Entrance prices 70-present

[Barry Sanchez]

Sorry bored waiting for flight and was wondering how much prices have changed from the past to now, does anyone know the prices?

 

Cheers

Since 1989 average ticket prices have risen by 716%...

£1.50 in 1980 Archers Road terrrace, for nippers you could get in for 50p

[scally]

1975 as a nipper it cost 30p to stand in the corner of the Archers under the clock.

I guess it would depend where you are flying to.

[Wes Tender]

I guess it would depend where you are flying to.

 

And indeed whether it is a package deal or scheduled and then what class.

[John Boy Saint]

Lawrie Mac tells the story that when Saints signed Kevin Keegan Saints doubled the ticket prices and no one batted an eyelid.

 

Would have been interesting to see the thread on here if the infernal net had existed way back then.

 

I recall paying 90p as a nipper back in 1978 when we kicked of in the then Division 1, my ticket for the League cup final at Wembley the following Spring was a humongous £2.50. Bit scary compared to JPT final tickets for 4 of us in Club Wembley costing over £200.

There's a thing called inflation too.

[Kenilworthy]

When I started going in 68/69 the most expensive seat in the Dell was 19/6 (just under a pound) and the programme was a shilling (5 p). The best seats available for the FA Cup final in 76 were £10.

[Tokyo-Saint]

The average rate of inflation has been what over the years? About 3.5% per annum? How does that compare with the ticket increases?

Price for Milton Road terrace in 1968-70 4/6d (22.5p)

 

Half price for nippers.

[RedAndWhite91]

Price for Milton Road terrace in 1968-70 4/6d (22.5p)

 

Half price for nippers.

 

22p in 1968 would be £3.15 in 2010...

Heard a guy on 5live the other night discussing this.

 

He said it cost the same to go to the cinema in the 70's as it did to watch top flight football. Now it's £8.50 for cinema and £35 for football.

Yes but cinema attendants do not get paid £20k a week.

[Right sider]

Milton was £8/9 in 80s and 90s before the seats went in. £2 for kids

[revolution saint]

No, but some actors get far more than that.

[Cheam Saint]

When I started going regularly in 1984 it was £3 to stand in the Milton Road End and £1-50 for under 16s. Interestingly, at the time, it was also £3 to go to the cinema.

 

The other night I went to the cinema for £9-50, yet my Liverpool ticket just set me back £35. Just goes to show how football prices have gone up in real money.

[70's Mike]

Cannot remember the prices when i started going in early 60's but i was 18 in 72 and remember a pint of starlight was 12p in the Haymarket on a Saturday morning

[Lord Duckhunter]

Nor do the stewards at football.

Was that the 2.8% Watneys drink? (I hesitate to call it beer)

[jonesyboyo]

Something like £4 adults / £2 children on the milton road, in 1989-90 when I first started going

[lordswoodsaints]

The cheapest I can remember is 40p,must of been about 78,79 when I started going without my dad but not sure before that as the old fella paid
