£15 seniors, £10 concessions. That's more expensive, pro rata, than a Championship game for a ST holder. We have been told that dropping out of the Championship would cost the club £5M in turnover. The FA Cup winners get £1.8M. In addition, many loyal fans shelled out hard-earned for travel and admission for what seems to have been a poor game on Saturday. And a replay on a cold January night just after everybody's had the expense of Christmas. I'm not hard up for £15 but it feels like there is a point of principle here. £10 (like a League Cup game) might have been nearer the mark.
Agreed: even if we draw man united in the next round and everyone wants a stub (assuming a win of course)
Does seem poor when season pass holders can watch us cheaper in an important league match local derby against Leeds than it costs to watch a january night cup replay against a team two leagues below.
Ticket prices for the Replay will be as follows: Adults: £15.00 Seniors (Over 60): £10.00 Juveniles (Under 19): £5.00* http://mobile.barnsleyfc.co.uk//new...ird-round-replay-date-confirmed.-3510008.aspx
I might be wrong but I'm sure the FA set minimum prices for the FA Cup. It certainly use to be the case.
Bondy has helpfully set out the position re pricing. Must say though that the prospect of a freezing cold evening spent watching Blackpool park the bus for the right to play Blackburn away doesn't sound like a night of unbridled fun.
