I won't have a go at the owners because it makes no difference and I am not going to waste energy on being negative.
It's great for families, it's ok for 16-18, it's ok for 14-15 years olds.
I will also note that it is set at a price to be competitive on the field.
But why didn't they listen? Make a gesture, grab some goodwill on the back of Wembley? Sell it that we are embarking on a journey together......
Yes it's not the work of savvy operators that's for sure
That's what I mean about the pr side of it. Free things if buying by x date, less better things if by y. Etc

Hardly a question dodge is it? The price doesn't bother me too much, but think they could have done much better with pr about it all.

Not dodged anything there.
You are the master of ambiguity and in this case using the deflection of PR to mask what Is a shocking decision, irrespective. You don't need to be a regular poster to see this daily.

Agree, just a gesture as an acknowledgement that this season has been a car crash- £20 quid off or something, nothing drastic. This is a PR calamity.

It's not a deflection is it? Unless I can see into the future when I said the same thing a while ago.

Should I pretend to be angry about the price?

it's principle mate. We've just been relegated to the bottom tier after an appalling league season, they know many ST holders are talking about not renewing, it's just another example of their arrogance and total disregard for the support.

Exactly, 13 a game or whatever isn't much at all.

I get where your coming from on the principal part of it as I think a cap of £299 all over should of been set like a few seasons ago. However I feel £13/£14 or £16 for a farther and son for a Saturday afternoon is acceptable despite it being a league lower.
Yes I'd love it if we adopted the Bradford approach but there is no way we will have a following anywhere near that while sisu are still here.
Like most have said they are out, so why would a business set out to operate at a heavy loss when people have declared there stance for months.
Don't get me wrong I want these feckers out as much as anyone but it's inline with the vast majority of league two.

Mad. I was tiltering but it just feels like a slap in the face. They had the chance to offer an olive branch on the back of a feeling of recent good spirits with Wembley etc.. I might be being paranoid but it feels like we are in a game with our owners and this is a statement from them that they have control over us.

fraid two of our 4 have been making strong noises about not renewing - this will likely push them away, and we other 2 will follow.

oh dear sisu, think you've really f44ked it.

End of the day it's what your happy to pay. I'm paying £16 to watch a game at home. How many will say they will go away instead and then pay double that, I averaged £30 on away tickets.
It is £30 max in the Prem for an away ticket.

Bradford started the low season ticket prices when they were in division 2 and sold a lot more. I don't care anyway I'm quids in after all I'm only 12

Well at least Tim can say we were a top 8 budget, then drive the fan base down,
Then blame us for having a bottom 8 budget yet again........

I was saying not renewing for the arguement fuck um I'm out now.

I was fully intending to renew but I probably won't know. Its a complete pisstake. Even if you just had a short super early bird for renewal with £25 off it would be something. The same, or higher, price for what will undoubtedly be an inferior product is a joke.

Every year we get the line of 'good for the division' or 'inline with what other clubs charge', can't do that now. Looking at the price of football survey we'll have one of, if not the most, expensive season tickets next season.

I don't blame you at all Nick. This is exactly what they know will happen. Those that don't want to go will use this as a reason to say they aren't going and those who will go anyway, will pay up.

I am surprised they didn't raise it to increase revenue from the die hard fans who will go whatever the cost.

Then again, the same price for an inferior product is raising the price I suppose.

I'm disappointed by the prices, a token gesture reduction would have been nice. I am however, fed up of hearing bradford continually mentioned. We're not Bradford, get over it.

You're right £13.00 a game isn't bad. However why after we have just watched the worst city team in forever would anyone in their right mind want to pay the same as they have this season to watch us In a league below

so they've re-classified some sections thus pushing up prices?

Sorry for my ignorance I'm a block 16 down and out!

yes, standard plus were a half way house, price wise, between standard and premium. There were 3 blocks, 2 in south and 1 in west. They've been reclassified as premium, though how a view on the quarter line can be classed as premium is beyond me.

Another thing is the early bird finishes on 31st May, so you will have no idea how the team will be looking. If it was end of June beginning of July atleast you have some idea of how the team is going to look.

Fans are with there owners tho, we ain't here. Say they did offer the Bradford deal yes you'd have a few more faces but the budget would be down heavily while sisu are here as everyone has said.
Add that to the same faces will come back and pay on the gate if the football works anyway.

I think the zones are pointless, it's not as if some places have restricted views with pillars. Should only be zones with things like corporate.

I thought this whole thing was scandalous but I didn't realise that, that's just took it up a couple of more levels of cuntishness.

The Bradford thing was based on 12000 reason tickets sold if they weren't the price went up they could have done something similar here

Controversial as this may be, I don't get the comparison to Bradford.

Whether Bradford do their tickets for £150 or more, they have a fan base. Always have, always will.

Let's say, had we reduced ours to £150, how many who aren't already ST's or how many who'd already decided not to go next season would buy? I don't think it'll make a difference imo!

I don't think charging the same as before, or in some case more with the changing to a two-zone system is a wise move. I agree it will alienate more fans who were either 50/50 on next season, or even some who were set on going!

I am genuinely worried about our attendance figures next season more than I was before this was announced!

Maybe the Butts will be a suitable home for us at this rate :(

Maybe they could state anybody that went to Wembley gets £50 off a season ticket (most season ticket holders anyway)

That will increase sales by a good thousand I would presume.

CCFC said the plus zone was scrapped after supporter feedback. Must be our fault then.
