£24 for an adult in the Kop. Not sure of prices in the rest of the ground. I agree looked more than 28,000! Does this count people paying at the turnstile?

Yeah same in the main stand too. Yep defo looked to be more than 28,000.

A third of the Anny road was empty and there were loads of empty seats in the main stand. 28,000 seems about right.
Agree it should have been cheaper though. The reality is that most people know we were going to put out a team of ressies and squaddies (which is exactly how it should be) so for a low profile match there were always going to be empty seats.
well that is a bit of a reduction, But I do agree that for the CC matches we could reduce them more to get the family/kids
I think that is probably the way actually to offer reduced tickets to school groups and/or famalies as a way to get bulk groups with young people into the ground. The same phenomena is happening in a lot of grounds (see Newcastle last night). The trouble is that if you simply reduce prices it requires that you risk not getting a reduced revenue level but for more people when a lot of people aren't that fussed about the Carling Cup.
Arsenal can afford to experiment as they have hugely increased their stadium revenue streams we however haven't and risking what we have would seem like a bad idea I suspect to those in charge.

£24 for a lot of people is a **** load of money to watch the reserves against Crewe on a cold night during the working week.
£10 for adults and £5 for kids is more reasonable.
Football prices in the UK are a joke.
What a great opportunity missed by the club. This type of game should have been the perfect chance for many local kids who maybe cannot afford to go to matches to watch their team for a fiver or tenner at most. It would have been a nice gesture.
I only have to commend Arsenal for their pricing structure for CC games.
The reason for our high prices is here though:
44,000 x £10 = £440,000
28,500 x £24 = £684,000

£15.55 then. Although there's not saying it would be full at that price without a lot of marketing.

That's a bit simplified though isn't it? What about merchandising, food/drink etc. The fuller it is the more they are likely to sell of that stuff.
