im really sorry i dont like that image. didnt mean to offend.

Can honestly see prices increasing next season if we go up.We will get the usual spiel about investing more money on players etc. and fans need to do our bit to help.

Wigan can sell ST's for under £300 so i will be dissapointed if prices do go up.And we will be getting 4 less games for the money.

I think they will go up without a doubt but the problem they have at the moment is because they are so high still at the moment thay are linited in how much they can shaft us all again

The Gold Silver and Bronzr schem simply has to go but it will take at least three years to repair the damage caused and mates getting to sit by each other again and not seperated because ones earns more than another and is prepared to fork out on a so called better seat

sotonhoops, some very good points

wish I never asked the question now.



its been taken out of context, I asked the question purely on my behalf no-one elses just to get an opinion.

I should have waited to end of the season

Northernxile, scarlett at some point whether it be 3 or 6 months time its bound to be discussed.

Maybe try thinking before you post for once.

Maybe they will look at Arsenal's and Tottenham's prices.

They may well do so but Arsenal and Spurs will always have a better class of player unfortunately and also the lure of European games to watch which to be honest we are light years away from playing

Fulham have set a decent pricing precedent locally but QPR still in their wisdom decided to set our prices higher despite a neutral more then likely wanting to watch a Premiership game like Fulham v Man City at a cheaper price then say QPR v Doncaster

QPR have dug themselves a massive hole and will find it very hard to get out with alienating many of our fanbase yet again

[stan_bowles]

Was just looking at Fulham's prices.

Cat C (Wigan for example) £20 to £35

Cat B (Villa for example) £30 to £42

Cat A (Chelsea for example) £45 to £60

Would not be suprised to see us go along those lines if we go up.

[Aztattooedsean]

I am no longer shocked when I see all the various price ranges put out by clubs in the UK.

It was so shocking being able to go to a handful of Bundesliga matches during the Germany part of my recent trip to Germany and then to London. Granted, they can get away with some of that as they still have standing terraces but it still was wild to see.

[loftboy]

Why will the prices go up as the fat Italian told us we were paying
Premiership prices now?

[BUSHRANGER1982]

Look, nobody likes getting ripped-off, this is what QPR has to take into account when deciding it's pricing structure in future.
So far, the club has angered, alienated, pished-off, actually gone out of it's way to drive away fans with the way it decides to structure matchday pricing.

We need to lure fans back to Loftus Rd, and becoming one of the most expensive clubs in London won't cut the mustard.

Fulham have it about right, in every sense. Their example is the one to follow.

Benny,

I am not speaking on behalf of anyone at the club, you should know that. Ultimmately whether we like it or not, the club are a business and if I was running it, would be looking at maximising revenue on various arears at a time where in January we probably need to spend another few million and latter part of season demand will be high.

Think its a fair question to ask

11 home games in january, with approximately 7000 season ticket holders.
If our gates can increase to 16k, with 9000 paying on the door at an extra £5 a head we can increase the match ticket revenue by £45,000. Over the 11 matches we could make £450,000. A risky gamble for not much of a reward

I have based my calculations on what i believe to be a realistic forecast. Although we might sell out a few of them games, the away end won't and there will still be under 8's coming for free.

So, if the club really needs to earn some extra revenue, perhaps we could look at trimming the wage bill. Maybe it might be a good idea relieve Olga Paladini from her consultancy duties as she was paid a wage last year for doing nothing

[qblockpete]

You make good points until the last point, which bears no relevance to what we are talking about and of course its not true

You do make a good poitn about the 450k, but you are leaving out merchandise and all sorts of things

It's relevant as you have asked if the club should look at increasing revenue. By trimming the wage bill will help increase revenue, can't you see that?

She was paid a wage for last season

[qblockpete]

o dear..trouble is some will believe she was paid a wage

Anyway do you think any chance of sticking on the subject?

Well when the accounts are released we will see

He's right comes straight from an Auditor for the club, last set of accounts Olga Paladini was paid as a Consultant without doing any physical consulting for that financial year. I don't know whether it will show up (nor do I care) but its true, paid a small fortune from what I hear as well.

A few other things I was told I can say but won't, these are good times for the club no need to get into all that debate. Everyone can see what you are trying to do today, you are an embarrassment as a fan of the club I support. Can't you disappeared back to Cuba and do us all a favour, your input is pointless.

Nothing more to say on the matter as I suspect you would love this sort of debate to get the traffic.
