Why can't the club get involved and ask them to review their prices given the current economic climate.

Is this due to rental situation as not quite sure what they own these days and if renting the stadium still?

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! The £25 charge that I quoted was confirmed by a club official. I assume that amount (if correct) would be very completive within the Championship. If the match is a category B then yup it will be £25 and just on the boundary of being acceptable for me! Looking at the Sunderland, Leeds and Cardiff matches coming up at home they are all category B games, so maybe at the moment the club aren’t looking to use the categories A or C as I would have thought Leeds would have been a shoe in for category A (despite it being a night match.) |

£37 +£1 booking fee!! I hope our club are charging the cunts the same...shocking..whatever happened to the"working mans game??" 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. Perhaps we could have higher pricing for their supporters who are actually cunts - I'm sure there must be some. Then normal pricing for their decent fans. If we adopted this for the Birmingham game we'd make a killing. |

I can usually identify a cunt purely on what they're wearing, sure a few will slip the net but I'm happy to help. |

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? We have ourselves to blame for extortionate live concert prices because of our demand for cheap or even free streamed music. Back in the day an artist would receive between 10% and 20% from each CD sale but of course these are old hat now with all the online streaming for which the streaming service like Spotify, Apple or Amazon will pay around .001p per stream. But the artist doesn’t get that as the producer/label get the majority and the artist will be lucky to see 30% of that. So live concerts have now become a major income for artists where as previously live gigs generally were to promote new albums and CDs. One artist, as an example, received just £3000 for 1.5 million streams of his new album. Compare that to how much he would have earned from 10% of 1.5 million CD sales at an average £8 per copy. About 12 years ago I went to see Rod Stewart at Home Park in Plymouth. A decent place ticket cost £37.50 and he was promoting his Soul Book album. This summer he came and a similar ticket would have cost £125. |

Malcolm..although I love the work you do for fans..suggesting its o.k for us to be overcharged making it impossable for famalies to travel but let letting cov to fill the stoke away end for a cheap away day just doesnt make sense. Must go to reciprical pricing!! |

A 37 quid ticket is fuck all compared to what you can throw away in the Casino downstairs  |

Must go to reciprical pricing!! I didn’t say it was ok, Rambo. I said precisely the reverse, that it’s outrageous. What I did say was that retaliation by putting up our prices for Coventry fans at Stoke, doesn’t affect those who took the decision and, worse, it is counterproductive because it helps to normalise prices at that level. |

Where does the FSF stand on higher pricing for cunts? It would be good to have a clear policy on this. |

I'd have been up for this as an awayday jaunt but they can tongue my crinkled fartbox if they think I'm shelling out that much.
Absolutely scandalous pricing for a wanky Champo fixture and I refuse to pay it on principle.

Absolutely scandalous pricing for a wanky Champo fixture and I refuse to pay it on principle. Same here matey. Nearly 70 quid for me and Grandson.I enjoy away games,even though more often than not we lose when I go but that's over the limit for me. |
