2005-06 ST prices. (3 Viewers)

[Frank Sidebottom]

Found this in the loft amongst a bunch of old programmes and fanzines the other day.
Were our tickets too expensive back then or are they too cheap now?
(Adjusted for inflation that same £50 JSB ticket would be around £90 today.)

They've been cheap for years. Ridiculously cheap - especially for championship football.
A business man comes in wanting increased revenue to put more into squad etc, brings tickets broadly in line to average Championship prices and people kick off.

Simple innit.

Adjusting for inflation, the £352 cost of a regular adult season ticket in 2005 would come out to about £600 today.

Also lol at that poster layout

2 years ago the parking ST in P1 was £93. Last year it was £230 so that's a massive rise on top of a ST.
There's a price to pay for success!

I can't understand why everyone is so keen to pay more. With away tickets (I'm aware the club don't benefit, but is reciprocated) travel merchandise f&b parking, its an expensive hobby, especially as its a weekly family trip for us. I estimate we spend 5k a year following City and that's more than enough. Marginal increases hurt.

The Great replacement is underway!(

 

[MalcSB]

Adult and 2 U14 in Family Zone equivalent would be about £776 in todays money, compared to £350 last year.
Bring back 50% senior citizens discount

nobody is keen to pay more, I’d be quite happy if the club told me my season ticket was going to be free.

most people can see that we’ve had far lower prices than other clubs for years and that was always going to change at some point

No one wants to pay more, but equally so no one wants to see us in league 1 again.

Good football costs a lot of money

 

[Blind-Faith]

And with all the extra revenue from this new TV deal , they shouldn’t punish fans with massive price hikes and threatening to revoke season tickets

 

[Evo1883]

Just make season tickets 1000 pound each to please all the price hike weirdos on here , after all we can't have a good team unless the fans pay for it ..

Jog on

I think a few can CD, but from what I see, far too many don't.
And seemingly the same people demanding we spend money/pay big wages etc ...

I think we should let everyone in for free. Doug should pay for our hobby. He should buy everyone a drink as well and buy their away tickets.

Its our club really and he is just a custodian, which means we should contribute nothing and he should pay for it all

Ofcourse , I can't stand the idea that fans have to pay for everything whilst the owner puts fuck all in .. what's he spent ???

He bought the club and then covered £5m worth of losses

 

[Evo1883]

He bought the club and then covered £5m worth of losses

He got the club for nothing and still has millions of the hamer money

If doug wants premier league football maybe he should fund it aswell as the supporters with HIS own money

Multi millionaire telling working people they need to pay for their own success

 

[Evo1883]

And fans telling other fans they should pay more if they want success , minging

 

[Evo1883]

Doug God King.. Charges 5 year olds 25 quid for cat a games

He didn't get the club for nothing. At best it was an exchange for a debt Sisu owed him

He is funding it. We're still making a loss that he is covering

 

[Evo1883]

He owns the club and is responsible for the clubs future , it's not up to us to fund promotion

Have a drive down to the training ground Evo.
Have a look around the CBS Arena.
Have a look at the list of staff/support staff in all of the different playing/non playing areas compared to a year, two/three years ago....

Where has this money come from then!?

 

[Evo1883]

We received almost 40 million over the last 12 months

 

[Evo1883]

We also added thousands onto attendances with more expensive season tickets , and matchday tickets , plus 10 plus mill in money for simply being a championship club plus the cup run .

We haven't been short , have we

People have had a drop in living standards and wages ?

It is (partially) up to us to ensure the clubs day to day operations are not running at a loss

 

[shepardo01]

Well, not really.
And how much have we spent?
And how much is our wage bill.
And how much are we having to put in to fund losses mentioned on here?

And the club has had to deal with a huge increase in electricity and labour costs

And if you can't run a football club then don't buy one

Well I'm sure the fans need to pay for that then
