feda16 136 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I heard a story of an elderly gentleman in london who attends Chelsea every weekend. Now its not cheap to attend these games and he was asked how he could afford such occasions every other weekend. His answer was that in the 50's 60's or 70's (cant remember which decade) an incentive was offered to fans where they could buy a ticket for life. He paid £150 and been going for years. My question is would it work now? How much would be charged now and would you buy one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBagalag 722 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 The cost of a ticket for life now would be astronomical to the average fan. When the gentleman you mention bought his, football was not so driven by money compared to nowadays. I would hazard a guess you would be looking at £10000 or so if you were buying one as a 30 year old, with prices varying dependant on age.

feda16 136 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 shame that it would cost so much cause i could imagine it would do extremely well at Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhailichenko 90 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I know a Ross County fan who bought a 20 year season ticket when they got accepted to the SFL from the Highland League. It cost him £350 iirc. Since they got promoted to SFL 1 they have been sending him what are basically begging letters asking him to pay for a season ticket at normal price. It suited them at the time to fund their rise up the leagues but now they are at the top they are losing revenue big time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Could see it working for a 60 year old or older,at say 50% of 10/15 year estimate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non_Sucumbi 876 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Oh I thought it said 'ticket for wife'. FFS I and many other men watch games to get away from their wives.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatDolphins 5,355 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 What would happen to it when you die, especially if you died not long after paying for it? Would it be void and resold? Could you bequeath it? Throws up more problems than it would be worth imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
