48 quid a ticket for Chelsea away?

Postby paulmclaren » Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:01 pm

Me m8 just told me about this.
That is scandalous, 48 quid to go to a football game.
When will this end?
Someone at the f.a needs to step in here.
So add 50 quid petrol there and back and say a few beers and a munch 40 quid.
There's 140 quid, 'for one person'.
And it is hardly going to get cheaper in the months/years to come is it?
Not good at all this.

Surely the f.a or someone else have to just in and cap what they charge the average fan to pay?

If the tickets were reduced to £38, by your reckoning it would still be £130 'for one person' - Not much difference really.

Yeah its bollocks. With all the millions and millions everyone connected with the club earns, you'd expect ticket prices to be a bit more reasonable.

I'd say £20 a game for every game would be fair, home and away fans, sat wherever. The more money involved, the more I feel like a mug for bothering.

To be fair, Chelsea have been £48 for away fans for about 5 seasons now. Still too much but they ain't put it up

it was 47 pounds today for a ticket in the east stand,
plus the 2 pound booking fee = 49.

I paid that when we lost 6-0 there. I found it mildly amusing. I didnt have to pay for transport as I was living close by at the time.

Never again though.

You've got to be kidding me? £49? It was £25 just a few seasons ago.

I can't believe they're charging that.

Confirmed.

£49... Fair play to ANYONE who comes down from Manchester for this one. If it was televised then I think we'd have been lucky to bring 500.

It is being televised mate, the early kick-off.

On topic, I don't really think it's too expensive for a big London club especially seeing that is an 'A' grade game.

"Ticket details for the trip to face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday, March 20 (3pm) are now available."

Seriously, Fulham was £25 or so just a few seasons back. I can get to Craven Cottage on my monthly Travelcard - but I'm still not happy about the price.

Are Fulham really a big London Club? They're the only outfit I know who have a Neutral End aimed at bored Tourists.

Yeah i paid 25 or somthing like that when we played there a few seasons ago (an Mpenza goal springs to mind). Absolute joke isnt it. I heard rumour of a boycott? I go to most away games but i WONT be going to this.

Hardly the point is it?
Overall.
Yourself, you are paying well over 100 pound to watch a game of football.

Its how other teams perceive us!
Arsenal away in April again is still classed as a cat B game and will be £32.50 but West Ham in May class it as cat A and will be £45.
If we finish top 4 this season ALL our games on the road next season will be cat A/A+.
We'll have to get used to it!
