Which means the football clubs inflation is also far greater.

Why do you think the club should absorb higher costs but the spectators shouldn’t?

No !! Why Liverpool bothered with 2% season ticket increase of 2%. Its peanuts.

Not 2% of their total turnover.

Why do you think it's a bad thing football supporters organising a protest when they disagree with a policy being implemented at their club?

Because it’s moronic.

They don’t want the clubs income to increase, but want spending on the team to increase.

Mayor Quimbys Bear Tax springs to mind

The football club's basket of goods and services is quite different from a household's. It pays a fixed rent for the ground it plays in.

Where have they said they want spending to increase?
And how much would 2 percent on ticket prices a tally fund anyway?

I think it will be 10% plus increase or the equivalent of a bag of sniff

Why should fans be immune from a rise in prices? Clubs have kept things pretty flat. You say it's peanuts, but our fans seem to think an extra 5,000 season tickets and a few extra shirt sales can buy the world in the transfer market.

Players sign for fixed term contracts so to an extent wages are fixed. Legal fees lol, must represent about 2% of the club's expenditure.

A majority of a clubs employees is non playing staff.

Legal fees in any major organisation are always going to be significant

Basically no increase in 15 years is insane.

£431 in 2010 in 2024 money is £637.

For us, matchday revenue and ticket sales are a much bigger proportion of our turnover.

It's irrelevant, players represent 80% of the wage bill at least

Some contracts do have annual increases built in, say £10k Y1, £11k Y2, £12k Y3 etc.

There should be a HUGE increase in season ticket sales judging by all the new members on the f.a. Cup ticket thread

I’ve found Nottingham Forrest executive box price for 2010-11, which was £11,000 plus vat for 8 with a very similar offering. Making up to 12 and allowing for inflation that’s equivalent to £31,500 - far more than the £25,000 greedy Doug is charging.

There has been a huge increase in ST this season and average attendances will be the highest in over 50 years.The band wagon is rolling.
Last year match reciepts were over 7 million this year will be around 9 or even above.
That without catering that should be going through the roof with the amount of pints I see consumed now
We will gain some of these day tripper have no fear.All I hope is like i've said before big money is coming in now .Do'nt kill the goose.

Also they’re generally renewed every two years and replaced with someone more expensive right now.

Doug had his evening with the London Supporters Club on Thursday and apparently admitted there will be a price increase.

No figure but certainly sounded like they'll be close, if not inline with the Prem Packages.

£500 standard price would be way too much in my opinion.

Accept it’s not out of line with a lot of clubs but with the lack of 15.00 kick offs and us falling away in the promotion race I reckon we would lose a fair number of season ticket holders and gain no extra revenue.

Agreed. Numbers will drop off if he charges that.

Lad turns 18 this year and getting divorced so will probably have to use finance for the fist time, so hoping prices don't go up too much. How long if finance over 9/10 months?

I’d be gambling hard on a win at Wembley, but much later and we could be in full dead rubber. Ideal situation Norwich lose a couple and we win the next two and you could charge what you like cos everyone will be dreaming of PL and Europe.
