The loyal supporter is a thing of the past, the mug prepared to pay fortunes is the way forward for corporate greed clubs.

That line about corporate customers and tourists spending more sums it up
Changed days from a paper boy having enough for bus fare, a match ticket and a sausage supper (or a new scarf) . Just.

Football like every other entertainment is dictated by the whims of their customers. Football clubs commanded a huge fan loyalty when it was a working man's escape from the drudgery of the working week.
The customer base has now unshifted with football being more a family and middle class pastime. Clubs are no longer focusing on local loyalties as they see the real profits are made corporate and tourist customers. Membership schemes are utilised to get fans to pay for less glamorous games in the hope that they will one of the lucky few that secures a ticket for the high demand games.
Consumer loyalty though is a fickle thing. Although football at the moment is the top of the charts for the 'must see' thing for fashionable crowd, this can easily turn when another attraction takes over. And then football clubs have to try and return to their traditional support who by this time may have given up and decided to spend their cash elsewhere, leaving football much the poorer.

Clubs are businesses and aren’t going to reduce their prices out the goodness of their own hearts. They will price to fill the ground.
Looking at those prices I don’t see a huge issue if I’m honest. Average looks about £600 for the season so around £30 a game. I was ‘more than that two weeks ago to take my two sons for a game of ten pin bowling.

I'm taking my 11 year old son to Newcastle v Liverpool tomorrow. Tickets were £57 (£37 and £20) and it's a Category A match so didn't think it was too bad.

We have 3 for Old Trafford on Saturday in the 4th tier of the North Stand and they were £48 each for adults and £25 for kids.
The £66 tickets are only for the last remaining ones and resales in the EPL they say and not the ballots for the big games v Arsenal and Man City or cup games

It cost me nothing that night to get into Ibrox for the Inter Milan game. I got a lift o'er! All the money I ever needed as a wee boy to see the Rangers was 6d. That was the price of the subway tickets from St Enoch's to Copland Road and back.
Newcastle tickets aren't too bad, I was £47 for the game against Brighton and £50 for the game against Arsenal, it's the train that's expensive now, went from about £40 a couple of years ago to being lucky to get it between £50-£60 now
I bought a ticket for this game last night via Ticombo as in Newcastle for work and was only £73 and that was including £20 in booking fees. Very reasonable for a big game and via a tout website.
In London on Sunday evening for a meeting Monday morning. Flying down a bit earlier and going to try the same tactic of leaving it late and trying for a ticket for Spurs Chelsea

The main reason I never want us to go near the EPL as I do not want to become one of those clubs

The football food thread is actually a pretty good baromoter of where the club/supporter relationship is at in big clubs. They serve up disgusting, badly made slop, charge insane amounts for it and don't give one single f8ck. They know punters will still buy it.
Don't like it? Someone else will take your place.

Many Premier League clubs are now not selling new season tickets. The few that aren't renewed every year aren't put back up for sale as season tickets, just single match by match tickets which generate clubs more money.

It shouldn't be too bad as there are plenty of tickets for sale on the Spurs website. You need a membership to buy them though

You can call the clubs greedy mate, but every penny finds its way back to the players and the agents.
The clubs are glorified middle men that are often left without a pot to piss in themselves.

I've paid £65 for me and my son to go to Villa v Southampton on Saturday.
I paid more than double that last season for Inter Milan v Napoli.
Buying direct from the clubs on both occasions.
I just don't really go to City anymore because of how much it usually costs now. Me and my old man are much more inclined to go watch Bury or I'll save my few extra quid for the odd time I'm able to get up to Ibrox. A full day trip up north for me probably doesn't cost much more than an afternoon at the etihad and that includes my fuel etc.
My City attendance has dropped off massively in the last 2 years especially and before that I'd been a regular since the early 90s.
The derby next weekend is the first one I'll have ever missed at home because I now don't have enough loyalty points from the last 2 years to get a ticket. Making the previous 3 decades of support irrelevant now.

And to think some people want us to join this over-priced, over-preening, over-rated circus?
After the novelty has worn off, people on here would be in uproar about the cost of tickets etc. Well, tough shit - cheers for your years of loyalty, now pay up or GTF because a tourist will snap up the seat anyway. And they will spend big on tat in the club shop too.
Football has changed beyond recognition for the average fan down south. The trouble is, for millennials and Gen Z's (the existing and future supporters) they don't know any different. Half and half scarves, camera phones constantly on, surrounded by look-at-me! Arsenal fan TV fuds and suchlike.
I remember in the late 80s/early 90s paying cash at the turnstiles at Highbury for any game you care to mention. Now it is akin to a byzantine mortgage application and you're lucky if you get a ticket. At Liverpool it's even worse.
Seriously, get all that in the fucking sea. We are Scottish. We are the Rangers.

Just noticed this great initiative by Brentford.
With many Premier League clubs ripping off their fans, it's refreshing to be able to highlight one of the top-flight teams who are trying to do the opposite.
Brentford FC have announced Gen10, a new initiative to keep football affordable for the next generation of fans.
For the rest of this season, travelling junior fans will pay no more than £10 to watch Brentford in the Premier League - whether that is youngsters supporting the Bees on the road, or under 18 away fans travelling to watch their team face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Under the Gen10 initiative, Brentford FC will subsidise the cost of junior away tickets at Premier League matches where the host club charges more than £10, to help reduce the overall cost of supporting the Bees on the road.
The club will also reduce league ticket prices at the Gtech Community Stadium to £10 for all visiting under 18s. Currently, tickets can cost as much as £25 at away matches in the Premier League for under 18s.
The Gen10 initiative builds on the Premier League’s £30 price cap for adult away tickets.
Jon Varney, Brentford FC chief executive, said:
“Gen10 is a statement of intent. We’re putting young fans first to ensure they can watch their team on the road by keeping football affordable and accessible. Clubs have the power to make the game more affordable for everyone and to challenge rising costs for supporters and we want to play our part. We hope other clubs follow this initiative."
Well done Brentford!

Yes, I am a member and there are some sections with over 40 tickets in them and seats together. It will only let me buy one with my membership so it will be one each membership for this game.
A membership normally costs £50 unless you pay by direct debit which is cheaper but there is a Limited Time Offer - Extra 50% off with code OHM24SAVE50

They are around £80 to around £95 each. Spurs tickets are among the most expensive in the league and this is a category A game.
