There's probably a thread on this but I'm finally able to take my kid to see his first everton game against Leicester (we live abroad now). 2 adult and 1 kids ticket for the upper bullens sent me back £120. The equivalent tickets to see my local team in Ligue 1 would be £45 for all 3, less than the cost of one adult ticket in the UBs, and I can tell you the atmosphere is way better even if the standard is probably top end of Championship. In any case, this is mini rant. Even if everton have some of the lowest prices it's still stupidly expensive.

And I know it's cheaper in the Gwladys etc but he's only just starting to get into watching games live and behind the goal isn't great for a kid

We'd better effing win
 

It's even cheaper in Germany isn't it ?

The German league puts ours to shame to be honest, with atmosphere and ticket prices.

Supply and demand mate, we're getting full houses at those prices so unfortunately they will remain high, if and when we move to our new stadium I hope it is 60,000 and then they could restructure the prices to make it more affordable in order to fill it to capacity.

Notice any correlation between the cheaper prices and the better atmosphere? Gee, it's almost like people are far more willing to be supportive no matter what the circumstances so long as they aren't being completely ripped off and treated like total morons......

Indeed. Prices in the PL (and probably the championship) were allowed to spiral and spiral. Clubs could well afford to cut every adult ticket to £30 or less and kids at £10 for every match. Example, lets say at the average price of £42 per adult ticket x 19 home games x 40,000 = around £32m revenues. at £30 a ticket, its around £23m. At £25 a ticket it's £19m. Hardly a significant amount in todays world. Less than 1 Niasse in fact. And, the difference in revenues would be less than what I calculated once you account for season tickets.

Absolutely crazy isn't it mate ticket prices. I tend to just take my lad to the cup games when there is an adult/child deal on. When you factor in my lad like the £40.00 hotdog with a £60.00 bottle of Oasis it can be an expensive couple of hours
 
Probably not the right place for this but, my other half contacted the box office today to try and upgrade my son's season ticket for Monday as it's a night game, so my father in law can go instead. They told him due to the Xmas offer, not only can he upgrade a kids ticket to an adult, he could do it for free. They issued him an upgrade voucher to show with my lads season ticket. Very decent of them.
 
When I started going my dad used to lift me over the turnstile and get me in for free!! (This was the early seventies, no Health & Safety!). Then when he started paying for me I think it was either 50p or £1 to get in. I remember just before the all seater stadia came in, we used to go in the paddock standing area on Bullens Road and it was £5, so that would have been 1988. So by my calculations it should be £12.74 in the paddock now lol
 
I just hope they come to an agreement that sees the £30 away tickets not be abolished at the end of the season.

If anything, it should be lowered, but still!
 

More bad press about ticket prices in the Echo today and Stubhub holding (fairly) to their market-forces stance - this is their business model, people don't have to use it (for any tickets). However, as the club's "official partner", the club needs to do more. Stubhub is not the only option for resale. I've sold tickets for concerts that I couldn't go to on TicketSwap, which forbids tickets to be sold at more than face value + booking fee and only takes a small commission from seller/buyer. I actually think fans groups should pressure clubs / PL to only use these type of resale sites.
