Title: FA Cup v Scunthorpe
Post by: The Red Baron on November 15, 2017, 12:40:32 pm
Date not yet confirmed. Likely to be on Saturday 2nd December but BBC have still to confirm all of their Sunday afternoon matches. They have confirmed four so far.

£15 is perfectly reasonable for an FA Cup game against a League One side.

£15 is a rip-off.

If one club charges it and gets away with it, others quickly follow suit and it's been going on for donkeys years. After a point, that sort of pricing becomes the norm and it becomes more acceptable as people begin to expect it.

The Check a Chegwin trophy games at £10 a go were expensive enough considering the product on offer.

£15 to watch two third tier teams, local rivals at that, in the FA Cup is not a rip off. Not at all.

The Checkatrade is a different story. I wouldn't pay 10p to go and watch that shambles anymore, let alone 10 pounds.

I believe in the £20 Plenty campaign by the FSF.

League matches are the bread and butter. Cup games, unless you get a novel away tie early on or progress through to the later rounds and get a plum tie, aren't that glamorous.

It should be £10 and £5, but if clubs can get away with charging more then they'll always do it.

I would have expected the full price for a tie that should get a decent gate so £15 is more than fair.

++++++++++ Donnywolf in repeat gripe shocker +++++++++++
If you are a Scunny Fan aged 60 or 60 and a Day you get to watch the Game at The Keepmoat for £10

If there is a Replay and you are a Rovers Fan you could be 64 and 364 days and you will be paying £15 because you are not yet a concession in their book

This happens a lot and your only comfort is that if you are 60 plus you benefit from Rovers generous stance on Concessions for Home Tickets and especially Season Tickets.

Good evening. I’ll be at the Scunny game thanks. Not as many will be had it been a tenner. Like the majority of our cup games have been at this stage. Unfortunately we don’t have Leeds to fill our ground for us when we charged £15 for an early cup round tie.

Hull this season £10?

When I said 3k I thought we were on tv. We’ll get 4K in

The campaign is for £20 in the Premier League, and pro-rata for other divisions.

£15 is still a lot of money for a game of football, it's just that English football fans have become desensitised to the cost and are prepared, through habit, to pay more.

True, but in today's world (not just with football tickets but tickets to anything), I don't think £15 is unreasonable for a game featuring two sides at this level. Anne seems to be putting this game on the same level as a League Cup game against a Championship's reserves, or the Checkatrade which isn't even senior football really, when this is the FA Cup and a game between two local rivals who will play strong sides.

It is about time something is done about the rising costs of attending football but this is a more specific complaint in this thread. In "The Price of Football" topic there's a lot of good points being made too about the wider issue but I was specifically referring to Anne's complaints in here. I don't think it's fair to criticise the club for charging £15 for this game as I believe it to be a fair price.

I went to watch Millwall at Hillsborough a couple of weeks ago. It was classed as something like a catagory D or E match and was still thirty quid to get in on a cold Tuesday night. Now that is a rip off!
Title: Re: FA Cup v Scunthorpe
Post by: silent majority on November 17, 2017, 11:16:36 am
RA,

Its only a fair price in comparison to other clubs and ticket prices for a standard LG1 game. And lets not forget that season ticket pricing lowers the price considerably so the actual difference is far less than a first glance. However the general point is that football is too expensive across all divisions. The £20's Plenty campaign is showing considerable gains with all EPL games fixed at £30 for away supporters, and £20 for away supporters at Southampton. We all know the reasons how they can afford to do it but it does highlight how particularly obscene ticket prices are at Elland Road and Hillsborough. Even Ipswich who have traditionally been an expensive club to visit have capitulated and dropped there's to £20 for this season.

I caught a brief article on the BBC last night where they interviewed supporters and asked them their opinion. A SWFC fan felt it was reasonable that his club charged what they did because they were investing in the team and hoped to get into the EPL. No, its not!! What about those youngsters who will never get to see live football because of the insane pricing that they have in place? Or the unemployed? This game isn't for the rich or well off, its for everybody.
Title: Re: FA Cup v Scunthorpe
Post by: RoversAlias on November 17, 2017, 11:46:31 am
Yep, again I said I agree with the wider issue but will defend the club against criticism of someone claiming this particular match price is a rip-off when it's not.

Obviously Wednesday are among the worst in the country for overcharging, the match day prices at some Championship clubs is obscene.
Title: Re: FA Cup v Scunthorpe

Wednesday and Leeds supporters enjoy paying higher prices because it helps them to make believe they are PL clubs.

I'm rather hoping we see the league as more important as well. Maybe give one or two a rest and bring in a couple who have not been playing regularly. I'd much sooner us pick up say 6 points from the three league games before then and get beat in the cup

Well yes, I'd like us to get 9 points from three next 3  games and beat Scunthorpe in the cup, but it's not going to happen is it?
The league is far more important than the cup. If we were only to pick up 2 or 3 points from the next 3 league games we'd probably be right up shite creek without the proverbial. And then what?? Draw Man Utd away in the third round and see our form nosedive like it did when we got Arsenal in the League Cup?
Nope, let's play the strongest team we can in the league and rest a few in the cup
