    If someone could again make this as a sticky that would be great.

    For once, off the field this summer we've decided to do a number of common sense things - probably to win the fans back due to season ticket sales dropping significantly - well done people for forcing the clubs hand. I don't think any of these moves were made voluntarily however well done club for actually doing them.

    The extended away allocations at Portman Road isn't before time and prevents the all ticket shambles of Leeds Wendy / Villa and Newcastle this season.

    £25 tickets for games instead of the weird £27.50 and no £2.50 matchday hike is also much appreciated. Feel a bit for season ticket holders however who were hiked again as adult. Under 23 season ticket holders certainly benefited massively though!

    However, even better we've decided to drop away prices to £25 IF the opposition also does the same for us. Apparently six clubs have so far agreed to this, with others showing positive motion.

    So I wonder which clubs will end up doing this?

    League
    * Barnsley = agreed to it. £25 advance, £27 on the day.
    * Millwall = I can only assume have rejected this, charging £23 in advance.
    * QPR = Rejected and charging £28 - £33 for crap views in the upper tier. Lower tier WILL go onsale should we require however many waiting for lower before buying according to TWTD so interesting...
    * Derby = See Millwall. Have decided to charge us £22. Wonder if we'll reward them too....
    * Leeds Utd also decide to reject this - £36 a pop ?! Jesus. No ta.
    * Sheff Utd £27 so opted to not. A little silly I feel this by the Blades just charging £2 over the £25 if you're going to do this, as we'll charge your fans £32.50 back in exchange.... Needless.
    * Burton Albion = £20 terrace / £24 seat. Well played guys. Surely go on the terrace, rare to get on these days and should be a great atmosphere! Under 17, SEVEN QUID on the terrace. Bargain!
    * Cardiff, £22 for adults. Fair play to you. Midweek sure, however well done!
    * Villa £30... thanks then....
    * Hull £12. Absolute gems!!!! Same for concessions
    * Boro £30. Shame.
    * Wolves £25. Appear have agreed the price deal with us. Well played :)

    Cup
    * Luton = Was £18 I think for adults.... not great but whatever. Cup game.
    * Palace = Club subsidising season ticket holders down to £15, very good club!

    Appears Millwall are the first club to reject this approach - however they've kindly billed us £23 not £25. Nicely play Millwall!

    Supposedly now 12 clubs have confirmed they will do this. Well done town, fantastic.

    We're charging Brentford £25. Charged Brum the same, so I think we can expect £25 away tickets from both :)

    QPR - Hang your heads in shame. Especially when your fans are coming to our gaff boxing day and there won't be trains running.............. bloody embarrassing.

    The ONLY reason I can see behind the absolute drivel that melt has spouted is QPR are in a financial mess and they know we always bring a near to full allocation and need as many pennies as they can.

    Derby County have also refused this - instead kindly charging us £22 a pop. Them and Millwall certainly have gotten into the midweek spirit of things..... will we charge them less than £25 !?

    £25 a ticket is too steep in some cases. Cardiff v Ipswich is a massive trek for both sets of fans. After that trip both clubs should come to an agreement of a tenner.

    Next season when its a PL fixture and the PL money it should be free.<laugh>

    I agree with the £20 is plenty campaign! That said, we charged away clubs a laughable £32.50 and have tried to push down prices with other clubs this season so it's a big start in the right direction.

    You honestly feel prices in this league don't need bringing down and are happy for them to go up?

    London is more expensive than the rest of the country, our pints are more than you would pay in Ipswich, our house prices and rates are too, it is what it is. London is more expensive so to are the ticket prices. You pay it once a season we pay 23 times. Some of the poo qpr has served up in the past years no price could be too low, but we return because it's our team like you do at Ipswich

    On the flip side of that though, people from outside the Capital don't earn as much and so are probably less willing to pay too much for a ticket <ok>

    Fair enough but there is more reason for an Ipswich supporter to make a weekend with family to come to london than the other way around

    It was just noticed you hadn't agree that's all! Up the QPR, think you'll be fine this season. Like QPR from days like Kevin Gallen.
