We’ve paid lower prices not higher in relation to other teams - it was more expensive in 2007

I would do what Jimmy hill did, so match day tickets at say £80 - but you can buy for 3 different games for £120 - to ensure that if any of the day trippers tried to just do a single game, they would need a commitment

im sure they will - I suppose they could offer those prices on hold for a couple of weeks and then hike them

I know I’m pissing in the wind here, but really nothing should catch the ticketing office out. Yes some events are less likely but there should still be a plan. And the fact we had ages while sorting the deal out to get things like priority orders sorted out.

I’m not moaning about it. I haven’t got a PL package either and stand to lose out myself.
Pragmatically, the club needs the extra revenue because we’re starting so far behind the competition.
On one hand, supporters bemoan the amateurish running of the club when it comes to selling tickets for the playoffs. Yet, the prospect of paying money for a premium product has people up in arms.
The mentality of the club needs to change. We could be a premiership club by next week.

Yeah of course. I'd hope that the amount allocated to season tickets (say 24k?) could be sold out. I dont doubt the home end would sell out most weeks though.

and back to minimising away allocation and segregation

You’re not pissing in the wind
As I’ve grown older and worked with people in positions of power in various organisations I’ve realised that simple skills of organising and prioritising are not universal
The club should be reaching out to those who know about how these things should work if they haven’t got the professionals in place within the organisation and even if they are they aren’t perfect and don’t know everything and make mistakes
Not to make excuses but just to seek to understand with a bit of empathy
Doug will be fuming this week should have been an opportunity to sell thousands of season tickets no question

What was the price at Luton this season?

Absolutely, if we lose on Saturday then the waiverers probably won't commit to next season. I would guess quite a few would have if season tickets had been available this week.

It’s so basic, text book operations management practice. If you haven’t got the skills, buy it in. budget for it and learn from it.
The £400 pound season ticket should have been released by now. I hope they do it?
To me, during difficult times, it is an opportunity to engage with the fan base.
All that would do is encourage a black market as people would sell their st on a game by game basis.
Given also we're not allowed to charge away fans more than £30 it would create a huge disparity. We're actually going to have to lower prices to away fans if we're promoted
This scramble by some to hike prices makes no sense to me. It is bad business, especially as we'd likely be back at this level in a year. What's the point in pissing off thousands of supporters simply to raise turnover by 0.5%?
If promotion means it's going to be £50 per game, you have to question whether it's really worth it.

If Doug King came out and said, ‘we didn’t expect to be here so soon, and to be competitive in the long run, we need that extra support from fans’. Would anyone have any complaints?
Personally, I’d understand. I’d obviously want my season ticket as cheap as possible but I also want to watch a competitive team.
Nonsense, stop making stuff up. Loads at this level charging less than us.

Those prices are good, considering they have a waiting list. Filling their tiny ground is easy for them.

I would tell him that’s fine provided the manager sees the extra cash
The extra cash would be about £1 million, it would make no real difference and how would we even know given the extra £100 million we'd be getting anyway. You could spill that much money on a bad transfer fee negotiation for 1 player.
All the years of shit we've been through and some people's very first instinct is to price people out. Next season would be a free hit, let's take that together and ensure that those who committed 12 months ago are able to come along for the ride.

I quite like the incentive for keeping a season ticket idea. More relevant whenever you're scummy lower league mind you!

We’ve always compared favourably in general
The Luton stadium is a dump and also has it seems a waiting list
It’s more than us from what I see

My friend was told by a Luton fan that there is a rumour they are considering ground share with MK. This has not been independently verified

Yep 14 weeks of work £8m to get ground up to standard.

just heard same from a friend - I think they should just forfeit now, and we will just go to wembley for a kick around
Season tickets will no doubt go on sale this week. Hope the decision to wait until after the final doesn't backfire too much. We'd have sold shitloads over the past few weeks, and we really need the backing next season. I fear we will lose a lot of sales now, all that to try and get a few extra quid from people if we went up, something that came with a massive financial prize anyway. Bad commercial decision.
Hopefully I'm proved wrong and STs fly out, but I think some sales will be lost.

I think we'll see an increase on last season but think it would have been more if they'd been released a week or two ago.
I know a non ST holders who are getting STs this season including some who've gone for the Premier package.
Hopefully it won't have much of an impact, but I know a couple who were primed to buy a week or two ago who I know will now likely not bother. Sure to be quite a few others.
We'll have new ST holders of course, but also the usual 10%-20% that don't renew (people who have moved away, gone to Uni, have new work commitments, health issues or have passed on, those in financial difficulties etc.). Overall I think we will sell a similar amount to last season hopefully.
