Sat Jan 06, 2018 12:01 pm

£25 for me and my son today(both season ticket holders).Theres been great deals all season to get fans to go but I don’t think that’s a great deal for us season ticket holders.

It was £10 and £3 yesterday.

Cost me 12 with the booking charge, I think that's more than reasonable but a fiver a man would be decent if you ask me. :thumbup:

It all goes towards paying players wages from 5000 to 10000 a week.

Its been advertised for ages the the prices would be higher on match day.
I paid £13 yesterday for me and my son. Something seems wrong if you paid £25.

Bit of a sad response to be fair, as you agreed your season ticket conditions when you bought it pre-season. The club have done their bit by charging only £10 for adults/£3 for kids and there are still costs involved in putting the game on

We're either City supporters or we're not! The FA Cup is still a big event in the footballing calendar (see the clamour for tickets for the 2008 Final for evidence) and if you're not going because it isn't a 'freebie' rather than other (probably the case) reasons, then I find that disappointing! :(

Malaga give all cup games free as well.
They don't do match day programmes now, but when they did, they were free and you picked one up at the turnstile.
British football is now all about making money unfortunately and its us fans paying for it whilst the players earn millions a year.
I blame the fans for paying.

Great British football fan always eager to shell out.

However, hope everyone as a enjoyable day

Re: Not that cheap today.

Look I’ve paid for my tickets because I want to go,I’m just a bit surprised at the price.I don’t think they should be free to season ticket holders but why have a cut off deal yesterday.
The club have been doing deals all season for non season ticket holders (£5 for Leeds) and as some forum members saying virtually giving them away.
Doesn’t seem an even balance to me.£25 for 2 today or £10 for 2 against Leeds.

The club owed you nothing; it was a chance you took...like the rest of us! :roll:

As I said, you're either a supporter or you're not and the club are not at fault charging £10 today! ;)

Enough is enough you greedy bast... enough is enough

But hey like I said your hard earned money goes to a good cause. The hard up footballer needs to be subsidised by the me the cash cow

Cardiff City are losing money. You either pay to watch football at a decent level or you haven’t got a club. The other alternative is that you get non league football. I’m sure that will be cheap. Most of the money is going into footballer’s and their agent’s pockets, not to the ‘greedy’ owners.

We have no say in cup competitions with tickets for people who are going to slate the club on this one, out of our hands.

Paid 15 for me and 5 for my son today

Didn't go, didn't watch, begrudge the players their wages, slagging the club you pertain to support and slating fans who get off their backsides...

Hmmm, I think you're following the wrong sport, fella and today (thanks to your non-attendance) you weren't even a number! ;) :roll:

£12 whichever way you look at it, it was definitely £12.

Which clubs are those exactly? Do you have any examples?

Do they charge away fans nothing as well? How do they share out the gate proceeds with the away team when there are no gate proceeds?
