The whole ticket prices issue shouldn't even arise

It should be quite simple. For the bigger clubs people have to pay top dollar and I don't think people will moan about that. what annoys people is having 3 or 4 different categories of tickets and then making virtually every game category A or A*. Especially as we all know that ticket revenues are making up an increasingly small % of our overall revenues so the claims that it makes a huge difference to our playing budget appear questionable.

They should just go back to having 3 categories of games, A, B and C and have say 6 A games, 4 C games and the rest category B. Max out the taking from the big games but have a few cheaper games and price the cup games to ensure they are accessible to fans who can;t always afford to go to the prem games.
