He's been ill advised on these price points and then to agree to them is madness too

I'm soo glad I took the decision to buy my 5 year old his 1st season ticket as £30 to take him vs Brum & Incester would be criminal

Fucking hell, those prices are disgraceful. It's the kids prices more than the adults tbh (although the adult prices are bad enough).

Was watching a thing about ticketing a few weeks back where the head of Live Nation spoke. This is literally the business model now for live events.

Selling out is not the aim. The model they have moved to is maximising revenue from those who will attend no matter what through insanely high prices. Then if there's a ton of unsold tickets they drop the price, run 2 for 1 offers, use seat filler sites etc. Nobody involved really gives a shit if there's a couple of thousand empty seats if they feel revenue has been maximised. What they don't want is regular sell outs, they take that as an indication prices are too low.

Fair to say he wasn't in his job for the love of the music.

The picture above isn't showing the whole story as the prices in it premium zone are greater still, £55 for a Cat A+ and £48 for a Cat A

How many tickets wil actually be available to buy in the premium zone? I'd imagine it's almost exclusively season ticket holders anyway?

The prices are a farce but they’ll sell if we’re playing well. We need to be backing it up in the transfer market at this point though.

Let's say they're charging £10 on average "too much". Say that's 5000 tickets so call it 50k per game. Over 23 matches that's in the region of £1m. It doesn't go very far. It's just to offset against the true running costs really. I'm sure they've run the numbers and have thought about wage bill vs squad size. They need to keep the losses under control...

For what maybe 3/4 games of the season?

Clearly the rationale behind the kids prices was the years of abuse the system took with adults buying cheap kids tickets and taking the piss.

So rip off real children as punishment for grown adults taking the piss? Seems fair.

I mean look at any other attraction and kids prices and your not leaving the house without spending that much.

3/4 games tops this season.

It’s simple supply and demand, 24k season tickets sold. Have to maximum revenue on non ST sales when the games are likely going to be a sell out regardless.

Even cat b at £27 is steep in my opinion.
As for the abuse of kids tickets angle, I doubt it's got anything yo do with that.
There are plenty of mechanisms in place now to stop it and I doubt King is trying to claw back money retrospectively that was lost in previous seasons and for the most part under previous owners.

You can go down to League 2/National league and kids tickets are £20. Without giving the tickets away for nothing I’m not entirely sure what people expect tbh.

The headline is £45 & £35 when in reality that’s for 3/4 games of the season. The rest is pretty much comparable to the last few years.

But as far as I'm concerned, citing L2 tickets at £20 doesn't justify our pricing, it just hilights how fucked football is.
Some of us on here, me included, are going to need replacing in the not too distant future, pricing out kids will bite us on the arse at some point, most probably next time we're not doing too well (which will happen, guaranteed).

Again, I have some understanding of Kings position, the state of Coventry City in the 2030s won't be any of his concern.

The ground is overrun with kids at the moment.

I have defended Doug King on some of the tough decisions that needed to be made but I think he and the board have got this wrong.

it’s short term thinking and can only be sustained if the club get promoted.

Cat.A+ games are excessive but rest of games probably comparable to other days out......
Harry Potter World this saturday 6:30pm. Adult £56.Child £45.
Madame Tussauds this saturday Adult £35. Child £32.
Warwick Castle Adult this Saturday adult £31. Child £31 ex.VAT.
Maybe cheaper family tickets available to be fair.

And you'd go to each of those once, possibly twice. Football isn't a one off attraction for most.

They should do some sort of discount for people that go to all the games. They could call it a season ticket.
