Four quid for a bottle of water and a Twix.

Pretty much concert pricing
I didn't see how much it was for a pie or sausage roll. I'll make double sure I am not caught out and need to get something to soothe emergency hunger this season.

I am sure that was about £6 something last season.

Ever get the feeling you're
A. Being taken for a mug
B. Being disrespected
C. Being priced out
D. All of the above
It's that money spinner called a captive audience. A business model coming to every element of life they can embed it in.
Airports, M-way services, entertainment events...do theme parks allow picnics in these days? They pass it off as Security or Health & Safety...oh - but them raking in the cash is just an unfortunate side effect.
...onwards & upwards PUSB

I always take food in to most places, always do at football unless I am in a mega rush and dont have time.

So what, is it any different from an earlier thread where people were taking the piss out of someone for moaning about a quid. It's only a bit more than before so what's the problem?
Funny thing is you're one of the first when someone has a stupid moan about something to do with the club

I was asking as I wasn't sure if it had or not. I thought about it at the time then I saw a post in another thread about it...
If I am not happy with the price I just won't buy it
It could well be down to the club wanting more profit making it go up...It was the first home game, so I asked. Simple really
Surely its down to the catering contractor Nick? Although the clubd 15% will rise accordingly, id rather eat before the game and always I partake of a couple of pints of Heineken in the casino pre match, nice cold pint and very much cheaper than the swill the contactors serve anyhowI was asking as I wasn't sure if it had or not.

Looking at that FAQ link about tickets that you posted on another thread Nick, you're not allowed to bring your own food and drink to Wasps games!

Never had an issue with city games to be fair. They look in the bag and that's it.

I went to the Test at Edgebaston. Ticket said no alcohol but on arrival bags where searched for cans of soft drinks as well. They didn't object to you taking in food and water....just as well when you are going to be sat there for seven hours.
On a positive note a pint was about £3.00 which I was surprised at, thought it was going to be more. Took my own food so can't comment on the food prices.

Why would you buy fish and chips in a football ground anyway? Or any other food for that matter. There are plenty of chippys near the ground.

These prices are exactly the reason why I very rarely buy anything inside the ground

Those bonds ain't gonna pay themselves Nick. You should know by now, it's all about the pie money my friend...all about the pie money.

Ubu is 3.70 now. Better value than the tea & coffee.

The tea and coffee are so awful that the caterers should pay you £2.50 to drink it.

Mad Goose is nice too. The only good thing Wasps have done.

Where abouts do they do mad goose? Only Ubu and gold at the purity bar near block 18. And yep that's gone up 20p a pint. But I still think it's good value for a real ale.
Agree with you about the food - can't understand those who habitually have to eat at the football. As for tickets and parking, particularly ticket prices, the option to 'not buy it' is to not go to the game at all, and we don't want people making that choice.
Yeah, food, drink, even replica shirt prices - I'm not that arsed. Ticket prices do bother me though. Gives the less committed another reason not to go.
