Apparently Wednesday are charging Sunderland £49 sadly curse of the foreign owners.
The Sunderland game at Hillsborough has been set as a Category C game, so the most the away fans can be charged in 36 pounds, as a senior it would be 26 pounds I believe. There is a lot of misconception around our ticket prices because we have Cat A tickets priced at 49 pounds in the South Stand, but since we went to these categories we have yet to see a game that has been put at Cat A. I am assuming that the Sunderland fans figured that as they are sooooo big they would be classed as a Cat A game and saw the prices we would charge for that, but even if it was Cat A they would be charged less because we have to charge away fans the same as our fans on the Kop pay and the Cat A price for the Kop is 42 pounds (37 pounds for members).
Don't think this has anything to do with foreign owners though.

That might be fair in the Prem (or those clubs with parachute payments) with all the money they have from tv but in the EFL the biggest revenue generator is still tickets sold for games. Each club in the Championship gets 2m tv money plus 100k for each live home game, that adds up to far less than ticket sales generate.
