This ends the debate re walk up prices 👍

For a one off game. The same as finals , there's no reason for our walk up prices to be amongst the highest in the country

Exactly this. Don't get me wrong £46 is a disgrace but you don't need to be a genius to work out why someone might pay that to see Boro play away at one of the biggest clubs in the world and not be willing to pay £30 most weeks for league matches.

There's obviously a wider debate to be had (and has been had many times before) about how much walk up prices affect attendances. Also got to bear in mind Nobby is just fishing as per.
 
Hearing already that folk are selling them at a profit. Absolute scumbags ripping off fellow Boro fans.

It's one thing paying over the odds from faceless online touts or outside a ground.

Yet being a Boro fan who's only purchased in the last 24hrs and selling at double the price is shocking

Not fishing Fiesta I like to see myself as more of a Devils Advocate on this one and I think my point is a valid one. People will pay virtually anything when they sniff a bit of sporting glory.
They simply aren't prepared to pay when it's midweek v Hull. That's why it's so important to protect the current pricing structure at the Riverside.....

And make sure there is plenty of space between home and away fans.....10,000 of them.
 
Does this put to bed once and for all the twenty is plenty slogan as I think

twenty is plenty unless you have a season ticket or are playing man united or any other of the so called big teams in the cup then 46 is acceptable

is quite a mouthful and may not fit on a banner

I know of at least 6 people ( in London) who were desperate to go to this game who haven't been to a home match all season. I am smiling at the fact that they are a bit disappointed to be honest. The regulars are favoured and that is how it should be.

Easy really, I'd rather pay an extra £15 to go to Old Trafford with 9500 other Boro fans than watch us play Reading

That's the crux of it, if the team are doing well people will pay whatever. When they aren't doing well it doesn't matter what the walk up prices are they don't come anyway....
Thanks

I remember many years ago when the mighty Boro got to their 1st major cup final when with Chelsea our opponents in the ZDS

The town was buzzing we had made the twin towers at last, we could lay the ghost of Robert Scaife been the only player to play at wembley wearing a Boro shirt & winning

Tickets went on sale & were sold out almost immediately with Boro fans who didnt have season tickets struggling to get they hands on the golden ticket, then not long after the final ticket was gone to 'genuine fans' adds started to appear in the gazette with a cup final ticket forsle going to the highest bidder, I was apaulled that someone from the Boro could do that to another Boro person & ended up phoning in to the Radio Tees late phone in & voicing my disgust

Sadly its always be the case & always will be
 
Once upon a time, as a ST holder, I would have paid a daft 'one off' price (more than once mind) to go to a game when the opposing team could see £ signs & wanted to cash in, so the last thing I would do is call people out for paying the ridiculous prices, for me, Man Utd show everything thats wrong within the modern game
