OVER a third of Championship clubs carry controversial matchday surcharges similar to Burnley.
However, none of their rivals offer tickets at discounted prices in the run-up to kick-off, as announced by Turf Moor bosses yesterday.
In addition to the Clarets, Derby County, Reading and Watford all charge supporters £3 more for matchday admission at the turnstiles.
The four clubs all have the so-called 'surcharge' as an incentive to use modern booking methods such as the Internet or a dedicated telephone hotline.
Cardiff City, Ipswich Town, Plymouth Argyle, Preston North End and Sheffield Wednesday all carry matchday surcharges of between £1-2.
However, Burnley are the only club whose revised policy means discounted tickets can still be obtained up to three hours before kick off.
