QPR CHARGE £50 FOR CHAMPIONSHIP TICKET

  As purse strings around the world tighten, QPR have paid no attention to any global financial worries by charging £50 for a Championship match ticket.

  The wealthiest team in the second tier have announced that the top price ticket for their forthcoming game against Derby will cost more than all but six of the Premier League's most expensive admission prices.

  Only the five London clubs and Manchester United charge more, and Derby have refused to accept the new structure for the game on September 27.

  A Derby spokesman said: 'We think it's too high and we don't think that's fair. We've stood our ground and QPR have exercised their right to appeal that to the Football League.'

  However, QPR sought to justify the rise, saying that the better standard of play at Loftus Road meant the price was fair.

  A club statement said: 'Since the takeover, the club has had massive investment which has enabled us to increase our competitiveness in the Championship and provide a better standard of entertainment for home and away supporters.

  'The base price has not changed. You can still get a ticket for £20. All match-day profits will continue to be ploughed back into the club.'
