Quickly turning into a white elephant

Fulham and Brentford have so little interest they’ve gone on guest sale. If those tickets don’t sell, they can’t open the ticket exchange which loads of ST holders rely on. If they can’t exchange their tickets regularly, I imagine a fair few won’t renew.

Tickets are overpriced by about 30% IMO, maybe more. The football is poor, the atmosphere is truly terrible. They need to see this coming and take action…. Under 25 ST’s for c.£250 etc, general reduction across the board.

I bought 2 Brentford tickets yesterday. Up in the nosebleeds. £60 fucking quid each.

I will probably do my usual and find a couple of random seats in a better location on the day. Luckily at my age I get away with the senility/technophobe excuse if I get questioned.
 
Disgraceful home form for best part of a year
No South Korean Tourists
Cost of Living Crisis
Outrageous pricing structure

Not surprising that they are struggling to shift tickets

I don't see us having a compelling team for quite a long time , squad is rotten and we've got a conman and a wet lettuce running our football operation

But I also think the club will be too stubborn and reluctant to drastically alter the pricing structure any time soon , so I expect empty seats to become the norm

The football is dour, when we start playing well again that's when the fans will return. Our home form is the pits, up to the manager and these players to fix that.

Agreed , start playing something resembling football and people will come back despite all of the above being true

When does that happen though ? This squad has a crippling lack of talent

This whole season is going to be one long slog , we'll grind out some wins through set pieces and being reasonably solid at the back but it ain't gonna be pretty

I mean, they are never going to drop the prices. But imagine the good PR if they did. Can’t imagine it would go down well at the next PL meeting though. But fans across the country are getting screwed with the ticket prices.

I don't think we can get any worse now tbh, I think it will get better as the season goes on.

True, no way they’re ever going to drop prices across the board.
Look at the fanfare they make when the prices have “no increase” for a new season - they make out like it’s a DFS sale.

Under 25’s for £20 is the way to go. Sour stand only, weed out the ticket exchanger’s and silent sitters to another area of the ground

It’s a nice thought. But totally unrealistic for PL games.

Looking at Brentford their 18-24 pricing ranges from £55-35 around the stadium.

Cheapest £25 in the family area.
Which I imagine must have a great atmosphere
:avbnaa:

And that’s Brentford. Not Tottenham fucking Hotspur.
As a fanbase we are loaded, that’s well known.

We are but not to the extent that means we sell out every week

Thousands of unwanted tickets….. putting in a section of 2-3K u18-25’s for £20 would cost the club about £80K per game. Wow

Could have a huge upside on the depressing morgue and negative atmosphere

The price isn’t the issue. The football is.

We play better football we sell out matches.

You can’t sell premier league football at league one prices. The maths doesn’t math.

I don’t think we can sell out if we are competing for top 6. It’s way too much expensive and short sighted

Get some yoots in there, get some atmosphere - chuck that prick with the trumpet over the side of the south stand

More everyone who is over the age of 45 from the south standing areas
