AWAY TICKET PRICE DEBATE

[Ralphie Boy]

Is it just me or is anyone else confused as to why supporters are trying to get cheaper fixed prices for away fans?

I cant for the life of me think why supporters should expect to pay less than the home supporters to watch the same game?

I am all in favour of ensuring away supporters are not being ripped off by the home club with inflated pricing but fail to see how we can justify pricing a ticket in the Bullens Road cheaper than the home supporters who have paid full price?

Or am i missing something?

Is it fans whose home prices are significantly cheaper maybe? A ticket at say Sunderland or Burnley would probably a lot cheaper than Arsenal or Chelsea?

It's a great idea and is one reciprocated across the league iirc

The seats have to be reserved for the away supporters anyway, maybe people are just trying to ensure that they take up their allocation...

This really.

Away supporters make a big contribution to the atmosphere at matches, anything that can be done to encourage more teams to take up their allocation is a good thing. If that means they sometimes end up paying less than the home fans then so be it.

If it's done universally then we'll end up paying less for our away seats too. Swings and roundabouts.

Think you'd end up with home supporters trying to get away tickets.
I like the idea of the away fans paying what they do for their own home games though. We don't all live in Larndarn and earn a higher wage to justify higher ticket prices.
