Dortmund fans latest to protest against ticket prices!+´ç

Borussia Dortmund fans threw tennis balls onto the pitch during their German Cup victory over Stuttgart in protest against ticket prices.

Supporters also boycotted the first 20 minutes of the 3-1 quarter-final win.

A quarter of away tickets for the game cost 70 euros (£55), with the cheapest seats priced at 38.50 euros (£30) and standing tickets at 19.50 euros (£15).
Dortmund fan Marc Quambusch, a member of the campaign group behind the protest, explained why some supporters chose to miss the opening 20 minutes.

"Obviously it's not something we want to do, but we feel we have to do it," he told the BBC World Service. "We don't feel very good about not supporting the team for the first 20 minutes, but it has to be."

Quambusch also backed the decision of thousands of Liverpool fans to leave the Sunderland match early.

"It's always good to see fans protesting against bad conditions and, yes, they have our solidarity," he said. "I hope it is inspiring other fans to join them and to protest as well. I love English football but it is killing itself."

Fair play to them, although can you imagine a £15 terraced option in England?

There's a noticeable recent movement by fans to attempt to change the scandalous and ridiculous pricing. Let's say £20 is more than enough. Let's hope this protesting continues. Let's hope that it'll change something. Sadly I'm not sure ...
