Town have the most expensive matchday ticket in the Football League, according to a BBC survey released this morning. The highest-priced seat in the Cobbold or East of England Co-operative Stand at a Grade A match costs £42.50.
The survey says the cheapest place to watch football at Championship level is Huddersfield United with their lowest-priced seat £10 compared with Town’s at £22.50. That price is for a Grade C ticket bought on the day, although, according to the Town website, the same ticket is available for £20 if purchased in advance of the match.
In terms of season tickets, according to the survey, Town have the second-highest-priced ticket at £745 with a seat costing £752 at Leeds the most expensive. However, the Town website advertises season tickets in "Premium seats" at £1,061, £816 and £894, although in previous surveys of this type the club has stated that these tickets are aimed at the corporate market.
At the other end of the scale, a season ticket for the lower Sir Bobby Robson or Sir Alf Ramsey Stands is £390, the sixth highest-priced cheapest season ticket at a Championship club.
In TWTD's annual survey, 83.22% of the 1872 respondents thought that last year's matchday prices were either "A complete rip-off" (20.67%) or "Expensive" (62.55%), this year's prices not having been announced when the survey was carried out.
As for this year's season ticket prices, our survey found that 60.58% believed they were either "A complete rip-off" (9.4%) or "Expensive" (51.18%).
The BBC says ticket prices across the board have risen by 11.7% in the last 12 months, well above the rate of inflation.
