@@martinladley What a ridiculous statement. Think about it. Weird.

@@robertpinson595ok then the atmosphere of PL teams will die and the product will get worse 👍 brilliant solution Robbo

That’s not really true, a club could have no fans and sell no tickets/merchandise and would still make TV revenue.

@@GG-xd9vc they lost 67 million this year how do you think they would survive if nobody is buying their tickets or merch?

In theory sure, but in reality we know that's not how it works from an economic point of view. Unless you unionize the entire supporter base of Wolves, people will continue paying rising ticket prices on a sliding scale - the richer you are the greater your capacity for example. If you don't pay, the theory is there is someone behind you who will. The owners are merely testing your capacity in the most callous and unsympathetic way because they are betting that most will pay it. They know you won't like it and will moan on TalkSport, but you will still pay it by the date it is due. If your point stood then fans would refuse to pay the prices en masse. But that won't happen. Just as we have seen with inflation with the cost-of-living crisis most people keep paying it until they are forced to seek an alternative or go without. We all complained about these higher prices but I didn't see any company feeling sorry for us and decreasing prices or keeping them stable. Only governments do that. That is the environment we are now in unfortunately.

@@thecountofmontecristo8280 You’re describing a free market economy. Everyone charges what the market will bear for their services. Supermarkets do. Phone companies do. The train lines. The airlines. The high street shoppes. Everyone. Welcome to adulthood.

​@@GG-xd9vcthat is true but also, the 3pm blackout is because the TV companies and clubs don't want empty stadiums.

Exactly we're being charged more and the product gets worse

FFP (at least partly) to blame.

@@wolvezyand more game moves for tv

Just as a comparison so you know, I buy a season ticket to watch my team (Adelaide) here in the Australian Football League - we have shorter seasons and less home games of course, but if I did a conversion to £, it works out as £17 per home game over a whole season. Not sure how that compares to Premier League memberships.

@wayneperry7413 Being an Everton fan living in Gloucester I can't afford to watch the blues full stop. I can't comment on our season ticket or matchday prices I'm afraid. Thanks for the comment. How much does a season ticket cost over there to watch Adelaide?

Totally agree, Look at the difference what they pay in Germany and other leagues compared to us

It hasn’t been a Wc game for 20+ years, The PL was the start of the rot IMO….

It’s better than it was before the investment

​@@jamesprynne1422 the corporate areas being done up is down to them wanting to make more money. One of the stands is quite genuinely on the brink of collapse

@@chesh184 mate I live in Reans someone was stabbed literally 3 hours ago right outside my house. You don’t have to tell me, but I’m telling you the high street has improved since 2010-11. Crime is rife tho but that’s everywhere

@@jamesprynne1422 damn. Stay safe

A salary cap would equalize the cheating clubs like Chelsea and prevent owners from making stupid contracts for worthless players while passing on the cost to the fans. Alternatively, form a Super League of Spurs, United, etc and let the small clubs like Villa, West Ham, Wolves go back to running their operations without competing with the elite clubs.

If you wanna pay league 1 wages expect to watch league 1 football

This hypothetical endless money that Newcastle have is irrelevant as it doesn’t help them in FFP so they have to generate actual football revenue through things like higher ticket prices. Without FFP Newcastle could afford to make all the tickets 1 quid or free.

@@TP-pq9xx under Ashley he give away free 10.000 tickets he could not sell. Man City and Chelsea have got away with it the toon can buy there way out of trouble

The fans ARE the club. They don't own it.

@@fredjenner Well said!

If they don’t like the performance, they can stop going and definitely not paying.

@@fredjenneryou’re the bot pal seen you on about 50 comments writing same BS 🤖

I've moved on to national league football far cheaper and friendly

Your right far too expensive today, but I can't imagine how terrible it must be in some homes, when clubs are asking for hundreds of pounds to watch them, not including travel, refreshments and programmes, to watch them. How is normal working class family supposed to cover the cost, when a family who has no Football Supporters in it are struggling. But they don't talk about what arguments this could cause.

Crazy how that’s not what they trying to cut

He’s going on Dragon’s Den with Neville

Supply and demand

There's not an infinite amount of fans in Wolverhampton. It's a city of less than 250k. Once they drain the waiting list. That's the end of it. The tourist fans that follow players based on nationality, leave when that player leaves.

@@MrSoulsFull They aren't going to "drain the waiting list" as long as they are still in the Premier league

@@mephisto40 yes they are. The fans are not putting up with this any longer. Jeff Shi is destroying the club. He won't invest in the team or the ground. There's a boycott going on now and most of the fan base is not renewing their season ticket. Me personally I am not renewing as I'm done with the club and the rigged EPL

You will be surprised.we did not sell out every game last season. The football is poor, ground is falling down, people will not pay and I’m one of them.

Interesting but, ultimately unappealing.

A cinema ticket comparison is fair enough, but how many people are going to see a comedian or a concert once a fortnight?

I agree & I think it is going to need to happen. I think it will happen when this new E.F.L deal starts next season comes to an end. The reason is that at that point, the only way left for them to get more money from T.V. in the U.K. will abolish the rule there literally will be no other option left, no more room left to manoeuvre because they only games we will not get from next season on sky in the E.F.L. is they kick off's at 3 on a Saturday afternoon every single other game will be live. The Premier League will be in the same situation when there deal with Sky & TNT Sports is up they are all running out of Toad to get more TV money they are very close to that class ceiling now T.V money wise & the clubs can see that now. Clubs are close to running out of new ways to generate extra income kits are now getting more & more sponsors on them aswell there only is so much space on them. So the only thing left to exploit for more money in the next T.V cycle after the one that starts next season is they games there will be nothing else left but that is 5 seasons time from next season. so the 28/29 season, I think the ruling will be gone.

Totally agree with this. Archaic. The Americans will get this updated.

Not gonna happen so ya next step is to get yourself a firestick and get it loaded

@@10Gresham < Fosun botting the post

Lol they deleted cause they got caught astroturfing the comments

Why does it matter to you if other fans wish to spend their money on match tickets? Why get worked up about it?

It's the point of a protest. You have to do it collectively and not go to games. Make a stand.

So don’t go

Football is a results business for managers and the board, for players it’s a pay packet but for fans it’s a case of being TOLD to be loyal. As you say, it’s a nonsense. My club has failed to win anything of note for the last 20 years having experienced the highs of top tier trophies. The standards have slipped but the prices keep increasing. Owners, players and the media demand fan loyalty even when the product is inferior. If your favourite drink started tasting like muck, you’d stop paying and you’d be called mad for continuing to pay for it. Why in football are fans expected to pay more for less based on nothing but emotion? 😂

new york islanders/rangers szn tickets are probably cheaper

@@v0LcaN_o___ islanders yea.. rangers idk.. dont watch hockey much. Either way makes more sense to compare to the NFL

@@CimbomFanFiction i prefer the nhl to any sport im a big lightning n stars fan along with Birmingham city n the buffalo bills

Sssshhh. You'll upset the emperor elephant. One day you will just have hordes of sponsored fan groups, maybe even genuine robotic automatons, filling stadia. Next years Champs league is a new dawn. the European super league is now here. Stealthily..........Grassroots will always be the lifeblood. The elite game has prospered well, though. And all things considered, ....it is a s*$%show.

£85,363,200,000 based off £80 tickets, 38 games a season, 12 European games and 12 cup games. If your team goes all the way and pushed that's what they would make. £1,778,400,000 for 38 games and 6 Cup games a season at £80 a ticket

So in theory that's £27,360 for the average fan a season

That's what you sign up for if you didn't have fans you'd have a worthless piece of trash club. The fans ARE the club.

I promise you Villa fans will be pissing and moaning in 24 months time.

Cupple of things I will say to you the wages are much higher in the U.S. on average. You get much more on a game day than we even get close to. Unless you are a Spurs fan or a Manchester City fan your match day or night looks like this Pub ( Bar ) for a few hours prior to kick off get in to The stadium as late as possible. More time in the pub, watch the game half time, grab some food as qick as possible then get back to your seat. Whare in North American game day or night is much more of an event. So our clubs want more & more money every season for basically just over an hour & a half's entertainment on game days. You're not on.

⁠@@alanfox691 American football is a far inferior product to watch and there is only about 10 minutes of action in an entire 4 hour game. This “all day event” is just some people getting drunk in the parking lot outside before the game. And there also is basically no public transport for any of the fans in America so they have to drive themselves which results in drunk drivers everywhere.

Why would anyone want to come to the inner cities of the US ?

Thats why you should create more teams or a 2nd tier! Market is too small....32 teams for a population of 350million. We have 92 league teams for about 60 million people. Thats why we dont need a mortgage to go to games

sort your economy out then

@@bettychillmore5920 grow up

So many different levels of professional football but it all gets filtered through one funnel. It's still great that we can enjoy it's beauty. despite the inevitable transitions and modifications. Jumpers for goalposts ain't never going away. Traditionally, pre season friendlies are cheaper than regular season prices, regardless of the oppo. Kerrrchinging occurs more frequently your side of the pond.

It cost me 9 quid to go cinema

Mate it's a gimmick. The club would survive without that extra million for one season. I'm not interested in winning trophies. They are my hometown team and I will support them no matter what. I can afford to pay the season ticket but on principle at what point does everyone not have a season ticket and they revert to a pricing model for tourists. Tourists don't create atmospheres like you have seen in previous seasons. Just think about that quarter final night in the fa cup. That will never be replicated if it is full of tourists.

you could always follow the biggest club in the midlands a la Birmingham city

How often do you waste your money going to the cinema every year, may I ask ? Nothing NMW about your life, it appears.

About normal isn't it? 30 quid to go watch championship

@@welshie1979 also a ripoff. Sky addicts pay for top tier football. Even with this vast subsidy from Sky etc the clubs manage to convince fans to hand over more money. Can't put a price on genuine passion, or not.

@@martinladley most clubs losing loads of money..players salaries have to come down surely

You should try this one out , eat before or after the game, no need to go and eat food at the ground,

@@Youafool500 I agree - don't buy the food at the stadium!!

Your talking pish. Eat before you go to the game, don't buy the extras like programs etc. Ultimately, Danny is right it's a luxury product if you can't afford to buy 2 season tickets then spend it on something else.

In Germany , clubs are owned 51% by the fans !!! But that's Socialism for you, which the Daily Mail has told you to hate .

@@mattkrywyj5184 no I didn't. Comparing prices of two completely different countries in completely different regions is irrelevant.

@@mattkrywyj5184he didn’t miss the point at all. He’s on the money. And talking of money, Wolverhampton has the second highest unemployment rate in the U.K.

Yes but you can watch more matches of our football for a fraction of the price on tv

Cheapest adult ST at Wolves is £735 not £250 (except a few hundred in a temporary, uncovered, scaffold-pole constructed stand that where the ST is £520

Fair point but the bottom line is Wolves season ticket holders for 40 years are being priced out. Only 3 London clubs (different economical environment) have lower-priced 'cheapest adult season tickets' than Wolves. Bare in mind Wolverhampton is the 11th most deprived city in the UK. People who take kids are now having to pay twice as much.

@@OldWolflad sadly that is happening across the league, and if Wolves are to have any hope of keeping up with the spending power of other PL clubs, these things have to happen.

Britain is greedy and also seen as MUGS, hence so many foreign owners lining up to buy clubs.

are you, like, American ?
