| Ticket pricing on 23:23 - Jul 11 by Daley_Lama |
If £28/£30 was announced it would be a race on here to start a boycott thread.
I would not be going and would be encouraging all and sundry to do the same.
I suspect bury will be Cat A and £30 too. Same goes for their fans. |
Nobody likes missing games but with this one there's no real option. If away fans don't boycott the game then it gives every Club ( including our own) the green light to start increasing their prices accordingly. *
I begrudge paying 23 quid to watch a league game because I don't think it represents any value for money. Personally, the prices are at the maximum I want to pay to watch football ( not what I can afford) and if they carry on rising then i will start missing games, cherry picking i think they call it.
Basically they are pricing fans out of the game. I would eventually resort to a mix and match policy. Miss some of the less attractive home games to finance the away games which I have decided to attend. You can roughly work out how much you currently pay over a season to watch football and just keep to that figure, work out how many games you can attend each season and pick them accordingly, no increase in expense but less games.
So nobody's a winner in this one and what Bolton have done could be the beginning of the end for a lot of supporters. It's not about trying to attract extra supporters anymore it's about extracting as much money as possible from the loyal fanbase and it's not right.
* The boycotting thread on the Blades forum is now running at 11 pages long. So the pricing policy for this game will result in Bolton actually losing money on what they would have expected to earn had Sheffield United taken their usual allocation for this game. Brilliant.
