If Crawley are able to get away with charging £20 to stand on a 5 foot bit of concrete watching the ugliest professional football conceivable without even a bar on offer, then Bristol or QPR away for £30 in one of the highest quality football leagues in world football is not a rip off. If anything it’s good value!
Everything costs an effing fortune now. It’s the situation we live in sadly. A pint regularly costs £7.50/8. Not one to defend football club owners but the entire economy isn’t their responsibility and at this level they’re losing hundreds of grand a week so whilst I wish they were able to serve their communities more philanthropically, they don’t owe us cheap tickets. I’m glad Charlton Athletic are still afloat, let alone in the championship with £10m of new players.
A piss take to consider ANY seats in that end stand as "Gold" seats. I've no idea how they can class some tickets as gold, and some silver in the same stand. That would be like having 2 different prices in the Jimmy Seed

QPR is £39 and arguably one of the worst away stands in the league.

Gold are the central blocks of the upper tier, silver are the blocks at either end plus the whole lower tier.

Yeh. That’s too much. Equally; I’d still much rather pay £39 to watch QPR Charlton than £20 to watch Crawley Charlton. Demand will emphatically reinforce that the majority agree.
The world economy is fucked, the football economy is fucked. I’m not promoting higher ticket prices - but I’m just saying that in the world we live in, it’s a lot of money for 90 minutes football but despite that, 30 odd quid for a ticket just isn’t a rip off.
It's also £30 to go away to Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
EFL prices are joke and there should be an agreed fixed price across the leagues.
The capping of the away tickets in the Premier League is bull****, all that happens is that the home fans end up paying more for their tickets to make up the shortfall.

As if the PL owners wouldn’t just fleece away fans too. Home tickets aren’t £30 more expensive per seat in 75% of the ground to make up for the shortfall in 25% (or often less!)

This is what would be needed to make it work at championship level, though.
Correct me if I’m wrong but is the coach company based around the Margate area? Added costs on to the customer in petrol or diesel plus wages for said drivers travelling up to the pick up stops
Also the coach to Bristol Rovers last October was £23, so about a 50 per cent increase based on the area travelling to
Good spot re price for Rovers last season. Some one is making a good profit.
Never like that when CASC ran the coaches and Trains.

Are we allowed to reciprocate pricing or is there a limit linked to home fan prices?
I think you have to charge the away fans the same price you are charging home fans in the equivalent stand. So our away prices are the same as Coverend end lower
Comments
For their first home game of the season they are charging Southampton £43 in the upper tier and £38 in the lower. Insane prices.

I also remember paying £20 for a ticket at Crawley a few months ago.
£30/£33 for an away ticket for these sort of games and venues seems good value in that context.
