Guys, nice to meet you all. Just wondering what the current mindset is for your opening day fixture at QPR. Any form of boycott, petition etc going on? Prices are just unreal and momentum is really picking up on our forum http://www.readytogo.net/smb" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to simply boycott the game apart from a group who will take a banner to the ground stating Enough is enough.

The link to the above Facebook group has some information in which will hopefully raise awareness that they are simply taking the piss!

There's plenty boycotting, but there's also a few who have no responsibilities who can afford £57 for a ticket, who are now moaning like feck at some of our supporters.. They're doing all this cock measuring things about being better fans etc..

Personally, I will never, ever set foot in any ground that charges over £40 for a ticket to watch a game of football. The more people pay at shit holes like Loftus Road, the more OTHER clubs will start to charge, thinking they can get away with it..

It's high time they stopped taking the piss, but as long as people continue to pay, they never will!

Chelsea and Spurs have taken the piss for years. QPR are reacting to the market forces, a bit like them having to pay more for policing, players fees and wages etc. now they're in the top flight. Not saying I agree with it, but that's life.

I'm not going, by the way.

Why pick on QPR? The prices for most Premier League fixtures in London are a joke. Chelsea have been taking the piss for years and i don't notice anyone talking about boycotting Stamford Bridge. If people are mad enough to pay those sort of ticket prices, then club's will continue to charge them.

They do take the piss, but at least at Chelsea you get to see decent footballers playing at the very highest standard..

No, what pisses me off is when hear people "I'm boycotting QPR" when you know for a fact they had no intention of going in the first place, no matter what the price it is.

You're correct in a way. I can't afford to pay that and TBH even if I could, I wouldn't pay it out of protest

I'm away for this game but, to be fair I haven't been to Chelsea for the last two seasons. It's just too much.

Even living in London by the time I've got my ticket, travel, programme, pie and a few scoops of ale I see little change out of £100

Meh, I'll be going, mainly because it'll be one of the few games I get to see this season. I'm loathed to pay the prices but I will...

I wouldn't go if i lived next door to Loftus Road. I refuse to pay more than £35, anything more than that is a rip-off, plain and simple.

I understand your anger but wouldn't rule it out. Kind of depends whether the current rampant inflation in the price of goods and services is ever matched in wages. I'm sure some of our more venerable contributors shook their heads when prices topped a tenner, but then I bet they never thought they'd see the average UK house price reach £232,000 (or average wage £27,900).

First match of the season and despite the stupid price, I'll probably save up and go to this one.
