Wake up Steve Parish, you are behaving like a foreign owner and not the devoted fan we know you are. Charging £25 for the Man City FA Cup 4th round tie is a disgrace. Where's the thank-you to the fans? Where is the appreciation for our support? I was so proud of the Palace fans, myself included, who boycotted the Bolton replay and it's £20-a pop price. One of the great night's for the club. Last season the club's income from TV money alone was £72m and that will increase this season. We know the owners are making bank, coaches etc falling into money and the players absolutely coining it in. When are the supporters going to be invited to the party Parish? Now Pardew's gone you're turning your attention to the board. Here's a thought, if you don't like it, don't go. Out of interest, do you sit in Block D Holmesdale? You sound like the whiney tart who sits behind me. Believe me, if you go you won't be missed. Edited by Southampton_Eagle (18 Jan 2017 9.00pm)

Recall Southampton away last year being cheap as .. may be wrong , tenner or so . £12 last 2 seasons. Full ground great atmosphere. I think £25 is too much for this game, especially for us ST holders who've endured the last 12 months of dross. Our selhurst record since Pulis left has been dire. I won't be going as I don't feel it's value for money. We'll play a reserve team given eyes will be firmly on Bournemouth away.

The cost against Bolton was a bit steep. I went with my son and got tickets for 3 school mates. We had a great time. I think we had to charge that as Bolton charged that for the first game. Just hope I can get tickets for the kids I took to the match. £5 a pop for this game compared to £10 v Bolton. £25 for an adult seems ok when compared to how much it would be for a league match. A nice gesture would have been to charge adults £15 if they attended the Bolton game to reward the support and the high price they paid. Southampton charged £12 a ticket for tonight's replay v Norwich. Norwich charged £25 per ticket for the first game. So I don't think there is a rule that replay ticket prices must match the first game. It's more likely that the 2 clubs have to agree both prices.

Maybe, Bolton wouldn't let us go for less. Thought lower price may have got more fans. Seems £10 for kids was steep when compared to £5 against City. But thanks for the info

oldstand...Southampton was 2 years ago. I begged way in, eventually courtesy Julian Speroni! But, it is a serious competition. No problems with £20. (Got ticket for a 'home' game today - b'mth)

All things considered I don't think it's too dear. Assuming we get 24,000 for the Citeh game that's possibly up to £500,000 gate receipts (probably less depending on the number of juniors/concessions) half of which goes to the opposition. From the remaining 50% the Club needs to prepare & open the stadium, staff it, stewards, policing costs, road closure costs & all the other overheads required on a typical match day. At a guess, there wouldn't be much (if any) left after all that lot - even in the SJ era he was quoted as saying it could cost £100k just to run a big game. Ultimately it's cost me £2 extra for me & my lad to attend compared to last night.
Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five! |

£25 not unreasonable and I'll be able to take my kids for £5 each which is a great price compared to £20 for a league match.

If the club are happy to fleece me then im happy to get in for a £5. Why not keep it at £20 its pure greed.

Christ. These days £25 is often one round in a London pub if you're with 5/6 people. For that you get to watch an FA Cup tie, against a Guardiola team that may well take it seriously given their league position and for an extra £10 you can take TWO children. I also think it's really good that the £5 price goes all the way up to U18, making it excellent value for teenagers, who may not get to go very often. I think it's very fair.
Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time. |
