£71 in the Putney for Newcastle at home. £77 in the Hammersmith or Putney for Liverpool, and £83(!!) for a kids ticket in the central blocks of the Johnny Haynes. But don't panic, it's only £59 for behind the goals v Palace and the dearest kids ticket is only £59 for the central Johnny Haynes blocks. Bargain. I absolutely hate the cun ts who run our club. |  |

Interesting a guy I know through work and is a Fulham season ticket holder with 3 seats and is quite well off was invited to see the stand and the facilities recently as a sales pitch. He was offered a package which included food and drink of £4k for a season ticket which he politely declined. Whilst he isn't short of a few quid, he has been going for over 50 years, first went with his old man etc and generally scratches his head at where some of the pricing has gone. I think one of the challenges they have is that corporate sales can be difficult as the unit cost of a ticket presents difficulties in industries such as Banking when inviting guests to a game due to the bribery act and the need for such "gifts" to be formally recorded.
I have friends with tickets at Leicester with similar food and drink facilities etc and they cost about £2k. |  | | |

£4k for a season ticket, because it includes food and drink. Are they serving it on gold plates?
19 games in the PL (can't imagine it includes cup games) means circa £210 a game. WTF!
If I was a Fulham fan I'd be worried. Are these tickets being priced to service debt, what happens if/probably when they get relegated again? Who in their right mind would pay that sort of money to watch Milwall at home? |  | | |

Khan has converted the huge losses accumulated to equity, so I think we're okay on that front at the moment. | |

Tony Khan is the DOF , but yes, he runs a wrestling company, and he appears to be pretty er, "wired" a lot of the time. Could just be too many Haribo, though. Given that we've made a lot of good signings over the past couple of years, I would guess that he's more focussed on the wrestling than football these days, and more of a figurehead. | |

@Northernr "The money now is not in giving up seats in your mega stadium to some 66 year old who's been following the team for 50 years and giving him a discount just cos he's getting on in years. The money is in the family, or large group, coming in from South Korea, or the US, for one game a season - most expensive ticket, big spend in the club shop, money no object because it's a holiday etc. I enjoyed the debate at Spurs last week about 'the plastics' and ticket prices going up - guys, you've missed the memo, the plastics are the ones pumping up to a grand into the club on one visit, that's who they want, not you and your discounted pensioner's season ticket who doesn't buy anything in the ground because obviously £120 for a replica shirt and £12 for a pint in a plastic cup is a fcking liberty."
A Spurs season ticket holder was saying last week that he believes that the club no longer wants any season ticket holders (his season ticket was £1300).
We used to talk about the gentrification of football. This is the Airbnbification of football. [Post edited 5 Apr 13:38]

The ECJ has merely said that they may carry on, not that it will carry on.
Think about it. Where is the money supposed to come from?
Answer: from massive American venture capitalists (who, incidentally, must be a lot more cautious now than when they calculated the initial figures).
And where were they going to get it back, with profit?
Answer, from TV, media, streaming rights and sponsorship etc.
Which probably looked a safe bet when they were offering the cream of European football to viewers and subscribers. But now you're talking Real, Barca, Juve and a supporting cast of eg Ajax, Benfica, Copenhagen and Celtic/Rangers etc, how many people are going to tune into that? Every. Bloody. Season.
All of which is before you consider the counter attractions of UEFA's latest revamped competitions, the Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga etc, not to mention the ever more dominant EPL.
And look too, to the failure of the Chinese Super League, plus the present struggles of the Saudis. That is, even with all their money and resources, they couldn't challenge the existing football establishment.
If I thought I'd live long enough, I'd be willing to make a 50 year bet that the ESL as envisaged, whether Version 1.0, 2.0 or whatever, won't ever see the light of day, |
I'm well aware of what the ECJ decision was.

Except that they're offering the product for free. One of the big changes they've made since the failed initial attempt was to try and appeal to fans by basically lying through their teeth about how the ESL would be good for football - even the little guys! And their biggest sop is to brag that they're somehow going to offer this amazing product that the world is crying out for, for free. No subscription fees whatsoever. |  |

You look at the big, new, stodgy structure for the Champions League and you could be forgiven for thinking they've basically already done it, or at least taken the first step towards doing it, while everybody was distracted with the supposed evil threat over there. |
The original breakaway clubs were all well aware of UEFA's proposals for restructuring the UCL, UEL and UECL before it was announced - they were all consulted and part of the process. UEFA felt its hand was forced to reformat the competitions due to such threats from the big clubs, so there was surprise when the ESL launched (hastily and shoddily) the very day before UEFA was announcing its 'post-24 reforms' | |

To start with.
The thinking presumably being that (a ) they have to offer a gimmick like this to have any chance of getting off the ground; and (b ) once it's done so, and it has screwed UEFA and the CL etc, then they start charging.
Pure desperation. | | | |
