Brilliant effort. Breaking 11k is a big income for the club that’s certain every week. Maybe we can afford some better signings with the optimism.

Judging by the backing in January it doesn’t really matter how many fans we get through the gates the budget will remain the same

Early bird season tickets were up to about the end of June once upon a time, not sure I really give the club much credit for extending the period until a week after the previous season has ended.
Football season didn’t used to start until well after the 2nd half of August not the last week in July.

Someone’s on auto alert.
Only you could find fault in the season ticket price

It was you that raised the issue and mentioned me

Pricing is geared to revenue optimisation against competitive value.

It’s not an easy balance and how anyone can judge we hit the spot is impossible

The football season has started the first week of August for years
Think you will find that until we were relegated from the Premier League our season started the 3rd Sat in Aug. Once in the Championship it started the second Saturday in August. We only started playing the first week in August in 2015 when as part of the Sky deal in football the season would start 1 week earlier and finish 1 week later.

Thats price positioning and not marketing

Was Boddy in charge of pricing in league 2? It’s interesting if so he considers the experience to only be now worth 20% more to the consumer

Price of STs is something that's extremely difficult to increase significantly in short periods.

We've risen fast as a club, but if the price of our STs followed suit the club would see footfall drop significantly.

It's why clubs such as Bradford are idiotic for pricing their STs so low, as if they were to climb the leagues, in reality they're actually throwing millions per year in revenue because it's now nigh on impossible to bring their prices back up to a league average.

The vast majority of fans will always pay the going rate anyway if on the pitch the team is thriving.

Friend of mine just got a season ticket at Exeter City (L1 next season). For adults it is £430 sitting or £313 standing on the Big Bank. That is early bird prices as well. We have done very well with our prices.

Areas such as Exeter per capita are likely far wealthier than they are in Coventry though.

So it's of no surprise that's their price position.

Must remember as well that they are not all paying tickets, Under 12s go for free, don't know how many that equates but got to be a good few thousand. £150 for my 2 kids 13 and 15

Only in years after a major tournament

97 Chelsea was 9th August
99 Southampton was 7th August

There's absolutely no chance that many of our ST holders are under 12.

This isn't a Disney+ subscription.
Its me plus my 11 year old. I know of at least 10 of his friends who are the same age have ST holders with their parents, half of them also have younger siblings and most of them its only 1 adult.

When my eldest was u12, I used to get 2 u12's (£25) and 1 adult for me. Used to take my nephew to most games.

I'm sure a lot of kids go, but the notion that between a third and a quarter of our ST holders being U12 is a bit ridiculous.
