Red Robbo Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Last night, Hoddesdon charged £7 & £4 for their game against St Margaretsbury. They cited the F.A. as the cause of the increase Today, London Lions were charging £10 & £5 for their F.A. Cup tie with Stotfold. Congratulations to all clubs who kept to their usual admission price.

Karen Browne Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Clubs have to agree before the tie on admission charges when they sort out replay dates etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Robbo Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Clubs have to agree before the tie on admission charges when they sort out replay dates etc. So both clubs to blame then, not the F.A.? Can't see many people attending Stotfold for the replay at if £10 admission has been agreed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoucasX Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 At Hertford Town FC we did our normal £6, with £2 for OAPs & £1 for U18s. I think it is short sighted to raise the prices for FA Cup. This is a wonderful opportunity to make a good impression on new fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Browne Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Rule 20 © Qualifying Competition Immediately after the draw is known, the two clubs concerned must mutually agree the prices of admission subject to the following conditions. Except where mutually agreed the minimum admission (except to children and senior citizens) to matches shall be In Extra Preliminary, Preliminary and First Round Qualifying: £3.00 In Second and Third Rounds Qualifying: £5.00 In the Fourth Qualifying Round: £6.00 A higher admission charge may be mutually agreed between the clubs concerned. The away club's spectators can only be charged more than the home club's spectators if mutually agreed by clubs. For Competition Proper the minimum charge is £10.00 All admission charges are to be confirmed in writing to the Football Association and visiting club as part of the Match Arrangement Form.

VPCTFC Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 It's a fairly common myth that you have to charge the same price as your opponents usually charge for FA games. As mentioned above, prices have to be mutually agreed but you can mutually agree to have different prices for the first game and the replay. Imagine a step 3 or 4 side getting through to the Third round and drawing Arsenal. They wouldn't have to charge £60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoucasX - What will you be charging for your plumb tie with Cheshunt in the Preliminary Round out of interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 What was that 1960's song, 'Silence Is Golden' wasn't it. I'll be surprised if Hertford Town charge £6 to get into Hertingfordbury Park next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoucasX Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 We will be charging our normal prices. £6 adults, £2 OAPs & £1 for U18s. Glad you are taking an interest.....does that mean we will see you in Hertford on Saturday Rhodes? Don't understand why you are so sceptical.......we want to make a good impression on new fans that are attracted by the magic of the FA Cup and we would never take our existing fans for granted either.
