Really? Then why are halfway line seats always full at other grounds?
We were the only club to not have pricer seats in those areas.

Its easy to see why ..the atmosphere is part of the match day experience, will be like Wembley for a womens match behind that goal .. no disrespect.
People have friendships developed over years , kids included in that .
I mentioned earlier in the thread this year was going to be my 1st season ticket in my life (I just turned 30 a couple of weeks ago, for reference).
Personally I think the pricing is exceptional value for me, my friends and I were taking bets on what they'd be if we got a sniff of the premiership and our guesses were a hundred higher at least.
I think that the way people are ignoring the value of the family stand offer is poor, as people have pointed out this is one of the lowest priced options in the league. I know people are reluctant to move seats, but for a few hundred quid saving, I'm pretty sure it is worth it. Who knows, there might even end up with atmosphere in two sections rather than just the old corner?
I get that people have concerns about atmosphere, but the corner was becoming an issue wasn't it. This helps to resolve the issue in a constructive way, rather than a heavy handed approach which I am sure was coming.
The area I think there's been a huge mis step is the over 60s tickets. I think this should've been put on a 'Grandfather clause' pun intended btw - where we rise existing ST holders eligibility for the 5 years. I.e. if you're 61 and have a legacy price you continue at that till 65, but if you are just turning 60 then you wait till 65.

These kids prices of 2-300 quid for u18s and u14s will be one of the more expensive around ..no doubt in this league..a 5 year old 200 quid ? It's shite

I've spoke to 5 people at work this morning that take kids aged between 8 and 15 and they are all fuming , don't want to sit behind the sun blazed goal
Because there is not much value added in our case. If you are left side of block 19 why would you pay the extra when you can move a few yards further left? Like I say, we have done this and 19 and 21 were always largely empty.
Yes, there is higher demand now, but there will be a lot of space freed up in the east stand as families are forced the migrate to the family section, so fully expect large numbers of empty seats in the premium zone.

I'd move behind the goal.
I've sat in Singers Corner for 15 years but am considering taking my nephew up to block 30 when it opens.
It's too cheap for me to turn down. Costs less to take a nephew and his mate than it is for me on my own.

If you haven’t got children you’ve got to pay almost 50% more.

But there's up to 6000 behind the goal at £50-100 which includes a JSB membership.
I'm just playing devil's advocate.

I don't think you are factoring any other factor than cost , which is not how it works for most people

Most adult seats are 16% more. It's just the three premium blocks.

If inflation comes down then prices will just rise slower.
If we get deflation then that’s when prices lower but also that the economy is in the mire.
In reality most of this inflation run has been down to fuel and energy hikes. Expensive energy, expensive production of lots of stuff and expensive transport to get them to consumer = mad inflation.
Petrol is £1.50 down from £2.00 so expect other things to follow.

No, it's the atmosphere and being with people.
I get it, I love sitting in the corner. However, they have made it so affordable behind the goal, I'm tempted to move and take a nephew.
The option is there to pay peanuts and I'm taking it. Hopefully others do. Could be great behind the goal next season.

It's not really that much different to some other parts of the ground in the jsb bit
hopefully not and I’m someone happy enough with the prices
You'll be back within 3 games. You'll hate it. It's like being in a different stadium.

Here are the season ticket prices at some of our playoff rivals for comparison. Don't think ours are that bad.
Middlesbrough
Adult: £544-£620
Adult & Under-18 in Family Stand: £590
Middlesbrough
Adult: £544-£620
Adult & Under-18 in Family Stand: £590
That’s still a significant hike for many people, and one that many other clubs in our league decided against imposing. Fair enough if we chose to do different but we shouldn’t pretend it won’t affect the atmosphere, which until now made us a standout in this division.
That’s not how inflation works.
