Hi @Yorkie, Like @Piracy  says we booked it towards the end of the season and thoroughly enjoyed it. 8 folk should secure you a table for yourselves. I would Contact Margaret Miller at Margaret@dafc.co.uk who was extremely helpful for advice and to make a preliminary booking.

It’s now £80 !!!!! Thats a massive increase over previous years - no surprise its not running full any more ……

And nothing extra in the package either which justifies the price going up. Don’t even get a programme complimentary anymore

It's £65 if you have a season ticket.

I was at the QP game towards the end of last season. It was a really good day out apart from between 3 & 4.50pm......

Games against Falkirk and rovers are at £75 for season ticket holders and £90 for non season ticket holders. With no drink included either it’s really not worth it

Has it ever been? It used to be £50 back in the day......for a 3 course meal a programme and a pie.

£90 does feel steep - if you break it down, you're getting:

* Match entry to best seats in EEP (£24)

* Meal and overall experience (say £30-40)

* Free programme (£3? Long time since I bought one tbh)

* Half time pastries (say £3)

* Coffee/tea (say £3)

* Pre and post match entertainment, manager/player appearance (debatable how much this might be worth, but it's something)

So that's about £70, give or take, plus whatever the entertainment and experience is worth. To be fair, I've maybe missed something, but not sure what.

And of course for non ST holders there's a decent chance it'll include folk who don't normally come to EEP anyway, but are there as guests of someone who does. It's a lot to ask of daytrippers.

And, there's the chance of your game being moved to Friday night at fairly short notice, potentially scuppering all your plans!

It’s far from a £30-£40 meal experience - it’s basic catering - £20 would still leave them with a healthy profit - the fact that it’s no longer selling out speaks volumes

Well, yeah, I was being generous, and thinking in terms of what you might expect to pay for 3 courses in a fairly standard restaurant. Either way, I think we agree that it's not great value.
