Sheff Wed match day prices

Attending footy is hard enough as it is money wise with everything considered nowadays, most can barley afford it now.

I have always thought football immune from the the cost of living crisis. Crowds continue to increase.

I feel sorry for real football fans like Sheffield Wednesday regarding those ticket price hikes, but my club Spurs really are an utter disgrace Daniel Levy really is one greedy little c##t.

Watching Spurs with regards to being entertained over recent seasons has often been like going to the dentist for fun, and our reward is match day ticket prices rising by up to 20% a family of 4 sitting on the sides will have to pay up to £412 to watch a single game of football this coming season which is absolute sheer madness 😡

For a family with two adults and just two children to watch a Spurs home match in the Premier League next season it will cost at its cheapest for a Category C match - remember there's only four of them - in the family stand (where only two blocks contain such tickets) £111.

That same family would pay between £141 and £162 in the south stand. However, large parts of north and south stands do not have concessions so that price rises to £236 as you would have to pay the adult rate for four tickets. In the east and west stands, where there are also no concessions available, a family of four would have to pay between £250 and £320 to watch a football match.

Again, that's only for four matches a season. The majority of Spurs' Premier League home games - ten of them - are Category B where those few family end tickets - if available - come in at £133, or instead range from £171 to £380 elsewhere around the ground.

For those families looking to watch one of the Category A matches, they will need to fork out between £193 - if they can grab the spots in those two blocks in the family stand - and anywhere up to an eye-watering £412 should they look to sit in the east or west stands.

Last season the split was five Category A games, nine Category B and five Category C. For this coming season it will be six Category A, nine Category B and just those four Category C.

Levy knows that watching football is the new religion. Years ago the majority of the male population would not go to a match if it was free admission. Now the majority are prepared to go to any match, regardless of its importance or appeal just to be part of it. If some London clubs had the capacity, they would attract up to 100,000.

Although there are some notable exceptions mate (as seen on this thread), the reason why crowds continue to increase despite the cost of living crisis is down to the fact that football/season cards often offer good value compared to many of the alternatives - especially for families.

If you take us for example, a family of four can go to every game for less than £40 a match (and you are given 6 months to pay for the season card).

We went bowling the other week and I’m sure I paid £30 for two games and we were done in 40mins. Plus the kids got some drinks and stuff, which was another £15

You are spot on with the cheap cost of family tickets for football. It is leading to a gradual shift in the make up of a crowd at football. What surprises me are the huge numbers now travelling to away matches. However I am continually amazed af the popularity of football. I have been taking to people over the weekend who have watched the Euro 21 final. I hadn't realised it was on, with my interest in the Test match. I looked up the 1984 final as one of lads was pointing out it was the first time we had won this for 40 years. Bracewell and Pickering were in that team. The attendance at Bramall Lane for our final in 1984 was 12000. The semi final at Maine Road was 3,000.

Me too. Back in the late 90s/early 00s, I could get to any Southern based game up to Birmingham, and rarely missed out on a ticket from general sale (Oxford is the only one that comes to mind). Travel was cheap as chips compared to now.

Not a chance mate..No walk up, away fans are rightly going to say "Balls to that"...I reckon our average will drop lower than both our league 1 seasons, simply only see the team struggling
Such as bannan might get the plaudits in League 1,,...He'll be a simple "Midfielder" up here
Theres a distinct lack of pace in the squad
£36 for a bloody televised game on a Friday night????
Madness

Depends how we do.
Think we have sold about 22 thousand season tickets but pay on the day ticket prices will put loads off, especially if as expected, we are struggling.

You have a great club marra -but at those prices it’s not “ the common “ game it’s surely supposed to be
After the way I was treat after our play off win away ( tremendous fans) happy to say you are the other side I look out for now -gutted to see those pries
What is wrong with football? -we have 80 year old men who have supported safc for decades having to queue for hours to get a plastic card as the club go phone digital ( why not send them out ?) -Sheff Wed charging crazy prices beyond the means of most working folk -and millionaire players wanting more and more …
Yet I’m still looking forward to seeing Rigg tear it up -and TM and the lads on the front foot( bizarre all things considered)
It would be so so easy to treat fans well -no idea why clubs find it so hard ?

Evening matey, appreciate the nice words.

The pricing is just one of the things that has created such gloom and negativity after what was truly an epic couple of weeks in our history, everyone was on cloud nine.
DM leaving was a mixed reaction to be fair, but then the prices come out, our chairman rants about fans at a fans forum, he then completely ruins our new managers press conference with a rant about his duel with Carlton Palmer, brings out a ridiculous 10 year season ticket scheme ( cash only) and now our new manager is starting to moan about no new players coming in!!

Our pre season form is very worrying indeed.

I really see a struggle this season. A few quid on us to go back down wouldn't be the worse bet to make.

TBH I've never known a season ahead thats looked so bleak as this coming one.
I watched a fair bit of Championship on the tv last season and I can't remember seeing a team with a squad thats worse than the one we are going in with.
Ageing players, such as Bannan and Byers up here are nothing special just middling midfield players, no signings on the horizon, despite the ridiculous price hikes.
6 games in and things going badly the pitchforks will be out for the manager, because the chairman seems untouchable.
All the crap about the fans being the "12" man will turn on its head , because while 25k might be something special in League 1,,its not up here with Sunderland, leeds etc, especially if its having a go the players and the manager, I've never once heard Chansiri slated, thats surely on the cards, if not, we deserve what we get.
No surprise to me that Moore got out, he must have known what was coming, he wouldn't have had a hope in hell, he was being slated and getting the odd disgusting racist crap when we went 20 odd games unbeaten.
Chansiri defends it by saying Moore wanted too much money??....Pot /kettle?..the prices that idiots charging fans!
That press conference...unvieling a new manager then talking about Carlton Palmer for 10 minutes?...laughable
