QPR raise prices for Premier season

11 April 2012

Queens Park Rangers are the latest London club to raise ticket prices following their promotion to the Premier League.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have all significantly hiked up prices for the 2011-12 season and now QPR have announced their plans for the new campaign.

The cheapest tickets to watch the country's top stars at Loftus Road will be £47 with some as high as £72.

Club owners Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal are cashing in on the club's promotion back to the top flight by raising the prices of both season and matchday tickets.

QPR's season ticket price changes - up 40 per cent on last term - will see the most expensive band increasing from £699 to £999.

The price rises were widely predicted but have still been met with dismay by many Rangers fans.

"It's an absolute disgrace and, yet again, underlines the total contempt the owners of QPR have for the fans," said Paul Finney of the Independent R's website.

"Flavio Briatore's dream is a 'boutique' club, which has an exclusive feel to it and is the place for wealthy people to be seen.

"Not only is that a slap in the face of QPR supporters, it is not in the long-term interests of a club that has two other Premier League clubs (Chelsea and Fulham) on its doorstep."
