Ticket prices over the years

I received an email from an Evening SubStandard reporter the other day asking about ticket prices over the years. I was going to just ignore it, but now I've thought why not open it up on here. Here is the message they sent:
I thought you might be able to help me with a story I'm writing about ticket prices.

I'm looking at how much ticket prices have risen by in the last ten years and was wondering if you had any idea how much non-season tickets cost ten years ago and five years ago?

Do you think you would be able to help?

I'll pass any answers back to the hack journalist, or send a link to this thread. So tell them what you think.

    I think ticket prices have become astronomical,£38 to go to Old Trafford,by the time u travel by train n eat n drink your looking at close to £150 and most of us cant afford that sort of money every other week.
  • brownybrowny
    And im lead to beleive Arsenal n Chelsea is even dearer

    Does this evening substandard(don't buy this garbage as they hate charlton)journalist go to football? if so he/she would know prices are far too high and we also need our terracing back.i thank you.

    Yes, badger, that's what I was thinking [don't they go to football]. Also, why not email the club, they could provide all sorts of info on CAFC ticket prices over the years, surely?

    I put it up on here, rather than just ignore it, to generate some good general info about how we feel about ticket prices, but also in hopes that it would generate some talk about the SubStandard's anti-CAFC bias.

    Have not bought this paper for a long time, they had/have a very anti charlton view, still as far as pricing is concerned i want ticket pricing to be changed, for example walk up buy on the day tickets at cafc for class a games man u/arsenal costing £10.00 more, away fans being charged more when they will take the full allocation is exploitation,we are now consumers not fans, it has to be dealt with by the fa and an agreement should be met, look at the attendances, fa cup,league cup, 5.15 kick offs, looses interest, punters are staying away.also small factor when smoking is banned completely how many more people will not attend.

    It was generally £25 per game five years back, wasn't it?

    Wouldn't wipe my arse with the Evening Stunted, but to be fair the reporter either probably doesn't have much faith in the club telling the truth, or just wants to get a fans' view alongside the club's point of view.

    Probably will get more expensive, still won't buy the (lower your) standard.

    Have been to watch european games at a fraction of the price and have had a choice of terracing and or seating with no trouble at all, affordable and enjoyable. I think CONSUMERISM in footy will reduce the fan base.

    Did you ask him how much the price of the Evening Standard has risen over 5 and 10 years? Or how much their advertising rates have changed?

    went to valenica pre season and the price was about £6 for the ticket if that game was at the Valley you jut know it would have cost £20

    football is just a plain ole rip off now because the clubs know full well , especially the top 4, that for every fan that ssays I am not paying that price there will be another 2 or 3 that will so they don't give a monkeys.

    who is the reporter not that arsenal wanker is it - Stammers is it?
  • Friend Or DefoeFriend Or Defoe
    Liverpool supporters write to Arsenal to argue for lower ticket price than £93 for FA Cup tie

    No doubt some stupid banners will be made and the world will be saved.

    When will fans wake up and boycott?

    Surprised people are picking out Man U. Certainly not cheap but far from being the worst offenders. Think I paid more at West Ham in the last season in the Prem. Stopped going to Chelsea away when they started charging £48. They were charging that to go in the away end for a run of the mill Prem match the same year I paid £24 to watch England vs Paraguay at the World Cup.
