See they are over charging same as Crewe did.

£27 Adults  £23 Seniors.

Ridiculous. This is league 2  How can they justify those prices?
There really should be a cap for each division imo.

Surely there is a case here for DRFC to request some equality. Only charge the same as their fans have been charged at the KM.

I get that mate. At the shadow board we asked OUR club to contact all others in our division asking for a reciprocal deal. All REFUSED or didn’t respond. I believe the last team that took us up on the offer was Carlisle about 4/5 seasons ago. Apologies if I’ve got any part of this wrong.

That's what home fans pay every week in that stand at Swindon. And the one across from it.

Stick their lot on north east and charge them 27 quid next season. To abide by rules make our North west available for 27 quid where nobody sits.

I seem to recall that I could get away match and home cup tie tickets at seniors rates when I got to 60 a few years back.

Actually it did.

Twenty's Plenty was not a campaign about every ticket price. It started because EPL clubs were charging ridiculous sums of money to away fans, prices as high as £70 and £80 were pretty frequent.

Because of the TV money that EPL clubs were receiving it was a simple maths equation that showed they didn't need to charge that price if they banked on filling the away end at every EPL club and settled for a lower figure. Eventually they agreed and a level was set as a maximum of £30 for away games, they could charge less if they wished.

Twentys Plenty was not about the prices at EFL level although umpteen attempts were made to gather support for a campaign of that nature.

No doubt our club would be the first to back things like this

Don't like Leeds but it sounds like every club is to blame when it comes to their own fans getting charged a fortune. Well the ones that didn't agree to we'll charge you 20, you charge us 20.

Senior price for Swindon is actually £22 not £23 which i originally posted.
Still too high.
Personally I think in League 2 the cap should be £20 Adults and £15 Seniors.

No problem, raise our prices for away fans when they visit £ 2 more than they charge, just for their match.

That breaks EFL rules on ticket pricing, it'll never happen.

And if you think about it, it fly's in the face of what everybody wants to achieve, i.e. cheaper prices, not dearer ones.

Not going to this because of these ridiculous prices, fans should be boycotting. Weekend off for me!

That makes us as bad as them as well.
