I would have bet my life savings next season would start BCDs.
But the way the government are moving the goal posts and ignoring their own guidelines I'm not so sure now.
In fairness we should be the least affected by this out of all the efl teams. For this season at St Andrews (which has a capacity of 29,409), our AVERAGE attendance for the 2019/20 season has been 6677. This works out as 22.7% over the season, and so, assuming we’ll still be at St Andrews and play with 30% fan allowance, we should be fine as opposed to teams who are used to playing in 3/4 full stadiums week in week outTheres talks of stadiums being allowed to run at 30% capacity. Not sure then though
Sunderland will have a gaping hole in their cashflow so there'll be frantically tying to get cash in from ST's sponsorship etc.Wondering what will happen
Sunderland put on sale saying would be a streaming service if not allowed in ground
We have 2 in our household but only need 1 streaming pass
Also in championship around 10 games would be televised anyway as all midweek games are on sky
Be an interesting decision

At least they don't have to worry about paying any promotion bonuses
He’s talking about making money not paying it outThey could sell Burge
Just got to find that sweet point to balance demand and pricing, Id say 500 too much, 420 in the "premium" blocks, 380 elsewhere feels about right to me.If championship football is guaranteed next season and back at the ricoh then surely it's best to maybe double them in price so we can have a bit more cash for players? £500 aseason isn't that bad for championship football.
I don't think we ever have had pricing tiers, not that I can remember anyway. Shortened season will likely mean more midweek games, likely less walk ups on the day unless were overachieving. Games against a team like Norwich playing on a Tuesday could easily knock 6-7000 off the potenital attendance, especially being available behind skys red button.Has the category thing been done before? I cant remember now. Ironically I know Birmingham used to do it. In fact I think they might still do it. I agree with your pricing. I know its unlikely to happen but a hardcore of 12-15k st holders would be great.
I think I remember pricing tiers in the premier....(or perhaps division one), with gold for the likes of Liverpool down to bronze.I don't think we ever have had pricing tiers, not that I can remember anyway.

Obviously the bigger questions are where were playing and how many are allowed in
yes i'm sure we did have tiered matches in the pastI think I remember pricing tiers in the premier....(or perhaps division one), with gold for the likes of Liverpool down to bronze.
Or am I imagining that?
Somebody will correct or deny it....
What happened to £20 is plenty? Real danger of pricing out a portion of potential supporters if those are the prices.Just got to find that sweet point to balance demand and pricing, Id say 500 too much, 420 in the "premium" blocks, 380 elsewhere feels about right to me.
Could see them bringing in categorys for single game tickets also,
Villa, Norwich, Blues, Sheff Wed tier A £30,
Forest, Stoke Middlesboro Tier B £27
Wigan, Rotherham Hull Tier C £25
Got to capitalise on big teams bringing 4000+, theres 7-8 teams in that league that will do that so milk them

Presuming we get promoted and for the time being BCD, think we have to just budget mainly for TV money and take a very modest view of returns for "season ticket/streaming sales".Expect streaming to be very expensive per season and per game , it has to be otherwise there will be no money
Can’t say I agree with that. Just pricing out the average man again. Can’t say I was impressed (but can afford it fortunately) when Ipswich charged us £27-28 in March for L1. Far too much for that level and although we may be in a higher division next season I think £25 is plenty.Just got to find that sweet point to balance demand and pricing, Id say 500 too much, 420 in the "premium" blocks, 380 elsewhere feels about right to me.

Keep them at what they are for current season ticket holders as a thanks from the club for sticking by them even if were back at ricoh
Slight increase if bought before a certain date say upto £300 for new season ticket holders and then after a date upto £350.
That was a campaign about away ticket prices. It was also launched in 2015 so you've got 5 years of inflation to add for a start.What happened to £20 is plenty? Real danger of pricing out a portion of potential supporters if those are the prices.

You're going to get families watching on one TV / mates congregating in one house splitting the fee. It's going to be a very difficult deciding what you could charge before driving people to illegal streams. I've paid roughly £60 per game on tickets, trains and a drink for me and my lad, but I don't think many would stump up that much for a match pass. £40 would be reasonable as it would be at least 2 of us watching, though doubless the relatives would be knocking on the door.
However ... make it cheaper and more would probably watch in their own home and not want to muck around trying to join the facebook group, or catch an unreliable dodgy stream. Don't forget a lot of people have lost their jobs and will have to cut back accordingly.
On the plus side - you'd get the same amount of people "going to" away games.
Difficult ball to juggle.
Whilst I agree, that would just give our fans more reason not to go. They were kicking off at the league one prices even though we’ve frequently been one of the best value tickets in the league.If championship football is guaranteed next season and back at the ricoh then surely it's best to maybe double them in price so we can have a bit more cash for players? £500 aseason isn't that bad for championship football.
I think for a lot of people, £20-£40 for a tv match is too expensive.There was me thinking 20 pounds was expensive ....
I'm sure Sheff Wed and Leeds have charged upwards of £40 to away fans in the Championship, be prepared for that if you thought Ipswich was expensive.Can’t say I agree with that. Just pricing out the average man again. Can’t say I was impressed (but can afford it fortunately) when Ipswich charged us £27-28 in March for L1. Far too much for that level and although we may be in a higher division next season I think £25 is plenty.
Thing is though,it cant stay cheap forever can it? Not if we want a competitive squad cos let's be honest the owners arent really gonna help are they. Itd be interesting if someone could find a list of championship clubs st prices for this season.Whilst I agree, that would just give our fans more reason not to go.

350-400 and we may get back to our 8000 ST holders again
