Scandalous.
Premier League moaning about Fulham charging £7 for a pint. It is over £6 for a pint in a plastic glass under the Canton stand.

Agreed.
This was mentioned on here towards the end of last season, and I think it was said that the current contract was recently renewed so no chance of prices/product changing soon.

Watered down over priced piss. Never drink that shite thank god.

Simple. Don't buy it.

Yeah, rip off prices. Just like the match day tickets. I paid £27 plus £2 booking fee in the Lower Ninian. Not worth it.

Whilst there's folk prepared to pay £6+ the club won't give a hoot!
I had 4 quick pints post match in The Bluebell for £12 all in. That's VFM and a good way to drown the bitter disappointment of defeat!

Unfortunately it’s the norm at any venue. I believe it’s around £6.35 a pint in the stadium. They’ll charge you more than that in St David’s Hall or the Mileniwm Centre. They’ll definitely charge you more at the Millennium Stadium. I recently went to gigs in both Manchester (AO arena) and Birmingham NEC and £8.50 was the usual price ( although in Manchester they had a 2 pint plastic glass for £16!). Not to mention London prices! A pint and a half, plus a rum and coke cost me £27 at the Hammersmith Apollo last summer.
If you don’t think it’s worth the price, then don’t pay it and have a couple at the pub instead.

As I understand it, the club take a percentage of sales profit, so the more we pay the more £££ the club make...
It's not just the stadium either; people at the Welsh Fire cricket were charged similar for a pint and, I'm told, a cheeseburger, chips and 500ml of coke was £16.50...!
Until people (ahem, I mean the captive audiences) stop purchasing they will believe they have a licence to charge more and more...

3 pound and 50p for a pint of Guinness in the Libs club before the game,absolute bargain.

I believe they’ve got their financial model wrong - the group I go with no longer drink in the stadium due to the price. However, if they reduced the prices, say to £5, we probably would have a couple each. Overall the cost difference to us wouldn’t be huge but it’s the principle as the quality is crap anyway. The bar queues have gone right down so I think people are starting to vote with their custom.

Always made me laugh when I used to see the queues to buy that cold, tasteless piss in a plastic beaker regardless of the price.
At least in the lounges you get a proper pint in a glass same as any pub.

I always sneek 2 cans of bow in,

It shouldn't have to be like this, we need to organise a boycott and petition the club, OUR CLUB. Having a reasonably priced pint on the concourse should be part of the experience.
