£12 is a ridiculously cheap amount for a football ticket.

When I played for Borrowash Vics a few season back, Im sure we were charging £6!

I don't see what the issue is on £29 a ticket to be honest. Football has moved on and that seems a reaonsable amount to me.

At the end of the day, we're a business too and will be taking advantage that Wolves are one of few Championship teams (ourselves included) who take a hefty following and are therefore charged higher than most.

It was £5 Serial. I wouldn't pay £6 to watch that crap.

You obviously didnt have a season ticket under the leadership of P()rno Paul then if you call Vics crap...

wolves had the decency to take that into account and charge derby fans a reduced £12.

Serial? Not the serial from the good old BBC 606 days? I was sowewin(every now and)again on there. Good banter back then!!

posted on 12/10/15

Sowewin: Yes, but banter back the seems to have died a death on these boards though... I see some have tried but ultimately failed to get things going...


Wolfgang: Yes, its ridiculously cheap. £29 is a fair amount for a game in my opinion. The cheapest adult tickets for home fans are £27.50, there's no way the club will sell to opposing fans for less than that is there. The equivilent seats for home fans are £31.

True, but Vics didn't have wonderful signings like Robbie Savage though.

Serial

You wont get much banter off Wolves fans on here either

The only regular contributors on here are still arguing about wether Mick McCarthy was:

A) The second coming of His Lord, Jesus Christ or:
B) Just a very naughty boy

and if they are not arguing about that they are arguing about the fact that their argument was right all along because they argued about something on a forum in 1923 that suggests that Nostradamus argued that Kenny Jackett would ulimately fail/succeed (delete where applicable) when he eventually took over.

They sound like a more intelligent breed of Forest fan

Well, when you put it like that ....

Still, a long way from 606 when a Baggies fan told a Liverpool fan that the reds idea of class was "lying on the bonnet of a stolen Vauxhall Corsa"

posted on 12/10/15

There is still banter to be found with other fans on this site, Vinnie. You just generally have to leave the Wolves board for it. Although, the Liverpool fans are a sensitive lot here.

Nostradamus did predict the McCarthy sacking and Wolves fall from grace in 2012. Unfortunately it was misinterpreted and with the Mayan calendar ending in the same period, we were instead subjected to a number a poor disaster movies.

Still missing the point guys. Wolves didn't reduce their prices for Derby fans as such, they reduced the prices for everybody including free tickets for young Wolves that night. It was a business decision like any other, a promotion to try to get a few more people inside the ground, and fair play to them for that. But to pretend it was some sort of benevolent or altruistic gesture to Derby fans is nonsense. Derby are not reducing the price of tickets for the Wolves game for home fans OR away fans - why should they?

posted on 12/10/15

agree with the above comment, if the derby ground will be full at full price then it would be bad business for them to reduce the costs regardless of whether or not they make money from sky.

Having a blanket reduction on ticket pricess in every league across the country however is a different matter- football prices are unnecessarily high but until us mugs stop going altogether (not just a few hundred protesting) then that is exactly how it will stay.

hellfire !

" Wolves didn't reduce their prices for Derby fans as such, they reduced the prices for everybody"

so therefore they reduced them for derby fans !!!!!

If I remember correctly, my season ticket came with a breakdown of how much each match costs. I've not got the details with me, but if I had to guess, it would put it at about £30.

If general tickets go on sale at £14, does this mean, I'll be getting back the difference? Of course not. It would be business suicide.

So the choice is, drop the prices and upset 24,000 season ticket holders or keep the price at the original and be called shameful by a few Wolves fans.

Its sad that the business side of football is probably more important than the actual game now days.

I paid the robbing gits at Ipswich £35, five years ago, (the night we saw Roy Keane off 0-2).

FFS sake don't ask him about the run to the cup final in 1893 he'll go on for hours.

Why did he run to the cup final? Surely there was a horse and cart available.
