I'm doing research for my documentary named 'The rise in football ticket prices - pricing the average man out of the game?' Just found this... For the season of 2006/2007 Conference side Exeter were charging £595 for their most expensive season ticket, this was more expensive than the most expesnive season ticket for the following: 24/24 League Two Sides 24/24 League One Sides 20/24 Championship Sides 10/20 Premiership Sides WTF!  |

Quality football, that's what you get. And a whole bunch of open minded fans Actually, good luck to Excreta as they run as effectively a fans' cooperative. The last game i went to they issued times for the following day for volunteers to come and pick up the litter and tidy the "stadium" as they run on goodwill. Apparently people turn up and do it too. There are also, I believe, a whole variety of ways in which people support the club financially and I suspect that grossly over inflated season tickets as a form of voluntary donation is probably one. Meanwhile, premiership footballers take 100k a week and everybody bemoans that our infrastructure is not producing enough home grown talent. Anybody spot the problem? |

Clubs will charge what the think the can get away with. We recently had a cup replay with non-league Oxford with ticket prices at £20 in advance and £22 on the day. That was £7 more than the previous round's fixture with league 2 club Rochdale. Suffice to say after a campaign to boycott the game we had just 2,700 on the night, as against an average crowd of around 8,000.
As a season ticket holder I remember the days when you got up to 4 cup games with your season ticket, I would at least like a discount, and not to pay more than my average seat price to watch a team two leagues below us.
