We’ve paid lower prices not higher in relation to other teams - it was more expensive in 2007
In recent years we have paid higher prices to see the manager be given sod all to work with. Mr King is fine to hike up the prices further still but people will expect to see it being used on the team.
I would do what Jimmy hill did, so match day tickets at say £80 - but you can buy for 3 different games for £120 - to ensure that if any of the day trippers tried to just do a single game, they would need a commitmentAlthough it wouldn’t be a great strategy it’s hardly in breach of trading laws. If promoted I’d set match day admission at £50 so the season tickets sell out
When standard season tickets go back on sale I would expect the Club to honour their pre-play off advertised prices. After all, what was the point in reducing costs after the backlash if they aren't?
No link with Doug yet
It has completely caught everyone out
I’m not moaning about it. I haven’t got a PL package either and stand to lose out myself.I couldn't afford the Premier League thing. If we go up, I will be paying £400 more than you as you'll get your money back. So, why are you moaning about it?
Yeah of course. I'd hope that the amount allocated to season tickets (say 24k?) could be sold out. I dont doubt the home end would sell out most weeks though.There’s always I think an amount set aside for pay on the day
and back to minimising away allocation and segregationYeah of course. I'd hope that the amount allocated to season tickets (say 24k?) could be sold out. I dont doubt the home end would sell out most weeks though.
You’re not pissing in the windI know I’m pissing in the wind here, but really nothing should catch the ticketing office out. Yes some events are less likely but there should still be a plan. And the fact we had ages while sorting the deal out to get things like priority orders sorted out.

Doug will be fuming this week should have been an opportunity to sell thousands of season tickets no question
It’s so basic, text book operations management practice. If you haven’t got the skills, buy it in. budget for it and learn from it.You’re not pissing in the wind
As I’ve grown older and worked with people in positions of power in various organisations I’ve realised that simple skills of organising and prioritising are not universal
The club should be reaching out to those who know about how these things should work if they haven’t got the professionals in place within the organisation and even if they are they aren’t perfect and don’t know everything and make mistakes
Not to make excuses but just to seek to understand with a bit of empathy

Different chairman but absolutely fair shout

Nonsense, stop making stuff up. Loads at this level charging less than us.We’ve paid lower prices not higher in relation to other teams - it was more expensive in 2007
Those prices are good, considering they have a waiting list. Filling their tiny ground is easy for them.
If Doug King came out and said, ‘we didn’t expect to be here so soon, and to be competitive in the long run, we need that extra support from fans’. Would anyone have any complaints?
Personally, I’d understand. I’d obviously want my season ticket as cheap as possible but I also want to watch a competitive team.
I would tell him that’s fine provided the manager sees the extra cash
Let’s see I won’t be the only person who has said itIt’s so basic, text book operations management practice. If you haven’t got the skills, buy it in. budget for it and learn from it.
The £400 pound season ticket should have been released by now. I hope they do it?
To me, during difficult times, it is an opportunity to engage with the fan base.
I quite like the incentive for keeping a season ticket idea. More relevant whenever you're scummy lower league mind you!
What was the price at Luton this season?

who cares I’ve no idea
You care enough to post about how we compare to other clubs
My friend was told by a Luton fan that there is a rumour they are considering ground share with MK. This has not been independently verifiedWe’ve always compared favourably in general
The Luton stadium is a dump and also has it seems a waiting list
It’s more than us from what I see
Yep 14 weeks of work £8m to get ground up to standard.My friend was told by a Luton fan that there is a rumour they are considering ground share with MK. This has not been independently verified
just heard same from a friend - I think they should just forfeit now, and we will just go to wembley for a kick aroundYep 14 weeks of work £8m to get ground up to standard.
I heard mk Dons on radio 5
Still getting one, so no panic !Season tickets will no doubt go on sale this week. Hope the decision to wait until after the final doesn't backfire too much. We'd have sold shitloads over the past few weeks, and we really need the backing next season. I fear we will lose a lot of sales now, all that to try and get a few extra quid from people if we went up, something that came with a massive financial prize anyway. Bad commercial decision.
Hopefully I'm proved wrong and STs fly out, but I think some sales will be lost.

I think we'll see an increase on last season but think it would have been more if they'd been released a week or two ago.
I know a non ST holders who are getting STs this season including some who've gone for the Premier package.
