Thread throughout the season to discuss away ticket prices.
Derby are charging us £27 adults, £19 Over 65s, £15 U18s
Seen that Bristol City will be charging away fans either £20 (silver) £25 (gold), so suspect being on Boxing Day it will be the higher price.
Notts Forest are charging Rotherham fans the following:
Adult: £30
Senior 65 and over: £22
Under 18: £16
Under 12: £8
Sheffield Wednesday are charging Bristol City fans a ridiculous £39 on the opening day of the season. Absolutely disgusting.
Adults - £39, 65 & Over - £29, Under-17 - £21, Under-11 - £17

The old man will be hit by this.
bastards.
We are charging QPR fans £26.
Bit like when you can look up all the scores from the season.
It looks as if the club has tried to offset this by raising some home prices and possibly we may see more gold games than previously too, as they do not appear to have specified a number this time.
Didn't we pay £10 at Hillsborough back in April. I guess that is a reflection of our special relationship
Foor games gainst tem lot tis 20 pound
Tis oother lot be 25 pound.
When play t'lot in red is 27 pound
Save me opening OooAaahs posts as well.
I suppose Brentford and Qpr with smaller away ends could make us Gold but Fulham you can have as many as you like .
Possibly Brighton , not sure when that is
For a home fan you can pay up to a mind boggling £52!
Apparantly season-tickets are quite reasonable, but I reckon they are going to be hit hard on matchday sales.
It's an important revenue stream to the club - for some games larger than home match ticket revenue - and over 23 games pretty easy to estimate. Home match ticket revenue is more easily affected by fluctuations in form. With away contingents this will tend to balance out both over the season and year on year.
In the same way the breakdown between adults and concessions follows an entirely predictable pattern.
£90k impact was a 30 second calculation - if I went away and looked up the numbers I would probably refine it, but it's a fair working estimate, the point being it's a significant hit.
