QPR Say No to Town's Away Ticket Price Cap Proposal
Friday, 11th Aug 2017 16:42

QPR have confirmed they will not be taking part in the £25 reciprocal away ticket price cap initiative proposed by the Blues during the summer.

Rangers chief executive Lee Hoos told GetWestLondon: “The running costs of our stadium are substantially different than Ipswich and this price point simply doesn’t work.”

Town travel to Loftus Road on Saturday 9th September with the West Londoners in Suffolk on Boxing Day when their adult fans will be charged the standard prices for the upper tier of the Cobbold Stand - £30 and £35 - rather than the proposed £25.

Hull City, who visit QPR next weekend, are advertising adult seats in the School End Upper Tier at Loftus Road at £33 and £28.

Last month, Town announced that 12 clubs had agreed to the proposal at that stage with others considering it further.

Tomorrow’s opponents Barnsley and Birmingham City, who visited Portman Road for last week’s season opener, both agreed to the cap.

Now that's interesting.

As fans we have two choices, accept this and go still, or boycott and not.

A few years ago Schalke tried charging Dortmund a mere 4 euros extra per seat in the league for the biggest derby in German footy. Dortmund ended up sending back half of the allocation, despite the fact they could easily sell it 4 5 6 x over. However, they stuck to their principles.

Joke of a club, greedy b**tards! It cannot possibly cost that much to run that dive! Personally I agree with the people on here saying to boycott it. It's a terrible ground anyway, last time I went my chin was on my knees I was so squashed in! Is one game, boycott it and get the message across. It worked by boycotting season tickets (for the people that had the sense to do it) they clearly got worried and decided to spend some money, and Mick finally seems to have listened to the fans in the sense that we now appear to be stamping out the hoof ball tactics. Someone needs to put a stop to all this greed in the game!
