What is a fair price for watching football?

[dsqpr]

I'm just wondering what people think about this. What do you think is a fair price for watching football at the various levels?
(Just assume an average seat - not the best, not the worst.)

Here is my gut feeling:
Premier - £35
Championship - £25
League One/Two - £20
Conference - £15
Isthmian/Southern/Northern - £10

probably knock a fiver off all these and spread the TV money around fairer

I'd go along with that in today's values compared with other entertainment

I vaguely remember a team (Cardiff?) several years ago setting a dynamic pricing policy for a season. Basically, admission price was linked to position in table. I think they had a duff season kicking about lower half of table so consequently it was cheap to get in.
I would like to see the league/FA ban all this "category" nonsense with clubs charging more for games against so called attractive opposition!? Should be same price for every game except TV games should be 33% off all seats.

I would agree with the OP's prices

How's this for value for money,even all those years ago.

1967 League Cup Final QPR v WBA.Attendance 97,952 with gate receipts of £60,000 = average 60p (12 shillings) per head.

1982 FA Cup Final QPR v Spurs.Attendance 100,000 with gate receipts of £918,000 = average around £9 per head.

1986 Milk Cup Final QPR v Oxford.Attendance 90,306 with gate receipts of £897,000 = average around £10per head.

Premier - £20
Championship - £15
League One/Two - £10
Conference - £7
Isthmian/Southern/Northern - £5

Works in Germany for less than this. Why not here?

Agree with that regards pricing. Think £30 for a PL game and £20 for a Championship game is more than enough.

That said, playing devil's advocate, all the while people are paying the £40 & £50 price tags for PL games & stadiums are selling out, why would they reduce the prices? The only chance of prices being reduced is if fans were to take a stand & stop attending, would force their hand. However, that is not going to happen.

premier - £20

league one/two - £10

I genuinely think 15 pounds top. The problem is no one would go to lower league matches so we will always pay over the odds
