I cannot understand the reaction to the season ticket prices.
Why are people so pleased to be paying some of the highest prices in the world?
It seems that as long as you say 'in order to show our appreciation' people will lap it up like we've been done a favour.
Yes I'm still renewing, yes I can still afford it but many can't.
And people wonder why after the real fans are priced out we find ourselves overrun by the half and half scarves.
All to cover the cost of half a players wage! |  |

So what do you consider a fair price bearing in mind the clubs location, the level we'll be playing at and the facilities?
I would LOVE to be paying a fiver a game, standing on the terraces and 90p for a pint of Double Diamond but tempus fugit, tempus fugit.
I bought tickets to a concert which will last maybe two and half hours in Kew Gardens this summer... £55.00 plus booking fee thank you very much.
I've not been to a cinema in years but I hear upper end places can charge £18 these days and average still around £9.00
Not into the theatre but I think cheap seats to most shows are around £35.00 a pop plus the rip off booking fee
Went for a swim and a sauna the other day --- £16.00. I was shocked at that. Plus a pound for a locker and potential botulism
Market forces will get you in the end my friend.
I'm not exactly chuffed to be paying £23 a pop for a cramped seat watching Benny's Boys next season but do I think it's a fair price for a seat in a decent view area, in West London, in 2015? Yep I do.
I appreciate there's people out there who simply cannot stretch due to their individual personal economic circumstances and that is a real shame.
There's no blanket answer apart from free ST for all which is almost where you're coming from.

How do they compare to the rest of the league? I imagine we're the most expensive or not far off it which is a bit of a pisstake IMO.
What will the walk-up prices be? £30 for 'gold'?
There will be some disgruntled punters if we are struggling, which realistically we will be. I think these are the highest prices possible without being an outrage. | | | |

Sadly it's a sign of the times as said above. We're not in Germany and we're not in Blackburn. The gold season tickets are just over £20 a game and the silver ones just under that. That's really not bad in the modern game.
Yes we're expensive by Championship standards, but the Championship is full of clubs like Blackburn, Leeds, Derby, Sheff Wed etc who have 25,30,35,40,000 seats to fill and are in parts of the country where the economy isn't as strong, the take-home isn't as high, and prices of goods aren't as high so their season tickets are going to be lower than ours.
And yes, all British football tickets are expensive by European standards, but that's not a problem exclusive to QPR.
Personally I think once you go over £30 you're taking the pis for a football ticket, but we haven't done that here. |  | | |

I can agree with the OP certainly. I think people are mostly pleased with the prices 'cos they've not stayed the same as last year. My ticket is Bronze (obviously) and therefore the cheapest in the ground, but I'm still umming and ahhing over whether to renew this season. No matter how you look at it, it still is expensive. Never used to be this expensive to follow your team, but that fecking Hillsborough report and fallout (not to open a whole other can of worms) has a lot to answer for. Even if we ever went back to terraces (never happen sadly), ticket prices would still be stratospheric as the clubs have seen most mug punters will swallow hard and pay the price.
Sadly, the only way this is gonna change is things are gonna get even more expensive. |  |

Probably something like similar clubs with similar locations, level we'll be playing at and the facilities. But a casual glance at Fulham Brentford and Crystal Palace shows that we are not getting that. Not even close.
We are out of sync with the rest of football which is why it is our away attendances that are in the triple figures but not the other London teams.
25 quid for a game of championship football is just about acceptable.
25 quid for a game of championship football purchased in a 23 game bulk buy is not. | |

It's not £25, it's less than £20 in silver and only just over £20 in Gold. | | | |

My mate's a Fulham season ticket holder and his season ticket, for a similar area of the ground, is £449. Exactly the same as mine. | | | |

NorthernR we're expensive by Premier League standards. We're absolutely extortionate by championship standards.
Charlton aren't in Germany nor Blackburn and they are charging £150.
£150.
The cost to the club of lowering all tickets by as much as £100 is no more than £1 million.
We spent £17m on Shaun Wright Philips.
What truly pisses me off is that this has been presented as a thank you. A gift. | |

It's 26 for Platinum 22.5 for Gold 19 for Silver. Say the average ticket is about 22 pounds. | |

If you are buying Platinum then you are not worried about the cost of your ticket. Prices are very reasonable. Well done to the club. | | | |

I honestly don't think that's too bad, but I totally agree with you about the cost of knocking another £100 off relative to the extortionate amounts we give to mediocre players, and about our prices relative to other London Championship clubs.
Plus, I like you on here, you make me look cheerful  | | | |

Add in the price of a kids ticket which as a renewal in silver is only £89 less than the price of two Xbox games and it's bloody good value, I have done a complete u-turn on whether to renew or not, the only difference being is I will miss a game or two if necessary, something I wouldn't have dreamed of a season or two ago. |  |

I wonder how many people moaning about the ST prices also want us to stay at Loftus Road. Last year in the Championship 11 teams had an average gate bigger than LR's capacity, add to that Reading, Birmingham, Charlton, Bolton and Blackburn who all have bigger grounds than us it is little wonder our ST prices are above average. | | | |

Only if you renew. Not if you are a lapsed ST holder. And walk up prices will be even worse. |  |

Maybe I've missed it, and I guess only a handful of people will be affected, but I haven't seen anyone point out that ST general sale prices are up around 30 quid on what they were last time round at this level. |  | | |

Its only right that the glory hunters who only come flooding back to see us win a few games in a lower league should get punished in the pocket.
Where were they when we were sh:t last season?  |  | | |
