I assume you're not going then?

Nope.
This is the problem though, Levy could charge £40 a ticket and we'd still sell 30,000 so in his eyes there isn't a problem. I get supporting the team through thick and thin but there has to be a point where it's gone too far in terms of costing.

Not sure what would happen if Europa League football comes back to the Lane. 20-30k crowds max at current ticket prices. Would really lose out on the CL money.

He has to see it coming from statements he’s making. Tighten the belt is the usual Levy way. We risked big money in the summer and it’s not paid off at all to date

It is what it is though.

Family 4xTickets for this cup game are cheaper than me buying the family ticket package and watching Stevenage Boro play Oldham next Tuesday. Puts that into perspective.
Only difference is could be home by 10pm and spend about £60 less on travel and food If I stay local.

But we struggle midweek for these lesser games as the ground is a real journey to get to for a lot of our fans now. A lot have moved out of London and rely on trains etc and taking time off work.

Fair play to those who go to watch Spurs play Middlesbrough Tuesday night. The hardcore.

Completely agree.
The ticket price is one thing but the cost of actually going to the game is so much more.

I've spent a grand on my season ticket but every game is an additional £50-£70 in train fares, food, drink etc.

So when we get given an extra game that we have to play on a cold midweek in what is typically the hardest month of the year (financially), charging more than the original fixture cost is just downright wrong in my opinion.

Not that the club cares...we're all just numbers.
 
£20 ain't too bad for fuck sake.
Don't think people can moan too much either about travel for home games, they chose to either move away or support a team miles from where they're from.
Got to say though, some of our top top support are northerners/midlands, top fellas.

Bang on

I’ve stopped going the last few months , I don’t enjoy watching this team at all anymore but I would still be going week in week out if the prices were justifiable

I mean the cheapest ticket for Brighton at home was the best part of 50 quid

It’s obscene

The club cares. It's Levy who doesn't!
