In which part of the ground? I've just paid a tenner for my lad, who is 5. That's to sit in X Block (Ellerslie). I'll be most annoyed if the same seats are now selling for half the price.

[kron-1664]

dunno just saw it in the evening standard

[Hoopla73]

There seems to be only about 700 tickets available.

However, why would anyone buy before the game is confirmed as going ahead?

Surely it'll go ahead. London seems to be calming down again and we have a good few days to go before Saturday.

Yes, QPR could fill a 25,000 stadium if the tickets were cheaper and the seats were more comfortable that those at Loftus Road.

The reason this game is not sold out is quite clear from the advert. Adult seat prices start from £40. That's £40 to sit in the corners and paddocks and £55 if you want a half decent view.

If they were priced along the lines of those charged by Everton, Wigan, Wolves,West Brom, Wigan & Blackburn etc then I am confident that all the stands apart from the School end would have sold out weeks ago.

Again, if 12,000 STs were made available at between £550-800 they too would have sold out.

Do you seriously think that fans wont have bought up all the tickets for this game if the prices were cheaper?

In case you have forgotten already, QPR either sold out or had only a few severely restricted view tickets left to home fans for the last few home games last season. 18,000 against Leicester and Leeds, near 18,000 for Hull etc.

Many of last season's games were almost sold out, apart from the tickets set aside for away fans and those with severe view restrictions.

[Mooo block]

We would defo fill a stadium 25k if prices were reasonable and the stadium up to date. Far too many restricted view seats for a stadium of our size

Nail on head

[RussRanger]

Agree with stanistheman and mooo. And before the "We got promoted, what do you expect because we are now watching Wayne Rooney, blah, blah, blah" brigade get on.

What everyone expected was a fair price increase. What they didn't expect was to one minute be paying £20-£25 and then £45-£50 the next for the same seat. I would be going this Saturday, if there had been a reasonable price increase but I'm not going to pay double to watch - with respect - Bloody Bolton Wandererers.

Sure this would have been sold out otherwise.

Not about "not being Pwoppa Rangers," more I have a family to look after and simply can't afford it or justify it. Good luck and fair play to all those who can though.

I didn't renew my ST this year. It was the principal of how much I hate the owners, and my decision on what I consider to be VFM. I don't mind paying £30-35, but not £45-50 to sit in a cramped seat with no legroom, and sit next to someone who hasn't washed his lycra football shirt for 3 months. I'll try to pick a few games, mainly away, and enjoy the rest on TV this year, or until B&E are gone.

If we had a modern stadium, and the price was reasonable, I bet there are at least 10,000 like me. So yes, we could fill 25-30k stadium. The ticket price is deliberately manipulated to allow for our titchy ground

It's polyester! And my washing machine is up the spout (shes got flu to be precise :p)....

[Terry-Mancini-123]

Not sure about the assertion that we'd easily fill a 25-30 thousand seater. If the results are going our way we have a chance, but as the weeks and months go by
and winter sets in coupled with probable bobbing along near the bottom ( and I am by no means a pessimist) I would expect us to struggle to fill our current stadium. Last season in the last few games we had sell outs yes; but we were top of the league and very close to confirming promotion and everyone wanted a piece of that. A wet February home to Wigan? I'm not sure about that.
