MUFC FA Cup 5th Round ticket prices

[secks]

£45 is crazy, i'll be surprised if we even sell half!

[PieEater]

OUT!

Monday night at those prices oxf*rd that.

[Royal Prince]

OUT

Moving it to a Monday night seemed slightly inconsiderate to the travelling fans, but to now charge a whopping £45 for a cup game when it's on TV anyway.... who said the beautiful game was dying?

Humph

[Optimist]

Let's all have a boycott.

[St Pauli]

Will go for the league game but out for this.

Football isn't that good.

[RoyalTank]

Awful prices, but still in!

[Alexander Litvinenko]

Awful prices, but still in!

Which demonstrates how clubs get away with charging such prices ....

[SPARTA]

Reading FC couldn't give a toss what you all think about the prices or the game being on a Monday. They get 50% of the gate receipts and the TV money. That will cover two of our January signings in Carrico and Akpan.

[TheLawnMowerMan]

In.
At least it isn't £62

Not that RFC could control which game ESPN wanted to show on a Monday but never mind. Add in the fact that both clubs have to agree on ticket prices and you were never going to get Utd pitching at less than £40 for a game they can sell out at that price. Least we make a nice penny as a result

[Compo's Hat]

Does that mean it will be a ridiculous price should we somehow get a replay?

45% to each club, the other 10% to the FA Cup prize fund - but the same principle applies, there's no reason for RFC to argue on behalf of their supporters.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Pure greed and exploitation of loyalty.

But because Man Utd. have a compulsory cup ticket purchase scheme -where their season ticket holders have to buy cup tickets whether they want to or not - they have no incentive to reduce prices.

Disgusting pricing & utterly ridiculous decision to do it on Monday night. Absolutely out.

[JayRoyal]

Was in, but now I'm firmly out. I'd be in the £35.50 band but I'd have to pay about 40 for trains anyway, not doing that on a monday night, no way.

[Wimb]

Utterly utterly disgusting ticket price for a cup tie.

For £45 you could have seen our 3 previous home cup ties against Posh, Arsenal and Sheffield Utd ffs.

OUT

[Wimb]

my outrage has been tempered somewhat by the realisation that we charged United fans £36 back in 2007...

What am i meant to do, email the club and ask for a cheaper ticket?
If i want to go and watch the match then i dont really have a choice i have to pay the price the club set!

[Schards#2]

Was in for Saturday/Sunday, now out for Monday.

All very disappointing

It wasn't a personal dig, but while there are always people who are prepared to pay whatever it takes to watch a match, clubs will be able to charge ludicrously high sums.

Because you do have a choice - and that's not to go. Clearly the price is awful, but not *that* awful, which would be awful enough for you not to go.

[Blakey's Right Peg]

Someone tell Blackie he's not going.
