Yeah, I couldn't believe that. Is it my imagination or does the beer prices go up 20p every game. I know I have missed the last 4 games due to illness, but Jesus, first game back and the same beer I paid 4 different prices this season.

I think it’s been £7.20 for a pint of Meantime IPA the start of the season, didn’t notice it was more expensive this weekend.
Fun fact - our customers are probably about 70% male, of all ages including pensioners !
Our cocktails are also award winning, and as well as beating the long lines at the main bar, you could get a cocktail for as little as £4 if you buy one of our loyalty cards! Try us the next game you will not be disappointed !
Is £7.40 really that expensive for a pint ? I get its slightly more expensive than a normal pub but its not ludicrously expensive.
Simply YES. 🙂
In the context of high ticket prices and most families not having the luxury of large amounts of surplus cash for ‘entertainment’ it all detracts from attendances increasing anytime soon.
Compare that price to say a Wetherspoon and it looks very high.

yes but Wetherspoons are an anomaly, they are known for particularly low prices so thats not a fair comparison, in the same way if I suggested central Stockholm or the O2 Arena where a beer can be upwards of £10 wouldn't be a fair comparison.
In reality its about about £1.50-£2 more expensive than a normal pub (non-spoons), it has a captive market hence why they raise prices bit but truthfully no one is forcing people to buy the pint and if it was so expensive people wouldn't buy it and the club would be forced to reduce the price.

Not an anomaly in my book given their footprint. Because if it’s a pint you want you can go there before the game.
They have a business model Which works. The price in venue doesn’t work to get anywhere near the volume of sales it could.
But it’s also a price inflation you see on non alcoholic stuff too. It’s all overpriced and gives the impression of taking punters for mugs.
If you come as the stereotype family of parents and kids you’d be mad not to bring your own refreshments.

If you are desperate for a pint, there are plenty of pubs where you can arrange to meet up, and drink to your heart's content. Nobody is forcing you to drink in The Valley. I rarely do. If I want a pint, I'll go in The Bugle or The Anchor and Hope.
Part of the problem is you're paying over the odds for often crap beer and very slow staff. I don't think it's actually the staff's fault, as has been covered over and over they're agency staff learning on the job every time they work. Club would sell a lot more beer though if they priced it cheaper. Pretty sure at one point recently Anfield served a pint cheaper than the local pubs. Now that causes different issues around the local economy etc but there's no reason I should pay an extra £2 for poor service other than just convenience which doesn't seem worth £2 to me

All bottled cocktails 2 for £6!!
Good seeing you Saturday.
Grolsch I think was £6.60 and Moretti was £7.20.
I don't know if they charge the same in the fans bar.
Not pulling me in. 😉😆

Better beers, anyway...
