😱 😱 Bloody hell fire!!!
I paid my first visit to deepdale last night since the play off semi final defeat to leeds in may and nearly fell over when i was told the price of a ticket for the akte
Last season it was 17 quid but this season it has hiked up to 22 quid.....the price increase has gone a long way to explaining to me the mystery of the stay away fans this season
A 40 per cent increase in prices,gawd.....were did they find the justification for that😕
As it was i got a ticket outside for 10 quid

Even though i think you are having a winge over this i do understand where u r comin from. look at the luton game the other week i think all we got on was around 13000 if that!! where as 4 days earlier on tue night we got nearly 17000 against leeds. i know the leeds game is more prestigious and leeds brought about 2000 fans with them. but i really do hope that the 2000 northenders that didnt turn up to the luton game was because they couldnt afford it. because im sick of the micky mouse fans that come on the big games dont make any noise and keep their arses on the seat all through the game!!!

I know we need to attract bigger crowds to deepdale and wat better way to advertise wat the stay aways are missing than thrashing leeds in front of one of the biggest gates we will get this season!! £20 to watch the league leaders, thats a bargain on the grand scale of things!!


just think u could be paying a lot more to watch a dwarf manage a team full of preston rejects at the bottom of the league

Re: 'ow much???

The fact remains the price keeps people away, wether you consider it cheap or not. I agree the hike was too steep and what gives them the right to hike it another couple of quid on a Saturday? I`ve said it before, the club takes it`s hard core support for granted and does precious little to encourage new fans to come on. The ticket office and especially the catering are shocking, but that`s been done to death elsewhere. 😡

He may well be a dwarf but please stick to the truth we are not full of Preston players, we are only one point behind you and we still get well over 20,000 (over 22,500 on a wed night, over 28,000 last sat), happy days down here.

I am presuming that kopking refers to Leeds who are very much managed by a dwarf, near bottom of the league and expensive to watch 🙂 .

Stumpy seems to have installed some form of vicitimisation complex into you if you think that relates to Derby. There is little doubt that Derby get good crowds and are doing very well at the moment 🙂

If the referral was about Leeds I apologise and would also say we play Leeds last game of the season and it would so great to send them down where the likes of their manager, chairman and the whole of Leeds belong.😉

Advance booking discount - fans prepared to commit before the day get a dicsount.

also, which clubs in the championship have lower admission prices than PNE?

What do you want the club to do? Charge less and pay the players less?

Soccer in england is in danger of pricing itself out of the market.....i was at 4 champions league matches in athens a few weeks ago(2 involving olympiakos and 2 involving aek athens)and paid between 15 euro and 25 euro and that was for face value prices yet here we are talking about 22 quid just to see championship football

Greek football is a pile of shite compared to the British game. They don't have the wage bills and overheads that we have hence why it is so cheap. Yoga it is simply a business desicion and not a vendetta against the fans by DS.
 
Re: 'ow much???

Cost is always a debatable topic. £20 is a fair price over and above that and people get itchy feet.

What i'd like to see from PNE are 'ticket deals' such as a 'fantastic four', 'super six' deals etc. The season ticket/half season ticket deals are great for those with a lump sum available, the advanced booking discount is good for those who buy as and when they can (like me). However if we want to get fans through the turnstiles and to come back time and time again why not try and entice them with a 'small' multiple ticket' book? I think a discounted block booking of, as described above 4 or 6 games would be advantageous and appealing to some fans, I'd certainly consider it. It could even be an affordable Christmas present for some folk!
 
Re: 'ow much???

I am sorry, but football has not become too expensive overnight, it has been steadily increasing in price for years, I mean yes its two quid a game extra this year, but whats that over a season if you didn't own a season ticket? 20 pints? 10 packs of fags? I dont care what people say, they are not been priced out, they are choosing to spend their money on other leisure pursuits. Yes there are those who I sympathise with who have kids, mortgages etc etc thats different, but how many people choose not to go on a Saturday yet go round town drinking at the weekend? Wolves away was a perfect example, how many people didnt go but chose to get up town at half 5, drink to the earaly hours and spend more in town then they would have if they had gone to Molineux? I know at least 5-10 people who did this, and I should imagine there are many more who did the same.

I am not having a go, football is expensive, but so is smoking, drinking, driving a car, going on holiday, but people still continue to do it don't they?

Re: 'ow much???

That's the problem with this country thesedays, most people expect to do everything, without making any sacrifices.

I would willingly pay £22 per home game, if I didn't have a seasonticket. What it would mean, is that I would forgo a few pints before the game, have some lunch at home and take the car.

The prices in real terms are probably no different compared to about 20 years ago anyway. I used to spend the majority of my limited earnings on following PNE and going out etc.

Nowadays I have a mortgage to maintain and kids to support etc so I have to get my priorities right, and keep costs down.

I do not go to many away games these days, and choose to invest in a season ticket which at £315 for 23 games is a cost of £13.70 per game. Maybe that's were a lot are going wrong.

The problem with some folk is that they want to have the best, but will not pay the going price. It's not just football either.

Rant over.

Thats a pretty good price then(13 quid)for those who go to every home game
Wish i could get to every game.....perhaps i should buy my own private jet on ebay🙄
 
Re: 'ow much???

Next season will be interesting if we do go up, I mean how many people will all of sudden be able to afford to go on if we are in the Premiership?

Very good point, I know someone who claims to be a PNE fan but hasn't been on once this season and states that he will be first in the queue as soon as we get to the Prem.

Not a proper fan IMHO.

the break-even point is 16 games booking in advance for each game (£320) or 15 games rolling up on the day. (£330)

Plus of course the freebies and discounts.

Given the convenience of a ticket, guaranteed ticket for big games and a consistent seat, I'd reckon it worth it for someone attending anything over half the home games.

£13 a ticker btw is ridiculously low, i paid £12 a ticket last season. Crazy economics!
