Lots of people can't afford it.
If we ever got to the Premier league, you wouldn't be there but we would have lots of new supporters.

Glad I pay just the £17 I would never pay £77 to watch a game of football. But thinking about it, I bet there are people thinking ill never pay £17 to watch a game of football. Where do you draw the line? |

I'm just about on my limit now.
I'm one of those fans who are willing us not to make the playoffs.
Couldn't afford to go if we become more successful.

What should we do "if" we were to get promoted? Increase ticket prices, and generate more money for the team, what in turn will alienate our core fans? Or, leave them as they are, and have less money to invest in new players? |

there's a huge difference between: paying for what things are worth, and what you are willing to pay....
again, this depends largely on how fat your wallet is and/or how stupid you are....
completely subjective

Normally I'd be proud but this time I was actually serious and fully agree with Gaz's post. |

I think the so called minority sports will get more popular. Football must be reaching its limit by now IMO

How much is a season ticket at Rovers?

Mine is just a little over 300 quid for the South Stand.
I get a free one for HTY with that.
We need to do about 12 games to break even on Pay on the Day prices. Depending on how many evening games there are it's good value but every rearranged fixture makes it considerably less worthwhile.
The simple fact is if I didn't buy a ST we would go to a lot less games.

What is noticable from my armchair is that the PL is in a state of grape-noshing decadence and is beginning to eat its own tail. The action by the Liverpool fans could prove vital. I can't understand why they have to up the price when the TV lolly keeps rolling in in ever-increasing amounts. They've pushed the fans to the edge and now they're pushing back. It'll be interesting to follow developments here on in. You can't keep feeding a performing monkey and think it'll keep on performing. The TV companies have pushed it to the edge too. Sky and its international partners recently added the Spanish and Italian leagues to their offering in a blaze of trumpets. Two months later they put their prices up. No package solutions, if I want to watch PL, CL, FA Cup, League Cup, Championship and playoff games then I have to pay extra to watch the Italian and Spanish leagues too for which I have no interest whatsoever. I know I could always end my subscription but that's easier said than done.

Lots of pictures of people who have paid money to go into the stadium to complain about paying money to go into the stadium. It's a bit like saying you're on strike, but going to work, to say it.

They have bought season tickets this year and are complaining about price hikes in the future. Can't agree with your point. |

Perspective. At Liverpool, this 77 quid is only for six Cat A games, and only covers 200 seats, the best in the house. 200 out of 40,000......They are obviously aiming for the fans who are prepared to pay a bit more. No different to Business or First-Class on a plane.
I would never pay 77 quid, but I'm sure there are plenty that will. The protests are a bit OTT in my opinion.
Oh, and in some parts of the ground the prices have either been frozen, or actually reduced.

I see that Jamie Carragher was one of those who joined the walk out against Sunderland. I don't suppose it crossed his mind that when he played for Liverpool, he was probably earning more in one week than the majority of fans earn in a year. I don't suppose it crossed his mind that the high wages that the players demand are reflected in the ticket prices?

It would be great if the Rovers made it to the big show. We may not be able to afford to go anymore, but it will still be our team. The high achievers will replace us in the stands, Maybe go twice a season as a treat. Spend some quality time with the wife, carrying bags around the Mall every Saturday.
Fck it let's sell Taylor and give Hawking a run out.

They have bought season tickets this year and are complaining about price hikes in the future. Can't agree with your point. Well, the point on one level is actual factual, ie they really are in the ground having paid to get there. But the intended implication is that while there is still a market (and they are the market), the prices will be subject to the laws of supply and demand. For every scouser who sticks to his guns and refuses to get a ticket next season (or simply cannot afford one) there will be three queuing up to replace him. And the market is effectively a monopoly, coz not many will decide to go to Everton, or Tranmere, instead. |

My lad is on the waiting list for a season ticket at Anfield, and at the moment I think he is number 25,000 (or thereabouts) on the list. PS - Yes, I have failed as a parent. The shame is everlasting. |
