QPR ticket prices

Matt Damon · May 25, 2011

The cheapest price for a league match at Loftus Road will be £47, with season tickets up by almost 40%.

But with five fewer home games in the top flight, the increase is around 67% in real terms.

COMPLETE DISGRACE.

Who do they think they are Barcelona ?

£47 !!! The great LONDON RIP OFF.

But we've been in the 'bigtime' since before the war and we don't charge that much.

Yes, but they have to make hay while the sun shines and being a london club screwing the fans is usually the easiest option.

How do they compare to the "other" London clubs? i.e. Spuds/ Arse?

Some figures I googled. Season Tickets: most expensive seats.

Arsenal, £1,825 ($2,911)
Tottenham, £1,695 ($2,704)
Chelsea, £1,210 ($1,930)
QPR £999 ($1,625)
Newcastle, £975 ($1,555)
Man United, £931 ($1,485)
Fulham, £899 ($1,434)
West Ham, £850 ($1,356)
Liverpool, £785 ($1,252)
Everton £631 ($1,026)
Blackburn £399 ($649)

CBA to do any more clubs than that, really. It gets the point across.

So not to "unbelievable" that they hike the prices...

Still he's right that for a newly promoted side to charge more than Man U do is a bit off.

If they were closer to what West ham and Fulham charge, it'd be a bit more reasonable. But yeah it's not too bad for a london club. I'm glad we're based up in the north west, really.

I agree with that..

If the Fans will pay that it can only help QPR's chances to stay up, so you have to look at the positives I guess..

On a side note:

I really like QPR's name.. Sounds Military. . I can see a soft spot developing for these.

TheFinnFan · May 25, 2011

could be interesting thread: soft spots!

I understand that Amit Bhatia (Lakshmi Mittal's son-in-law) has resigned from the QPR board in protest at the hike in season ticket prices. He also stated that Mittals attempt to seize control of the club has been re-buffed by Briatori/Ecclestone.

Er Lakshmi lad....We're for sale (allegedly). Cut your losses and come north you belter
