Tickets

Does the club get a share of the takings and TV money from this game?

Well, as a neutral - There’s absolutely no chance I’m paying those prices. Ridiculous decision from the National League.
I was looking forward to making a trip down and supporting effectively my “2nd” team.

In the midst of the biggest financial crisis and hardship to families all over the country, they are actually trying to justify £40 a ticket for 5th level football, that’s not including the “booking fee” and “email fee”. Jokers at the top.
Let’s not forget the coaches/trains down.. add in spends for the day. You’re looking at £100+ plus for one person.

I’ll stay in Grimsby for the weekend and watch it with the missus at home with some beers. Hope those that actually make the trip, have a great day out as it’s deserved but f**k me £40. Insane pricing.

Why do the bodies that run the game at every level seem to have such disdain for the fans? UEFA, the FA, The National League...

This should never have been in London in the first place once Wembley wasn't an option and it was clear the teams were all going to Midlands and North. On jubilee weekend.

Then to charge this?! This will outprice many with travel plus ticket, and even those it won't, for many it will mean a real cutback/budgeting month to stretch to it. Which it shouldn't happen to go see your team in the 5th tier.

Can anyone get a name of anyone making these decisions? Feel they need to be accountable and come on Humberside or on Twitter or wherever to hear fans and have to justify their decision, instead of hiding behind faceless statements.

As someone pointed out, for a final, at a modern stadium, £44 doesn’t seem that bad when many of us paid £20 to get in Kings Lynn…

That said, it doesn’t make it right and I suspect those floating fans will possibly vote with their pocket, and who could argue with them.

The people running the game at every level have little idea or little care about the fans, or do they and it’s sheer greed and the arrogance knowing fans will pay it to see their teams…

Are there no seniors exemptions ,just under 16s

All under 16 aren't we?

£44 not that bad I don’t think … could be £144 and we’d still all go , can’t wait

It is nothing short of a disgrace and bless my mother for paying the price because I certainly can't afford to, factor in travel etc and you're hitting the price of a season ticket. I am extremely lucky in that respect, but many won't be, and I really feel for them.

Many have pointed out that the Championship final today was £36. That has been countered by people pointing out that they were the cheapest tickets, and others paid 70+. Let us actually think about that for a moment...

So they've effectively made THE CHEAPEST TICKETS MORE EXPENSIVE, you know, the ones most people are scraping together to afford, and the more high end tickets, cheaper. You couldn't make this sh!t up. Utter contempt for the working class fan who once again, has been all but priced out of a family day out to watch 5th tier football.

There comes a point where people have to answer for these decisions. Not a National League Twitter Page, not a 'statement' given to the Press. Fans need to come together to show their disgust at this because they will take the p!ss until we stop them, it has always been that way.

Sport has to be accessible and inclusive, this pricing is anything but that. It's a bloody disgrace that this has been allowed to go ahead at West Ham. This final should be at Hillsborough, King Power, Villa Park, St Andrews, Hawthorns, etc and etc.

Controversial opinion here. They’ve got to make their money somehow. There isn’t the same interest or lucrative sponsorship as the higher leagues. It’s like comparing our season ticket prices with Championship/Premier League. Apples and oranges.  

Yeah but it’s the value of the product that counts .
We not paying to see teams full if International players or some of the best players in the world
