    At £102 per ticket your cash won't go very far

    I've mentioned this before but there's a legal requirement to include VAT in prices that are advertised to the public such as this. The club is actually breaking the law by advertising + VAT prices like this.

    https://www.gov.uk/marketing-advertising-law/describing-your-product

    Advertising standards clearly state this in their guidance:

    https://www.asa.org.uk/uploads/assets/uploaded/adac9dec-45de-4bfe-90a1194ba10ad1d2.pdf

    Apart from anything, it is actually misleading to fans who are crap with percentages or don't know how much VAT is.

    Too many mistakes to bother posting them all individually but the first line sets the tone: 'The Saddler’s visit to Oakwell on Saturday is the perfect chance experience the best of our matchday hospitality packages.' It's even worse that this is being targeted at businesses and yet the whole thing is shoddy and, as Gally pointed out, possibly illegal.

    Agreed, I've had a bee in my bonnet about that for years. It's illegal for a business to claim back VAT on football tickets, unless the tickets are an incidental part of a much larger event, such as a training course or seminar, for example.

    Add +VAT also just complicates matters. Just put what the full price is going to be and get rid of the VAT part which isn't allowed anyway.

    You are allowed a certain amount for entertaining and hospitality for clients aren’t you? As this includes drinks/food and a table etc, it gets around it as it’s not just a ticket.

    True. They should at least put both prices on. I know it’s predominantly aimed at businesses, but the media outlet used here is mainly targets the general public.

    Nope, not any more. Used to be like that but the rules changed. If you run a day long seminar, for example, meals and drinks are VAT reclaimable. Just going to a football match is not allowed.
