Obviously these are exciting times for us all but at the same time the pricing of the finals is disgusting. Wouldn't it be great if both sets of fans got together and did some sort of protest during the game. Even if its just 100s of '£20 is plenty' signs

Have a word with Boris. He's a Town fan after all.

He’s also responsible for costing taxpayers a fortune by having no clear plan for the Olympic Stadium after the Olympics. One of many reasons why we’re getting shafted next weekend

No I don't think it would to be honest as it won't do any good. The way to move this forward is to highlight it to their sponsors and via social media tagging the sponsor in. I see Burnsey is trying to get the NL to go on Humberside to justify the prices, he'll have a long wait.

I'll be protesting the excrement ticket prices by simply not going to the match (and spending loads of time wandering round Barcelona on a holiday i booked over a year ago desperately trying to find a pub which shows English division 5 football on tv over there)

I guess for some the getting there is the issue. If you need to go by coach you’ll get charged a bomb, if you need a train, our trains are outrageous.

The cheapest way is by car but that isn’t always an option for folk. I expected the tickets to be £45 so wasn’t shocked at all but I can see why some would choose not to go…that said, we paid £21 for a league game at chesterfield and £20 at Kings Lynn…

It can cost you £22 for BP so it was always going to be a similar price to this.

Football in this country is overpriced in general so it's certainly not just a National League issue.

No concession for OAPs either. The only stadium not to offer them?
Also charging for printing the tickets on your own printer.
Robbing b*****ds!!!

Can't say I'm best pleased. Will cost around £130 for the tickets, £90 for fuel, and nearly £20 for parking. Also factoring in getting food, probably talking well over £250 for a day out. The national league really are so out of touch with the fans, cost of living crisis, people struggling and they charge nearly £45 for a ticket. Certainly going to put a lot of fans off. Can only see 10k town fans turning up to this.
