Carling Cup Final prices

[KWJ]

Suppose it also depends on how many 40 quid tickets there are available.

After seeing the thread I thought the cheapest was going to be a good bit more than that.

[brianmc]

I go to watch Barcelona when I can afford it. For this weekend's game against Atlético prices range from 64€ for the cheapest seats away up behind the goals by the scoreboard to 995€ for the top priced prawn tapas seat.
Oh, and there are no concessions for kids etc

Forty quid is for the top tier as the worst view then the price goes up the closer you get to the pitch. £40 isn't to bad. £100 for bottom tier side stand tickets is a joke.

[Carheenlea]

When I saw the thread title, I opened it expecting to read of prices way exceeding the £40-£100 quoted. Those prices are pretty much what I would expect for such a game. Folk were paying around £100 to go and see U2 in Glasgow recently with most appearing to feel that represented value for what was on offer. Ticket for The Open is £80, Six Nations about £60-£70.

Been in the top tier at wembley a few times and never had a bad view of the pitch. £40 is well worth it. Esp if its Liverpool v Everton.

As others have said, I'd cladly pay £100 to watch us in a cup final if it was the only way of getting a ticket.

Top tier is a great view.

Frankfurt-Bayern a few years ago cost me €32 euro's.

Bargain.

Cheapest seats £40. Most expensive £100.

They really are ripping the supporters off. I wouldn't pay that much for a diddy cup final.

It is acceptable IMHO - though I did pay £30/£15 for City v. Roma, Bayern Munich and £60/£30 for Barcelona for me and the lad in the Champions League last season.

I'm going to Malaga-Real Madrid next month for 70Euro

Going to the Borrussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich game on March 5th at Signal Iduna Park. Ticket cost €40. Seat is right next to the yellow wall. Can't wait! Should be some atmosphere!

Bayern fans are a decent bunch.


Bundesliga is the best league in the world. Enjoy.

I was in the away end at the Ethiad for City v Barça. £60 for me and £60 for my bairn....
Anyhow, back to the original point from the OP - I don't think the cup final tickets are excessive.
As someone posted earlier (Scouse I think) a quiet night out with the wife (transport, meal, movie perhaps and a couple of drinks would be £100+). You either think it's value for money out not and vote with your wallet accordingly.
Would I be in favour of, or indeed able to afford Hibs charging these prices on a regular basis? Naw.
But it's no Hibs v some second tier team we're talking about - it's a cup final at Wembley FFS

[johnbc70]

Been to two Champions League Finals and paid £300 each for a ticket (Cat 1) and worth every penny. I am watching football at arguably the highest level in the word and guys who are the best in the world (Messi, Neymar, Pirrlo etc.) and was a pleasure to see them live. Off to the Euro 2016 final in July and paid £250 for ticket, that was face value.

I know I am lucky that I can afford it but I don't mind paying that if I am seeing the world's best in the biggest games.

You must be on different financial planet than most then. This is precisely why people on lower incomes have become excluded from what was supposed to be a working-class game. English prices are ludicrous - this is just another example of why so many people, especially those with kids, can't afford to go.

And yet the place will be bursting at the seams

been up in the rafters a few times at Wembley but never had a crap view. Sat on half line in the middle section and it was not cheap but cracking view and no queues for booze, food or toilets that upper and lower stands have. Very well built modern stadium.

Shame it is in such a ****hole and a ballache to get there!

I had a pair of tickets for the UEFA cup final in 2008 I think it was, the one held in Manchester...the one the manky mob got to!

I ended up giving them to two of my bigoted mates. They promptly sent me selfies with the guy sitting next to them...Frank Lampard lol.

There is the underground right outside? Found it easy to be fair.

£40 for a ticket in one of the best stadiums in the world to watch your team play a Cup final? I'd pay that.

The amount we get charged to watch us play Alloa is more of a rip off than that, for me!

There is yes... Remember we would approach it in different directions! Can be a pain in the arse from the south of London. Getting home is also a bugger. Still, think it is wonderful, the walk up the Wembley way is brilliant.

When i went mate I ended up at kings cross then underground. Found it easy.

We had a bit too much to drink and started singing to this guy about how much he looked like Robbie Savage. His Mrs was laughing so much.

I have to travel from Bridge, takes ages. So it feels anyway. Nightmare after though, so many people trying to cram on tubes!

All I remember is running for the train at kings cross after game.

Some day out and I didn't support either team. Top seats too half way line first tier.

Great modern stadium. Emirates and Allianz are also brilliant.

Tube organisation after England games is superb they just keep sending them empty.

I'm sure you would, as would many others... But can you honestly say that's 'reasonable' to watch a football match? On top of tickets prices consider travel, inflated accommodation, food, taking kids etc.

Maybe I'm in the minority? Scandalous in more ways than one.... Every player in that final will be a millionaire, the 1000's of dignitaries who will also attend on 'free' tickets will be extremely wealthy....

Nah, not for me.....

I love my team and love football but that makes me sick....

As opposed to paying £150-£200 to watch the boxing next month in Manchester? I'd certainly rather pay £100 to watch a cup final which may last 2 hours plus, than £150-£200 to watch a fight that may last 10/20/30 seconds

I have a load of friends who do England away but have to buy tickets to home games as well. They are guaranteed tickets for the duration of the euros.

They routinely offer me free tickets to Wembley... If I scan the other 18 tickets!
