Where the fuck is premium zone padded seating?

I suspect its simple supply and demand. If we've sold a fuckton of season tickets and have a minimal number of tickets left for matchday sales, and sold out games last season, then you ramp the price up. They have only announced categories for the first few games so if the top categories don't sell they won't use them again.

Its a tough one as instinct is to go 'that's way too much' but a few years back football tickets would be pretty much in line with concert tickets. And now if you see a gig at Brum Academy and it's 'only' £60 people refer to it as cheap. So I guess the argument is should the price of football tickets move with the market or be artificially supressed and I can see arguments on both sides.

Block B and E - the few rows in front of the hospitality areas that used to be covered in banners. Good view but no hospitality- just the poor service in the west stands tiny bar. Oh and you get soaked there when it rains.

Hull and QPR at Cat B is just naughty. Clearly some special start of season pricing there because they certainly are not in the second tier of clubs that would be an attractive fixture

I think they're the same category as last season. There were only one or two Cat C games which were basically midweek matches against Cat B teams.

Absurd prices.

We will get punished by other clubs charging our away fans the same.

We kicked off at Leeds and now have done the same.

No clubs have to charge home and away fans the same. So if another club charges us £45 thay will also have to be consistent with what they charge their own fans. We will only get charged by clubs what they are prepared to charge their fans too.

I don't get the comparison with concert tickets. That's something you do occasionally, football is weekly for most. Yes some folk watch more bands, but not top expensive bands every week. There is no justification.

Fill the ground, the atmosphere is so much better when the away end sells out too. They'll spend the missing revenue on pints, pies and programmes.

That's not quite true. It only has to be a small section of similar seating. I'm sure there are ways to use some of the segregation not for sale and say they are £45 seats if they want to be arsey about it and who could blame them.

Another example of Doug Queen being a deluded, middle class c**t - completely detached from the average family. You can tell he’s come from a B2B background selling rapeseed, with no knowledge of direct consumer selling. He clearly thinks every family should pay what his trust funded family pay without batting an eyelid.

Considering we are still in the Championship and haven’t got closer to promotion than 2023, he’s ramped up prices considerably over 2 years.

If he expects more from the fans, he should expect to deliver more on the pitch.

Yet his pricing so far has been spot on as we'be sold more.

I'd say you're both right to some degree. We've had relative success and whilst things are looking promising, you can get away with it. If anything starts to fail on the pitch, that will be the acid test.

We will get charged Cat A prices everywhere. They may not be £45 but they will be approaching £40.

I'm optimistically hoping this has been put out this morning and will get buried by the announcement of a new signing later today...

Masterstroke by Doug.

Create a new A+ category and pump up prices purely to rinse clubs with big away followings.

Just letting it settle... Take the outrageous prices for the Birmingham and likely Leicester games. Surely that will be it for the £45 tickets. Most other games will be Cat A or B.

People defending this, because they simply cannot bring themselves to criticise the club in any way, need to give their head a wobble. £35 for kids? It's outrageous.

No one is defending it are they? This is the most backlash I've seen against Doug by a long way.

So no concessions in the premium seats either? I suspect in the next 5 years that will be across the whole ground...
