This is partly why I've always been against having premium zones, have family zone and everywhere else.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.
Who knows. To be honest they could justifiably ditch it as we didn't get the same treatment from other teams.So they are going to keep the away tickets capped at £20? Not a chance imo
including Chief Executive Officers !Me thinks Mr Anderson feels we have been getting things on the cheap.
Gillingham - £16 - £25
Millwall - Cat A - £25 - £30 - Cat B - £22 - £27
Bury - £18 - £22
Shrewsbury - £20 - £22
Bradford - £25
Bristol Rovers - £16 (Terrace) - £24
Northampton - £20 - £22 on Matchday
Chesterfield - £22 - £24
Oldham - £20 - £22
Oxford - £18 - £22
Thanks...so ours are about average at the £22 and slightly higher than average at £26, not too bad a deal really. The Family Zone prices are excellent and hopefully will attract more families.
I haven't renewed my season ticket as I lost my job just before the end of the early bird and couldn't justify buying one and not prepared to pay the full price now I have a new job and these prices will put me off going to many games.
Just get one on Zebra. Still probably better than average in the league aren't we?

Tight fuck
That makes it even more though and sitting in block 20 it had already had a good rise.
For the product being offered, I'd say last season was about right,I think it was more last year was too cheap.
I think on the cheaper ones the interest was about £25 over the year, not too bad really. £30 a month or so which is cheaper than a takeaway.
Last season was cheaper than most other teams in the league, it was far too cheapFor the product being offered, I'd say last season was about right,
As for "no pay on gate' surely they could put 1500 on the gate and
make sure they get either the cash or the tickets back.
Don't understand why we put obstacles in the way of boosting
attendances.
I just thought last year was about right, don't get me wrong I'll pay it and enjoyLast season was cheaper than most other teams in the league, it was far too cheap
I can understand if prices go well above average but they aren't
They still can go later, they just go to the ticket office round the corner to buy rather than the turnstile. With a good system now it should be a quick turnaround.I just thought last year was about right, don't get me wrong I'll pay it and enjoy
it (hopefully) but I think it will put some off.
The "pay on gate" thing worries me more , a lot of people choose to go late
as an impulse decision and this probably rules them out.
Out of interest do other clubs with Ticket master have pay on gate.
Dunno if we get a bit of buzz going I can see it being chaos, 2-3,000 trying to buy tickets from the ticket office 30 minutes from kick offThey still can go later, they just go to the ticket office round the corner to buy rather than the turnstile. With a good system now it should be a quick turnaround.
I'd love them to be much lower, it's an issue with football in general rather than just us though.
That's the worry isn't it, even a few hundred will cause havoc, if people turn upDunno if we get a bit of buzz going I can see it being chaos, 2-3,000 trying to buy tickets from the ticket office 30 minutes from kick off

It would but they'd only Q once wouldn't they, as I say why not put someI think it would be chaos with 3,000 trying to pay on the gate wouldn't it with 30 minutes until kickoff?
Or have 1 gate specifically for pay on gate? Could that work?It would but they'd only Q once wouldn't they, as I say why not put some
On the gate ?
Last season they used 26 & 27 for pay on gate (I think)Or have 1 gate specifically for pay on gate? Could that work?
It would be bad enough with several potg turnstiles as well as the match day ticket office. So will be about 4 x worse with just one queue at the ticket office.I think it would be chaos with 3,000 trying to pay on the gate wouldn't it with 30 minutes until kickoff?
We're not the first club to use ticketmaster so you would think they have a vague idea how to operate without it being complete chaos.Or have 1 gate specifically for pay on gate? Could that work?
Why would money disappear?We're not the first club to use ticketmaster so you would think they have a vague idea how to operate without it being complete chaos.
Think the main reason they're removing pay on the gate is to stop the money disappearing or the abnormally high percentage of kids and OAPs we seem to get.
People were (allegedly if any of PWKH's family of lawyers are watching!) paying cash on the gate and the money wasn't then being passed over to the club as a ticket hadn't been issued and a sale not registered. A abnormally large percentage of cash sales on the gate that were registered were kids and OAPs.Why would money disappear?
