Kitman 2207 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 From the Beeb Price of Football - Premier League Newcastle United offer the cheapest day out for adult fans in the Premier League, with tickets starting at £15. BBC Sport's Price of Football study shows that Newcastle , Aston Villa ,Fulham and Wigan all offer a ticket, programme, pie and cup of tea for less than £30, with Newcastle the cheapest at £23. Chelsea's cheapest day out is the most expensive in the top flight at £49.60, while champions Manchester City have the second-cheapest season tickets in the league at £275. Read comprehensive division-by-division tables here to find out what it costs to follow your team The most expensive matchday ticket in the division is at Arsenal , with some seats for the club's top category games costing £126. All clubs offer a host of special offers on certain fixtures, but they were asked for the cheapest and most expensive matchday tickets which were not part of any promotion. Arsenal's most expensive seat has gone up from £100 last year, but they have also reduced prices. Last year's cheapest matchday seat was £35, and this year it has come down to £26. Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis says clubs in the top flight must be careful not to take their supporters for granted. He told BBC Sport: "During the last year we spent a lot of time working with our fan groups to develop our ticketing strategy and create a wider and broader range of prices. "That's been a collaborative effort between us and our fans which has been welcomed by our fans as a positive development. Bundesliga bargain Prices at German champions Borussia Dortmund: Adult ticket (purchased on day): Cheapest: £12.30 Most expensive: £40.18 Season ticket (adult) - cheapest:£150.27; most expensive: £819.67 (includes three Champions League group games) Bratwurst: £2.01 Beer: £3.62 Programme: £1.61 *all prices converted from euros "It's something that all of us in football need to keep an eye on and keep responsive to because what we don't want to do is price out particularly younger fans from the live experience of football. "That is such a fundamental part of the bond young people form with football. It isn't just an issue for Arsenal but across the game." Arsenal's cheapest season ticket at the Emirates is £985 and the most expensive £1,955, although that includes seven FA Cup or European games in addition to the standard 19 Premier League matches. Wigan have the cheapest season tickets on offer in the top flight - they start at £255 - with the most expensive seat at the DW Stadium costing £310 for 19 Premier League games. A programme in the Premier League will cost fans £3 or £3.50, while the cheapest pie can be found at Wigan , who charge £2.30. Fulham's is the most expensive at £3.90.

Christmas Tree 4827 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Where are these 15 quid adult seats at SJP? Every cup and European game and iirc certain league games. (Think they are doing it for the West Ham game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Your Name Here Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) The survey relates to PL games and I've never seen an adult ticket for a PL for 15 quid. it's got to be bull. Edited October 18, 2012 by Your Name Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Aren't the pies and the pints awful at SJP? Guess you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Pies are fine (occasionally get one that burns your mouth out). The pints are hit and miss. Lager tastes like soil, but the Guinness and Caffrey's is canny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get an adult ticket in the family section for category shit games for 15 quid but you have to buy at least two tickets. Cheapest adult ticket you can buy by itself is 26 pound.?

2bias 3 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Spoke to my "mate" a spurs fan about this and his response was "oh it's that cheap cause you'd never fill your stadium" I didn't bother responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Your Name Here Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The prices at SJP aren't bad but the stuff in that BBC report is weird. The compulsory NUFC membership for Season Ticket holders wasn't factored in for a start, and the disgusting prices for away tickets wasn't even mentioned. There's a double edged sword to all this. A Sportsdirect style pricing strategy is at odds with champion league aspirations. You can't run something like an F1 motel and expect it to pick up a five star rating.

NYD 0 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'd love to know the average income of all the fans who go to all the games, Arsenal and Chelsea fans must all be in very good jobs even allowing for the north south divide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7170 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yournamehere, you seem unhappy that we have the lowest priced tickets in the league? I'm not sure what there is to be unhappy about? £15 tickets mean the difference between 47000 and 52000 being in the ground. One of the few things Ashley has done right imo. He's done it for at least 2 premier league games and all cup and European games thus far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Your Name Here Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 What I have a problem with is the endless stream of half truths that eminate from SJP, which then get disseminated by a media that never scrutinises anything. The result being a false public perception of the state the club I (you) care about is in. The BBC clearly state their survey doesn't include promotional prices, yet the data for NUFC seems to be based on promotional prices…. go figure. We used to be able fill SJP without selling thousands of cut price tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Still... The cheapest day out is at Newcastle United, at £23.20, while Cardiff City, Norwich City and Manchester City also offer a ticket, a programme, a pie and a cup of tea for less than £30. The Magpies offer the cheapest adult match-day ticket at £15, with the other three clubs selling one for £20. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24012939 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
