Barnsley FC, have today announced the ticket prices for the forthcoming match against Leicester City on Saturday 10th September.
Adults..... £30
Senior 's, Students and under 18's ......£18
Under 12's .... £7
I didn't go last year when we won 2-0, but the year before when they beat us 1-0 on a Tuesday night in January I paid only £20.
now while the pricing is the same for the Barnsley supporters, have a look at the prices for their next home game on the Following Saturday against Watford.
Adults...........£16
Senior's, Students and Under 18's .......£11
Under 12's ....£5
With all due respect to Watford FC and their supporters, we are a bigger draw than them and will probably take alot more Fans to Oakwell than Watford.
But having to pay nearly double is daylight robbery. and a 50% increase from two season's ago.
a couple of years ago Derby County refused to sell tickets for QPR away, because they felt their fans shouldn't be paying QPR's prices, and QPR backed down!
I feel that as fans we should stand up and be counted and REFUSE to purchase any tickets for this fixture and BOYCOTT the game!
we all know the Agrid's of this world will still go, even if i t was £50. but I do not believe in being ripped off!
This has also being posted on the Barnsley and Watford's 606 pages, so please Hornet's,Foxes and Tykes fans feel free to comment!
BOYCOTT BARNSLEY

"Our club,like many in this league will,will be making the most of this fixture as you've now become a big fish over night.We were charged £28 last year to go to Donny Rovers".
Is that true? I remember buying a ticket for £25 and then getting a £5 refund as we did a reciprocal deal with Rovers whereby away fans were only charged £20 at both games. I'm talking about the 2010/11 season, when it was postponed in December due to the snow and played in January.
£30 is a disgraceful charge for a football match. If I were a Leicester fan I'd just not go. That's the best way to fight rip-off prices - don't pay them.

If anything I would be charging less to watch us against Leicester because we never beat em anyway, even more so with there new found wealth!

The pricing is the same for Barnsley fans. That says it all. A lot of money in these hard times. It is not as if we are charging £30 for away fans and £20 for home fans.

It's too much and I sympathise. But at least you won't have to sit next to our equivalent of your L1 chav/monkeyboy section for two hours.

Isnt this the game which the Sun is offering 2 tickets for £20? It was either Barnsley or Bristol City. I have collected the tokens so I may be going anyway for less than a tenner!!!

Yep, the other three sides of the ground..It's pretty quiet apart from the booing when we start losing.
What did amuse me about the crispbowl though was that the vocal section of your crowd don't congregate behind the goal, as is traditional, to get behind the team, rather they prefer to get as close to the away support as possible in order to make rude gestures and goad them the whole match. I'm pretty sure none of them saw any of your goals, which was apity as they were rather good. they spend them entire game stood facing the away support making silly faces and being pathetic. A load of chav kids, nothing more. Leicester always had a good behind the goal support at Filbert St.
The mindless hoodie is king.
