Let's hope we never get into Europe.  PSG tickets v Newcastle are £62 and no concessions for kids!!

First round not a Quarter Final hence a low price

Point being, if you want to watch the Vale and can't afford £25 you can see them for £10.00. 

It feels like some folk want the club to cut prices to suit them because it's Christmas.

I wonder if all the shops, pubs, clubs and restaurants will be dropping prices "because it's Christmas". 

[eh up nah]

Christ, pretty much same cost as Cambridge or someone on a Tuesday night if you haven't got an St

Its a bloody quarter final in a major competition 

It isn't just Vale, we've had to agree this with Middlesbrough

Presumably the people clamouring for cheap football will be scooping up the FA Cup replay tickets at £10.00. 

When they eventually go one sale🙂

Lincoln is £24 & £10 for kids - so £25 & £15 not bad for a qtr final match

Thank god we're crap. I'd hate it if we were good.

Tbf All football clubs should take into consideration we are in a cost of living crisis. £25 is a lot if you are not in a well paid job...regardless that it is a 'one off game'...and after all the wages generally in the Stoke area are well below average

I work on the principle that if I can’t afford something I don’t buy it. I don’t demand that the seller reduces the price so I can afford it.

The better we get the high up the food chain we go so the less folk will come and watch us because of the rising prices!!  If we get to the Champs League the ground will be empty!

I cant imagine Middlesbrough (also a low paid area) agreeing to anything less than the current £25 quid for a league cup quarter final when they are paying £32  for their home games in the league.

If someone wanted to watch Vale for less there are loads of opportunities including the last  few rounds of this cup !!

That is how capitalism works from a business perspective yes, but in many examples your analogy doesn't fit the reality of people who do struggle. If  a person can't afford a loaf of bread or food then as a desperate measure they would  have to borrow the money to get that food.

A football club is there for the community. It used to be, for example, that unemployed people used to attend on reduced rates, and football was accessible to all, instead many football clubs have unwittingly priced many people out of attending. 

Whilst a football club has to be ran sensibly financially the people running it should remember that a club is a stone of the community and not a business. That is the principle that I would use.

I really do feel that the current Vale owners have priced out many fans who wish to attend. A 9% increase in pay on the day admission prices in two years is a large increase.

It fades into insignificance when compared to the £10M the owners have paid to ensure you have the opportunity to go!

But way below the rate of inflation and on a par with most other League One clubs. Check out the prices at the likes of Bolton who get far bigger gates yet still charge more than us

You won't catch me there that's for sure. I am a man. I will make a stand.

And the amount of assistance the club gave to the community during Covid and continues to give.
