If them scruffy Yorkshire inbreds  charge  us anything like the figures shown then I hope the Villa have the bottle to provide reciprocal prices and add another £5 on. 

How can you charge more for a lower standard of football?  Sheffield Wednesday obviously live in a bubble.

The Wednesday site now says our match has been designated Cat. A, (Leeds is only cat B!). That's £52 for the best seat, and £45 behind the goal!. Hold on to your wallets!!.

Do that and you only penalise supporters.

On that subject, I just saw this on a Wednesday forum about their owner.

Quote
inherited a fortune from his Dad.  He is no business genius.
 
All his key staff keep leaving or get sacked.
 
The new COO will be gone by Xmas.
 
he hasn't got a clue on pricing.
 
his treatment of the box holders and reneging on contracts is absolutely disgusting.
 
He made an inspired managerial appointment and threw some money at it.  This is covering up the cracks.
 
if it starts going wrong on the pitch it will all fall apart.

Unbelievable, I was thinking of going, but now, I will sit at home and watch the game on my telly

How can they justify this, I bet when they were in the play off final at Wembley, some of the tickets for that match did not cost £45!

Still a massive rip-off, but it's £42-49 their Cat. A range for this season.

Whilst I agree, I think bearing in mind it we've entered into dialogue with them to help both set's of supporters which looks like was not agreed to, it would be justifiable if we charged them our top price whatever that is.

Looks like the initial allocation is in the lower tier.

£42 for a second division game. Robbing twats.

That is steep, the £30 cap really should apply in the second level as well. We could have been watching us at The Emirates or Old Trafford for £12 less which is ridiculous.

It wouldn't be justifiable. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Wouldn't seem fair now if Wednesday got charged £25 at our place (what Rotherham are paying), when they've benefitted from increased revenue by what they've charged us.

Also, their owner would probably think he can continue to get away with ripping away fans off and ignore reciprocal price offerings, if there is no comeback for his club for their away games. If their fans start getting charged £42 at a few places they will likely ramp up the pressure on their owner.

The sort of owner who charges those prices isn't going to be too worried about their own fans having to pay over the odds.
