£36

[Padge_DRFC]

Confirmed. Leeds away on Rovers site. Is anyone else coming to the game with me?

[1879Rovers]

I'm going, fancy us to score five or six the way they are going. You wouldn't want to miss that would you.

[IDM]

I doubt it, not for £36.

NO

[MrFrost]

Barnsley still took plenty. Price didn;t bother their fans.

[1879Rovers]

I cannot understand the, it is too expensive philosophy. Transport costs are going to be minimal for this game with it being 30 miles down the road. Spend much more going to Yeovil where the tickets were £20 but a lot more for transport. This works out as one of the cheaper days out this season.

This. Like I said, it didn't put Barnsley fans taking a decent number, same as the price didn't put them off taking thousands to Wednesday while all we did was moan about it.

[IDM]

Don't forget not everyone lives in or near Doncaster.  It is more expensive for me to get to Leeds.

£36 is too much for this fixture, only £4 less than I paid at Wembley.  If it was a winner takes all game like Brentford, then maybe.  I couldn't afford to come tonight as well as last Saturday, with Forest away being a possibility for me - that match is £25.

[pib]

I won't be going. And if folk don't want to pay £36 for a bloody football ticket, then I don't see how anyone can blame them.

It's down to personal choice. I don't want to pay that much for one football match. If others do, then that's fine by me.

[andysly]

Because £36 is taking the piss, they've got themselves in the financial shit and try to milk away fans to support their club.
If it were £36 at Rovers you'd be playing hell, and not so long ago you were moaning at it being £23

[DonnyBazR0ver]

You can't judge people on what they are prepared to spend. Doesn't make them any more or any less of a fan. I applaud anyone who find the wherewithall to do it, but let's not be looking down on folk who may not be able to justify that sort of spend.

I live in Oxfordshire, The majority are Donny based and I was showing it as an example. Would the reaction be the same if Rovers did ever get into the Premier League and tickets are £40+ at most grounds?

I think many use the cost as an excuse. It is the only game every time it comes around that people moan about the pricing away.

People boycotted Wednesday because it was £28.

[Jenny]

Normally I wouldn't go, I've only been to one of the Rovers games at Elland Road. However, given that me & Andy can have a nice little stroll to the game, it probably works out as one of the cheapest games all season for us so no doubt we'll be there.

[bobjimwilly]

Twenty's plenty; £36 is plenty taking the p*ss. I applaud those who are dedicated enough to fork out, but clubs like Leeds need to learn they can't rip fans off forever.

[Padge_DRFC]

Hope we still have a fair few there, but looks like it's get on at Donny as a minority then for this fixture. Surrounded by the Donnywhite's attending their 2nd game of the season.

How many clubs at this level charge 20 quid?
Like someone has pointed out, if we ever get to the Premiership, I guess our away followings will be pretty much nil.

[scaley back rover]

£36 quid is steep but £18 for under 15s takes the piss so I will not be going as even though i can afford it , I wont be taken for a ride . Hats of to those who go i hope you enjoy the match and we win but also hats off to those who like me feel the same about being ripped off

[andysly]

Get yourself off to Elland road then, but don't moan on here about rovers prices again.

[Viking Don]

It's players wages that are a bit daft given the effort needed. What came first, the clubs or the players, or the agents?

[MrFrost]

I don't see anyone moaning about Rovers prices.

[scaley back rover]

i never have moaned about rovers prices in fact u will find i have applauded them in the past. Look at it this way , for the cost of tickets alne for me and my 4yo boy (who loves an away day) at leeds , we get to watch 4 rovers home games and still have change left over

[IDM]

Someone compared the high prices at Leeds to the low ones at Yeovil but with higher transport costs.  Don't forget there were free buses to Yeovil.

As for the Prem, you would expect higher prices as in theory the quality of football should be better.  Also, look at what has been done in the Prem this year, there have been loads of cases of clubs subsidising tickets, putting on free buses etc.  Folks would also pay more for the experience of visiting the "new" grounds sometimes, before the novelty wears off.

£36 at Leeds compared to £25 at Forest, it is just too much.  Even if I could afford the spare cash I would seriously think twice about going.  And if I remember correctly, the big hoo-ha about Wednesday prices was more to do with kids prices than adults.

[MrFrost]

My main point was, how it only seems to be our fans that make such a song and dance about it. I've used examples like Barnsley, slightly higher home crowds than us, travel in similar numbers, but don't decide they dont want to travel because the ticket price is costly.
Are they just more passionate supporters, willing to follow their team regardless?

I'm not sure it is.

[IDM]

I don't know Mr Frost.

What I do know, is in recent weeks my 10 game multi ticket I bought in August has run out, I got my ST for next season whilst I could afford it.  Now since then my other half is no longer earning, I am struggling to justify £23 for 2 home games in 4 days before an away fixture I would usually go to at £25, before another home game etc...Add the Leeds game and that's over £100 in 3 weeks, and even more if I bring family. 

What are Leeds doing that may tempt me to spend my small amount of spare cash at Elland Road rather than at the City Ground, or the KM?

Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying £36 is value for money to watch a game at this level, the last time we played there we took less than 500, i'm guessing it will be similar number this time. I use Barnsley as an example, being our nearest rivals, a similar sized town, simliar average wage.

[bpoolrover]

All clubs fans moan about the prices me frost it would be interesting to see how many more fans wud have gone had it been 25 not 36 quid
