equivalent seats so that one's out.

On the upside, the prices haven't gone up for the last two years. I paid £55 down there when we beat them 3-1.

I'm not suggesting it is their fault. However, the football club that you support is ultimately a decision that you as an individual make. All of us have to be happy with our choice. I'm not aware of many moral scruples amongst Chelsea supporters about the nature of their recent success, or uneasiness being expressed by them about these kind of issues. If there was I might not be so vindictively inclined, even if it is all hypothetical **shakes fist**

I had to do a search on Pravda to see where Mr Shin found this info.

Like last season, new ticket news is being hidden away on pages promoting other games.

During my discussions with the TO last season, they said that they'd make things clearer. I guess they decided to continue to make us hunt for information.

Usually I agree with the sentiment of being the bigger man so to speak, but I quite like the idea of Chelsea fans suffering.

Everyone from that there London is rich, so high ticket prices are not a problem for them.

I'm not going.

They can shove their £55. I've been saying it for about 3 years now but I'm making my stand. Abramovich will be quaking in his boots.
 
First time I went down there it was a shit hole in the 80s, locked in for "our own safety" for half an hour, had bricks chucked over the wall at us and stood on an uncovered old terrace, all for a couple of quid.

I'd prefer to do that than pay £55 to sit in a sanitised bubble of a stadium, getting laughed at by posh fellas from Surrey.

I imagine we won't be too popular down there after our revelling in Terry's injury last season. Their fans have always been arseholes, with a few exceptions, but the announcer who minces across the pitch is a wanker of the highest order.

I never recall a decision. It just was. I like that.

Adult and under 16 at the Emirates four days earlier - £45.50

Same at that shit tip on the Wednesday - £78.50

No thanks.

And as for the reciprocal ticket thing - we should make 1 ticket - a restricted view one that we know won't sell £55 when they come to our place - and then charge all the Tarquins the same

There's still tickets available from the club.

Oh good. I'll try the usual route then! Assumed it would have sold out by now. Thanks.

If this sells out I'll dance down the Kings Road with nothing on except a Millwall babble hat.
