Season ticket prices.

Enjoy 007, up to you what you spend your hard earned on, you may even bump into the legend Ivor.

Our group has just added another ST holder in H6, about £950 which equates to £50 a game which isn't too bad.

Another newbie who'll be in line to enjoy the sparkling Hammy end bogs in its full glory!!

Funny how our FFC journey starts, our newbie has been to the grand sum of one game, the recent no show at Arsenal when we were awful. The madness that is following FFC.

I believe surviving the Hammersmith End bogs now forms part of the new ST holder induction course.

That's is correct, it is now mandatory and arched into the bowels of the culture at the hammy end.
It has become a badge of honour, whereupon to qualify you have to take and pass all the following exams/tests/ordeals, which includes Practical, Written and Oral Exams with a combined pass mark of 75%.
Minimum Written is 5%, Oral 10%, Practical 60%.

I dare not ask how the oral part of the exam works!

I didn't know the club are reducing the number of STs available. However, looking at the thousands of STs currently on general sale, I'm not sure that's an issue?

But I do agree about the new ST holder premium, it's far too high at £200 imo & I know people who've decided not to buy as a result.

I think the fact that there's loads of STs available suggests that they're priced too high?

I expect so & many people are short of cash these days.

The available STs are pretty poor seats excluding the Riverside.

Another factor for me is the ever changing kickoff times & the move away from Saturday 3pm.

Whether one agrees with the boards approach to ticket prices or not, they are not fools and I'll be very surprised if we don't have a lot of sold out games again this coming season.  Like it or not, football is big business and these guys are good at business.

The Riverside seems to be particularly popular with our American fans and the little club shops always have long queues for the shirts & scarves.

[Fulham Seaxe]

We are the only club in England other than maybe Arsenal that enjoys letting their club rip them off. If you tried to charge a grand and a half for 19 games of football at pretty much any other club in the land you would have protests, boycotts, social media campaigns and banners within a week, but no because it's posh old Fulham with our tourist stand we can get away with it. I don't care how plush the seats are or how good the view is, that's a rip off and before long those prices will start to seep into the other less premium areas of the ground.

Any time we play any of the big clubs these days half the ground is full of tourists who either support the big club or are just wanting to see a Premier League game. I started going to Fulham games regularly 10 years ago, the atmosphere has never been leading but it has become markedly worse in recent years and will continue to do so if we keep letting the club exploit us.

To reiterate my earlier point to the OP about spending his/her money on it - you're welcome to do so and if you feel that £80 per game is good value then by all means do. But do consider the wider context - not all of our fanbase (many of whom are younger and/or less wealthy and may be struggling to make ends meet in the current macroeconomic environment) can afford to spend that much money supporting their club, so by letting the club get away with it it is giving them the green light to push ahead and price out the rest of our fanbase in favour of the wealthy.

If i had a season ticket for my son and I at Plymouth (the nearest club to where I live now), that'd cost me £1056 to watch League one football. I have two in the Hammersmith End for £1350. So £300 quid more (£8 a game each) to watch Premier league football. I genuinely don't see that as a rip off.
Most of the season tickets at fulham are reasonable. But the headline prices of the Riverside get everyones' back up stirred up by the desperate media who are always on the lookout for a story of some sort.

Also, I had a season ticket for around 17-18 years until 2010. The last cost of that was £425. Cumulative inflation in the years between has been around 66% which amazingly is almost the same that my ticket has risen by.

I gave up on a season ticket a while back. Out of interest, I had a look at prices. Where I used to sit in the Hammersmith End is £953. I'd imagine that Plymouth actually have far better seating and facilities. Yes, Fulham are Premier League, but quite frankly I can't stand a lot of the PL clubs, their fans, or the media that big the stuff up. At least at Plymouth you would be putting money into something that is part of it's community. Not just another part of a billionaire's interests.

Without a billionaire interest there might not have been a Fulham for you to support.

I can't recall SK coming to the rescue in the 1990s
