Almost identical threads with arguments and in-fighting on the Tranmere and FGR forums regarding Wembley prices. The truth is, it's an utter rip off.

We're unlikely to sell many more than 12k, and FGR will sell what they sell. It's not going to be a big attendance.

If it was the same price as the women's fa. Final (£15) the attendance would be so much higher.

There's going to be six play-off places next season, apparently.

Heard from a reliable source that Tranmere will at least sell out the initial 17k allocation.. Lincoln levels of bandwagonism that.

Heard we're at just over 12k. Must be a lot of people leaving it until the last minute! :lol:

I think it's a bit of a risk you lot going down. Friday, gives the players a lot of time just to think...

Well, looks like we haven't hit the 3,000 ticket mark yet. Pathetic, but can't say I'm surprised.

2,816 at last count. We're lower than I hoped for too, 12,426 so far. Greedy pricing having its effect.

It will never be a good final unless ticket prices are lowered or it's at a different ground. Absolute joke.

It'll probably be a similar attendance to our game last season which was just over 17000. We sold around 14000 and FGR about 3000.

A heads-up that BT Sports1 is showing highlights of the North and South finals on *Sunday* from 2.30pm.

If Forest Green fans start singing songs about the tickets being a rip off during the game, or whenever approached by journalists outside the stadium, is there any chance that Tranmere fans might be willing to do the same?

As mentioned above there is a lot of dissatisfaction amongst supporters of both clubs for the pricing structure, £45 for a non-league game is nothing short of daylight robbery, if they were set at a more reasonable level you could add thousands to the gate.

Last year I went to the game with a mate, plus his wife and daughter, this year there will be just the two of us. He couldn't justify paying around £200, when you take into account things like travel and food, for a day out at Wembley. The figures mentioned above suggest that he is not alone in taking that view.

Have they not done a Vanarama big day out offer this year?
I know they did it for the last 2 play off finals but I didn't risk it last year as I could see us ballsing it up in the Semi, then ended up having to pay £64.50 for me and my lad instead.
What I would say though is that despite it being a complete rip off, if you win the memories it creates is money well spent.

Brilliant interview, stuck up for the fans and said it exactly how it is. The prices are a disgrace.

Hopefully Mellon will do the same, it needs highlighting.

How long have they been producing that show for? It's bloody awful!

Dunno, quite a few years. Was on BBC London, then 5live who axed it recently. Podcasts now carried on audioBoom.

Haven't listened to it in quite a while, our very own CP used to be a regular didn't he?
