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.

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.

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.

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?

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Our ST prices are fine, a small increase would be accepted, although as I have to buy 4 it will sting regardless.

The issue we have is matchday prices, they are too high, especially the £25 for young kids, no other club comes close to that. We only have 7500 general admission tickets to sell every week, and we only did that 4 times all season - 3 of which came at the end of the season with the inevitable surge in demand. The average number of matchday tickets sold to home fans is only about 4500. I think an increase in ST prices is likely as matchday ticket sales can't be bringing in much over and above ST revenues. I think we need to look at this balance a bit.

Yeah, I was suprised when I looked the other week. My lad of 7 is £25. That’s high for a one off.

Any plans to bring the 6 game package back?
