QPR on General Sale

[Matt]

History to repeat itself?

[The Doctor]

According to FFC, general sale tickets are only available in the Putney End.  FFC fans with a booking history should be OK to get tickets wherever they want

my next door neighbour who is a QPR ST holder has said a lot of theirs are not going because of the £50 price.

they've still managed to sell out their original allocation and 1100 more. 2700 officially according to their site.

Don't they pay that much for games anyway?

They do... There was a big fuss a couple of seasons ago when the previous regime hiked up the prices.

Seems like the club is asking for flashpoints. Sad to hear sales are poor for this game, the credit crunch really hitting some of our fairweather fans

Since Tony Fernandez took over their prices have dropped again. I know a couple of ST holders and they've been told they will get partial refunds.

This Tom Magee creation isn't as good as some of your others, very similar to Jezamy Bates. Try to be a bit more original next time  :046:

It is hilariously transparent

Thats right and also they are dropping the prices for away fans as well.
I have no doubt there will be a lot of QPR in the Putney end(where I sit) but it will just allow me more of a chance to gloat when we beat them.( He says, hoping that the club he loves will not him down like it has on many an occasion over the last 35 years)

Would be lovely to get a nice comfortable win and our first 3 points of the season. If we lose or draw, I think I'll need to go into exile for a couple of weeks.

£50 is too much for a newly promoted side, even if it is a derby.
I've been priced out of this one (as I'm sure many of us have) which is a shame because the club needs a good derby-day atmosphere and as many fans behind them as possible while we're not winning.
I'll stick to £10 Europa games.

The club are generally spot on with their marketing and ticketing but whoever decided to make this a catA game needs to take a long hard look at themselves. There`s no way in the world we were going to sell out QPR with those prices,not to mention the history between the clubs, we do it against Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal due to day trippers, tourists etc.
This could be an embarrasment for the club because can see there being only 20,000 or so there, im not even a season ticket holder or a member anymore and im getting texts from the club saying I can purchase 4 tickets, just had a standard letter too signed by club captain asking me to buy
I would love to go but I simply cant justify spending £50 when we`re struggling to make ends meet, cant afford it, end of, seems like  plenty in the same boat

[rhyspabsolom]

Me too. Maybe I'll reply and say that if he wants me there that much he could spare one of his tickets?
I suppose I could put up with sitting next to Mrs Danny for the afternoon.

im puzzled by the fact that so many of our fans are giving cost as a reason for not going sunday and yet those same fans will go when we play Man U , Chelsea or Arsenal !!!
Is it really a cost issue or is it because we are playing big scarey Queens Park Rangers ?
some of you need to be a bit more honest.

£50 is the most I would pay. I wonder if this was a response to the £70 we were going to be charged for the Loft? Anyone know now Fernandes is in what they will be looking to charge after his price reductions - most of which were transparent 'vote winners' ie free kids in one small part of the ground with a full paying adult etc.

A lot of supporters are not in a position to spend £50 and i don't think anyone should make an issue of this, if i was in that position (fortunately i am not) and had to pay £50 then i would rather spend it watching manuare, arse, chels and not qphahaha.

Or to quote someone on TIFF the other day..."I paid £50 for a ticket to see us in a European final.  Am I **** paying that to see us play QPR"

When you put it like that...

I'd rather see us play in a derby than against Man Utd (if costs are £50). That said, I think even £40 tickets are steep, which is what we paid for Utd in FA Cup few years ago.

well I'm worried about QPR fans as my season ticket is in the Putney end and i normally use the Hammersmith and City line to get to and Paddington. Not sure if i'm going or not but don't want to let Fulham down and also don't want to give in to QPR's potential thuggish behaviour
