Roger Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Loads of us wanted to go but not for £41. That's just a joke. Hopefully bubble will burst soon and it will be more like it used to lol.
stevegrant Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Palace has always been one of the more expensive grounds, I remember them charging £35 back in 2005 and £30 in the Championship when it was a Monday night on TV.
Roger Posted 27 November, 2014 Author Posted 27 November, 2014 I know Steve. I just think it's taking the mick a bit. Still got my season ticket but thought it was a bit naughty putting them up again but that's a lot of money. Shame.
UpweySaint Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Loads of us wanted to go but not for £41. That's just a joke. Hopefully bubble will burst soon and it will be more like it used to lol. Expensive yes but worth noting club have put on discounted coach travel (£5 return) to the game which is at least a decent gesture.
Lighthouse Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 They will charge that (and more) for as long people are willing to pay it.
Colinjb Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Jesus. Simply cannot justify that, a pity as I was looking forward to going.
Turkish Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Jesus. Simply cannot justify that, a pity as I was looking forward to going. Yet you'll spend that money on a football shirt you didn't like and actively protested against. Odd.
Colinjb Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Yet you'll spend that money on a football shirt you didn't like and actively protested against. Odd. Just....
Turkish Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Just.... I'm glad you can laugh about it now pal.
Colinjb Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 I'm glad you can laugh about it now pal. On many levels.
influx Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Is Turkish like this in real life? You're like a women with this long memory of yours. Let things lie man Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

angelman Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Yet you'll spend that money on a football shirt you didn't like and actively protested against. Odd. But a shirt lasts (hopefully) for more than 90 minutes.
hypochondriac Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 (edited) But a shirt lasts (hopefully) for more than 90 minutes. You'd rather buy a shirt you don't like than watch the team you support just because the shirt you dislike would last longer? Odd. Edited 27 November, 2014 by hypochondriac
GAS Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 And you have to watch the game through a letter box. What is that stupid walk way for?
Sour Mash Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Loads of us wanted to go but not for £41. That's just a joke. Hopefully bubble will burst soon and it will be more like it used to lol. Its becoming the norm in football, circa £40 for a ticket, mad. Look at some of the prices for Spurs/Chelsea/Arsenal higher category games. Saints should be subsidising match tickets instead of Travel Club travel.
Wes Tender Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Palace have raised the ticket prices because we're now second and they need to make the most of attracting all the local plastics who want to watch all our glory team stars in action.
Saint Garrett Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Can't stand paying that much for football. It's absolutely ridiculous especially when it's such a hole. If they want atmospheres to improve, they need to make it a more working class game again, rather than rich ppl the only ones who can afford to go.
Saint_clark Posted 27 November, 2014 Posted 27 November, 2014 Well I was thinking about going, but that's too much for the hassle of getting there on boxing day.

If they want atmospheres to improve, they need to make it a more working class game again, rather than rich ppl the only ones who can afford to go. Disagree. Working class people are scum who don't have the disposable income to be the type of fan we want to attract. Look what happened last time working class people were allowed to come to football, it was over run with thugs creating havoc in their reebok classics. How is a man on a low income with 4 children from 3 different women and isn't paying child support for any of them supposed to enjoy the family match day experience of the new improved lighting, excellent new LED screens, the superb range of merchandise not to mention the extensive range of food stuffs now available in the many kiosks at st Mary's? He could barely afford the match day ticket let alone take advantage of all of this should he bring himself and his ferrel offspring to the match. I say keep them away and keep them priced out, let them stay on Shirley high street on Saturday afternoons where they belong, leave the soccerball to those of us who can afford to take appreciate the match day experience, which in my opinion has never been better.

Can someone ban this imbecile!

Sour Mash Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Can someone ban this imbecile! Did it not make you chuckle just a bit Rog?
rick1976.4.38 Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Can someone ban this imbecile! I think you need to see the humour in this roger
Saints foreva Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 We will still take a decent amount there which justifies them charging £41. Prices will continue to go up year after year as well.
The Cat Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Palace fans not happy either. Apparently we are now Cat A (top teams are A+) just because it's Boxing Day.

This guy has posted over 25,00 times. It's obviously a form of OCD. He's more to be pitied than despised. Ignore his posts otherwise you're doing exactly what he wants. P.S Football tickets (and football in general) only loosely obey the laws of supply and demand.

I'd say the obey the laws of supply and demand the same as any other industry unfortunately.
Lighthouse Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Only loosely? I'd say the obey the laws of supply and demand the same as any other industry unfortunately. Pretty much. The fact that St Marys and most of our away games are roughly around a sell out, plus or minus a few hundred say's they've got it about right. You know you've got the balance right when customers are saying, "these prices are outrageous... here take my money!"

You know you've got the balance right when customers are saying, "these prices are outrageous... here take my money!" The laws of supply and demand only work if you were prepared to support another team, or not support any team if the prices are too high.
Sour Mash Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 The laws of supply and demand only work if you were prepared to support another team, or not support any team if the prices are too high. That's not really the law of supply and demand.

eelpie Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Palace have graded us a top team. The woes of success.
