Comment | Town Increase Season Ticket Prices
at 13:28:57
I think the biggest issue here is £27.50 flat cost for all games. That is the current Grade A price. Considering there was a grading of three tiers, what a surprise the highest price one has been selected. Season tickets are not viable for some due to work commitments or other reasons (for me, it's a time thing, I have a young family), so for the 13 or so games a season I make, it will cost me near on £360. It's a clever move by the number boffins, certainly makes the season ticket price per game, and small rise, much more attractive |

Comment | A Turning Point?
at 14:00:11
It's certainly a topic that needs looking at across all leagues. It is such a delicate dynamic when you consider the numbers. Let's look at that Reading game as you mention - 16.5K give or take. At £35 a ticket on average (happy to be corrected here, I paid £27.50 for Lower North) the turnstile take would be circa £550K. If ITFC as a business are happy with this figure then we'd be looking at the following required attendance to achieve that value;
£18 ticket - 30K attendance
£19 - 29K
£20 - 28K
£21 - 27K
£22 - 26K
£23 - 24K
£24/£25 - 23K
£26 - 22K
£27 - 21K
£28 - 20K
£29/£30 - 19K
So you see the problem, to have a meaningful reduction in ticket prices, the fans would need to turn out in numbers to prevent ITFC losing money. Cash generated by ticket sales directly affects the debt we currently own and in turn, investment etc.
That's my business view. However, as a fan of the club and of the sport, I am sick to the back teeth with being a customer. But overrun with guilt (perhaps a little dramatic) if I don't attend. The radio for me just isn't the same.
Personally, I would happily pay £20 a ticket, no graded games (I think every game I've been to this year has been Grade A) and safe standing.
Please keep in mind that values and figures are estimates and designed purely to show a trend line
