Title: Mansfield away
Post by: Padge_DRFC on July 18, 2025, 11:46:02 pm
£30 for adults. £26 seniors £20 kids.

They've just announced their prices. Their forum and fans are not happy.

We will be charged this. Apparently now the most expensive ticket in league 1

You can get an adult and an under 14 ticket for £30 together,but £30 is a rip off ,£26 for 65 year olds

We should reciprocate when they come to us.
I suppose they have to pay for their ground renovations.

No.  Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Don’t we have to charge the same prices as the equivalent home sections anyway.?

Saw this yesterday and had to double check to make sure home tickets were the same. For a club like Mansfield to charge £30 is ridiculous, it's maybe something we expect from bigger city clubs, but not one of similar stature to us.

You have to charge them the same as home fans in a similar stand with the same view unfortunately. When the South Stand used to be very cheap in our early Championship days away fans were paying less than most of our home fans due to this.
I think that you are, or were alllowed a couple of games a season where you can lower home prices as a special offer. That might get round it but it isn’t the fault of their fans that their board are over charging.

Supply and demand at Mansfield. Small capacity and very few tickets on general sale. This means they can charge a few quid more and get away with it.

But they have to charge home fans the same.?  That’s going to put the occasional attendees off isn’t it.

I would certainly think twice about my 5 or 6 visits to the KM each season if we charged £30 in the third division!

A family ticket is an adult plus a junior under 18 for £30. I bet they don’t offer this to away fans

Nail on head above I said same thing on FB. Their ground holds what 8000 even with the 700 extra seats they've put in. Probably the only debate was pissing their own fans off.
