Solihull Moors: anger over ticket prices for National League playoff final

Fans have expressed their frustration over what some have called ‘disgraceful’ ticket prices for the National League play-off final between Solihull Moors and Grimsby Town on Sunday (June 5).

Moors will take on Grimsby at West Ham United’s London Stadium at the weekend for a place in the English Football League after they beat Chesterfield 3-1 in the semi-final.

Ticket prices for the non-league final have now been confirmed, and many fans have taken to social media to express their frustration over the cost.

Tickets will go on general sale from 4pm today (30 May).

Adult tickets will cost around £40-£45, including booking fees.

What have fans said about the prices?

Some fans took to social media to express their anger over the prices.

One fan wrote: “Disgusting prices. People who set these prices are not in touch with reality.

“Should have been £10. Cost me just £20 to watch Pompey v Sunderland at Wembley in the FLT final in 2019.”

Replying to the Solihull Moors official Twitter account which posted the details of the ticket prices, another fan wrote: “Prices are laughable for a non-league play-off final.

“Complete disregard to people’s circumstances and cost of living. I was looking forward to going but no way am I paying that.”

Another said: “Completely tone deaf pricing structure from whoever organised this. What an insult to the fans of both clubs.”
