Fans criticise 'dynamic pricing' at Valencia

Didn't take long, Valencia are introducing dynamic pricing.

Being shit was definitely cheaper. £2k on flights, £450 on home tickets for me and the lad, probably another grand in accommodation costs. Then maybe another £200-300 in tickets. Maybe a £500 in spends, perhpas more with rail costs out in these places. Fuuuuuucking hell.

I see there’s nothing on the YB’s away game yet. Any idea when that’ll be announced?

The more season ticket holders that don’t take their seats up the happier that Heck & co will be…flog everything at premium prices…even better if senior concessions don’t go.

Wonder if press want to step up now & properly criticise Heck…had it pretty easy after the Arsenal farce

I love this bit:

"It wouldn’t be fair for someone who planned ahead and bought a ticket early to pay the same as someone who waited until the last minute"

Why? They're getting exactly the same thing. A thin excuse to cover up ripping people off.

A spokesperson for the Football Supporters' Association (FSA), which represents fans in England and Wales, said: "With impeccable timing after the Oasis fiasco, voices in football have started to float the idea of infecting football with dynamic pricing.

"Never underestimate the potential for the most greedy owners in football to try and import terrible ideas from other industries to exploit supporter loyalty".

Does anyone know, what does a non season ticket holder pay for a Category A game in the Lower Holte?

At these prices, I will probably only attend the Bayern Munich game.

This. What the fuck has it got to do with them whether people plan in advance?! There will come a time in the not-distant future when they'll be begging for last-minute ticket sales (and they won't be on sale at the prices the early planners paid).

The ticket prices are more or less what I expected. Given the quality of the teams we've been drawn against the demand will be there to sell, even at those prices.

I've waited too long to see us at this level again & I'll stump up the money but I can understand that it's a step too far for some.

This is why Heck was OK with binning the North stand rebuild.

Fewer seats, high demand, high ticket prices.

Knowing our ticket office, about three days before the game.

As a season ticket holder I will be investing more for one CL game than Brady paid for his holding in Small Heath.
Now who is the bigger club, noses?

It could be the home team delaying things but you’d like to think we’d know by now.
I’ve got 2 away from last season so it’s doubtful I’ll get one but I’d like know before flight prices become ridiculous.

No way I'm paying those prices, Jose!

Looks like it'll be listening to the radio & then catching highlights later on my phone/telly. What a kick in the (metaphorical) balls by the club after all these years of waiting. I'll be surprised if the games sell out.
