Personally I do think £20 for a walk on ticket is a little too much, £15 is enough. the cost of catering in the fanzone is a little ott. I am sure people will say it compares with other clubs but the real answer is people are not coming in sufficient numbers to keep the gates open at this rate. Pricing needs to be looked at. Rovers in league one are cheaper than us most times. I do question why the cost of catering at all football grounds is so expensive.

The queues are very for food and drink so people are paying the expensive prices.
As for tickets, it is all about cashing in on away fans. Dropping prices loses money in the short-medium term, but may be better in the long term if the fan base can be grown. After ST sales which are cheap at £219, there are not many walks-ons.
