I notice, despite not being sold out, no tickets can be purchased in blocks 14 and 15 this season; this on top of aisle seats being left empty if there was no ST renewal and a new block 16 fence. All seems a bit over the top.

Might have been better to put £1 on all cats; £33 the cheapest adult seat in the house to watch Burnley? A bit much that.

IMO no ticket should be anymore than £25, even last season was too expensive. £33 for a single ticket is ridiculous £100 day out for 90 mins for a family of 4.

You could literally just go to the 18 Cat A/B games and still be paying £115 more than what you would for a season ticket, based on adults.

Glad I got a ST really, those are really dear prices. Especially for OAP.

Someone made a point on twitter, what happens when we play Bristol City away? Will they charge us £33 in return? That's your pound postage and pound for Ticketmaster shite on top of that. So 35 quid? Cheers Dave.

With the cost of everything else going up in life and the actual cost of travel , parking, food and beverages etc for a match day
£33 is going to drive a few fans away unless we are playing out of our skins and at the top end of the table.

A ridiculous amount of money to ask people to pay for second tier football.

Really the only games worthy of Category A are Birmingham, WBA and Sunderland, if they increased the price but reduced the amount of ‘Cat A’ games it’d be better received

Boddy claims extra policing and stewarding is needed for Norwich and Watford - seriously

Does look expensive to be fair, unlikely to tempt many fair weathers. Still, I’m sure MR will see the increased revenue 👍🏻

£33 is scandalous in the current climate

They've made a cock up here, hasnt gone down well on socials either.

Also don't see why anything past Albion Sunderland and Blues should be Cat A but what do i know

Get a jsb membership for kids - gets them much cheaper tickets and often two vouchers for reduced entry for a family (ie we paid £25 for a family of four last season).
Ideal if you know you can't get to many home games but certainly intend to go to a few!

Not a great PR move. It'll cost them a lot more damage than they'll get back in revenue. I know loads of clubs charge more in the same league but our fans don't have to care about that. Just looks like such a dumb move.

If your not a season ticket holder like me and you work and have kids etc and only attend 10 home games a season, £33 is ok with me otherwise yes if I lived closer etc I’d get a season ticket.
An extra £3 on last year isn’t even the Cost of a pint. PUSB👍👕
Some people just like to moan, what if we went up and it’s £40 a ticket v Man City etc?

Unless we are flying there won't be many walk ups for Cat A games.

As someone said only Blues, Albion and Sunderland should be cat A

Poor move that. Shame... because the club have got a lot right last couple of years or so.

How the hell are Bristol and Norwich Cat A? Especially when most fans will have a big gap between pay-days.

Massive own goal from the club that.

I’d imagine the prices are in line with every other championship club. I don’t see an issue with pricing. It’s not great but it’s not a shock - we’re not In a position to be trend setters In tbat department

They still do the 6 or 12 match packages which would save you money

I take the point, but fans of our club, esp. people that buy a few match day tickets each season, aren't going to give a sh*t what other clubs are doing. All they'll see is a price rise for a bunch of games, most of which mean nothing to our fanbase.

Look at it another way. How much is the rise for those few games realistically going to bring in? Seems like such a small amount that for the frustration it's already generated, barely seems worth it. Anything that risks the momentum we built last year is a bad move.

Only saves on the Cat A games. If you want to use it for any other category it ends up costing more. I used to do match pass as live away from Cov, but not really worth doing now unless I know I can make at least 6 Cat A's over the season.
