I don't think we'd get more than 35k with £50 tickets for a Conference game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Closed in London now but you can still get tickets in Rome for about €35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be some sort of common sense approach taken - but the club are currently trying to sell £1,560 season tickets in the Holte End, so I wouldn't make any assumptions.

And the thing is, they will sell them too.

Brumstopdogs Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 On the match categories there were only two last season aswell so that hasn't changed. They've basically included Newcastle as category A now (Leicester were category A last season) and obviously put the prices up too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the match categories don't really bother me, we've always had them. It's the prices that may make folks think twice, the fence sitters, the ones undecided about what to do with what they have available.

That's at Zone 2 with us dropping out of the Conference league at the group phase - a couple of cup runs could add another £300 to that. That’s literally me, but with 2 kids tickets for half of those games as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 So last season I was paying £54.50 for a Cat A game in zone 2. What’s the price for that area now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones wanting something to amuse the missus or kids on weekend I think the category B ticket prices (11 home games) are OK so likely will try to get to more category B games. I think the category A prices will certainly put some people off going unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't do too badly wage wise, compared to the UK average. There is no way I could afford to do this. Doesn't include travel, which for me is from London so adds a bit more to it, but even without travel, it prices me out of contention for a majority of games. £60 a pop a game will be tough as it is, but I didn't get down at all last season so will be desperate to go more this year (though, with how last year turned out...maybe I should stay away) For the average local fan these prices must be tough to take, even though we know it has to be this way, doesn't make it easier to deal with as costs for everything rise and wages fail to rise in tandem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) £45 a pop to watch Silkeborg in the conference in front of 23, 000 fans at -2 on a Thursday night. Nah you're alright mate. Club is really in for a rude awakening when they realise we're a Birmingham club with fickle fans and not London wages.
