Up from £10 (I think it has been under 11's not under 12's until now) to £50. A master stroke - reduce the number of kids coming to PR. They've abolished one of the few parts of the previous ticketing strategy that they had right.
Clowns. |  |

Apparently every game attended they get £2 back so after 23 games a ST is effectively £4, bargain you say, trouble is out of those 23 games at least 10 are night games which a lot of kids won't be able to do, and the £2 credit is to spend in the shop... |  |

You get points on your card, not cash. Basically you'll spend them in the shop |  | | |

I'm sure they are patting themselves on the back for what they see as a clever marketing strategy. It isn't and they'll lose a lot of adult season ticket sales as a result as well as reducing the number of young children at games. | |

Well yes, regardless of what's behind it, the headline will be "Kids prices up by 500%." | |

I have 2 under 11s at 10 quid currently and not happy tbh. If I want to spend money in the club shop I will but this is forcing you to spend 46 quid to basically get your own money back. Shocking idea and someone must think they are being clever.
Should of just left em at a tenner easy win. |  |

£50 for the year is hardly bad, and the reason for doing so is clearly explained, i.e adults exploiting the current system. With the reward system as well it clearly makes sure the genuine young supporters don't miss out, sure most spend quite a bit in the club shop in any case at some point during the season.
The changes to U19 & U23 should be applauded also. |  | | |

Adults buying a ticket, even if had no intention of taking a child with them, clearly explained in the article. | | | |

How is that exploiting it though? Do the adults get a discount on their ticket? |  |

Here you go:-
The £10 season ticket for under-11s has been scrapped, in part due to abuse with some fans buying tickets “just so they could have a seat in the Family Enclosure or have an empty seat next to them”, | | | |

So to stop a few people putting more money into the club than they need to, the club are potentially pricing other fans out?
Great financial sense |  | | |

But to "exploit" the system, don't you still have to provide proof of age when buying the child ticket? I did when my children had £10 tickets. |  | | |

Sorry should have been a mind reader, having not seen that post.
If I still had a child who was U11. I wouldn't have a issue paying
the £50 and getting money back to spend in club shop.
£40 increase spread over the year by DD, but ones who go will
get that back in any case to spend at the club. | | | |

So no concessions for mature students basically? But regular students will be paying a lot less. I know that's tough on you (I was a mature student myself) but I imagine the mature student demographic is fairly small.
Just trying to look at this rationally and objectively. | |
