It's ludicrous that I could get a season ticket at Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Leverkusen or Bayern Munich for WAY less than I'd have to pay at my local shithole Finnish club.

Fake edit: poo poo, the cheapest ticket at Bayern Munich, European Champions 2013, is the same price as the absolute cheapest, "you have to stand with a bunch of mutants" ticket at my club :psyduck:

You couldn't. From my understanding those tickets are extremely limited and have long waiting lists. There's a lot of selective use of numbers in that picture, I would personally call it a propaganda infographic.

None of the little information bits are fair and balanced in my opinion but if I had to say one important thing that was left out, it would be the fact that EPL is a much bigger league than GBL(German Bundes Liga) as illustrated by ticket prices and TV deal money.

Well yeah, obviously if there's like five 80€ season tickets available for Bayern then that's crap and the whole infograph is misleading. But big waiting lists aren't exactly an eliminating factor, IMO. It wasn't that long ago (and possibly still is) that you had to wait for years and years to get season tickets for, say, United or Liverpool.

IIRC you get cup games and such included which you don't get at most other clubs so the average price per match isnt that different between the "big clubs". Anyway, the prices are ridiculous but that's just how the Premier League does things.

In the infographic they use reduced season ticket prices for German clubs (e.g. for disabled persons in Bayern's case) but not for PL clubs. It is pretty inconsistent and I only checked like 3 PL teams.

This thing posted by Ephex in the bundesliga thread has other prices (prices from left to right are stands, cheapest seats, expensive seats, total):

To be fair, they don't mention either that City sell approximately eight tickets for £299 and the rest are far more expensive

It's not so much the amount of them that City sell, although they are limited to a few hundred, it's that they seat you in a location of their choosing, so i'm assuming right at the top, right at the back. It's a big jump from there as well, so it is kind of misleading, I think from that £299 it jumps to about £450.

I don't know about those 80€ for the cheapest Bayern season ticket..IF there is one, it's definitely u21.
Cheapest season ticket in the stands is 140€ next season (it was 120€ the years before, but that's the first raise ever since we started playing in the hell of Fröttmaning).

/e: to contribute a picture I didn't see here before: Udinese after they beat Inter...guess the result ;)

It's bullshit.
Cheapest season ticket is for the stands and costs €140.
The one for €80 is for the handicapped places.

Also I'm glad they raised the prices after their record breaking season where they easily made €80m or more from the CL run alone t:mad:t

Stoke's tickets are also a lot cheaper than that if you get the earlybird discount or wait until the potential sale at the end for the leftovers. Also we have cheaper tickets for parents taking their kids and also the 36 quid season ticket for under 10s in the family area.

Alveolar fibrosis don't give a damn.

I can never come to a conclusion as to whether Pirlo is just insanely self critical, and that is why he is always so :smith: even after doing something awesome, or if he is just not programmed for the emotion of happiness.


That's better :unsmith:
