Next Season's Season Tickets (6 Viewers)

TrueSkyBlueLiam · Mar 4, 2013

Next season, theres no doubt that Season Tickets will be even more expensive than this season. I found it a disgusting move by SISU and the club to whack up ticket prices despite relegation. My ticket went up £28 and this season i have seen some of the worst football i have ever seen. SISU will try and squeeze as much money from us as i can. I'm not certain if i will purchase a season ticket for next season. At the end of the day, i'm 17 years old. £210 is a lot of money for this sort of football. I love the club more than anything, but to me, £210 to watch that kind of football is too much. Am i alone on this? Is anyone considering not renewing their season tickets?

I find it disgusting that food, fuel and utility bills are going up to. That's life.

torchomatic · Mar 4, 2013

Really, the "worst football you have ever seen"?

We're not exactly saving money elsewhere! Are we!?

My ST went up by a couple of quid (I was 17 at time of purchasing) and it cost me £195 (didn't get Early Bird prices) and that works out at £8 game... It isn't too bad so chill out.

Yh, i mean Saturday's game was the worst game i've ever seen. League 1 is much worse than i expected/ At the end of the day, £210 is a hell of a lot of money to a 17 year old

I'm at college full time and i have football on Saturdays. Not as if im not looking but its not exactly easy Taylor. Its not just the money. Its the quality of the football and my money goes straight into SISU's back pocket, not into the club

rob9872 · Mar 4, 2013

In fairness to the OP (despite Liam's usual nonsense) don't let the excitement and league position cloud your opinion of this season. He is only talking about home games, we are at teh lowest level for over 50 years and he is right - the football has been largely dire.

We should be paying average prices for a ticket relative to the league we're in. Can anyone produce a list of (season) ticket prices to see where we fall please? I accept that we pay market rates, but if we are paying more for better facilities, comfort, view etc then they can't use the opposite argument to then reduce the rent that we pay.

dont make judgement on the kid.not all 17 year olds are unemployed layabout chavs ffs.

torchomatic · Mar 4, 2013

I think you'll find it pays the wages of the players, stewards and other costs. Now if you buy a hot dog or a coffee then that DOES go into someone's back pocket.

The stewards are worse than useless

Its not that much when you break it down.
If you dont renew, but you pay as you go..It will cost your more if you go to over 10 games.
Depends how many times you would go tbh.

That wasn't a judgement, it was advice coming from someone who was in a similar place.

Martw · Mar 4, 2013

I am pretty sure that I read that they cannot offer season tickets for next year until the accounts had been published and signed off? - can somebody with a better understanding confirm if that is true (based on not being able to take money without being certain of having a product to sell?)

If the case, then the OP neednt worry too much, he doesnt have one to buy at all now!

rob9872 · Mar 4, 2013

My ticket is going down next year I'm joining my daughter into the JSB's so she gets a free season ticket (that's +1 on this years attendances

) and although she will only go occasionally, me and my dad will sit in the JSB area for less money

North York’s Blue · Mar 4, 2013

An average of 9 quid or so a game is very good value for this standard, you'll find that some none league clubs actually charge more.

Black6Osprey · Mar 4, 2013

I've had a ST every season since the mid 80s and I'm fairly sure this will be my last. Life is too short for this endless bullshit and I've wasted enough of it already. I will still attend as and when the mood takes me but to be honest I hope the mood doesn't take me and i can just try and forget all about it.

I'm pretty sure that our season tickets cost more than any teams above us excluding the top 10 teams in the PL. There was a study on ticket prices for Fooball lubs carried about some months ago and thats what i remember

Similar situation here, I'm still in 6th form, I go to school everyday, I also play Rugby on Saturdays, yes I've missed a lot this year but after persistence, they finally put me on at 6:30 on Saturdays so I can play Rugby.

I've said that for the past couple of years but let the season end for a month, see us sign a new player and you'll get renewed and misplaced optimism. It's in you like it's in me and without knowing you, I'm certain you'll renew

Since when have we allowed this kind on the forum?

torchomatic · Mar 4, 2013

The one by us is a nice bloke, always helpful. Anyway, they still need to get paid, don't they?

You can forgive 17 year old kids for daft statements but I was supposing you were an adult !?

rob9872 · Mar 4, 2013

Normal stewards are fine and many of them regular fans - it's just the morons in the orange coats.

In the JPT game against, Burton i think it was, there was a group of yobs behind me. I told the steward in front of me that they were abusing myself and other fans, he just laughed to himself and returned to watching the game. Stewards are not paid to watch the game, they're paid to keep fans safe ande secure, i didnt feel either. Agreed, some stewards are great and at the end of the day, they need paying, but i would actually like more decent stewards at games who DESERVE to be paid

That's BS:

At least the shit we get served up is cheap.

Our least expensive adult ST price is joint 3rd lowest in L1 and we'd be cheap for L2 to!

For last seasons:

I'd like to know where you got that info from!

You either support the city or you don't...this whole value for money thing is crap...if you want to be entertained go to the cinema

torchomatic · Mar 4, 2013

Other way round for us, Rob. We will have to start paying for my son who'll be 7 by the time the new season starts. Have to say, it's great that kids can go free until they are 7.

Well according to SBK, everyone is scared of me! :laugh:

I play rugby, but who's to say I'm not a scrum-half the size of Peter Stringer? (He's a midget if you don't know who he is.

liam why dont you get a job as a steward then you can show them how to do it properly..see the game for free .. and earn money

No. I know a 70 year old man who has supported City for 65 years and went to every home game at Highfield Road and The Ricoh until this season, cus his Season Ticket was too expensive for him. A tradition that had spanned his whole life was gone cus of the greediness of the corperate morons at this club. I have to pay for my own ST and im struggling finding the money for it. At the end of the day, the football this season has been awful except for about 4 home games and i paid £210 for the pleasure. I love my club and i will support them til the day i die, but next season we'll be paying more for the same kind of football. Whacking up ST prices this season, £28 for me, to watch football in a much shitter league is ridiculous. People who have loved this sport and this club their whole lives cant keep up this tradition cus of the prices. £210 is a lot fo money for this kind of football. THAT is why im concidering not renewing my ST, and im sure im not alone

I've been saying I'll give up on the City for as long as I can remember (apart from 87 through to early 90s) but I reckon it would be easier to get off heroin. I did give up my season ticket cos of money, time, kids but I go to that many games I'd probably be better off with one. As for next season, who knowns wtf will be happening

elephanttears · Mar 4, 2013

There is no way i will be getting a season ticket next season whatever the price is. I would rather watch a box set of murder she wrote.
