Tbf it was interest free for years.
Sure it won't be long before someone complains its not interest free.
Sadly little man this question has to do with elasticity of demand. A concept that will be well below your single digit IQ.
The question actually is will the price increase adversely impact sales and the answer is no.
Still watch out the Somalians are behind you.
To purchase a season ticket, do I have to register a new account or can I use my existing CCFC customer number?
Just had a look at a few random season ticket prices.
Chesterfield (16/17) - cheapest (now) is £400 rising to £530 depending on zone. Their early bird was before end April

GIllingham (16/17) cheapest (early bird) is £370, rising to £470 after early bird

Portvale cheapest, £345 rising to £380. They also have an incentive.

Can't see why people are moaning really even with the rise in prices.
Nuneaton Town seating £10.95 per game
Cov Rugby £12.86 per game (last season)
CCFC £13 to £15 per game
For an adult, if you want to watch live sport, we are good value, especially as our overheads are a lot more than the other 2 local examples.
For an adult and 2 kids under 13 it is fantastic value.

Isn't that if you got season tickets to all of them?
Cov blaze aren't cheap I know that also. But it's longer matches tbf.
I think £299 is ok but I can not stand this premium seating bollocks. It's nonsense as the Ricoh has great views from all over. It's just another way of fleecing genuine fans. It's not like we sell out every fucking game as then I would understand it. Whoever decided to bring back premium seating needs their bumps felt. It's a joke.
well you dontYou should be a politician with the spin you put on things and the shit you chat. I know for a fact numbers will be down compared to last year and likely by a 1,000.
Anyone heard anything about club membership that cost £20 this season and gave you same priority as ST holders for cup tickets etc.
Also I could only get to 15 home games and so mainly used the match packet system which worked well for me but can't see anything listed for that either. Anyone know?

Get one for £299 then just move
I can't they blocked off the whole of the telegraph stand remember
Yep, that would be cheapest per match with season tickets, match day is more.
I don't get the argument of complaining that the middle costs more, and then saying the view is all the same. If I thought that I'd happily buy a ticket and sit in the cheaper area and get the same view, and then if there were seats available on a particular game (because we don't sell out every game), and I wanted to move to the middle, I'd just move to an empty seat (and get the same view anyway, apparently).

Well I hear what you're saying but premium seating is for clubs who sell out and therefore makes sense as you can then charge more for the premium seating. When we get 10-12k gates it's not worth it and quite frankly rips off the genuine fan even more so as the telegraph stand will be blocked off again I'm assuming so it's like you have to pay it perhaps.
The view is great all round the stadium. I dont care where I sit at the Ricoh personally having sat in most blocks. So I repeat blocking off the telegraph stand and if we do well and get 18k again like we did for gillingham then we are forced to pay extra for the middle seats if that makes sense.
(Obviously we haven't seen the match day prices yet)
I get that most clubs do the premium seating by the way and it works but normally it's clubs that sell more tickets and more of the ground. If we were selling 32k every home game then fine but at 10-12k a home game seems silly and ripping fans off.
As for £299.... Yeah standard pricing for me. Not great and not bad. £13 a game is decent let's be fair.
I think it would be more of a rip off to force people into premium seats if we were selling loads of tickets, as then there is little choice, at the moment we have a huge choice of tickets. Cinemas have premium seats regardless of whether it's full or empty, and if I have a choice that's fine I'll go cheap, if I had to pay for premium due to a lack of choice I wouldn't go (to the cinema (I rarely go anyway, it's just an example)).
When I've sat in the family stand I struggle to see the other end of the pitch, middle suits me, and you can appreciate the vision that some players have, and boo all the other ones of course (that always helps).

If the view is the same then those seats will be empty. What's the problem?
So which other clubs have had a 38% hike in prices?
Thick twat. I will ask again. Do you think we will sell more season tickets than last year?

Has anybody renewed with a JSB yet?

Yeah I see you're point and yes I have acknowledged other teams and cinemas and such like do this but I just can't understand why do it Now? Seemed to work last year not having premium seating of course

I guess the income from tickets this season showed that making everywhere cheap didn't get enough people buying season tickets, the club needs a core of people to come regardless of performances, and they know that putting the prices up in the popular areas won't put off that many, so overall income will go up. If we want to be successful on the pitch I think we have to be prepared to pay more than £11 a game.
We'll find out soon enough whether it works, but I think the trial of 'make it cheap and loads more will come' has been shown not to work.
To some extent I don't know how much all of this matters. Clearly we want as many ST holders a possible - but actually we have easily the highest number of fans who pay on a match by match basis in the league, so our gate revenues must be pretty good. Bradford's average gate was only about 1000 higher than their stated ST sales, suggesting they pretty much went through the whole season without much gate revenue at all. I'm willing to bet our gate receipts across the season were pretty much equivalent to Bradford despite a sizeable gap in average attendance.
The club know they'll sell 6000ish STs whether they hold prices or increase them like they have done, so you can't blame them for eeking out a bit more revenue, and they're hardly fleecing us.
Matchday pricing is much more important and how they set that will have a much bigger affect on gates. They made a big fuss about the 'twenty's plenty' campaign, and I hope they don't go back on that. Start pushing prices up to £24 again and that would be a big step back.
Agree on match day prices, there's no way I'd pay over £20 to go to a home game, I'd consider it away as that's more of a one off. If I didn't get a season ticket I'd hardly ever go.

It will follow the same pattern I'd imagine. The premium blocks will be more.
Good point, but will it be policed, last season you sit anywhere where seats were empty.

I doubt it, it would be impossible (unless you sit in somebodies seat)
