It was mentioned on the BBS that at Spurs they are stopping anyone that reaching 66 after this season from ever being able to claim OAP price for a season ticket (and for those 'legacy fans' who already get OAP price, they can only continue to get the OAP rate it in certain, less desirable, blocks of the ground)
At West Ham there are no OAP or child prices for matchday tickets (only for season tickets) meaning for a Cat A game against Man City, the cheapest child members matchday ticket is £50, or £55 for non members
There is work going on regarding concession prices via the FSA and the Independent Trusts and Supporter Associations coming together to address. We all agree this is not acceptable and without getting younger fans in there will be no fanbase for these clubs in a few years time but with all the tourists around they may not care.
It is sad that the clubs which were started by their communities are being priced out of those same communities in many cases. When I look at what some clubs have done re ticket prices (Fulham for example), I can't help but feel that we've been lucky at Palace with no increase this year. Be interesting to see what the season ticket prices are when the new stand is completed!
