Don't be ridiculous. I cannot remember the last time I went to see this cup (probably Old Trafford) and I will be paying £30
I think that would come out at £17.35 for u18, and £9.64 for an u14.

That’s your choice. It’s no different to away games either. You don’t have to pay for things like food, a programme or potentially parking.
Some people will look at as an opportunity to see class players. I don’t think it’ll be Spurs reserves at all, we’re a potential banana skin and shown last season we can beat Prem teams.
In your mind, what should the ticket prices be in your view?

Which if you are a season ticket holder its what it should be

Don't get this, you don't have to buy food for everybody and can park somewhere cheap.
Getting food and drinks for 4 is going to be more than the cost of a ticket.

If people are paying it anyway he should have just charged £50
It feels about right, but I would assume it's also a strategic decision to sell large proportion of adult priced tickets for the fixture.

That’s not how it works, cup games are never priced in proportion to their ST value. The club probably lost money with the low attendance v Oxford (all stands open and low turn out) and needs to recoup that.
We’re paying £35 for away tickets to Watford and Bristol, of course a cup draw v a Top 6 team will be priced as a Cat 1 game.
I think what he's saying is charge ST holders 37, and then the kids prices are the same proportion as they would be to adult ST prices. So for you and your 2 kids, it would come to £64.

Absolutely because in 1926 if you take in to consideration inflation and were paying a big 6 team who charge 2 gazillion for STs it's fair

Should introduce surge pricing. If there is a queue getting on Ticketmaster then it doubles

It should proportionately match the season ticket pricing - Its beyond stupid not to.

The issue goes round and round. Fans disagree with price, but will still buy.
Just to see us play Spurs reserves. Feels a bit like charging full whack for a checkatrade trophy game. Or whatever they call it now.

Tottenham won’t be playing their reserves…

All you have to do is look at the responses of away fans to our cat A and b kids pricing on social media to understand that we charge too much for kids .

Which is a spit in the eye of those who have committed to season tickets with families. Having one off attendees by pricing out committed customers is no way to go - its bonkers

It's not my choice, it's not my family dynamic or for me. Life is about choices, I'm explaining why I think the pricing is wrong and the cost choice that families will have to make and why therefore, I dont believe we'll sell out. I hope I'm wrong, but I'd wager I'm not. I already said higher up my prices on the tickets and I'd make kids a tenner.

It’ll be significantly weakened. Happy for you to quote me on the night if I’m wrong but with these fixtures…
That's the crux of it, your pissing off some of your fan base (parents). But does it actually matter from the owners point of view, when they're almost certain to continue buying anyway.

Well I'd be able to go to 1 or 2 at most .. ridiculous.Those Villa Champions league ticket prices
Do I live in a parallel world to everyone else when it comes to money these days
I'm sure some on here would find a way to congratulate the energy companies on screwing us more this winter too
Fucking hell. Calm down. There's clearly a difference between going to the football, and your family freezing to death in their own home.

Why are people talking about spurs playing their reserves?
They’ll undoubtedly play a weaker team than in the league but it will still be a very good side. And as the perennial losers that they are this competition is probably their best chance of a trophy.
If we win will you not care because it was “only spurs reserves”?
Tommo1993

Not at all. A win is a win. This is entirely about prices.

Of course it matters. What organisation alienates its customer base over anything let alone something that will actually not even maximise sales anyway. Its just stupid and ill thought out. It is basically saying a child season ticket holder is worthless if there is money to be creamed off somewhere else - I think King has done some good but his commercial management looks very amateurish at times

Agreed. Think they'll play as strong a team as possible but they'll have to keep an eye on the fixtures taking place around this one.

If we sell out I don't want to hear "Doug got it right after all"
It means he's under priced it.
It means he's under priced it.
Surely the answer to that is most organisations in the football industry? Just look at the prices of shirts these days.

What are concession prices in this round in other games then?

If we charged Bradford season ticket prices when we were in League 2, we would still have had lower crowds than they did.
