There seems to be a lot of people missing the point with the season ticket pricing. The increase in Adult tickets is only a 4.5% increase. Like all things costs go up, and a 4.5% rise in ticket prices for Adults is not unrealistic. I've seen people on Twitter who I am sure don't have kids complaining about the price of their season ticket already.
The only people who have been penalised here are the parents and the Coventry City fans of tomorrow. If the rumours are true, the cost for a child to attend the games for a season has risen by almost 50%. And of course, it won't be the child bearing that cost but the parent. But let's again remain realistic, the cost still averages out at a cost of £6 per match. Which is reasonable, especially when you can pay on a monthly direct debit.
So I have absolutely no sympathy for any non-parent complaining about the prices. Supporting your football club is a price in-elastic ritual (for those who don't know what this means, it basically means price is not an issue). It does not matter what league we are in we pay to watch CCFC and not the standard of football. Anyone who sees their support of CCFC being price elastic is quite frankly not a real fan and I'd rather not be associated with them.
Some people will use any excuse to make them feel a victim of the SISU regime!
My god i read some shit before, but this takes the biscuit.
What he's saying is, if you've lost your job, or you don't have a job, you must before you put food on the table and feed the family, or pay the gas and electric etc, you must pay for your season ticket, or if you go weekly the match ticket. Just forget about your family,business and everything else, just remember your not a true fan if you don't put Cov in front of the health and well being of your family.
Does this person live in the real world.
I hate this "your not a true fan like me" attitude, it makes my blood boil.
The oldies on here like me,and students and jobless do not have to justify ourselves if we can't go to every game.
My family comes first full stop, but if anyone accuse's me of not being a true fan, i want them to do it to my face.
Fecking fourty years i supported this rabble, and all i've got back is one day in 87, I'm not complaining but its true. Cov will always be my second love,as it should be, but i'll always support them, but they dont come near to the love of my family, but in some peoples eyes on here i'm not a true fan so i'll have to live with it.
It does make you think why we have such a small core of support, when people like this poster slags off anyone who don't go to every game.
