Ticket price hike for Blackpool FC
11:10am Wednesday 7th May 2008
Blackpool FC are to hike up ticket prices for their second season in the Championship.
Some prices will increase by as much as 30 per cent as the club aims for further consolidation in the second tier of the English game.
Is a price hike on tickets long overdue?

Matchday admission prices were among the cheapest in the division last season at £18 -£21.50.
However, prices for the 2008/09 season will range from £24-£26.
Season tickets, which go on sale today, range in price from £423-£460.
Bloomfield Road will have the smallest ground capacity in the Championship next season.
Club chairman Karl Oyston has said that the number of seats will be increased shortly and that several schemes are being considered.
However, plans for a new South Stand are not thought to be imminent.
At Sunday's match against Watford - the last game of the season in which the Seasiders escaped relegation - some Blackpool supporters protested at the lack of a south stand at the Bloomfield Road ground as our picture shows.

Away supprters might reasonably expect for £22-£25 to be seated in covered accomodation. (if you get my drift)
