Ticket prices

Someone just told me about this.

£34/£35 for a midweek trek up north in January?

I'd be interested to know what they charge their own fans, because that's extortionate.

No no no, you have it all wrong.... They pay you to go there...

Looks like a normal away ticket price to me.

I dunno what to do.....direct train there and back or a B & B I've used before there where they only charge me £15 and make a night of it

It's definitely more than Stoke & Birmingham charged this year, and definitely more thatn Wigan, Bolton & Blackburn.

It's around 30.00 for away supporters....

£34 - £35 (see link)

you get to see dj campbell though.

I suppose bigger the team up in the Premiership the higher the charge and legally it can be done (for the moment), Man Utd supporters going to Bloomfield road are gonna pay £39.00 and they will pay it and seats will be filled.... Besides you don't just get a footie match you get a visit to the UK's premier seaside resort as well

They aren't allowed to charge more than they would charge home supporters for corresponding seats. The only leeway is if it's designated Cat A or B. That's why prices are so low at Wigan, Blackburn etc.

I only think that the same price for fans occurs if in a similar location, I have asked a friend who is a life time fan of BFC (thats an understatement by the way lol) to see if she can put some light on this. I heard Chelsea charge up to £50.00 a game...

Arsenal charge up to £100 per ticket. But on the other hand, when we went to the Emirates for the West Ham game in October, tickets were £33.
I suppose the real question is, what do Blackpool fans pay for equivalent seats? I tried to look on their website but it requires registration so I didn't bother.

Away at everton is £34 too, interestingly my cousin who supports Leicester said he's off to away at Man City and the tickets are only £15

Doesn't look over the top to me - certainly not 'extortionate'.

£24 this season. I'm sure it was about £20 last season.

My friend replied she is a season ticked holder at BFC, but said most clubs charge Away fans more for the tickets then home fans.

Not true, and against Premier League rules.

either way football is still way too expensive for home and away fans

I paid £24 a couple of seasons ago when I went to Birmingham.

I may of misread what she means, and I quote her "I'm a season ticket holders so not too positive but I think they vary dependant who we play as that's what everyone else does honey, away fan would get there tickets through there own club shop also, only home tickets from BFC." Sean has kind of explained and I think I know what he means now.

I will see if I can another friend to let me know the cost of a match ticket.
