Fulham is charging Man United away supporters 45GBP ($88), which is pretty outrageous. Manchester City away fans, meanwhile, were charged 25GBP ($48). Reason being is that matches at Fulham, and most Premiership grounds, are priced on a scale (i.e. categories). The bigger matches cost more to see, and it costs less to see “lesser” opposition.
On top of all of this, as I reported on Soccer Shout last night when I was the guest co-host, the Football Supporters’ Federation has launched a campaign encouraging you, the fans, to protest against the rising ticket prices for away matches. The organization wants ALL away tickets reduced to 15GBP ($29).
They’re encouraging fans to sign a petition, which then automatically sends an e-mail to all 20 Premiership clubs.
Sign the petition today at http://www.fsf.org.uk/petitions/away-tickets/
In the meantime, you can listen to the Soccer Shout episode from last night either from http://www.soccershout.com or under the “In The Media” section here.
