QPR owner Fernandes could slash ticket prices by 25%

QPR owner Tony Fernandes is ready to slash ticket prices.

The Daily Mail says the Air Asia owner is ready to rubberstamp a range of cuts and, although they have yet to be finalised, it is understood some prices could fall by as much as 25 per cent.

The move will appease fans disgruntled at the previous regime's decision to introduce a hefty price hike after QPR's promotion to the Barclays Premier League.

Fans faced the prospect of forking out up to £72 for a seat at Loftus Road this season - an increase of 106 per cent - after Bernie Ecclestone and his business partner Flavio Briatore decided to cash in on the club's top-flight status.

The controversial move caused Amit Bhatia, son-in-law of the other major shareholder Lakshmi Mittal, to step down from his role as vice-chairman in protest.
