FairI agree about FZ.
Should be a minimum of 1A + 1C that should come to a significant amount more than an adult ST. Any extra adult tickets should cost the same as other parts of the ground.
Fair
For me, if the kids were 'priced out' or just didnt enjoy going I probably wouldnt have an ST.
I know theres probably not many like that but the enjoyment of seeing them enjoying being fans is what makes it for me. If they weren't there id probably just watch it on the stick all the time. Been there and done the whole getting shitfaced with the lads for the game, past that now
Huddersfield had the cheapest STs in think. £250 for all areas of the ground.See this nonsense all the time. Let’s say we sold 20,000 STs at £350. That’s £7million. About one third of what we received from ONE player sale in the summer.
Now Doug could set the STs at £250 each and still net £5million in sales. That £2million is not going to make our break our season at this point (and there’s no chance he reinvests all of it anyway), but a saving of hundreds of pounds would be massive to a struggling family.
Granted, it’s not just Doug & Coventry, most clubs in the top two tiers massively overcharge. Premier League clubs could afford to let every fan in for free every game - ticket sales make up a tiny fraction of their income.
Was replying in a rush. Should have said operating costs rather than the NMW comparison. But was all I could think of lol. Still, some people wouldn’t even factor stuff like that in!
Yes, the wages of concern are those on minimum wage, not the players on £15k/week
What percentage of a season ticket price do you think is for NMW wages?
Lad turns 18 this year and getting divorced so will probably have to use finance for the fist time, so hoping prices don't go up too much. How long if finance over 9/10 months?Mark robins hinted they will be released shortly today on the radio .. what are we thinking ... price rise , freeze ?
Anybody not renewing ?
We will be renewing , I also fancy us to break this seasons record

Yeah was a fair while back anyway, sorry to hear that mate!Lad turns 18 this year and getting divorced so will probably have to use finance for the fist time, so hoping prices don't go up too much. How long if finance over 9/10 months?

No need, Nick. He was always going to turn 18!Sorry to hear that.
They do over 10 months
Not sure if they charge interest but a 0% purchase credit card is what I did last year and allowed me 12 months to pay it off.Lad turns 18 this year and getting divorced so will probably have to use finance for the fist time, so hoping prices don't go up too much.

I guess you don't work in public relationsIncrease the JSB prices and keep the rest of the ground the same.

Not great tbh, they're going down when the rest of the league is going up. Official attendance tonight was 2,192 so plenty of empty seats. Play off quarter final 2nd leg next Sunday so hopefully a decent crowd for that.How are attendances at the Blaze these days? No to derail the thread but I was curious. I've seen a few highlights clips and the arena looked half empty. I used to go a lot about 15 years ago and it always seemed busy, and the team were actually competitive.
It does seem likely that the price will be rising.Think the Premier Package means the base price has to rise, otherwise where’s the benefit in fixing it at £500?

Will be renewing on Premier League Package so not directly affected but I hope any price increases are minimal.
We've only just got attendances to 80% of stadium capacity. I feel there's much more to be gained long term in continuing to drive the trend in growing numbers of STH rather than any short term financial benefit from a large price hike.
That was always going to be the case when dangling the "free PL ST" carrot for paying £500. There's no way I could afford two tickets at that price, which is why I hope Doug doesn't get too greedy.Think the Premier Package means the base price has to rise, otherwise where’s the benefit in fixing it at £500?

I hope he has learnt lessons from last year, the mess over corporate tickets meant many of us who felt priced out of the corporate area last year meant 12,000 people already purchased ST's before we had chance to choose a seat. I know boo hoo me but it was a total sh*t show. just announcing all tickets at the same time this summer would be a start. I would expect 4% - 5% increase for certain, I hope nothing more than that but we shall see. It is a shame to see boxes empty this season, I dont know the actual number but it looks like its in double figures.there is no point in getting greedy. Look at the corporate boxes. Got that massively wrong. We are a great side and improving every season. Even factually. More points every season so next season could be huge. Thing is though you have to plan for when the times are not so good. I don’t think he will go too greedy. He seems to love it and knows what he is doing. Let’s hope
you would only need to sell 150 to make it pay . Also many people complained that FZ had sold out this season, so there maybe some willing to pay a bit moreProbably stating the obvious here, but if you raise the costs of the FZ season tickets by too much, you will likely lose quite a few. I think we will see that happen, hence why I think the ST sales will most likely stagnate or drop slightly.
Fag packet maths - lets say theres 3000 FZ tickets. At least half of them are kids STs. Probably more likely towards 2000. You increase ticket prices too much and you'll lose 750-1000 of them. Are we going to sell 1000 more STs at much higher rates elsewhere in the ground? Unless we reach Wembley again, I don't think we will.
Kids ST in block 18 is already £125kids prices have to increase as do adults in the family zone - too many empty seats there (Even for yesterdays 3pm saturday kick off)
i think £125 kids and £350 adult us much better - so still getting dad and 2 kids for £600

we dont want empty seats £50 a ticket was too cheap, and needs to be at least £5 a game even based on 20 games - so minimum of £100
£5000 for anyone with a 'can I have your shirt' sign£550 adults anywhere in the standard parts of the ground .
FZ £350 adults +£75 x 1 child £100 for 2nd child .
£1000 for any kid with acne up to the age of 18 that sits next to me
