i dunno, 45 quid a ticket isnt that bad, its what you would have to pay to go to Arsenal for example.

if we draw united in the cup, i reckon the tickets could be 65 quid and we would still sell them all

would want more than 5k though

I think we will draw Man Utd in the semi final for no other reason than they nearly always draw the weaker teams and unless Palace get through that will be exactly what we are. Having said that any of the teams left would do well not to underestimate MM and this team as I'm sure we not roll over for anyone.

MM, the players and the fans have been fantastic during this Carling Cup run and no doubt over a 2 leg semi final the club will earn approaching £1m when you include TV monies. That is a massive boost to our club financially and a fantastic boost to us fans to know whoever we get our manager and team will prepare properly and give us fans a real spectacle.

I bet VT has a big smile on his face this morning. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

when we had a replay at the emirates in the FA cup few ears ago, 30 pounds i think. they can f**k off if they think i'd pay 45. not that i'll be getting a ticket anyway cos i'm only an AT member with no LC games this season

i went to the chelsea FA cup match a few years ago though i cant remember how much it cost. 45 quid is a lot, sure, but if i can get a ticket ill be going! :ayatollah:

They only average about 11k at home. Not dissimilar to QPR last season.

Very poor

It is expensive but I would certainly pay it, no point pretending I wouldnt.

Palace are well within there rights to ask for more tickets. 15% has to be given. £45 a ticket yes its a rip off and its a Premiere league rip off, but remember Man City charged the Jacks even more. We are helping pay for there overpriced players wages and as from next season teams in the Champions League have to balance the books or they cant enter. So you watch the prices rocket then. :evil:

I thought both clubs come to an agreement on the ticket prices ... :?:

How much do you think they'll charge us at home for tickets against Man City, Man Utd/Liverpool?

Re: Man U rip off !

I hope it's not that section Wales were given when we played there against England a few years ago.

I was near the top and it was so high up, it was like watching the game through a post box slot. It felt detached from the rest of the ground and was hard to get much of an atmosphere going.

Man City or Liverpool would be much better for atmosphere but we'd have more chance against Liverpool.
