Always amazes me when I see people paying more than £7 for a bottle of 3.4 percent Carlsberg. Even more so now my.wife has told me that Tesco have 18 bottles for £9!!! Bonkers. |  | | |  |

Yeah stopped that nonsense years ago ! If I’m missing 5 minutes of the first half then waiting another 10 mins while being pushed and shoved by people trying to get to the toilet , there’s not a chance in the world I’m paying £7 or whatever for a bottle of carlsberg! |  | | |

I've stopped drinking at the ground this season and now thoroughly enjoy not waiting 20 minutes to get an overpriced crap beer. |  | | |

I'll only have a beer at LR if someone else is queuing and buying me one 
At Wembley last week I paid £7.50 for a pint of Camden Hells and I was thinking that was reasonable...
FML, as the kids say. |  |

Know this gets raised every fans forum but surely there is a way of stocking nicer beer? Pulling pints out of the question presumably... | |

i can see why they do this, at h/t it's basically a 15min business model, however the mark-up is clearly excessive! For the business minded on here, could there be a model whereby you prepay some form of beer tokens bringing the price down? The motivation for them being that you never fully spend your allocation so that they get to keep the difference at the end of the season ? | | | |

Because of playing in a wedding band for 20+ years and I could not drink on a Sat afternoon I have never associated going to LR with buying booze.
I brought the old man to the Sheff U game and he insisted buying us a beer before the game - but messed up his pin number enough times that I ended up paying for them both anyway. £14 for two bottles of pizz. It was gone in two gulps and dad ended up putting half of his in the bin as he needed a pizz before we went up to our seats 
It's a difficult choice because if they have everyone's decent lager, you get to the stage where the person serving is waiting 5 mins whilst Jim is phoning Steve to ask whether Dave said he wanted Moretti or Kingfisher and to tell Rob that there is no IPA this week so does he want Moretti, Kingfisher or a bottle of Marti Cifuentes?
Keep it simple, keep it expensive, those who want to drink it will still drink it. |  |

I like the system they had at Southampton a few years back. Behind the cashiers there was a shelf and the beer taps were behind that. There was a gang of staff just pouring pint after pint and putting them on the shelf. When you asked for two beers the cashier could just reach behind them and hand them over, very quick service. | | | |

That's usually what happens at Test matches.
As pointed out if people keep turning up at LR and paying over the odds for a bottle of Carlsberg then that is unlikely to change anything! | |

I have spent the most of my money/years going to concerts and after parking and tickets just never bothered with drinks and enjoyed that being almost oblivious to that scene.
However in 2024 I went with 2 friends to see a rock show and they went straight to the bar before we even found our seats.
They bought for me of course and 10 minutes into the show after another round it was my turn.I had to go up to the concourse ,wait in line and pay $45 dollars for 3 beers I nearly dropped dead.
Of course it was cashless and the pay machine would not release my card until I tipped so I dug in my heels until a kind woman reached around and pushed an almost invisible "no tip at this time "button and I was free to head back down.
I missed at least 2 songs and felt frustrated so I let them know I was out for any more rounds .
Lots of people go to concerts for food and drinks I suspect and the music is background noise .
Football is totally different of course its non stop action for 90+ minutes so food and drink become secondary I think .
7 pounds per beer sounds like a deal btw |  | | |

I'd probably pay it if it was 'Neck oil' or 'Gamma Ray' (first nice ones that popped in my head), even a Perroni but shit lager pfff.
I'd rather drink after.
I think I had Hobgoblin once in the Ellerslie or am I mistaken? |  |

Hobgoblin is on tap at the hut in the Loft concourse.
Weak as hell, annoying that they replaced Shipyard with it. |  | | |

Back in the eighties when we were sponsored by Guinness I remember they had numerous pints of draught Guinness already poured before, during and at half time in the lower loft.
Great days indeed. | | | |

The thing is, there is only a small window for people to buy the drinks and a maximum we can physcially sell, due to time to get served so on.
So by going from £6.25 to £7.25 (or there abouts) has probably stopped some people getting a drink, but I (and I have nothing to back this up) imagine that the actual numbers of beers hasn't dropped, due to service times and people previously giving up.
Doesn't make the pricing right, of course.
We can't do the pre pouring model as we don't have space for the pints.
I would be more inclined to get a drink at HT, before kick off, if the beer was Estrella, like what they stock in the Loft now. Presumably the catering company could swap them out. Carlsberg is a stupid choice. | | | |

Same in Ellerslie.
My memory tells me that the pints had a plastic lid on them, could be wrong.
I recall a chap demanding that they pour him a fresh Guinness as that is the only way it should be served or drank, held the queue up for what seemed like an age. | | | |

Cheers, might have got my stands mixed up it was a while ago.
Hobgoblin is good at a music festival if you are drinking all day. Gets you drunk but you can remember the gig...mostly. | |
