Is it just the clubs being greedy? Wouldn't it make more sense to drop the prices on all games and have a packed stadium every single game
the revenue from the difference is going to be...what...5 million pounds...at the most? That means nothing at a global stage, you can't even buy Demichelis with that much money.

Why doesn't England take a page out of the German book and lower the prices, especially with the lucrative TV deal...

Well why would they? Aren't most of the expensive priced stadiums full every game? Makes no financial sense if you're already filling stadiums to lower prices

Honestly, have no idea. Probably because they know mugs will still pay it.

Hopefully all the protests will have an effect.

I love live games, but when saving for a house going through the time and effort to get tickets for £40+ just to go sit out in the cold when I can easily watch it at home with a beer is just madness.

But saying that I still have tickets for the last home game of the season :thumbsup:

How do you have tickets for the last home game of the season?

That's not how it works.. At least with Newcastle.. Season ticket holders get thier allocated tickets, then club members get priority on leftovers, only then do they go on general sale. Even when this is the case you can only get tickets listed for the next 4-5 games max. Can't just phone up and say I want a ticket for the last game of the season.
