Id guess they are looking to see the final season ticket count - if it’s 20,000 there’s only going to be 5,000 seats available which will probably mean the price is pushed up as demand will be strong

Good point that we’re all ignoring. Simple supply and demand

Or alternatively most regular and some irregular fans have plumped for season tickets this time around and demand for single match tickets will actually be reduced, especially if they overprice them

Don't know for sure but when they were first introduced were they on a par with match day prices and possibly other advantages were the benefit?

Season ticket holder for last 5 years I think (started at brum) think it’s a bit harsh I’ve had 200 points taken off me , when people who haven’t been a St holder for that long then get more points than me.

Everyone has had points from Brum season taken off. If you have had ST since then you’ll still be on 920 minimum assuming you’ve purchased ST for 2023/24. Only way people will have more than you is if you’ve not done away days.

The loyalty system is mostly fair, except those that use their points to get away tickets and sell them to others so they get the extra points.

Which describes the supporters club system of buying away tickets to a tee

It’s a small amount of tickets available - you certainly don’t need to be offering them at £20 as they did last season especially if the team perform well - frankly if the likes of Leeds and Leicester are charging £45 we can’t seriously be charging half that and trying to pretend we have a great fanbase

£33 to £35 is reasonable with flexibility for an occasional discounted price for a couple of midweek games

Correct.

I have a couple of mates that support Liverpool and United if they are caught selling their away tickets they can be banned from buying tickets for away games. If they can no longer attend they are meant to return the tickets to the club so they can resell. Think the club should look into this as there will definitely be people that abuse the system.

Still wouldn't solve the supporters club issue. They clearly have an agreed system where they just provide a list of qualifying supporter numbers. The money they give to the club saves any level of investigation in to misuse

Not sure 20k is doable now with the price hike or the inability to extend the family zone .. missed opportunity but still great numbers

Think it’ll end up at 19k.

We might cross 20k in winter with half season tickets

18500 tickets sold! Brilliant! Just one big elephant in the room then “when the F&£k are we going to receive them? Or shall I get my printer warmed up to print off individual tickets like we have done for so many seasons. Exactly what is difficult about producing season ticket cards that seem to effect city?..

You are correct. A work colleague of mine has been a Man Utd ST holder for 18 years but never goes to home games as he can sell his ticket to a tourist for anything from £500 to £1K depending on who they play. He does this so that he can follow them away and in Europe. For away games 30% of the tickets randomly have to be collected from the away stadium with proof of ID.

I don't understand it when ST holders paying £17-£20 per game are egging the club on to raise prices for those who cannot commit to a ST (for many valid reasons) to £33-£35. Talk about I'm alright Jack.

To go from the current £20/£25/£33 model to a flat £35 would represent an enormous increase, and make it of the most expensive grounds in the league. An indifferent season and we're barely selling any matchday tickets at those prices.

Agree we need huge gates and the feel good factor across the CV postcodes and beyond. Match tickets to be reasonable prices for midweeks and same as this season for the CAT A games of which there will be a fair few.

I can see a lot of Boro fans peppering their twitter admin for details of tickets for our game, but are being told they have yet to receive any details from us. I don't suspect there is an issue here other than we're in no rush, but it is a tad late.

Which season ticket holders are calling for that?
I am in block 20 and thought it worked out at around £22 a game for shelling out £460 in May/June
Now first dibs at away tickets has gone,what incentives have I got if I can pick and choose my games for little or no more.

Stand corrected it does work out at £20 a game.
To ask casual supporters to pay £7/£8 a game more is not excessive.
The aim should be to sell out the ground with season tickets and have a waiting list.
Club know before each season what ticket income they will get.

Exactly, £7-£8 a game more is perfectly reasonable. I was responding to a post and other comments suggesting £35 for every game would be justified and I was saying that was excessive and penalised those who cannot commit to a ST (exiled fans for example) more than was reasonable.
