norfolkchance1 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Is it just me or is £26 to sit in an open air (golf course style) stand at Blackpool absolutely ridiculous. How come it is us that always have to pay this sort of price, earlier in season we went to Forest and were charged £26/27 yet last week I looked in Prestons programme and their supporters were being charged £20 to go there.Someone is taking the p*ss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canary cherub 1 Posted February 20, 2009 In the past some clubs have had a mutual agreement to reduce admission prices for each other''s fans. I don''t know whether this still occurs or whether it''s something we have ever done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But even £20 seems alot of money to go to their stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,531 Posted February 20, 2009 Some of these prices do seem ridiculously high. To sit in the upper tier behind the goal at QPR on a Tuesday evening is £30. Now for them to charge us that it must be what their fans are paying at the opposite end. This beggars belief. QPR are in an area where there is huge competion for football fans hard earned. No wonder a lot of their home gates are less than 14,000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largey 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Went to Blackpool for the FA Cup match 2 seasons ago, was a tenner I think!Make sure you take a jacket, there is a stiff easternly breeze from the sea! And get to the burger bar early, or you may miss the whole game queueing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seat124 0 Posted February 21, 2009 an easterly breeze would be good.blackpool is on the west coast!mind you, i have been to blackpool in the "summer" and you need three layers of clothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who hasn''t been look at pictures of ground on here http://www.footballgroundguide.com/blackpool/, it seems like the price we are paying is the same as all away fans there pay (according to the site) I''m maybe a stinge when it comes to money but I just think its harsh on City supporters travelling a massive distance.
