It's much cheaper now to take kids to the games, just have to sit in the kids bit. If not, it's about £8 a game for them.
The thing people aren't seeing are that a 14 year old JSB and his dad can go for £300. Last season that would have been £440.
If the price rises lead to a negligible increase in revenue, but a noticeable decline in atmosphere, are they a success? For me it’s a no.
The absolute vast majority will be paying slightly more though and there's possible thousands paying LESS.
Didn't Doug say we have 3000 JSB season tickets?
If you guess that we had 8000 adult season tickets, all but 3 blocks are paying £345 (early bird) or £399 (standard).
With the £399 standard price next season, I'd imagine possibly 3000-4000 fans are paying just £1 more and another 4000 are paying £55 more.

But said 14 year old and his dad has to sit in the face painters and whizzidy woo stand

They weren't free, that's the point I am making. I don't think they were £200 though, more like £30 for under 13 or something if they were a JSB. (may have changed when the zones have come in and out)
For a combined saving of £1500 it's a risk I'm willing to take.Looking like paedos?

But they will have to sit in the worst part of the ground?
you aint got no matesSome will.
Many will stay the same.
Me and a group of 6 mates who go are paying about the same. 4 of them paid £399 in August last year.
2 of us paid £345.
no but they have to sit there amongst families when they don't really want to. Kids are less likely to keep coming downThey don't have to do the JSB activities.
Guessing that's how they will cut down on adults using the free kid's tickets. If there's a group of blokes sat in a block with no kids it's much easier to spot.
you aint got no mates
They will police it better it’s hardly been policed at all for ages. Fans have got to get things into their heads, this is a new and proper way of running our football club and yes prices will rise but that was inevitable as for moving seats I don’t think kids will give a toss so long as they can see their hero’s.you still get it do you? There’s probably 1000+ fans who are impacted massively by this. If the club want to stamp out people using kids tickets then they should police the turnstile better (I.e actually use the turnstile lights) instead they are forcing 1000 fans if not more into a family corner away from where they’ve enjoyed football all season. That’s the issue here

This was 7 seasons ago and as far back as online account goes. As I have been saying, kids could go in block 16 and get a free st with £25 membership fee. Was not the case you had to go on jsb zone.
Junior Sky Blues (JSBs) under the age of 12 are still eligible for a free Season Ticket in the family zone, while JSBs between 12 and 16 have seen their Season Tickets in the family zone reduced to £23, which is just £1 per game.*
For juniors who don’t wish to join the JSBs, the cost of a Season Ticket in the family zone, which will now be situated in blocks 23 and 24 in the East Stand, will still only be £60.
There is no premium zone next season but prices for youngsters in the standard zone have also been cut.
For JSB under-12s, a Season Ticket in that area is just £23 (£1 per game), for JSBs over-12 it’s £46 (£2 per game) and for juniors who don’t become JSBs the cost is £80.
If that’s the case why bump up the kids season ticket so much in other parts of the ground?They will police it better.
People moaning about paying for their kids. Kids that are sat there playing on a £600 games console that's plugged into a £800 tv - wearing a fucking stupid tracksuit and trainer combo set that cost £350.......
It’s a very ill advised video and will look incredibly stupid if it all goes tits up in a few years.I only wish that Joy was sufficiently drunk on power and fan adulation in the first few months of the SISU era to make a Twitter video like King’s one tonight, the meme potential down the line is out of this world.
Got told to sit down by the compareExactly, Total embarrassment. They think they are something special. They are know different then any other Cov fans.

I agree, it's cringeworthy.
Players or Robins, yes. King, no.
Then why make people move ? If they are just going to expand the area it would make no financial difference to let them buy in their regular seatsThe area will be big as the demand requires though?
It was literally like it a few years back where JSB tickets had to be in certain blocks.
It was even cheaper in the season you mention, it was only £23 in the standard zone.I think the one before that it was. Fleck / Joe Cole / Armstrong season. Makes sense as she won Fleck's boots at her first xmas party.
I did try to warn people about that fucking song!
They will all be in one area, easier to police.Then why make people move ? If they are just going to expand the area it would make no financial difference to let them buy in their regular seats

It is hard to police in that extra stewards would negate the money saved on fraudulent kids tickets.that’s what stewards or turnstile staff should be checking using the light system as people walk in. It’s not hard to police, instead they’ve gone down a route of impacting fans with kids for no reason
