Sports letter: Wembley prices far too high

From L Calvert

Sir: Too right, Glenn Moore (Fans snub Wembley evening, 26 March). It's about time more was written and spoken about the prices at Wembley for international games. I'm sick of hearing commentators criticise football fans for not "supporting" England.

My son has never been to an international game at Wembley because we can't afford to buy a seat that is not level with the turf with a view of the footballers studs and little else.

Apart from the extortionate prices of the tickets - what about the booking fees that Wembley Box Office charges? How many other organisations charge you a booking fee when you ring them direct?

My son has been to see his local team, Luton Town, a number of times now. Many of his visits have been free because of Luton's policy of circulating local schools with concessionary tickets.

Why pay all that money to see a probable lousy performance anyway? We'd rather spend the money on a couple of videos of Brazil or Italy.

Yours sincerely

LENA CALVERT
