Cast your mind back a few weeks and try to recall where we finished last season.

Plus branding on the front doors possible in view of a few thousand people in the blocks across. Additional advertising for businesses wanting to show off.

Unfortunately small businesses like Surprise Shirts and Sky Blue Tavern are not the target audience.
I don’t get why you’re so invested in it to be honest. If they don’t sell I’m sure they’ll reduce the prices next season.
No company, outside of marquee club sponsors, gets a box at a Championship club and uses it for commercial reasons expecting it to yield a return. I worked for two companies who had a box in the early Ricoh years. Almost never invited a client. It was nothing more that a perk, a treat for the company owners who were city fans. For one it was more of a vanity exercise to be honest. These corporate boxes never get close to paying for themselves.
At 25K you might be testing the loyalty of these smaller local businesses. But, perhaps the boxes will fill at the higher price and it's a case of tough shit for those who cannot afford it. We'll see.
Norwich same price and it’s a hotel room

because if you know how football works. it’s all about momentum. When you start upsetting fans then it back fires. King has had an easy ride thus far. let’s hope in 2 months we have a product on the pitch to reflect the price increase. otherwise unrest will begin again and we know how that plays out.
The club loses money.

I'm very confident mate if I'm honest. The interesting thing for me is what current boxes holders choose to do. Whether to move to the general seating or to fill the lounges and new Mill package.
It may well be the priority but if you want to attract better quality players sponsorship etc you have to look at the whole business model.

I won’t be so sure. Genuinely hope I’m wrong and we get a lot more income which will boost the transfer kitty. you’ll no doubt see a few move into the cheaper option but even then, many who used to take kids in those lounges will no longer be able to with no concessions

Yep, bigger businesses waiting the wings thankfully, so expecting all to be snapped up pretty quick.

so basically the club want their corporate offering to be aimed at corporate clients and not 12 mates on the piss?
The reaction on the season tickets was people complained then we nearly sold as many in a few weeks to date as we did all last season?
Should we keep everything at league 2 prices in case we end up back there?
I don’t really understand your perspective. Yes, hypothetically we could have a poor season but the stadium could also be destroyed by a meteorite.

As a now definitive ex-boxholder, I do get the point that prices had to go up. Expected them to be around double if I’m honest, which would have been ballpark £15k+VAT. It’s a colossal jump and I think it’d have worked better to split it over 2 seasons. The challenge they now have is that ‘if’ they don’t sell well there is a huge range of where the optimal price-point sits. Hope they manage to sell them at the inflated price. Not ideal that Premier League package is now closed as well (not that I was taking it up anyway).
It'd such a daft take isn't it. Even if the club break even on the boxes and have some spare they can offer single match packages at a premium rather than underselling them to fill them. Will make the whole experience more exclusive.

You mean those who paid league 2 prices to take the family to see top end championship football will no longer do it because our club is finally being run properly and they’re throwing their dummies out??? Fucking GOOD!
Good shout. Most likely none will go empty.
Didn't you actually get the family zone?

The subject is always going to be divisive because it involves money, the root of all evil as the saying goes. But to put some perspective on it last season I was more than happy to pay £150 each for my two grandchildren's season tickets. They have increased the price by 550% for each of their season tickets !! £300 has now become £1650, understandable people have an opinion don’t you think

I think King is confident he will sell them, he will have put the feelers out I’m sure.

Given he was to SISU what Nadine Dorries was to Boris Johnson, he's the first opinion that's made me think this might all be a good idea!

Dunno how I’ll cope without his constant tweets showing off his pestering of the players if I do say so myself
