For the same reason that a ticket in the area I sit in will cost £38 on Tuesday. |  | | |

No championship game should cost more than 30 pounds. That would help a little with transport food and drink etc. Football is a expensive hobby. | | | |

They are decent seats, upper tier and on the side of the pitch. They have to be charged the same as home fans would in an equivalent area. |  | | |

I don't think any regular ticket for a league match in England should cost that much, certainly not in the second division. Premium/corporate seats and major fixtures such as cup finals are different, but you could watch a newly released film or go to an exhibition for a fair bit less than the cost of a standard seat to watch 90 to 100 minutes of football. |  |

Not sure about that. £38 is too much for home or away fans, for any game, speaking as someone who often sits/stands in A block when my brother or one of our mates can't make a game. |  | | |

Only 10 pounds more than the cheapest tickets in the ground. Everything is expensive these days. Its costs 24 pounds to get into speedway or 20 for the stockcars at foxhall. | | | |

Doesn't mean it's right though. When myself and my pals where teenagers(early 90's) we could afford the trip to Ipswich most weekends, the equivalent me now would have no chance. | | | |

I'm sure that I used to pay £35 on the NSL turnstile during the McCarthy era. | | | |

Teenagers must be able to afford it today, there is loads in the ground. | | | |

Under 19 prices are very reasonable… £120 for a ST. |  |

Cat A home games are £43 a ticket, so why not £38 for away fans? | |

For category A games (like Southampton in August) we charge £43 and £38.
I know revenue is important, but that's unreasonable for Championship football, and likely means we'll be charged the same when we visit in April. [Post edited 18 Jan 18:14]

Greed which has become endemic within the football world.
It's the same with membership fees for season ticket holders etc.
Late stage capitalism innit. |  | | |

Fair enough. But are you genuinely comftable with tickets at £38 a pop doesn't sit well with me and I'm not effected.
Yes I know the club needs to raise income 38 nuggets for someone traveling from Sheffield or wherever just because it is deemed a higher category game isn't right. [Post edited 18 Jan 18:21]

Our home prices have risen steadily over the last 2 years.To watch Bristol City 2 years ago would have cost £28 in SBRL, its £34 on Tuesday. In Cobbold Block C, its £36 to £43.
20% increase in 2 years, if you factor in the £2 reduction if you had membership which was silently removed. | |

Thry can’t charge away fans more than home fans. |  |

I think the fun comes once we start increasing season tickets. They're cheap at the moment in comparison, and we oversold in April 23. I cynic in me suggests the season ticket waiting list is as much to gauge interest for demand currently as much as for when we knock down the Cobbild.
Forest increased their tickets by 25%-30% 2 years ago (following a hike of 20% when they firest got promoted). Cheapest is now £575. | |

Why not? Is that an official EPL rule, a club rule or a made up rule? | | | |

Beyond that, away tickets should not be charged at the average or maximum of a home fan. Ultimately, a football club in the Prem or Championship are not relying on away fans to remain financially viable, we should want a busy away section - whoever is playing whom - to help atmosphere and energy generally, and all clubs should be aware of all the extra associated costs of going to away games and be measured in their ticketing. |  | | |

Who says they have to be?
There's not a football law that says away fans have to be charged what home fans are, and more than that away fans (and we are away fans too) get no choice about the part of the ground, so it's not like they can choose a cheaper area if they want. | | | |

Yeah all that's coming.
The Americans have done a lot of good and improved the club but it's still a ruthless sports model they are pursuing.
As a season ticket holder, I have a pint in the pub and every so often buy a Bovril sometimes on the concourse but that's it.
Whereas the club will want more people spending a hundred quid in the shop and coming for a one off game with expensive tickets.
What clubs aren't thinking about though is that if you don't value the proper supporters and replace them with customers then those customers won't think twice about taking their custom elsewhere if the product isn't what they want.
Interesting and depressing times ahead for English football. [Post edited 18 Jan 19:22]
