Im more annoyed by the price of concerts these days. They think nothing of £120 for 2 hours of the main artist.
Why would football be different?

I remember going to Millwall this season and the tickets were 25 quid ? 26 quid ?
I don't see why a championship game in Coventry should cost 50 per cent more than the same game in London?
Except, greed .

Is that not because the likes of Spotify etc. have royally fucked the artists so they make their money on tours I go lots of gigs and rarely pay more than £30 quid a ticket. There's still some great value for money out there and some great live bands who go under the radar.

Wish the club would subsidise the prices instead of free coach travel. Every supporter would feel the benefit, not just the people who use the free coach.

Not for me, I only use the free coach travel so I can afford away games. If the club pulled the free travel I wouldn't be able to go to many away games. For instance Boro away is costing me £30. If the club paid for the ticket in full I'd still be way out of pocket. Fuel and parking would cost £50 minimum.

Not all supporters get the benefit of free coaches if they paid say £10 towards a ticket everyone would benefit which is how it should be.

I’ve used them all mate train, free coach and even your coach on many occasions ( you do a great trip 👍) But the free coaches are better than subsidised tickets as people have a choice of which one they use I prefer the train or your coach given a choice but have no problem with the clubs free travel offer

£37 +£1 booking fee!! I hope our club are charging the cunts the same...shocking..whatever happened to the"working mans game??" So your logic would be to financially harm other football supporters to make things “equal”? Sorry but I’d prefer an alternative approach which (if possible) would be beneficial to all supporters who enjoy following their team at home and away matches. How about reciprocal pricing arrangements between clubs? Those clubs who don’t want to “play ball” and reciprocate with fair pricing should be ignored by those who would normally travel to away games. I wonder how long it would take such clubs to come to the negotiating table. Pure fantasy? Without making a visible gesture nothing will change. An old saying, please think about it. Never Have The Desire To Aquire Supporters who are either unwilling to pay exorbitant costs, can’t afford to pay such or feel strong enough about the subject can initially contact the FSA or SCFC to raise genuine concerns.

Im more annoyed by the price of concerts these days. They think nothing of £120 for 2 hours of the main artist. Why would football be different? Somewhat off the topic! In 1971 Glastonbury fair was a free event run over the summer solstice. It was planned by Andrew Kerr, Bill Harkin and Arabella Churchill. Arabella, granddaughter of Sir Winston Churchill went on to set up and run the Theatre events and founded the Charity ‘Children’s World.’ Andrew and Arabella were described as ‘Upper Crust Hippies,’ they changed the name of the festival to ‘Glastonbury Fair’. Andrew was said to have sold his father’s collection of antique shotguns to fund the event. This was the year the first Pyramid Stage was built from scaffolding covered with expanding metal and plastic sheeting. Bill Harkin conceived the idea of building the stage as a one-tenth replica shape of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Pyramid Stage was built on a Ley line which was identified by dowsing. 12,000 festival-goers attended performances by David Bowie, Hawkwind, Traffic, Flash Gordon, Fairport Convention, Mighty Baby, Gong, Skin Alley, The Worthy Farm Windfuckers, Melanie, Brinsley Schwarz and Edgar Broughton Band. This years Glastonbury tickets...355 quid plus 5 quid booking fee . That is some price increase ... from free to 360 quid That said the concert is now for the benefit of people who think nothing of spending 60 to 80 K on a new VW camper van for the odd trip here and there. Ordinary folk earning ordinary wages are no longer welcome. Really hope football can avoid going the same way.

They charge it because people are dumb enough to pay it. If it was £50 people would still pay it.

Mike Ashley owns the stadium
So to be fair
As a club they are likely being ripped off on paying rent to that tosser

It is of course an outrageous price, but the "c***s as you so charmingly call them who decided this wouldn't be paying £37 at Stoke and even if they were, they could afford it. The people who would suffer would be our fellow fans in Coventry, who are already campaigning against their club's pricing policy. Taking the action you propose would just bring Stoke City down to their level, and do nothing to alter Coventry's policy. In fact it would do the reverse because it would help to normalise that pricing level. This is one of the (many) reasons why we need the new football regulator which will be in the King's speech. The root cause of this problem is the maldistribution of income in the game and the failure of the PL to distribute enough of its eye watering income to the pyramid.

There is enough money slewing around in football to make ticket pricing almost irrelevant from a club income point of view, thus "£20's plenty" still has relevance

I hope we don’t charge the same tbh.
That’s really not the attitude to take.
Or make it so the fans pay the same price as our fans in equivalent seats and Coventry have to pay the rest or something.
The fans shouldn’t be punished for their club being cunts.

I believe we charge a maximum £25 for away supporters. Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. I understand Leeds charge £47 but are willing to enter into reciprocal pricing arrangements with other clubs, perhaps Malcom can confirm this.

Me and my kids missed just two away games last year and the club coaches are a God send. These Coventry prices though may finally have broken me. I take my two kids and often a friend of the family whose folks couldnt afford to pay for him . So for three kids its £78,mine will be £38. When you consider food and drink on top of that its £150, but even if we spend nothing in the ground I may still cop for a taxi home as I dont have access to a car- so its £150-180 depending how I cut it. If we didnt have the free coaches I couldnt even consider it, but the prices for children here are so bad for Coventry I may choose not to pay it- that will be a sad day because following the club is built into the family DNA
Is there any chance of an organised boycott of this game to make a point?

Owdestokie we charge away fans £30, £25 or £20 depending on the category of the opposition. (plus whatever booking fee the club they are buying the tickets from charge.) More information can be found here; www.stokecityfc.com/tickets/matchday-tickets/I still think that’s too expensive but compared to some of the prices we’ve had to put up with this season it’s not too bad. I know it doesn’t rhyme but £25 is plenty!
