To fleece as many of the fans as possible in order to maximise revenue.
There’s no justification for a game on a Saturday being more expensive than a game on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
Arguing for them to go down, obviously. Across the board. It’s ludicrous pricing. Football has got itself into a massive black hole with this IMO. It will come back to bite them on the arsé.Sounds like you're arguing for the midweek prices to go up as well.
I’m not sure they can be described as good for a club in one of the most socially deprived parts of the country in the middle of a cost of living crisis - calling them good is stretching things to say the leastGood prices them, work abroad and make any i can but they tend to be midweek anyway
Interesting post h_m and I can sympathise.If it's just you going, prices aren't THAT bad for certain areas of the ground. But for those of us who are travelling 2hrs and have kids to take - easy going to cost me £120+ by the time I factor in diesel, parking, food/drink etc. Struggling to justify it tbh.
Wanting to be a proper parent and bring my son up a Boro fan.....so far so good, daughter has gone through the "City" phase - come out the other side thankfully; but when I can take him to Stockport for £5 (10 mins away) it's going to be hard getting him properly hooked if it's 2-3 games a season at Boro.
Is there another club in the championship charging more for the cheapest adult ticket ?

If you can get a ticket. Priority points doesn't make that easy.Interesting post h_m and I can sympathise.
Just to update you Stockport County look to have put up their prices 40% for children this season from £5 to £7. So adult and child is £27 opposed to £42 or £37 at Boro depending on when the game is played. Stockport is Div 2. Not being to Edgeley Park since 1986, but it used to a Div 2 ground like say Feethams i.e. a couple of leagues below the Riverside.

It costs me over £100 to go to a home game, but we try to make it into a trip, stay over and go somewhere else besides the football, see relatives etc. Parking is free if you are willing to walk 20 minutes from the Riverside and money can be saved by taking own sarnies or buying some in Town. (not the same as a meal).
Living near Stockport means cheaper trips to Stoke, Preston, Blackpool, Burnley, Blackburn, Sheffield United, Rotherham, Huddersfield all within 45 miles? Boro homes games are away games for you and me.
