OK, servicemen should get in for free - no arguement. But excessively priced? well maybe not. Kids go free anyway and parking is also free.

£30 (price in advance) is the average price at a Premiership football match and about the same price as seeing a show at the theatre or a concert.
For your £30 you get a whole days entertainment, which is more than you can say about most things. Put it in perspective and it isn't so expensive.
