He could drop the price by 13 quid, fill the ground and still benefit from the f and b / merch sales.

You are economically illiterate.

No supporter should back these kids prices , just because tickets sell dont make it right .

If we go to the premier league no fan will pay more than 30 quid away from home

I do agree. Though I suspect if we do then also compete on season ticket pricing there will be a lot of eyes watering.

It doesn’t really make any decent sense to categorise any league game above another. You’re essentially placing particular teams on higher pedestals.

It's capitalism mate, we lose money as a business so they are trying maximise the income of the business. This makes perfect business sense. There is the moral argument to say it does make any decent sense is just wrong.

Its not that at all. Its knowing which fans will come in numbers regardless. In L2 and L1 we were regularly Cat A. Thats nothing to do with putting the club on a pedestal, it has everything to do with a club with low gates, cashing in on a loyal fanbase that'll turn up.in numbers regardless. Its pointless over pricing a team who will only bring a maximum of 200 fans, you'll just price them out and lose in the long run.

In years gone by we've done the right thing and never had it returned. I remember one season we were the ONLY club in the league that signed up to twenties plenty. I remember one season, i wanna say a London ish club (qpr, reading maybe, that sort of size, location) we charged £25 for their fans and went there and it was something like £37 and im sure it was midweek! We've had our fair share of having our pants pulled down whilt doing the right thing by them. I say fuck them! Everyone had the chance to sign up to 20s plenty, nobody did! If I remember correctly, FGR was over £20 for L2 and there was no roof or seats ffs! And it was a right miserable day to boot!

Like I said, absolutely no decent sense.

It's economics and commercialism. Decency has no part to play undortunately.

When the capitalism thing comes in I just think of that whole ‘for the fans’ thing is all. Feels silly to me to say ‘you can’t afford to come see us play Birmingham, maybe the Swansea game is more your ball park.’

Personal insults are the lowest form of communication. I’ll take that from someone like you.

So why is it just us charging these obscene prices for adults and kids?

Our ground isn't even in the top 10 most sold stadiums in the division either.

Is it because people never took up the chance to pay the subscription or because they weren't allowed?

You’re spot on. People are talking on here like this is every game.

People who attend more than 12 games a season should have a season ticket anyway.

For those who can’t/don’t want to attend every game, go to one of the many non A+ games instead.

I’d like to remind everyone that we’re a quarter of the way through the season already and had only one A+ game

Trouble is we're headed into territory of rigging the system are we not, haven't hit the point yet,st's are ultimately likely to be hiked under this method while supply is limited?

Not while there's no protection's watchdogs available to police it, growth no matter how it comes is the mantra of the day.

It’s us as fans that do that.

The club is simply responding to our demand

That is a risk yes. But there always has to be a financial reward to buying a season ticket so they can’t increase them that much
