Are people being beaten up when they collect them?

nearly 19000

 

[Lako42]

nearly 19000

But could be 13000

 

[SJN-Fox]

nearly 19000

Yeah right !!

there's no way we've sold 19k season tickets. Not in a million years.
If it's 15k that's an amazing result as it'll mean every attendance for the season will be mid 20's - a return to form and a bit of atmosphere.

 

[DesertFox]

Aye, the booing will be especially loud.

Yeah, imagine what it'll be like if we're not beating Swansea at least 3-0 at half time.

 

[DesertFox]

I expect someone to bring a big sword out at half time, which Nige and his staff, one by one, will ceremoniously fall on, leaving us to get Frank Burrows back to hold Gerry's hand. It'll be magic.

pretty expensive I must say.

Cheapest adult season tickets are £318 (£13.83 a game). This is expensive by what standard? Our season ticket prices aren't the problem, it's the extortionate match ticket prices we have to fork out for when we go away that make a dent in the pocket.

When my dad took me down filbert street in the 1979/80 season the tickets were £2.50 to stand in pen 2.....now i dont know the average wage in them days but to pay £ 30 to sit in j block would probaly be 1/10 of peoples wages now adays,then the pint and food + program on top,soon mounts.

I have just purchased 5 tickets for the swansea game which came to £44...but thats only because one of my daughters is disabled...if she was not...my partner would also have to pay £30+ 3kids amounts to about £80,which is beyond belief.

Some of you might not be aware that leicester do a grass roots scheme,basically if your kids are in clubs...you can get cheap tickets for the plymouth,preston,scunthorpe,middlesborough + another game cannot remember the club.

Adults are £14...i think 8 year olds to 18 is about a fiver and under eights free.

Wasn't pen 2 closed at that time?
Maybe years of drug abuse really have destroyed my cognitive functions.

I credit my years of drug abuse for improving mine, but that could be the drugs talking.

It always annoys me when people count these things into the cost of going to a football match. The ticket cost and travel are the only required expenses, the rest are your choice. You don't go on a night out in town and say "feck me I know the pubs are free to get in, but when you've added in the cost of the beer and kebab it's such a rip off"

I am not sure as i was only 7...though i do remember a game against notts county in that season i think leicester won 1-0, and we stood in pen1 ,not knowing that was allocated to away fans..maybe the older fans can remember what we had.

Try telling your kids they aint getting a drink and a packet of crisps

Pen 1 was away fans, pen 2 was empty, pen 3 was... boisterous, to say the least

I agree completely. I always try and minimise my spending when I go and watch Leicester, as it's a total rip off. I walk there and back and I don't buy any food/drink in the ground (the beer is a ****ing joke in there anyway - flat, horrible, shitty lager in a plastic glass for £3? No thanks.) And I never bother with a programme as I think they're not worth anywhere near what you pay for them.

So all I pay for is my ticket, which IMO was well overpriced at £22 last season.

Compared to what?

A concert ticket for about a 90 minute performance would probably cost at least twice that in a big venue with a large audience - and they might not play the songs you like!
