This looks even more ridiculous now.These pricing changes are still rumoured - we'll know for sure tomorrow. But if he's about to scrap the young adult tickets entirely when prices drop tomorrow we're looking at 16-year-old kids - still at school, still living with mum and dad - being asked to cough up nearly £40 for a Category A home game! Forty quid. For a teenager to watch championship football is laughable.
This pattern of misjudgements is becoming embarrassing now and King's had more U-turns on ticket pricing than a learner driver in a cul-de-sac. Every single time, he gets it wrong, fans go mental, and then he has to backtrack with his tail between his legs. It's like watching someone repeatedly walk into the same glass door, and seemingly the bloke just still doesn't get it. He clearly doesn't understand the community/family mindset of football in 2025 or what young fans and families can afford. Either that, or he simply doesn't care - and I'm not sure which is worse.
We know and accept football clubs need money. We're not stupid. But asking a 16-year-old to pay adult prices is mental amd will offend adults on behalf of kids! Granted some will be working Saturday jobs for relative pocket money, but that will in of itself stop them getting to games.
Often when the game is less than inspiring they are the ones helping to create the noise in the ground - and yes, before anyone jumps down my throat, I know it's not just them, but they're a part of what makes our home atmosphere so good.
These are the supporters who should be hooked for life by now. Instead, King wants to price them out before they've even got their first proper job.
He is not new to this now and by now should have realised running a football club isn't like running whatever business he ran before. You can't just look at a spreadsheet and think "right, let's squeeze a bit more out of this lot." Football fans aren't customers - they're the heartbeat of the club. Treat them like cash machines and eventually their credit will run out.
Hope Doug is having a think tonight before green lighting the ticketing team!!
*Disclaimer have have no kids anywhere near the ages effected by introduction of such a policy.
Yeah agree, wasn't expecting such a big increase but had it good for the last 2 seasons and still under £20 a game for me , daughters still £100 so cant moan too muchfair prices, and FZ were clearly undercharged for adults, so nobody can have any complaints at that

From last year's CT article -
'An Adult ticket in the Standard Zone at the CBS Arena remains fixed at £400 (early bird price), while concessions (over-65s and 18-21s) will pay £360, Under-18s will pay £225 and Under-14s £125. The Premium Zone prices are £480 for adults while in the Family Zone an adult will pay £250 with an Under-14 charged £50.'
