TWith travel there and back, a few pints and a bite to eat you'll see no change out of £80. Yet there'll be thousands of Rams going to the match, and a parent taking a kid or two is going to bump up the price a lot more. Pricing is a joke but the only way to bring these prices down is don't go. Saying that we all waste money on things we love!
They have devalued this competition that much in recent years that people are not going to pay that kind of price when they will in all probability be seeing the reserves or second string from the dominant club.With travel there and back, a few pints and a bite to eat you'll see no change out of £80.

Sounds like a planBit more than 80 MoP, but well worth it. £100 air fare, a tenner train fare to Stockport to drop my bag off at my mates. Into town with his son for an afternoon beer or three. Manchester return for the match. Wednesday, a day out in Stockport, Thursday afternoon a few beers in Manchester with some Soulie friends, Friday morning train to Brum where I shall be meeting some old friends from Burton and Derby for an afternoon of merriment. Fly back to the 'Dam and have a good rest ready to watch Derby via RamsTV on the Saturday. A good little break IMO. 4 full days. Total cost around 300 I reckon
Well MA if you can do that 4 day trip seeing your mates, ale, footy etc for around £300 you're onto a real winner! That's a real bargain! A win would be a massive bonus! Enjoy the trip!!!£300 for a 4 day break back home seems reasonable enough to me. Even more so should we win.

I was a big fan of the Cup vouchers and was incensed when they were removed from the season ticket quite a few moons ago. With the size of crowds we get now for this tin pot competition isn't it time they returned? Giving the opportunity to season ticket holders to see the game for free effectively when at home and then pay for games when the competition gets into its later stages. Either that or put a ceiling price for all teams in the competition on the price of a ticket for the games. Failing that a standardised price for the whole competition, including semi-finals and final?
MoP There is rip off everywhere in football I went to Hull for league match and got talking to chap in the row in front He was with his and to young boys one about six the other maybe eight He was saying because of work he wasn't sure he could make But found out pay at the gate on the day was on It cost him £120 because Hull charge £30 no concessions for kids They wonder why gates are droppingWith travel there and back, a few pints and a bite to eat you'll see no change out of £80.

Ram you are right it does have to be shared Anything above £15 for a Carabao cup match is an absolute rip off What annoys me is that Premier league teams are capped and not allowed to charge away fans more than £30 that's for top class football Man U have even got tickets at £43 for nothing cup match I will go but definitely will not but any food drink or memorabiliaThe problem with cup vouchers is that, that proportion of the season ticket money would have to be shared with the away team and the cup competition, I believe.
