AVB Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 My 8 year old has become a fanatical Spurs fan. Don't know why but I am just thankful that he isn't a gooner. Anyway, for a birthday present I bought him tickets to see Spurs vs WBA this weekend - His Nan is taking him so that is 4 tickets - Nan, Nan's 'friend', son and his cousin. £256. Yes £256. That's for a category c match. **** me. I had no idea of the cost. If you had asked me before I booked I would have guessed £25 for adults and £15 for children.

Raja Clavata Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yes, it hasn't been a cheap family day out for a long time, but 64 quid a pop is top top dollar. Assume you bought upper west stand tickets? Good choice of club though. I hope he enjoys it, should be a great reception for AVB's first home game. Hopefully a comfortable home win.

Apparenyly it`s cheaper to go abroad and watch Barcelona than some of the premiership teams!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is Upper West. I booked from afar so not exactly what I got (or what options were available). It is costing me a lot. He is now decked out in replica kit. bedroom kitted out, supporters club membership etc. I don;t know what sparked it. I mentioned on here once before that he has no real interest in kicking a ball but is a fanatical supported and knows all of the stats of all of the players (Bale's inside leg measurement etc.) and the club.

AVB Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I would also like to clarify that I am not the AVB of ex-Chelsea and now Spurs. In case anybody thought he was lurking on here as a pigeon shooter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) No good to you now, But what we used to do was just go to the cup matches, we used to buy corporate seats for around £40, standard cup games for "peasant seats" were £25 (Newcastle United) exclusive areas, far better value, for premier games these would have been £65+ worth thinking about next time Edited August 25, 2012 by shaun4860 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Well that was £256 down the drain. They didn't make it to the game due to accident on M11. Five hours in the car apparently. I think I'll go by train next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggins. Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I feel so sorry for your boy, Five hours is a long wait .. hope he gets there next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I think if it was me I would write to them and explain the situation you never know might send you some free ones. Worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Clavata Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Oh dear, that is a shame. I agree it would be worth writing in or sending an email. That same accident caused the O's game to be postponed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I went to watch Real Madrid at their home ground and tickets were around £15! How is it the premiership gets away with charging what they do? It's no longer a working mans sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a miss for a season(en masse) and prices will be revised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobydog Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 A bit different but 2 years ago went to Qatar on holiday and got to see Bayern Munich vs Al Rayaan a local team and then they played Borussia Dortmund, all free and at half time there was a free draw to win one of several Mitsi Shoguns donated by local dealer, how we can only dream. Took son to see City vs United £88.00!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying players £100,000.00 a week has to come from somewhere.......Mate is a Cardiff City season ticket holder it was about £400 when he bought early on last season some friends Have swansea season tickets and go to some away games costs quite a bit. Turn out for rugby matches at the Millenium this year were down as well due to high ticket prices Edited August 26, 2012 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
