How does any team who offer a similar deal stop away fans buying a ticket?
looks like they'll take anyone's money who's willing to pay it

This is part of the hypocrisy of Premier League clubs. Lend your season ticket to a mate and they'll ban you, buy a corporate and they don't care.

The ticket price is pretty irrelevant if you’re coming long distance I reckon. Me and the missus paid about £500 for tickets to see Anthony Joshua lose in Madison Square Garden, but as we spent about 3 grand on the five day trip and did loads of other stuff, the price of the fight tickets didn’t seem that important.

If he was on at Villa Park I think it would be more price sensitive for me.
I agree about the ticket price not being so important if you're travelling.
Im coming over for the Forest game with my son and by the time we've paid for flights, hotel and 3 days dining out the difference between £30 and £55 for match tickets is neither here nor there.

Spot on, and let's hope you're dining out on a victory come Sunday night.

For what it's worth I paid a company £600 to take me to El Claisico at the Bernabeau in 2014. 

For £600 I got return flights, 3 nights in a City Centre hotel in Madrid and tickets for the match right on the half way line.

I didn't think that was too bad as a bucket list match ticked off.

Pffft .... some Legia Warsaw fans paid a couple of hundred of quid to stand in a car park on Witton Road for a couple of hours.

That's £790 in today's money, still not bad.

I didn't think so.  Excellent service from the company too.  They are called Indulge Travel.

When 8 of us went over to Bosnia in December, we booked a minibus in advance to pick us up from Sarajevo airport for the 3 hour drive to Mostar. When we booked it, we cheekily asked if the driver could get us any tickets for the game. He greeted us at the arrivals and had 4 home tickets for us, face value. That’s what I call a match package. The other 4 tickets we got were from an even more unlikely source…
