The club might wait to see how many season tickets they've sold before deciding how much matchday tickets are. It might be a better way of assuring the budget.

If they were going to schedule a day off work and a day out and family holidays, is £2 or £3 difference on a matchday ticket going to matter too much?
Well it does matter to many though, I often paid £18 x 2 last season, what if it's now £24 x 2, just speculation and conjecture but 'information is power' and all that.

Yeah I can't believe we've got away with watching this 'hi-quality' top drawer football
At 'rock bottom' prices, for as long as we have.

£22 cheapest, £24 & £26 on the premium for adult just seems one flat rate whenever purchased.
Oh & £16 in family zone.

I think it's fair. Prices were very cheap last season, and we were pretty lucky to have that. Like Nick said, can't argue at all with £16.

Unless you print at home though isn't it?
Much more worthwhile to get a season ticket with zebra

£16 for me and me boy (plus cost of JSB membership) to watch definitely can't be argued with. They might need to extend the family zone!

I take it the ticket master deal has put an end to pay on the gate?

Stupid decision to end pay on the gate

You can't pay on the gate anymore? Why?

It's ridiculous, and it will cost them . IMHO

Just to be clear. I wasn't saying pay on the gate has been scraped. I was asking if it has been scraped. Can't see anything on the clubs site saying one way or the other.

The people in the club shop (I know they are outsourced now) said there would be no pay on the gate this season when someone asked them. If it is true then I'm sure the club will change their mind after a few games.

I think what they mean is you can't hand cash over on the gate. Apparently it doesn't always find its way to the club.
From what I understand there will be a much bigger on the day ticketing operation with ticketmaster staffing it and managing it.

The Crewe game early last season we payed on the gate, they were just taking
£20 and letting you in , no tickets handed over.

DC: If there is not a ticket office, can you still pay on the gate?
No, but you will be able to buy tickets at the fully staffed match day ticket office.
Utter madness imo

Twentys Plenty might be a nice principe to try and stick to, but - £2 extra for say 3000 people home and away= £6000 more money. Do that for 23 games... £138k

Wow, that's quite a hike. From £18 across the board to up to £26 - that's over 40%. You can pay £22 of course, but that's still over 20%.
Family zone is all well and good, but it's not for everyone and not everyone has kids.
The other effect will be a very uneven spread of supporters - likely that the corners will be full and the centre blocks relatively empty which will be odd. ST sales in blocks 18, 19, 21 and 22 already poor in comparison to 17 and 23 as people go for the cheaper option. I wonder what will happen if the standard zone sells out for a game, will they open up more at this price or insist that people pay the higher price until those blocks are sold?
Not going to moan about it too much, but can see a negative impact on attendances, especially if we start poorly.

So they are going to keep the away tickets capped at £20? Not a chance imo
All the other teams are quick enough to fleece Coventry fans when we're travelling away so I have no problem with us ripping off away fans travelling to the Ricoh anyway.
I remember last season the club were trying to get other league one teams to lower there away prices for Coventry fans only (as a way of returning the favour for cheap tickets at the Ricoh) and they refused so fuck em' I say.
