Looks like the Tottenham game is not gone sell out, Embarrassing!

its not just the ticket prices its the whole package/ day out. i am a season ticket holder, but due to the late change of date i nearly decided not to come due to the fact it will now cost me £60 for train & underground, which is double what it would have cost me if i had been able to book them well in advance as usual.

[Factamondo]

in all honest the product and match day experience at loftus rd is pretty dire!

have to go via Taunton when its a early kick off, not only is the fare a lot more expensive but I've had to stand the whole journey too

A cramped and old looking ground is not worth paying £55 for.

Add trains/travelcard. Mine is £15 with network railcard. £70 just to get through the gate. Add beer, food, programme. That is a ton and after Xmas. That is just not viable with 2 young children to feed.

I need a much better job to afford going down there now. If the prices were slightly cheaper then by all means you would see more people. But with LR the size it is. The club can't afford to do that.

There is only one solution..New ground. In business terms they all use. For the sake of the global brand.

Two points on this;
1. It will be a sell-out
2. I can't ever remember Spurs not filling the School End in my lifetime. There is something bigger going on with football that is not just affecting our support; Spurs and Citeh both going for top tier only and Citeh also sending 1k tickets back to Arsenal this weekend too! This suggests that the pricing structure is beyond acceptable levels for plenty of people, whatever the relative size of the club's support and the ground

hope this is the start of the football supporter saying enough is enough

Why people harp on about our home support is laughable, a bigger more comfortable stadium with affordable ticket pricing will add 1'000's to the attendances. Without a shadow of doubt they are out there, but too many fed up with cramped conditions, long queues for everything and expensive prices is preventing them from attending

prices will not go down, they will go up with a new stadium.

It wasn't that long ago that they tickets were £15 on match day and we still had 14k

[TBLOCKRANGER]

Had a look at our average attendance over the last few years and they have generally been between 14 to 16k, last year slightly higher. I think 93/94 we got just over 17k for the spurs game.

I don't know why we have historically had low gates but it can't simply be put down to cramped stadium, price, time of matches.

City fans b1tching on Talksport saying they'd refused to go to Arsenal as the tickets were £62, which is ridiculous.

[Ric-Roc]

Don't blame em. Didn't we get stuck for £60 or £63 last season to Foolham?

[QPR Richard]

The prem league auditors, Deloitte's said a few years ago that ticket pricing had reached its limit. With many clubs returning tickets because supporters refuse to pay the high prices, perhaps they're being proved right.

If ticket prices continue to rise, expect to see many more unfilled stadiums.

There are some realy important aspects to this debate.

1. The football clubs say there is a demand so keep putting prices up, even though PL clubs get enourmous revenue from TV now and will get an additionl ~57% next year. They don't need to keep abusing the loyalty of fans - especially as it is only to fuel the greed of players, managers and agents. Nothing else.

2. The cheapest season ticket at Arsenal (and other top PL clubs) is much more expensive that the most expensive at Barcelona. At Barcelona the season ticket includes all games, not just league games. A single ticket at Barca is expensive - the reason is that they are REWARDING loyalty by making a season ticket work out great value. This is the way it should be IMHO.

3. Football in Germany is where they really have got it right. It cost 15 euros to watch Bayern in possibly the best stadium in the world. 25 Euros to sit in a nice seat. You get all city transport thrown in. They have the highest gates in the world.

4. Man Utd had a 20+ year waiting list for season tickets not so long ago. Now they have none. This has tied in with big price increases there (and some other things I am sure, but mainly the price). They are still cheaper than QPR, but I think it shows there is a limit and we can't push it much more.

QPR are the worst team at the moment - we should not really be expecting people to pay these prices. The club are driving to maximise revenue, but the TV money will be the money, not the ticket prices. There is a real trend now for away allocations to send back lots of tickets, even with the big clubs (except UTD and Liverpool) because people just can't/won/t pay stupid money anymore. If action isn't taken it will get worse.

A good reason to have more club-fan-league interaction.

How can we have a go at foolham for **** support,when we can't even sell out 15k for a spurs game.
although in fairness it probably has something to do with the amount if glory hunting ****s in the local areas who support,utd,lpool,####,spurs and more recently.....barca and Real Madrid!!!

[Qprnw10]

Where's everyone drinking after the game,if we win?

[Artful]

And Arsenal have sold all returned to home support at £62!
