I remember it well. Only it was 10/- for a seat in the South Upper...Cheers, one less thing to worry about. Just need to get my COVID pass to work with my phone camera now.
Bring back the days in the early 80s when I used to rock up to the east stand turnstiles with £1.50 cash (yeh, cash, who remembers that) and get squashed through the gates by the Big Boys.

Whats the prices now then?
For those who don't understand the code, that's 10 shillings (50p) - or less than a dollar.
BEGINNERS' GUIDE:
LSD = Pound, Shillings & Pence
12d = 1 shilling
30 pence = Half a crown (two and a tanner)
240 pence = £1
£1/1/0 = A Guinea
...and don't even get me started on tanners, thrup'ny bits and farthings.
How long till Boris brings it back?
I almost said ten bob, but I thought almost everyone would have thought I’d lost the plot.
And don’t forget that 5/- was half a dollar. I think.
I still really miss the old coinage. On a Saturday, when we got our pocket money, my mate and I would go to Barclays Bank and get some 5 shilling bags of pennies. (120 old pennies in a 5/- bag, of course)
We'd sit on the town Car Park wall and sort through them. We knew what we were looking for.
When we found a penny that was worth more than face value (eg a good quality one from the 1800's, with Queen Victoria on it, or a rare date, minted at a particular mint, for one of the Edwards or Georges), we'd take it along to the coin/stamp shop and sell it to him. Saleable ones weren't uncommon!
Those were the days! Our current coinage has very little heritage.
Ha! Yeah I remember doing that too.
1912/18/19H and 1918/19KN minted at the Heaton and Kings Norton mints in Birmingham.
The amount of useless stuff that I can still remember. And the useful stuff that I can't...
Reading back, £5.49 for snake oil which was £4.50 iirc
Inflation's high on Planet Levy.
I am genuinely shocked he didn't massively bump season tickets up.
Haha - your memory's better than mine. I couldn't have remembered those details.
Not defending it but at some point it was £5. Steep increases anyway
I can remember 30p for adults and 15p for Juveniles in the enclosure.
Though Gamma was £5 (and worth it as it knocks you sideways)
I've emailed the club to see if the 'pie & a pint for a fiver' is a thing again this season.
Struggling to knock them out at current prices
You have to transfer it using ticket share.
