Not agreeing to reciprocal away ticket pricing.
We will now be charged £40 because we won’t agree to reciprocal away ticket pricing. Happened to Leeds (who said in a statement we didn’t agree to it) and now Sheffield Wednesday which clearly shows we are the common dominator.
I feel this is greedy from the club, I understand that they want to gain extra revenue however this comes to the fans expense as result which I don’t think is right as now a family of 4 will be spending £100 on tickets alone.
This isn’t right, it’s just greedy. |  | | |  |

How is that Town's fault? Leeds and Sheff W have much higher ticket prices than us, no?
I thought our away fans prices are similar to most other clubs | | | |

Because ITFC could’ve said to Leeds we’ll charge you £25 so that our fans get charged £25 when we go there.
Leeds away will be £47 an adult I think, unless the charge the same as we charged them, £32. |  |

Leeds offered Ipswich cheaper ticket prices for Ipswich fans at Elland road in exchange for cheaper prices at Portman Road.
The club refused that offer. | | | |

You don't have to go. No one is entitled to a ticket at a price they deem reasonable. |  |

Such a lazy thing to say.
The club could of done something that makes it cheaper for fans to go to games, which they have done before, but have chosen not to.
As a result, you can pretty much guarantee every adult away ticket will be at £35/£40 in the league.
It’s greed. | | | |

Selling cheap tickets to away fans (Leeds charged Cardiff fans £21 as a reciprocal arrangement in return for the same price in the reverse fixture) is not fair on home fans sitting in the same stand who are paying the normal price (around £30 for Town home games).
Why do LUFC and SW feel the need to charge £47 for a ticket in the first place rather than the same price as Town? | | | |

Or it is running a business?
Assume £10 reduction x average away end of 2k x 23 games = £460k revenue into the pot for FFP. | | | |

Well, I don't think that is entirely true....the Club has to generate decent income doesn't it? I mean, unless we don't want to take the next step? |  |

It takes a brave person to say something mildly negative about Ashton on here these days.
(I agree btw, although I assume the reason for not agreeing is because of the 'away fans must be charged the same as a home fan in the same/similar area' rule, and it would mean Leeds fans get a cheaper ticket than all the other away fans.) |  |

The alternative view to 'greed' is that we're skirting the edges of FFP and every penny will count if we want to be competitive with teams receiving parachute payments. If we were to do reciprocal deals with every club in the League we're going to dropping between £300-400k revenue over the course of the season - that's not insignificant.

How is it lazy?
They have a million things to deal with on a daily basis, fans wanting a cheaper ticket really falls on if the fan actually wants to spend that much or not. | |

I also think people are forgetting about the £30 cap in the premier league. We will now pay more for a championship game than a premier league game! How is that right?
If we are bound by rules that we are not allowed to do that then I understand however it didn’t stop us before unless there has been rule change since then? | | | |

On the first point that would’ve bother me as a home fan, away fans should get cheaper tickets imo.
The EFL should implement a £20/£25 cap for away fans.
The Premier League have had a £30 cap for years.
They might still end up charging us the same as we did them, who knows. | |

£1.50 booking
Plus £1.75 to post them out… |
Postage was free for years as well!
I paid two lots of postage for Sunderland, they ended up sending them in one envelope, stamped at 90p!

Lazy comparison that Sitters. Premier League clubs are all subsidised by a spunk load of broadcast money, if anyone can afford to subsidise away fans, Premier League clubs can.
It isn't 'greed' as the OP suggests, MA isn't lining his own pockets with it, its keeping us the right side of FFP, the EFL won't 'let us off' because we had reciprocal pricing.
Not to forget we sell out our away allocation every time, if the OP doesn't want to take up his away tickets, someone will.
Supply and demand innit. [Post edited 24 Aug 2023 12:51]

Price is going to be the least of our worries for a lot of us who can’t get tickets. Where we’re all these people when we were 💩 eh? |  |

Presumably because the EFL clubs are more reliant on ticket receipts than the PL clubs with their massive TV deals. | | | |

I just don't understand the use of hyperbolic phrases such as "massively wrong". It just seems so out of kilter with the general air of positivity around the club right now.
I'm not suggesting MA is above criticism, but when he has hardly put a step out of place, since he's been with us, "massively wrong" feels like an over reaction.
On the face of it, the OP may have a valid point, but could the tone be softened to match the overall feeling around the place? |  |
