No doubt, the differential will increase I think.
On a per game basis mine is about £20 in the championship and £25 if Prem next season. In its own right not ludicrous, albeit a chunky jump from this season. I'd expect day prices to be £45 in North / South stands. |
Think I paid £40 for Churchmans upper for West Ham dead rubber last time. If they wanted to sell more memberships, they should make it cheaper for day trippers who have one to incentivise them to shell out £40 a year etc.
I'm guessing a lot more will renew when we go up for a slim chance of a ballot ticket to wherever. But if they know a home game also has a bit off that might make them more viable. |  |

Yes they did mine automatically when I qualified, they may want proof of you age if they haven't already seen it. I just emailed them a copy of my driving licence. |
Just rung the ticket office and they have confirmed exactly what you have said. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

12% might sound a lot, but we were well behind other clubs in the league for pricing and are simply doing a bit of catch up and it's justifiable on the basis we're a top club with a decent matchday experience (imo).
I'm more p*ssed off with how much the diesel/petrol and parking costs, costs me more in fuel and parking than the average price of my two tickets lol!
Plus, the more income Town gets the more they can spend, blame FFP, whilst the owners 'could' fund the club, we need turnover to be able to be competitive. |  | | |

36% increase on a cost per game basis if we go up.
Season ticket holders isn't great revenue when demand is so high. We've sold out Sunday, the 9,000 or so who don't have a season ticket have paid £35 to be there, the 21,000 who do have paid something in the region of £20. Over a season that's £3m of revenue gap between a £20 seat and a £35 seat.
They're pushing the ST price so much because they know they can, we'll sell 21k season tickets whether they're at todays prices or 20% more, that's the harsh reality. I feel like there should be some reward for loyalty for those around in the darker days, but I know its naive thinking. [Post edited 16 Apr 11:15]

Also to be fair, we're one of the few clubs that offer a 12 months interest-free direct debit option.
For me that's a massive benefit and probably allows the club to get away with a 14% increase. My ST has gone up from £45.91 to £52.33 per month, the cost of a pint. That's the way I look at it anyway. | | | |

Still a big discount compared with buying a ticket each game, makes sense given the demand.
To buy a ticket in SBR Upper for each game would cost £924 (assuming 10x Grade A @ £43 and 13 x Grade B @ £38).
Compared with the updated season ticket price of £617, I make that a 33% saving, which feels very fair as someone on the waiting list...
EDIT 2: Mixed up the blocks. Corrected my figures.
Edit: buying per game prices based on cost this season... Assuming it's going up next year! [Post edited 16 Apr 13:28]

Yes but that line of thinking is what they want. It's all spreadsheet thinking.
The reality is that season ticket holders are the lifeblood of the club. There's about 12000 who were there during the dark days and would be there no matter what. They are who keep the club going during crisis periods. We were down to 8000 during the pandemic ifollow years.
They are the soul of the club. And not another business decision.
Because this time won't last forever. There will be another time when they need that loyalty and commitment. And stuff like this is very short sighted.

My first thoughts are that is too expensive for me. I think those on the waiting list will get a chance from me giving up. That's life I guess. |  | | |

I think it's utter BS, frankly.
If it isn't, those on the waiting list who haven't bought match tickets this season for the games that haven't sold out should be taken off it immediately. My feeling is the bulk are chancing their arm just waiting for PL football. | | | |

That’s handy as I’m looking to move , there might be a few not renew with better seats , increase personally doesn’t bother me as I will always renew regardless, but I can understand why some would not or cannot . | | | |

I’m going to give up buying a program and pint in the ground, should cover the extra cost. | | | |

At the end of the day it's supply and demand, they know people will pay as thy have people to replace anyone that leaves. Yes the amount for the club is relatively small but they are going to build a new stand that has to be funded. | | | |

Yep agreed, if we get into PL then I'd imagine 3-4k if we stay in Championship i'd imagine it will be under a thousand.
I've been at games this season where the whole block behind me has been empty, with the resale site you'd expect non ST scooping up those, but even then they haven't. | |

The fact that places in the queue haven't been advised, despite MA harping on about the 6k waiting for a ticket, should tell you all you need to know.
It's absolute BS, calculated to scare you into keeping your ST, lest you be sent to the back of a 6,000-long queue. | |

I don't get either of those. My model for going to football is already ultra streamlined. No way could I make any savings. | | | |

This increase will give them approx another £1m which is so absolutely feck all in the grand scheme of things. [Post edited 16 Apr 13:44]

I have wondered that for a long time. Is the 6k queue alongside Loch Ness looking for Nessie? If so why so many empty seats on match days? In particular mid week games. [Post edited 16 Apr 13:48]

First of all, an admission that I c*cked up my figures by looking at the wrong block.
Actually 33% less than buying game per game, which still feels a fair compromise to strike, rewarding fans for loyalty.
I get what you are saying, and I do agree the prices need to stop going up across the board.
It is going to dissuade a whole new generation of fans from getting involved and becoming the lifeblood of the club. Younger fans (not talking about myself) need to start from somewhere, and will typically be buying game per game before investing in a season ticket.
In a roundabout sort of way, what I'm saying is, season tickets still seem (from the outside) affordable at this moment in time, considering what having one gives access to. Going week-to-week without one is becoming increasingly less affordable.
I agree with the point that something needs to change and the increases cant keep happening, for ST holders or day trippers. | |
