Whilst I agree it's a monumental rip off, I'm with SFD in that its a case of buyer beware. If anyone has the time or the disposable income to be fork out that's their lookout. If the take up is slow perhaps the club will reduce the price, or not. As I have no interest in going anyway, its irrelevant to me. Beside nobody ever said following a football club is good value for money.

Overcharging is as old as history and has nothing to do with capitalism. That's quite different.
This is just just bulk standard dodgy street trader stuff that happens in any medina or pannier market on the planet. It ruins it for the decent traders and business owners, of which there are many. These people should be harangued for it wherever it goes on.

Anything to do with football is too expensive, it's been that way since the monstrosity of the Premier League began, and probably before. Overcharging is part of the game especially for clubs like PAFC and especially for the current regime.

They could charge £2,000 for the trip and people would pay it. It's not like any other business, if you think you're paying too much at one shop, you can try a different one.

You don't try a different football club, it's a lifestyle choice that stays with you forever. That's why people will pay to do this sort of thing whether they can afford it or not - and the club will capitalise on it. It's not something I agree with or would ever do, but such is the life of a football fan these days.

I'm not a proper fan thank goodness.

Since when has value been a prerequisite of capitalism. You charge what you think you can get away with.

I happen to think that the outlay for Argyle is minimal. It's the 'in with the in crowd' bit that's the sting and which costs the club nothing.

So long as the mugs/fans realise that they're paying for the players trip then no problem.

I've just priced this up as a single traveller using reasonable assumptions and the only bit missing is the two meals with players and the "closed" training sessions...... Allowing for shocking exchange rates I make it £462 with only personal food to be added as opposed to argyle creaming £1450 off the punter in a single room.
Gotta love Jimmy but if the avivas are happy to pay it then as has been said its their choice entirely

If some sad act wants to pay over a grand to watch and wank over Argyle, then let em fill their boots.

Personally, i'd prefer the old skool route of a manky transit van trip with some mates.

That's a good point that Reg. The culture was everywhere, not just football, the squire pays for these end of/beginning of forays/charabangs as a thank you to staff and the community. Not with this new breed of skimmers and bottom feeders. They're never off duty. They will regret it.
They're feeding off addicts.
As for manky transit vans, I've spent most of my life doing that and it's the best way to travel by far. I never understood the bubble experience that certain characters call a holiday. Just the same old gunk in the same old way in some bland hotel, often in some far flung gated community. You only live once.

Ain't that the truth. Variety gives you a well rounded view though. France '98 was quite literally 'back of a Transit van'. Euro 2016 was a lot more plush but no less enjoyable.

There is a rumour that all applications are being routed to Sir Jim's best mate for his opinion - they must have the right sort attending after all.

Still trying to fill spaces 3 days after the cut off point for final payment.

That'll teach them for tying to sell a few days in Holland for the same price as a fortnight All-Inclusive in the Carribean.
