If only there was some time to buy a ticket a reduced rate before then. |  | | |

It was only a mistake in that it was a bit of a piss take given the football on show. The price 'increase' was minimal and won't have hit supporters' pockets but may have benefitted the club. |  |

Not really, had we had a halfway decent season - it would have been forgotten. |  |

I still think the really big mistake regarding season tickets was taking the concession price away from the over 60's who already had it!
Hasnt rectified that and obviously wont now. |  | | |

You have had a chance for a good discount so what is the issue? | | | |

Don’t you read threads fully? I did take advantage of the early bird.
Isn’t it OK to make comment on the situation as a whole?
I do not possess an “I’m alright Jack” persona. | |

But to summarize:
Season tickets are cheaper than last season.
But you're unhappy about this? | | | |

By 3%? Not really noticeable in the current climate, obviously.
What about the pensioners who took a massive hit last season?
To summarise, yes I am unhappy about it.
Better to try and fill the minimum 10K+ empty seats ITFC will continue to have? No? OK  | |

Look at Huddersfield as a business model.
They increased their turnover/profits massively by offering cheap tickets. It isn’t just about sticking bums on seats, it’s the additional income brought in from food, drink, merch etc. | |

It was a big risk, and paid off for them.
The flipside (if it doesn't come alongside successful football) is that you trash the value of the big revenue spinner that a football club has, and it is very difficult to get back from that. | | | |

3% is just the base rate of inflation, I have no idea how this stacks up against our competition.
I don't want to get into pricing strategy rhetoric but it isn't a simple case of "cheap product means big demand".
Looking briefly at Norwich's ticket prices, it seems like our OAP rates are broadly in line as percentages of full tickets. So maybe that's a market correction?
What would you do? | | | |

I’d opt for the Huddersfield model.
Having a full stadium is a great feeling and lifts everyone. The recent stuffing by Villa reminded me what a good atmosphere can be created (though under obvious mitigating circumstances in this particular match) at Portman Rd and that was with 20K.
Seeing 30K there regularly would be brilliant. | |

The ten quid / kids for a quid model has proven that this isn't achievable. | | | |
