Swansea Criticised for Charging 'Outrageous' Mascot Prices in Excess of £450

Swansea City have received criticism for charging parents extortionate prices for their children to be match day mascots at Championship games.

Despite their relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season, Swansea still charge up to £478 for a mascot package. Only three clubs in the top flight charge higher prices.

"It's absolutely outrageous that some richer kids can effectively buy their way to the top of the mascot list," Martyn James, of consumer website Resolver, told BBC Wales.

Swansea say that the 'truly once in a lifetime experience' includes four hospitality places, a meal and a half-time penalty competition on the pitch.
