In general, do you feel the prices of football tickets are too high?
Do you think making a documentary on football ticket prices would be a good idea?
Would you be interested in watching it? If no, why not?
Can you think of any clubs in particular whose prices are steep for what they are getting?
Can you think of any clubs in particular who have a good ticket pricing scheme with value for money for the fans?
Thank you for your time

FAO Rich:
Yes ticket prices are too high for low earners across the country, but can't be bothered with my usual political rant. I'm not sure a documentary would uncover anything particularly interesting or new though - sorry.
Obviously prices in the Premiership are the most disgusting - and the way many clubs "hoik" up prices as soon as they get up there.

Thanks for the response, One of the main parts of the interview was to get an interview with the football supporters federation, and talk about what campaigns they have running to try and get the prices down. I'm not sure whether this would make it a little more interesting to watch or not. Tis for my final major project at college, have a few other ideas in mind, including the local homeless housing agency. |

Okay, very briefly I don't see clubs offering discount tickets for those who can't afford to attend otherwise. It would take extensive research to find out how much prices would have to drop before armchair fans all over the country would get off their arses and into the stadia. I might watch it, but you're really looking at a Cook Report type audience aren't you? Good luck Homelessness throws up some interesting issues but I'm off for my bus!  |

YES

I DON'T REALLY SEE THE POINT
Would you be interested in watching it? If no, why not?
YEAH, WHY NOT, EH?
Can you think of any clubs in particular whose prices are steep for what they are getting?
ANY PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB, REALLY. £40 ODD IS JUST STUPID
Can you think of any clubs in particular who have a good ticket pricing scheme with value for money for the fans?
SIMPLE TERMS, NO.

Yes.

It'd have to carry a lot of new info for it to be a worthwhile effort - but if there was something new to be presented, it'd be worth considering, at least.
Would you be interested in watching it? If no, why not?
I wouldn't go out of my way to see it - but then I hardly watch TV at all now. Mixture of not having enough time and nothing catching my interest!
Can you think of any clubs in particular whose prices are steep for what they are getting?
Anyone in the Premiership for a start. Luton's in recent years have been bad too - prices have gone up each time we've gone up, but haven't gone back down when we have. I hear Leeds' could be better too, though I don't know that from experience.
Exeter (I think) have some of the most expensive season tickets in the country, despite their league status. This, though, is because the fans all own the club collectively - they're willing to pay vast amounts extra, seeing it as a 'donation' to the club for that season.
Can you think of any clubs in particular who have a good ticket pricing scheme with value for money for the fans?
Don't know about individual match-day tickets, but I believe Bradford's season tickets are somewhere in the £100-£150 ballpark? That'd need double-checking, but I know they're ridiculously cheap.

if you want to reduce ticket prices then you have to start with players wages, this would be a much more interesting way to attack the issue and would make for an interesting documentary

Colchester United's prices are a rip off. They've got a shit hole stadium, yet there prices are way more expensive than Norwich, who have kids for £1 etc, and is must more reasonable. Norwich who also were recently in the Prem compared to Col Utd who were in League 1. |
