    Looks like an extra 10% if COYS board is correct.
    Offset by 20% sterling drop for us!!:D

    I'd be a bit disappointed it that is the case Galinka (but not suprised).

    Finishing outside the top 10 league places and the fact that home fans have seen us win only 8 out of 18 league games this season at the Lane, does not warrant a 10% hike.

    Still thats 21st Century Professional Football for ya. I'm sure that spurs will not be unique in raising prices again. Have these f*ckers not heard that we're going into recession. :mad:

    Last season we were one of only four clubs to increase ST prices IIRC. Most froze theirs, a couple dropped their prices, and Everton gave one away with a One2One mobile phone contract...:D

    This year I believe Villa are set to raise theirs, I'd expect United to do the same. Chelsea have frozen theirs for the third year running (in effect a reduction considering inflation)

    Yet again we will buck the trend, and they will use the new stadium (when it's finally announced) plus the cost of last year's signings to justify it.

    Now the season's over (some might say it was in Feb...:D) they've seen fit to announce the increases, obviously didn't want to upset the sales of new kit or the last home game with angry punters.

    Mine is up an inflation-busting 9%.

    By their own calculations, this will net the club a whopping £1.5m, or about a £30k a week pay packet for one of the new signings.

    Could have got an extra 750k or 14k a week by finishing 10th - guess it is easier just to do the punter up the ARSE!!:rolleyes:

    Portsmouth top the list of clubs who have announced huge increases in admission charges. The FA Cup winners have put up the price of their season tickets for next season by 17.5 per cent.

    Most of their fellow Premier League clubs have also hoisted prices by more than twice the rate of inflation - currently running at three per cent - and they have done so despite reaping a record £1.7 billion from television deals last season. The average cost of a season ticket is now £590.

    Blackburn's prices have increased by 12.9 per cent, Tottenham's mid-priced season tickets are up by 10.7 per cent and even Wigan, hardly the best supported club in the division, have put prices up by 10 per cent.

    At the other end of the scale, Chelsea have imposed no rise at all while season tickets at Arsenal are up by just 2.6 per cent. On average, however, prices have gone up by eight per cent. A statement from Tottenham said they needed the extra cash "to progress both on and off the pitch". Bolton, Liverpool and Newcastle have yet to reveal their prices for next season.

  • Registered Users Posts: 592 ✭✭✭galinka


    £755 but was owed £25 by Ticket Exchange! So its still about €100 less than last season!
