Err in a word, NO, Fulham fans will be used to paying that amount and more for a premier game never mind an FA cup game. I also reckon that the home end will be well attended as well..............off to get my 2 tickets first thing tommorrow. :D:theband::D

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

I haven't done any sort of research on the matter...but if memory serves........

I think I'd agree with the initial post that it's the F.A. who regulate the ticket prices for the games.

I think It may also be that the gate receipts from the game are split three ways, a third each to both clubs and the F.A. retain the other third.:confused:

I don't know how, or if this may apply with any T.V. income but I'd imagine it's on a similiar line as the gate receipts. After all, the F.A. have to raise the income for their prize monies, but I suppose with respect to ticket costs, I'd assume it's a case of the higher the profile of the cup tie (i.e. the further the club progresses in the competition), then the higher the cost of admission........:confused:

I may be wrong and if so I will stand duly corrected:D

However on the gate receipts front, then after feeling our may chance have gone after the Barnet drawn game (Ref & all!!) a full house on Saturday will result in more cash going into the club's coffers aiding the club in it's efforts to get financially solvent, the extra few quid in my eyes is well worth it, especially if it results in being able to keep hold of our rising stars and strengthen looking to move on and up League Two !!!:D

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

I think for FA cup games that if one team is from the premier league they get 40% of the gate the non premier league team get 50% and the F.A. 10% after the 2nd round. I,m sure I read this somewhere. I,d gladly pay 20 quid to watch the game on Saturday.

Fulham took 150 to ewood last week and I believe thats pretty impresive for them so I hope with the travel costs etc they bring more than that. Great for Stanley to be in 4th round though.

20-01-2010 07:46

Re: officially the most expensive game at stanley

I suppose the club have to maximise the take from Fulham's seemingly guaranteed 1200 supporters. Anyway, what the heck difference is the extra on our usual prices? A couple of quid for concessions, max of 7 quid for seniors? Bloody hell its less than a round of drinks for a fantastic occasion! The Crown should be bursting at the seams!

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

I can't remember how much i paid to see PNE at Peel Park all those years ago but I don't have the option of waiting for another 50 years to watch Stanley play the 'big boys'. £20 is steep, but it's not as steep as the £80 in petrol it's gonna cost me to get to and from the match. Scrape it together somehow, you'll remember this £20 worth for the rest of your life.

I was pointing out that it's not the FA that set the prices ;)

I'm sure all Stanley fans will pay it, but as has been pointed out Stanley rely on neutrals to boost the gate. My daughter is a Burnley season ticket holder but goes to nearly all Stanley home games using her own spending money. Her spending money normally covers her admission price, she has now been priced out for Saturday. I can understand the club wanting to capitalise on the game, not sure though that Fulham are big enough opposition to make people shell out that bit more. I hope I'm wrong. :rolleyes:

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

Wow this has caused a massive reaction. Personally, I will pay the £20 to see my team in the 4th round (assuming I can get off work). But I can also see the other side of the coin. My own view is that we will get the diehards (1200) plus quite a few add ons from Blackburn and Burnley and surrounding districts. And don't forget the extra costs from things like Policing the game, extra stewards, coz I am sure Mick is going to need them. Also, Fulham fans have stated on this board and their own that tickets for them are going fast and they will be bringing 1200 approximately. I think we all need to stop looking through rose coloured specs and realise, this match is against the big boys (9th in the Premiership) not some little backwater team from Surrey.

Just noticed with merged threads that Fulham are charging £10 for over 65's and concessions, wonder if Stanley will do the same? Might just ease the pain for some of our supporters.

i aggree if they kept the price at 15 they would fill the ground to capacity but being GREEDY again not knowing the people of accrington trying to get that extra 5 er will see 1-2k not comee to the ground if they do the maths they must see this .....or as usual the people running the club think weve drawn a premiership club (whos travelling fans may top 150) so we can charge more

GET A GRIP MANAGEMENT TAKE A LOOK AT ACCRINGTON AND USE YOUR LITTLE BRAINS AND SEE WHAT YOUR DEALING WITH . YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO GET GREEDY

Come off it - it's a massive, one off, once in a lifetime David v. Goliath affair with all the magic of the F.A.cup. I know your Premiership sophisticates often play weakened teams but that doesn't make the gap any less huge. Even if we manage to pull off an unlikely upset I expect our next home league gate will be back to around normal, but this is something special and the atmosphere should be terrific.

I dont know why they didnt go the full hog and charge £35 with the attitude displayed, with the opposition being a "premiership team". For most it is the magic of the fa cup and stanley being in the 4th round not playing Fulham FC. Would the pricing of been the same if we had drawn brighton or notts county ?

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

this is a golden oportunity to get fans to the ground and if the management had any marketing experience at all they would use this oportunity to get bigger gates in the next round like some options... buy a ticket for the fulham game and get the next league game half price and then you could have increased the amount alittle you would have the cash in the bank then .... or maybe offer a draw to win a season ticket (s) for the rest of the season if you come to the fulham game and pay say £17... there are lots of options to increase the crowd but no one at the ground has any sort of marjketing experience (or don't use it if they have) to see the opotunity of a bigger gate and put offers together for future games come on stanley management you think your running a club its the one of the biggest names in football use it to promote the club put the club back on the map.

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

Just a quick note to all Stanley fans ... well done on last night & Fulham have already sold over half allocated tickets (available so to STH only) in less than 24 hours, the rest are over subscribed & will be snapped up well before they go on general sale. We will without a doubt be bringing a full allocation. 15-200 fans to places like Blackburn on days other than Saturday are one thing (especially with the outlay we've had going to European matches both home & away - we took a huge following to Switzerland for the Basle match) - and quite frankly Blackburn/Burnley away in the league is a pretty dull proposition. Accrington Stanley away in the cup however is MUCH more appealing & we'll be there in force ... some non season ticket holders are already seeing if they can get a ticket in home areas!!

JEFF	20-01-2010 10:22

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

The prices charged have to be agreed between both parties (Stanley and Fulham) and if Fulham want the prices to be £20 and £10 then so be it. So don't just blame Stanley, it is not just Stanley's decision. They cannot just do what they want. The gate money is split so I would imagine that Stanley and Fulham both want to get as much as they can from the gate.

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

it still doesnt take it away from the fact the club is trying to exploit the supporters so why not offer an incentive to come back and for all those paying to come they get the option of at least winning a season ticket or 2 maybe for next year ... make it interesting for people to come back to football "give a little you get a hell of alot back" a saying i will always rememnber in business and it Bloody works

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

Okay people so the price is a little steep compared to what we normally pay, however, lets put this into perspective here.

The ticket prices in the FA Cup are usually set by BOTH teams agreeing on a pricing structure per game. As earlier stated 42.5% of the takings (after expenses) go to each team, with the rest going to the FA.

Our prices are the lowest offered in league football at £13-£15 adults, £10-£8 concessions, £6-£5 students and £1-Free for Under 12's.

Fulhams league prices against Aston Villa (team searching for European Football like Fulham) next saturday are
£35-£45 for adults, £25-£33 for concessions and £15-£20 for Juniors dependant on where you sit.

So in essence Fulham play 3 times as much for their football than we do.

The fairest way of pricing this game would be to split the difference between the two sets of prices which would have meant us paying approximately £30 per adult ticket and between £12.50 and £20 dependant on your concession.

I think on this basis that credit is due to those who set about sorting the pricing structure for the game (both Stanley and Fulham) for getting it down to £20 and £10!!!

Yes I know its a bit steep from our point of view, but its nowhere near as costly as it could have been, and as someone mentioned earlier in the thread, if we were Rochdale fans we'd be paying this every week!!! And before someone says 'yes but we're not Rochdale', too right we're not Rochdale, for one they are not in the 4th round of the FA cup!!!

The other good thing about that price is it gives a better chance of the Fulham fans fulfilling their quota. Their ticket price is the same as ours and for season ticket holders their coach travel is £20 adults and £10 Juniors also, meaning that for many of them its cheaper than going to the Villa game next week and they have the added opportunity of experiencing REAL FOOTBALL again and partaking in a bit of nostalgia to boot!!!!

I know that its likely to price a few non regulars and maybe even a few regulars from our side out, but this is the first time we've seen the FA Cup 4th round in over 51 years!!! And lets face it, it may be some time before we're here again!! Its a glorious one off game against an opposition we are unlikely to meet again for some time. Don't get me wrong I'm as skint as the next person who has no money to spend on frivolous purchases, but this is one frivolous purchase I am not prepared to miss.

Given our recent skirmish with HMRC, I for one am more than happy with the price of the tickets for saturday.

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

lets also put it in perspective you are visiting one of the smallest grounds in the football league with standards that are not that of Aston-villa or Fulham so get that in perspective and realise you are not going to an all seater ground you are standing up some incovered etc get you rose tinnted glasses off and see it from the people from Accrington not the cities around the country these are working (hopefully) people who have little or enough money to spend and to be asked for a hike in money to go to watch, yes thier local team and fulham compete in a staduium like the crown is rediculous and blinmkered on all concerned behalf i am all for increasing the crowds at stanley and hope they do well but please look at this realistically and take nothjing away from the football side they are doing well the club management need to get their heads out of the dark arses and see that the catchement area for accrington is not like those of aston villa dna fulham be realistic for god sake

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

I know we are not aston Villa, all I'm saying is that Fulham could have pushed for a much higher price given their standard ticketing prices for craven cottage (who knows, they may have). I remember a a similar thread to this on the old message board when we put the prices up to play Huddersfield in the 3rd round a few years back, and I actually agree that we would get more on if we could charge our normal rate, but I would imagine that it was just not possible for that to be an option.

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

Tickler, you are obviously upset about the pricing decision, and you are continuing to use quite strong language against the "management" who have got their heads stuck up their "dark arses".

Firstly, I am very sorry that you feel so strongly about the pricing. However, I can tell you with absolute certainty that the decision was NOT taken in order to gain advantage. The very fact that you are throwing around these accusations is very sad. Secondly, you have got many of your facts very wrong.

I have thought hard about posting on this subject, but given your continued use of abrasive language against the club, i thought I should step in. The decision to price this game was not taken lightly. At the end of the day, we took the decision, cautiously, based on the very significant increased costs of hosting what we believe (and hope) will be a large crowd with the visit of a team that is currently 9th in the Premier League. Those costs include all the obvious things such as security and safety. I would also say that "taking advantage" of the town is something that does not even occur in our thought process. Yes, you are right, our surrounding area is not comparable to the towns you mentioned. However, we are a community club, and we hope that most people will realise the unique nature of the circumstances, and afford us a little slack. The club has been through an incredibly hard time this past few months, and i would finish by appealing to you all to be positive about the weekend. Its a great occasion, and one that will be remembered for a long time. Come with a smile, and a skip in your step. And if, like you Tickler, you feel aggrieved, then please dont let that affect the occasion for the players and fans who are coming along.

Lastly, if you really feel strongly about this matter, then come talk to me. I am always always accessible. if not at the ground, then PM me and i will give you a buzz. Its just not right that you are throwing around accusations that on this occasion are not justified.

Other than that, good luck to all. And see you all on Saturday !!

If they only miss the Fulham game then your right, but at the risk of alienating people.

If Fulham have made strong representation that the prices should be higher then is it right for them to dictate, their fans are getting it on the cheap, although not as cheap as their 3rd round match at home :rolleyes:

I wonder if the prices go up in Harrods at Christmas because of seasonal demand ? :D

Sound explanations from Sparkie and Ilyas. Thanks both.

Just a thought but didn't we set a precedent for this when we beat Gateshead who were then in a league above us? And wasn't it a sell-out?

And wasn't Becky's hat-trick worth every penny of it?

Maidenhead White

20-01-2010 11:27

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

From a Fulham perspective (at least I speak for the majority of long term supporters)

1) We're delighted to be paying just £20 a ticket
2) We're delighted to have the opportunity to stand on a proper football terrace in a traditional old ground that promises to make up with lack of 'facilities' with genuine character.

Given the chance of paying double that price to sit in a soulless, characterless new-build premiership stadium (perm any from about half the league) - I think that I can safely say that most will forgo the dubious 'comforts' provided in those instances & have a 'proper football day out'.

Hence why we'll EASILY sell our allocation for the Cup game & maybe only take a couple of hundred to a midweek dour & dull EPL away match. Don't forget we're one of the few Premiership clubs who still possess a p[roper ground - even if all seater has been forced upon us ... so we (or at least the long term, hardcore support) appreciate 'old skool' grounds more so than the usual Premiership prawn sandwich mob.

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

£20 or not, it looks like I might be having trouble even getting a ticket with the latest decree that it's cash only and season ticket holders have to pick up tickets before Thursday. How's someone supposed to do that if he's at work and lives five hours away from Accie?

Pendle Red

20-01-2010 11:45

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

short & sweet
at £20
not many neutrals will turn up
a few of the faitful stanley fans will stay away just simply because of the price given the number of games coming up

it is history in the making
Fulham will hopefully sell out their allocation

I will pay the price but I have every sympathy for those that won't, maybe quite a few missed chances here to regain the lost generations and encourage them back?

Short space of time to plan is probably the most crucial point to make for the Club but is it:

glass half empty or glass half full?

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

Judging by how many games Ilyas gets to he is probably paying 20 a game this season. By 20 I mean £20,000. If you want Stanley to survive and prosper you have to pay for it and when an oppertunity comes along to help the club along you have to take it.

The truth is the £13 is heavily subsidised every game as the true cost by dividing the cost of running the club by each spectator interest would I suspect make the price about £25.

Re: Ticket News -V- Fulham!!

stanley mad - I will miss you on saturday.

and you know what - I really agree with you about the possible effect of a £15 vs £20, but as I said above, I really and honestly can say that the club went through a lot of thought before getting to £20 as the final figure. Its a decision that, next time around, might be different, but for now, I would encourage you all to avoid thinking that we somehow tried to get a better price in order to benefit from the gate and the game.Its simply not true.

I probably dont need to say this, but stanley, right now, is not a business, and whilst saturday is going to be great for many many reasons, the club requires large scale hand outs to remain viable. At the end of this season the many changes to the club infrastructure etc will have to be managed, and as I think i have said on accy web before, at some point in the coming few years I am really hoping that a combination of the way the club is run, the facilities and the footy on the pitch will mean that we get back to the healthier crowds we all wish for. all of this will require cash, which the club does not have, and wont have just because of saturday's game. What will happen though is that we can bring in the right crowd safety and security, as well as comply with the extra requirements that are incumbent upon us with the generosity that will be shown by those who do pay the extra fiver.

again, stanley mad, I will miss you this weekend

Why offer inventives to attend the Fulham game ? Don't you think that the team qualifying for the fourth round of the FA Cup for only the fourth time in their history and for the first time in over 50 years is incentive enough to attend the game. As Ilyas has said the expenses for staging the game will be higher with policing costs, extra stewards etc.

I bet most supporters of clubs with all seater stadiums would give their right arms to be able to experience the Clayton End atmosphere at their club.
