| Cost of entry to PR in days of yore 12:16 - Aug 21 with 466 views | BOjK |
I've been wondering:
How much did it cost to get into PR the last time they had terracing ('92)?
Similarly,
When was the last time an adult could - on matchday - get into a normal match at PR for a tenner (discounting offers, cup matches etc).
Anyone got any guesses? [Post edited 21 Aug 12:21]

Sorry to dissapoint, I dont know, but I did read the other day that, since the premier league started, players wages have risen by 1500%. |  | | |

I am sure it was around the £8-£10 mark in 92 div 2 winning season.
I am also pretty sure when my Dad first started taking me and my brother it was £ 1.50 for Dad and 75p for kids. |  |

At a guess I'd say the ticket for a tenner would be mid to late 80s. |  |

Your last paragraph is consistent with my recollection. I vaguely remember cost of entry being £1.10 for children and £2.20 for adults and thinking they must have just put the prices up from £1 and £2. That would have been 83/84 ish. | |

In 1991-92 it was £4 for an under 16 or £6 for an adult in both North and Churchmans.
I remember because the 50% uplift was a significant factor at times that year. |  |

Ok.
I was talking 1981-82 so my £1.50 Dads and £0.75 kids sounds about right. | |

I would imagine that figure is the lowest paid player in 92 compared with the highest paid player now.
Still a fair old whack though! |  |

Somewhere, I have the letter from the Junior Blues around 1985 which had ticket prices listed on the bottom at £2.50 for adults. I remember noticing it about 10 year later and thinking it was amazing.
Again, that would seem to be consistent with your comments. | | | |

It's the disparity between the average national wage and what footballers earn that shows the greatest contrast. I can't remember the statistics though it was something like five or six times greater in the late 80s for First Division players. | |

So when did it become a tenner?
93? 94?
I think it went up a reasonable amount when the seats went in. | |
