    Borussia Dortmund fans have thrown tennis balls into the pitch tonight in protest over ticket prices.

    They should have thrown Octopus like the Red Wings fans do.

    Someone else will know better but I thought one of the features of German football was that prices were reasonable.

    I also found this a strange turn of events; certainly within the last year German football has been lauded as the example of a reasonably priced event. Perhaps reality is playing catch-up with them, as it has in other things.

    Wait. So the German model isn't the one we should aspire to now?

    I thought you could get tickets to a Bundesleague game for 3 shillings and tuppence, and drink bier, and enjoy a better atmosphere?

    We should have a sticky for who we need to be like, seems to change like the wind.

    Is it the Chinese Super League we need to be like now??

    I love it when you post these sarcastic diatribes when you self endivdently have absolutely no knowledge of the topic you post them on.

    The Bundesliga isn't a ticket cheap ticket free-for-all as some would have you believe, I went to a game at the weekend and tickets ranged from 15-96 euro, the most expensive were more than the proposed amount that Liverpool fans are protesting about at the moment.

    What it does however is make the game accessible to all demographics, by making tickets available at all price brackets those on low incomes can still afford to go. You can still watch top flight football for less than a conference game in this country.

    As for the atmosphere, there really is no comparison, a drab 0-0 draw had a better atmosphere than any English game I've been to, no comparison.

    Yeah I know. Not like I lived in Germany for 8 years eh?

    We regularly on here get people like yourself claiming we should follow the x model in our clubs management, how we run our league etc.

    Neither of which are perfect, but the comparisons are usually way off, irrelevant or just plain bollocks.

    The Bundesliga model remains far better than ours, fans are held in far higher regard, despite the current issue with lesser clubs trying to over-charge visiting fans from the bigger clubs (and it's all relative, you could still buy a €15 away ticket for the game the Dortmund fans were protesting about).

    Only if you've been in th Dortmund fan club for a millennia and never missed a game.

    Cheap tickets aren't accessible to anybody. Try and get yourself to a game in Germany and see what you'll pay.

    Looking after your own long term fans and making up for it by stiffing tourists is a perfectly acceptable approach.

    How easy is it, for everyone who'd want one, even leaving aside the tourists, do you think it is?

    Sure, some games are cheaper, some are more expensive. Like ours.

    Id rather see all of our ticket prices in England go down, not just for select groups, or select games. I'd rather not have to pay to join a fan club to have the chance of a cheaper ticket either.
