However way you dress it up, it's way over priced for Kids, other than the family zone being a fantastic deal.
Incentive could be eg if ticket used 15+ games then price held for following season otherwise doubles.Family Zone rules need tightening for me. Need to get as few “I’ll get one just in case and for the cheap adult ticket” and as many “kids go every week” as we can. Not sure how you can do that. I’d be tempted to reduce the kids price further and remove the discount for the adult.

But you can upgrade them at the ticket office and pay the difference. Hopefully really easy to spot outside if colour coded as suggested this year.You’re back to policing people like me that used their kids tickets to occasionally take a mate or the missus along.
And tbf you're the one saying kids prices are fine and the club should maximise revenue but occasionally misusing the card. Can't really have it both ways.
I've just signed one up this year, which should reduce some ticket costs.I got my 2 oldest lads from being ManU fans into City fans 3 years ago....haven't got the 11yr old nor the 5yr old season tickets nor JSB membership as at £50 and how often I would take them (5 or 6 matches) its just doesn't make sense.
People have said that adults have taken advantage of the kids prices in the past....very true....but it's down to the club to police and charging very high prices to be seen as a "fix" is very short sighted. If we don't get into the play off in the next 2 years then it really can be seen as short sighted as I'd expect season ticket numbers to drop and the next wave of youngsters won't be there.
If we're successful then don't see a huge issue....apart from being lesser of a family club as we've proudly called especially during the last 5 years
Think you'd have to do 6 games to make a saving and with an average of over £20 for a 5 year old I just can't justify the cost unfortunately.I've just signed one up this year, which should reduce some ticket costs.
Thanks ccfc1234 for help.
Cheers skybluecol, hopefully you can take them up for a game or two at that age.Think you'd have to do 6 games to make a saving and with an average of over £20 for a 5 year old I just can't justify the cost unfortunately.
I don't mind an increase but the club has made it clear that they're not targeting kids with the current pricing.
I've gone from taking my 5 year old when I can to thinking it'll be nearer to 10 when I do start taking him.
Recently, out club has been great but this is one gigantic own goal imo
Hope your lad/daughter enjoys the season

If you look at the family stand pics from the game there are so many empty seats. Whats to stop 2 adults getting 2 adult and 2 kids for £600 and the kids never going, the adults have got their season tickets for £300 each. Adults should have to attend with the kids or pay the difference for that match.
If the club can see the kids tickets have not been activated they should bill the season ticket holder for the difference for that game, if the tickets were sold on that basis then the season ticket holder would have to comply.
This is a good shout. Worth feeding back.The only way to do it is to make it not such a ridiculous deal for the adults. Keep kids STs cheap or even free with an adult ticket in the Family Zone.
Someone (perhaps Walsall?), Do a cashback for juniors, where activation/ ticket use results in some of the initial outlay being returned.If you look at the family stand pics from the game there are so many empty seats.

Moan about us? I'm with them 100% on this....its the only thing that really annoys me about our club. They'll be many other clubs that will rip into us about the price for kids tickets and rightly so.Let's be honest it is just another excuse for that lot to moan about us.
I bet they still rock up with the chip on their shoulders, that now seems part of their DNA.

Sorry I missed your point @HoboYou have a case, but my point is they are moaning like we are doing it to them, like we have targeted them and them only.
But if they were Man Utd. fans they would never see a game.I got my 2 oldest lads from being ManU fans into City fans 3 years ago....haven't got the 11yr old nor the 5yr old season tickets nor JSB membership as at £50 and how often I would take them (5 or 6 matches) its just doesn't make sense.

Impossible to police. You would just scan the card regardless and then scan your own straight after...Incentive could be eg if ticket used 15+ games then price held for following season otherwise doubles.

Unfortunately they did....it's not actually that difficult to get tickets for Utd in all honesty.....family there and presents for Xmas and Birthdays did support this.But if they were Man Utd. fans they would never see a game.
I'm thinking along these line too.Someone (perhaps Walsall?), Do a cashback for juniors, where activation/ ticket use results in some of the initial outlay being returned.
