Town Increase Matchday Ticket Prices
Thursday, 18th Jul 2024 17:07

Town have announced their matchday ticket prices for the season ahead.

Matches will be graded A and B in 2024/25, having been graded A, B and C last season, while Super Blues members will receive discounts on their seats.

A lower tier seat for a game graded A which cost £30 to non-members and £28 to members last season will cost £38 for non-members and £36 for members in the campaign with grade B games £4 cheaper, rises of 26.6 and 28.6 per cent respectively.

An upper tier seat which cost £34 for non-members and £32 to members last year will cost £43 and £41, increases of similar percentages.

Town are continuing with concessions for 65s and over, under-23s and under-19s, as well as under-12s in family areas, priced at £9 and £7 for non-members and members respectively, compared with £5 and £7 last season.

Despite the increases, Portman Road will be among the cheaper grounds in which to watch Premier League football in the campaign ahead.

The ground looks set to be a 28,000-plus sell-out for each of the 19 league matches - compared with 23 in the Championship - with demand for 5,000 or so matchday tickets set to be very high.

Comparing this ticket prices to going to seeing a concert, I say the prices are reasonable

Nobody likes a price rise,but when you consider Leeds were charging us £47 last year fir Championship football and Toen haven't pug prices up for a while, I'd say they are being fair for these prices in the PL. They have to keep up with other PL clubs also but I suspect we are still somewhat cheaper than many.

Something tells me the current season could be the last as a season ticket holder. I get the feeling from all the players coming in that ST's are going to be a big jump higher than the 8% norm. I guess progress costs money. I am going to make sure I enjoy every second of it this year. I might need to evolve into an armchair supporter. I fear there will be others that are priced away too. Ces't la vie.

The more you look at the new away allocation, the more the current Cobbold stand looks unfit for purpose. Any development is probably years away, but it couldn't come soon enough. A more appropriate away end and 10,000 more seats are needed

Seems reasonable. Particularly when compared to concerts

Two questions from me.

How can Block Y be classed as premium seating, when most seats in this area are now RV?

Is Block L no longer family area seating? Colour coding suggests not, but this area is included in the family area prices.

This pricing is still average for championship prices some fans need to get a grip. Prob same fans who’ll come on here and moan if we didn’t spend money on new players which we need revenue from matches! just for your information we have the SECOND lowest match day ticket prices in the prem league

You know what, the club probably really thought about this - and in line with their vision and values were mindful about increasing by too much. I think these prices are fair enough..

The challenge is now (for us non-season ticketers anyway) - will there be tickets available?

Personally, I'm a self stated 'armchair' and occasional home match fan, so I love knowing that the ground will be at capacity listening to the Blue Army on the radio!

Thanks to the shrinkflation of promotion, season ticket holders are paying more than 30% more per game, not the 8% if we had stayed down. On that basis the increase for individual match prices I'd not unreasonable.

@beattiesbackpocket I haven't read anybody complain about the prices yet? Confused.

Algy. What are you talking about? My seson tickets went up £20. Thats clearly not 30% per home game.

algy added 19:21 - Jul 18
Per game, Blues1, dear chap. 17%+ fewer games for 8%+ more money. As our American owners would say, DO THE MATH. Assume you can't?

When I got my ST renewal I thought that’s gone up a lot! Then I realised I had opted to deduct team cards point for 23/24, therefore up approx 20quid. Happy then, happy now.

The more people on here comment that the ticket price rise is normal the more incentive it gives the club to continue price hikes in the future!!
The price of tickets in terms of I come in the premiership pales in insignificance compared yo the TV money and sponsorship,commercial

There is a degree of inevitability about this price hike but economics is based on supply and demand and we know that demand will be great. I do worry though that PL football is getting beyond the reach of many.

Bert...
you are 100% right. It is certainly getting too expensive for me.
I mean football in general, not just Ipswich.

£40 to watch 90 minutes of football is ridiculous tbh, and that's not a one off, that's every couple of weeks or every week if you go away.

People compare the prices with going to the theatre, but you don't go to the theatre every week for 9 months.

It's just as bad in non league, I went for a day out last season to Clacton and they charged £8 and they are in the ninth level of football.

i seriously think after going to Portman Rd for 53 years and being a season ticket holder for 40 years that this may be my last season.

I remember paying 22p as a child and my dad 50p to stand in Churchmans in the 70's.
The 1978 fa cup final was £1.20 to stand if I remember rightly.
Oh how things have changed!

Algy. I actually have done the maths. Worked out what last seasons would have cost based on 19 games. Only £1 less per game than this season will cost.

blues1 added 11:26 - Jul 19
Slade1. Ur logic doesn't work. As a season ticket holder, you won't be paying £40 per game. Unless ur in the expensive areas of the ground.if in lower sbr, or sar, it comes out at £20 per game. So, taking into account speedway, for instance, is £23 for in effect, 15 minutes of racing, id say its pretty good value. Away tickets in pl btw, are capped at £30.
