    Boutique Football rearing its head again in SW6

    Noticed this article about ludicrous ticket prices at FFC.

    Seems similar to the Briatore madness of a decade ago when he jacked prices up after promotion. We managed to chase the fool out of the club but FFC seem stuck with Shah.

    Snd what were our top end prices when we were last in the premiership. I think £65 for an adult ticket in the SAR?

    Based on our stadium capacity it really wouldnt bring in significantly more money.

    As a matter of principle I wouldnt pay more than £50 to watch a game of football unless it's a play off final or cup final. I think I'm safe on the latter!!

    Premiership is a joke. Keep ticket prices sensible whilst acceptancing a small increase because you're seeing a better product. Dont rip people off to flight to stay there, take the money, give it your best shot and accept our football standing of maintaining championship football.

    The championship is a much better league to be in and premiership money should be saved to maintain that status to keep us out of L1.

        A ton to sit in the lower of the new stand ... My mate has a ST in the Hammersmith end and it's under £600 . Would expect us to be similar in the PL.
        I'm happy in the championship all I want is a team that compete , give 100% and try and play attractive football . Go up and it's loads of tourists in the seats and your real support suffers
        . Know some Fulham fans that are outraged at the prices , but they'll sell out cos Liverpool are in town

          My Leeds mate who is a life long fan who supports them home and away is naffed off with the Premiership for the same reason. He wouldnt have been bothered in the slighted had they been relegated last season. There were loads of ST fans who had sat in the same seats for years who were relocated to different parts of the ground etc.

          Premiership and the general money grab to stay in that division is a PR disaster for the impact on fans, sorry customers!!!!

                        I think our dear neighbours charging a ton for a seat is worth a mention. If they had left it at £99.75 I probably wouldn't have bothered - breaching the £100 seems newsworthy, like a player being charged with murder or a club going bankrupt or a club appointing a female manager sorta thing.

                            Fair enough 72 I don't include you in that category.
                            I realise my post looked like a dig personally but it wasn't meant as such towards you.
                            I am sorry for making you feel uncomfortable, if I did

                              It's going back to the old" don't ever want to get promoted, would rather stay a mid table championship team, prices will go up etc" debate isn't it ? Flogged that subject to death last season, and no doubt ,, if we do well it will continue . Get promoted, if you don't like whatever price rises may happen , don't go to games, just pay sky/ bt sport/ Amazon whoever for the privilege of watching your team
