season ticket sales (28 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

Ah, the offshore Jim Ratcliffe approach.

It’s basic supply and demand really. Looking at what we charged twenty years ago for abject shite in an half full ground and the rate of inflation since I find it hard to moan too much about footy prices going up when we’re successful and selling out.

Spoken like a true capatilist @shmmeee

"Squeeze them until the pips squeak"

Lovely.

I'm struggling with your maths here @Marty.

I paid four hundred pounds quid last season.

How is 500 nicker a £20 increase?

My mistake, I looked at the non early bird prices. I still think it should be a small increase.

 

[CV22SBA]

As an aside, does anyone know how many premier package STs we sold?

I'd heard 10k but that seems like bollocks.

It was capped at 5K max but not sure how many of that 5K were sold.

 

[Robinshio]

i imagine most in the central blocks would have bought them as it was only £20 per season extra with a fixed season ticket cost and a free one if we did go up - so a no brainer - not sure how many blocks that covers

The thing is, if we are selling so many general admission tickets at £37, it would be nice for him to freeze again. Our season ticket prices are about average currently aren't they?

I wonder if he'll put Cat A up to £40. That would be very high for people.

One of the cheapest, if not the cheapest in the division. £600-£700 STs in this division are not uncommon

But those are often in premium areas.

The issue for us is seats are priced almost identically around the ground. Other clubs have cheaper areas.

We offer a cheap ST in an area where 2/3k fans can sit with kids but its a restricted amount .

Outside that area our tickets are not one of the cheapest

i could be wrong then. Any examples (which I guess would be easy to find as there are so many) of clubs cheaper across the board?

 

[ccfcchris]

I will be (trying) to get season tickets next season after a year off. It's a huge commitment for me and my kids considering we live 3 hours away, but I've missed it.

Legend.

The average tab for full paying adults

 

[Alex1987]

these must be the worst:

Got to remember that £550 is PL package. I doubt our average was £475 last season

Averages will be worked out the same way across all clubs including offers etc

Given its quite a deprived area Boros are pretty steep

There was outrage when they released , their attendances i believe are down on previous season

Yes, but given most adults tickets were £400, a small number were £250, then a small number with incentives were £500 and £550, the Average clearly won't have been £475. I'd be surprised if the average adult was more than £440 (and that includes the PL weighted promo)

Like I said i agree, but worked out the same at every club

I doubt anyone has gone into any detailed calculation, it's a tinpot, highest+lowest over 2 calculation

 

[bigfatronssba]

I reckon a slight increase.

Unless you can’t now go for personal reasons I don’t see why all existing season tickets won’t be renewed

£450-£500 is reasonably fair considering inflation and the price freeze last season. Maybe offset that with a slight increase to the Premier League Package to £575 for new entrants to push that product to boost the coffers in the offseason.

 

[rob9872]

All they've done with the average is add cheapest and most expensive then divided by 2 as if its 2 prices and 50% each. They're completely pointless and skewed.

Our are decent value, but a big increase could change that. I'd hope they know their market.

 

[clint van damme]

I thought numbers would decrease last season based purely on a few people I know who were jacking due to missing so many games due to fixture changes and the fear the new TV would make things worse.

As it turned out this season has been nowhere near as bad as the previous one so hopefulky we see an increase.

 

[shmmeee]

They’ve just taken the midpoint of highest and lowest. But they admit our highest isn’t comparable, I’ve no idea if our lowest is considering FZ and young adult tickets either.

 

[David O'Day]

Averages will be worked out the same way across all clubs including offers etc

to be fair the average is a nonsense figure

Looks like all they have done is added the cheapest price to the most expensive and divided by 2

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

I’d like it if they introduced an interest-free monthly payment option - Hull City do one (close to me) and it’s popular with folks who can’t afford to shell out everything upfront/ don’t have access to an interest-free credit card.

It can be a pain being a long distant fan. But it's like crack cocaine, very hard to break the habit.

[Saddlebrains]

Think its perfectly reasonable for him to put adults up say £25, and kids £10. Only a small affordable increase, but revenue wise that would improve things

Stick the average price of a mill / balcony bar all that shit ST up by say £30 aswell

An average of £20 increase per ST, 22.5k ST holders is an extra £450,000 for basically the same thing

As irritating as early KO’s can be (specifically away games), from my POV they’ve come less and less of an issue as we’ve been marching up the table.

A cynical take would be that the people claiming they’d give up the ST were more bothered about results than the irregular KO times.

The people I know people were missing loads of games due to working shifts. And this was last season when things were going well.
