There were one or two comments at the SCG last week regarding the booking fee and it appears the club have responded to that by paying it if booked early. More than happy with the money back scheme.

Surely this pricing is normal, whereas last season was a discount?

They were discounted when we first came back and then kept at the same level this season. Or something along those lines.

The last season in L1 before we left had this pricing:

£345 and a free ticket for the lad (with a £25 membership), still good value at £15 per game, especially when you compare to Sphinx or Cov United at £6/£5 a game.

I need some people to move or not renew though to make sure I can fit the lads ticket next to me, that's the only problem.

Never mind all that, the CT have got in early in their usual way "20% increase"

Adult
Standard zone £299
Standard plus £322 blocks 18 and 22
Premium zone £345 blocks19 to 21

Taken from the clubs new ticketmaster website
Should be £150 across the board , take a leaf out of what Norwich did a few years back and what Bradford did this season. Any increase for what has ultimately been another let down is a piss take , £300 for 3rd division football is beyond reasonable thinking.

Isn't it the same as most clubs? Haven't checked them all but isn't it about the same?

They did a discount across the board last season didn't they? They just haven't done the discount this year.

We have Chris Anderson to thank.

Why make is so complicated? I know it isn't that complicated but look at the confusion on this thread.

Just get some fees in place at market good value and then offer an early bird discount.

Now you have admin fees and booking fees and DD fees. I think this will put people off.

I'm more pissed off about the rigmarole involved in registering with ticketmaster than the price rise!

Here's a thought. Maybe prices have been increased as we didn't get any more ST sales last year than when we were last at the Ricoh, ergo it is not sensible business to continue with lowered prices.

For a season ticket, you just go online and pay.

You only have DD if you want direct debit, it's normal.

Cant be 100% sure but I don't think that the prices are much different to the pre Sixfields' prices. They were reduced massively whilst in Northampton and kept low last year to encourage people back and are now somewhere near where they were. People that are moaning should look at what they were paying a few years back for a bit of perspective.

Don't see what the fuss is - the price is reasonable, free kids and a DD scheme.

Good thing we're not a fan-owned club or we'd be fucked.

Just had a look at a few random season ticket prices.

Chesterfield (16/17) - cheapest (now) is £400 rising to £530 depending on zone. Their early bird was before end April

GIllingham (16/17) cheapest (early bird) is £370, rising to £470 after early bird
http://www.gillinghamfootballclub.com/documents/season-tickets-2016166-3059445.pdf

Portvale cheapest, £345 rising to £380. They also have an incentive.

Can't see why people are moaning really even with the rise in prices.

4 years ago we were a championship club, they reduced after relegation and have increased again for 2016/2017.

They really don't have a right to increase considering they'll sell the next talent to make their shareholders happy for another year.

SISU are and always will be... scum.

It is not about the right. Football clubs like any other business are not immune from inflation.

Just to put the prices in to some perspective

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/34517143

Where can you watch League One football for £15? How many third-tier clubs are more expensive than Stoke City in the Premier League?

The BBC's Price of Football study has the answers.

We contacted 227 clubs in 13 leagues across the UK to discover how much it costs supporters to follow their football team.

So have League One ticket prices gone up?

Not on a match day, no. The average price of the cheapest on-the-day ticket has dropped to £20.27 - down 0.8% from 2014.

However, the league has seen a 30% price increase in this category over five years. In 2011, the average cost of the cheapest match-day ticket was £15.52.

At £24.46, the average price of the most expensive match-day ticket in League One has dropped by 0.17% from last year.

The average cost of the cheapest season ticket is up by 0.29% to £285.81, while the average price of the most expensive season ticket is now £400.83 - a drop of 0.3%.

Overall, 61% of all League One ticket prices we collected have been frozen or reduced from last year - the same percentage as the Championship.

More on the Price of Football:

How cheap is my club?

It's good news if you go and watch Coventry or Bradford.

The Sky Blues have lowered the cost of their tickets from last year across all four categories analysed in the Price of Football - the only club in the division to do so.

Meanwhile, a season ticket at Bradford can be bought for £149 - the cheapest available to all adults in the top four divisions in England.

The dearest season ticket can be found at Chesterfield for £530, although this is down £20 from last year.

The Spireites are one of 11 League One clubs charging more for their cheapest season ticket than Stoke City (£294).

An adult can go and watch Gillingham and Wigan for £15 on the day - the cheapest ticket in the third tier - while Colchester have the most expensive single ticket at £31.

How much to pay to go away?

For the first time, the Price of Football study has asked clubs to provide the cheapest and most expensive away tickets they offer.

The average price of the cheapest away ticket League One came out at £20.65, while the average most expensive is £23.44.

Wigan and Gillingham offer £15 away tickets during the season. The most expensive is at Colchester for £31.

League One deals to shout about

Peterborough give two season tickets to local schools, which are handed out to pupils as a reward for good behaviour or attendance.
Bradford reduced prices to £149 and sold 18,000 season tickets/flexicards for the 2015-16 campaign.
Walsall offer under-18s a season for free by charging £46 and then refunding them £2 for every home game they attend.

Eyes on the pies, programmes, teas and shirts

Gillingham may offer the cheapest tickets in the division, but top the pie price list at £3.80.

The cheapest pie in the league can be found at Blackpool, Burton and Port Vale - all priced at £2.50.

The cheapest cup of tea can be bought for £1 at Colchester, while Fleetwood also only charge £1 for a programme - a third cheaper than the rest of the league.

Bury and Sheffield United have the most expensive adult replica shirt for £45, while the cheapest price is £39.99 - a deal offered by seven different clubs.

What do the Football League say?

The Football League conducted its own ticket price study this year, which included adult and concessionary rates, and it found the average admission price paid was £14.08.

The League also revealed a combined gate revenue of more than £213m and more than 15.1 million tickets were sold.

In response to the BBC's Price of Football findings, Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "Football League clubs continue to offer compelling football at a price that is affordable, particularly for those buying season tickets who are rewarded for their loyalty and financial commitment with the best value ticket offerings.

"The significant numbers of season ticket holders at matches, along with ever greater numbers of young fans, has resulted in the average price paid per paying spectator being as low as £14 across the 72 clubs.

"Clearly others, such as adults and those paying on the day, will usually pay more. Clubs therefore need to ensure that their ticketing policies provide the right balance between fair value for supporters and generating the income that sustains on-field performance, which overwhelmingly they do."


if you use the calculator in the article to compare CCFC you get this for 2015/16

Match-day ticket

£18 Cheapest

£20 Most expensive

The cheapest Coventry City match-day ticket is 11% below the league average.

The most expensive Coventry City match-day ticket is the lowest in the league.

Season ticket

£249 Cheapest

£299 Most expensive

The cheapest Coventry City season ticket is 13% below the league average.

The most expensive Coventry City season ticket is 25% below the league average.

most popular ticket

£11-20

Most fans who buy a ticket on matchday in League One pay £21-30




so 20% increase on the season ticket that is 13 to 25% lower than average is not going to make us that expensive in League 1 ........only average
