Thought I might give Colchester United a look 16:00 - Mar 28 with 2148 views | _clive_baker_ | tonight. Not got plans, friend is at a loose end, big game for them against Grimsby. £31 for an adult ticket. Not sure what I was expecting but feels a lot for L2. |  | | |  |

I think my season ticket at PR is very good value. They might be at Col for all I know, but as a match day price £30 for an adult is wild IMO. That's not the posh seats either, literally all the seats on the side stands (end looks sold out). Its no wonder they get about 30 fans there. |  | |  |

I know of 3 local non-league clubs in our area nursing debt or on debt repayment plans. It's partly due to Covid too, as the non-league scene still hasn't really recovered since then. |  | |  |

Don't doubt that at all, football isn't the industry to make money, even in the PL in many cases. Does make me wonder if football ticket pricing is fairly inelastic. Given they get such small crowds you would think shifting them at £20 and getting lots of people in would be better, but maybe there isn't that level of correlation between price and attendance. Milk the loyal fans instead for what you can get. |  | |  |

The secret is to buy early you can gain entry very cheaply then, but of course many make a last minute decision and pay literally a high price! https://tickets.colchesterunited.net/Tickets/Resources/LeagueTicketPrices |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Thanks for that, I’m not normally organised enough to benefit from such things but good for future reference. Appreciate it. Bit the bullet tonight anyway, hoping for a good game. |  | |  |

We have three of our better players out injured tonight, Bishop, Iandolo and Tovide but should still put on a decent show although Grimsby are a tough nut to crack! |  | |  |
