I just hope we never get promoted. Imagine the stunt the scumbags would pull then. The place would be made up of rich folk and their mates. Don't really give a fuck what happens for the rest of the season now. Might spend my £5 voucher to cheer me up.

Does paying £400 for a ticket in Block 15 ok direct debit make me or my mates rich folk??

Cheaper than most tickets at this level.

Basically this is a shit take because it isn't about a person deciding if they want to pay "x" amount or not, it is about mums and dads who now have to tell their kids they can go the football next year unless they move to the opposite side of the ground from where the kids want to be. Even if they do tis the likely hood is the kids enjoyment and experience is lowered because they are not where they like to be in the ground.

Rubbish, my eight year old grandson won’t give a toss if he mines seat so long as he goes, anyone who thought prices would be similar to those season were in cuckoo land, personally I think they ain’t as bad as I thought, I’m betting there will be payment schemes to help.

???? I’ve had my season ticket in block 19 for years especially with my eldest. Always been a jsb and price always been the same with the Jsb membership. Unsure what you mean by that sentence? For fans who’ve sat in the same seat for years with kids should have been some consideration.

Can't see why they don't just increase the price by 10% .So last season record season ticket sales now everyone is expected to fuck around trying to find different seats this has pissed me off.

I can renew in 15, but can't move anywhere else in 14/15.

Maybe they're all season tickets and will be held until the EB expires.

Oh I agree. I'd not move from Block 16.

HOWEVER

If I couldn't afford the ticket cost in Block 16 but could behind the goal, I most certainly would move instead of not buying a ticket.
Click to expand...

But I've just given an example of 2 that won't, because they rely on me to take them and their parents, who don't go, won't pay the extra. We'll sell fewer season tickets ultimately. Club know that but I guess they are fine with it.

But thats how it has always been up until the last couple of years?

They can still sit wherever but just pay a little bit more.

I wonder if abuse of kid's tickets has risen since it was changed to be anywhere rather than dedicated blocks?

In what way? It's an area of the ground aimed at families and younger children.

Older kids aren't going to want to shit there if they currently sit nearer the other corner

That's your grandson, not all kids are the same.
Doubt my son would have got the bug if it wasn't for the carry on in that corner and at away games and his mates are the same.
I'd imagine a lot of people on here will say the same about their kids/grand kids.

The longevity is not an issue - it’s not as price sensitive as you claim

the issue is if they feel their matchday experience is worse they are unlikely to want to continue

frankly what happened x years ago means fuck all now

I totally get it. There are some being shafted.

I guess my point is, and the club's too, if people cannot afford to sit in Block 16, the option is there to move (for most people).

If I'm wrong, I apologise. I'm sure there's the anomalies throughout but @Evo1883 is the example the club will look at. If the issue is price, then there is an option to move.

Get the frustration for over 60s with the prices going up. Also think it’s a bit steep for 14-18 year olds who want to sit in the noisy area (as we all would at that age).

But for most people prices look ok to me. Always pay more for the halfway line and £400 standard adults is a fair price.

Doug looks like he is far more creative than the previous regime. Hard to call but with the current progress on the pitch he may have called this about right?

I agree. That's an issue.

People need to start making noise elsewhere in the stadium regardless of all this.

Maybe he could have written:

“Exciting times, and we’ve some incredible family packages for you to check out so we can bring in the next generation of sky blue fans.

With inflation, prices for everything and wages have changed. I’m not hiding from it, it’s reality.

We’ve secured playing at the CBS and you can see that the new stadium owners are investing and improving which will give better supporter experience. As the sole utilisers of the pitch, we will be able to allow Mark to develop the team game in the attractive way he does. Exclusively and a better match day environment and inflation means prices have inevitably risen in some areas. But we do care, and there are some great family zone packages and do check out that incredible, inflation busting £500 deal.

PUSB

Doug”

Yeah. I know. Waffle from me, but I do think levelling with fans is always the best way.

Because there's hundreds of anti-social kids in block 14 who had JSB season tickets.

I hope they don't move because they make noise but that's what they are clamping down on.

Ultimately it’ll live or die by sales figures. If they fail to match last seasons revenue after the season we’ve just had (even if we don’t make playoffs), there’s a fairly obvious signal it was a bad move. Otherwise it’s not.

Up until a couple of years ago the free / jsb tickets had to be in the family zone I think? Pretty sure that was the only option when getting my daughters probably about 2013 onwards.

Standard Area

Adult £400 / 23 = £17 per game
Child £200 / 23 = £8 per game

Family Zone

Adult £250 / 23 = £10.90 per game
Child £50 / 23 = £2.20 per game

Is it really the end of the world to go into a different stand? It is also going to be to try and stop people taking the piss on kids tickets. If you want to go and watch with your kids then it's amazing value and saving money on previous years.
Click to expand...
The consideration for some, like me, is currently I sit with a few other friends, and have done since we moved to the arena, and they no longer take kids up, so if I want to carry on sitting with them it's £470 more for me and my lad than if I bought 2 tickets in the family stand. If I just went with my lad then it's an easier decision. In reality I'll probably just renew and pay the extra, but it's a bigger increase than I was expecting.
