The 6 match ones, are they much cheaper?
I guess it means no fees every game too.
We had 6 match packages last year which were available during the early bird period. They cost us £78 for the adult and £60 for the senior, £138 in total. We always chose our seats in blocks 19 or 21.Is that around 70% up on last year?

This season they weren't available during early bird, or even at the start of the season. To have the same blocks this season would now cost £144 and £96, a total of £240. That's a 74% increase on like-for-like. I have no idea whether there is a booking fee on top when you choose your match tickets. Sadly, I don't think we'll bother.
The thing is doing 20's plenty and match packages averaging around £12-£13 last season will affect people's attitude this season.
Yet as stated last season how can a 3rd div club operate on margins scarcely better than Nuneaton Town?
They were, in my opinion, about right last season. The increases will only be justified if the results/performances are up to scratch and the people keep coming. I'm not convinced that's going to happen as I doubt the increases will lead to investment in the team. I suppose that if things improve, we could still get a package later in the season as the price is presumably not going to change.They were clearly too cheap last year and the discount per game was in line with a full season ticket. I'm not sure thats right. How much would you end up paying if you went for matches and paid for single tickets?
That's the thing, they were cheap but made losses on it.
We can't moan about investment but then can't moan about ticket prices in line with the rest of the league.
Isn't that the whole point?It's a discount on the standard matchday price
That campaign is for away tickets.20's plenty

That campaign is for away tickets.
But if less people buy more expensive tickets, or more people buy less expensive tickets, which is better? Surely it's the latter for atmosphere, pie revenue and general continuation of support?
I think that's where the club have gone wrong this year. If we are top in November and had a similar game to Burton at home from last year (yes I know they're not in our league anymore) we wouldn't get 17,000 fans at the current prices. Too many people would be put off IMO.
Maybe we were spoiled last year (in comparison to other teams, not in reality) but the proof was there, if we started playing well and the prices were fair, people would come back.
Last year we had them cheap but not enough went didn't they?
If we get a sniff of success, people will go anyway.
If you mean season tickets, it was on the back of a dire season in fairness, we only just survived relegation.
In terms of match to match, the growth was visible every week as we continued our good form. The net in the corner was being moved further and further round the telegraph stand until we hit our peak against Burton with about 17,000 (roughly). This then dipped and went back down when we started to fuck up didn't it?
Yes but the thing is we lose a single game and everybody does one again.
We win 6-0 and get less than 100 extra.
It is too fickle to try the whole put the prices dirt cheap thing isn't it?
But if less people buy more expensive tickets, or more people buy less expensive tickets, which is better?
They did, last yearTheres only one way to find out !!!
They did, last yearthe uptake didn't cover the loss did it?
Well f*** me.Why is it crap?
Probably mean soon after the new stadium is built though!The club have said on FB that match packages will be made available very soon. Hold tight!
Who wants a 20 match package ? You may as well have bought a season ticket ?
