Quote Munshkin="Munshkin"As an FC fan I find the away pricing shocking, but at the same time (and because I am an FC fan) I am forced to shrug it off, whilst offering suggestions.
I do have a quick question though in that, if the price difference was closer would the anger be less? I could be wrong, as a season pass holder I'm not sure, but I believe that the home end last season was charged at £22 walk up. So the price difference is less, pre-bought only a pound.
The increase in the North stand might partially be to offset the reduce in pricing for un-reserved home seating. Probably not, but there you go.
[size=50As a Rugby League fan I would suggest, as I started doing when I first saw the pricing structure, that away fans buy in advance in the home areas. Particularly in the Family sections (as a family group (2 adults, 2 juniors)). Chances are the stewards will move you to the away end anyway (at no extra charge, bonus). Sorry this was too late for your lot, it is on here somewhere else.[/size'"
I always buy our tickets in advance, it gives money to our club and it's normally cheaper, the reason being because you've commited to going even if turns out to be an horrendous day. The problem I have is that a pre purchased ticket in 2010 and 2011 cost me £19, it has rocketed by over 20% this season to £23. You don't need to be an economic genius to work out that the increase allied to spiralling fuel costs to get there leaves the average punter feeling well and truly ripped off when most folk are on their butts financially. Pearson is a prat, end of story.
