'Dynamic Pricing'

[StanSP]

Seen it with Oasis, now football clubs getting on to it. 

Valencia using it as a way to charge more for fans just because they might buy a ticket later than someone else? 

 

How long before our club see it as another way to fleece fans, loyal ones at that?

The pricing is so dynamic they always set a minimum price that is already expensive. 

 

Our club will love this if it takes off.

 

£45 a game until the dynamism kicks in.

Absolutely horrendous if this is brought in. I don't agree with it at all. Absolutely disgrace that it was done with the Oasis tickets too.

[Finnegan]

We need to take a leaf out of the Bundesliga fans' book if they try this here.

 

As in, marches in the streets and fall scale boycotts.

Would only work for the big games. Can't see people paying significantly more for Fulham, Brentford, Bournemouth etc. And no chance in the Championship next season.

[Nalis]

I prefer an apathetic pricing model personally

[Raj]

I'd just stop  going if they tried any of that sh1te 

[urban.spaceman]

Can we go back to the days where you had to queue up physically with other people, paid the same price as the person who'd be sitting next to you, and get a physical ticket you can keep as a souvenir?

 

Dynamic pricing is absolutely disgraceful.

Hopefully dynamic pricing gets binned soon. Talk about it in Government now I think they'll act on it.

The likes of Ryanair and Easyjet have been doing this sort of thing for years. As more and more seats get filled the prices start to increase. Also a flight from Faro to EMEA could be say £99 yet on the same day the reverse flight could be up to £250.  They obviously must move the airports further away on that journey.

Would basically make complaints about fans reselling at a higher value invalid, too?

Fundamental difference between football and holidays, though.

A fair type of dynamic pricing is you charge people on the way out and they pay a sum dependent on the entertainment served up....

£25 quid per minute that they've left early

Doubtful, they will pay it some lip service but nothing will come of it, same was said about ticket touts

Any English club that tries this on deserves a couple of bad seasons and Division 1. Let's see how this model works for them then.

As if the TV money wasn’t enough for English clubs…

I don’t have too much of an issue with the airlines doing it, as the starting price is usually so low. I’ve flown many times for twenty five/thirty quid. 
 

Different story when the starting price is already stupidly high 

[Stadt]

Valencia’s attendances are toss. Unless they get cheaper which I doubt - what’s the point?

[coolhandfox]

Nothing would surprise me.

 

I think my season ticket is reasonable, but the individual match tickets prices are already horrendous.

Will never happen with our fans sadly, the large majority will roll over & take whatever is thrown at them

Was convinced this was going to be about selling Soumare.

I’m pretty sure Derby did this about 10-11 years ago.

I did the maths and I could get about 10 games of my local non league for the cost of ticket+travel+membership of 1 City game this year. 

 

Or 4 games of my local League One side.
