then they’d gave for in when £500 was there as they’d get it free if we went up
Yep, not because they support Cov but because they were caught up in the emotion of potentially seeing big teams coming to the CBS. These fans would of course get hooked and keep their season ticket in future. But the key to pushing them into the initial outlay was the prospect of the Prem.
They could've been on sale at the same time as the Prem package to be fair.Deal agreed with Frasers end of April.
Ticket office then dealing with high levels of sales for Birmingham and Middlesbrough home play off whilst selling, pretty rapidly 5,000 Prem deal tickets in a pretty short time (equivalent to not far off half of last years adult season ticket sales).
Then the little matter of Wembley. In addition, ticket office been closed for a number of days because of concerts (including today, announced at short notice).
So there are some valid contributory factors to delayed start of season ticket sales.
I would have though they would have wanted to prioritise and focus on the sale of the 5,000 tickets in the first instance, without providing a competing offer at the same time.They could've been on sale at the same time as the Prem package to be fair.
and if we'd got promoted the ST price would have gone up over £100 easily! why undersell themI would have though they would have wanted to prioritise and focus on the sale of the 5,000 tickets in the first instance, without providing a competing offer at the same time.

why would they... to get more revenue in the premier league? suggestion being that they made it clear they were Championship prices. suppose we'll never know for sure now we are still in Championship anywayWhy would they? No suggestion of that at all. This doesn't happen at any other club so not sure where this suggestion comes from.
Season tickets should have gone on sale a few weeks ago at the prices advertised. Then frozen sales at 16:45 on the Play Off final game
If promoted then prices rise by £100 or so (Prem football prices)
It would have given fans a chance to potentially buy a Prem season ticket for a Championship price when the interest and hysteria was high

Why on earth would the club want to sell Premier League season tickets at championship prices?
Because ticket revenue means fuck all in the Prem and we’re likely to go straight down so get people hooked now.
but that’s not the way the club is thinking, as King said himself, we have to grow revenue, not give away thousands in the hope they stay on

Have you been to Coventry recently….it hasn’t had a recent flood of millionaires rock up into town. The club can only take what the fans can afford to pay. That will go with single tickets too when they announce prices. We have a cost of living crises going on……but that’s not the way the club is thinking, as King said himself, we have to grow revenue, not give away thousands in the hope they stay on

Dougs made it very clear we need to make more revenue per ticket, not necessarily increase volume, why undersell tickets in the premier league
He said worseTim Fisher in the shower?
This time last year Fulham, Bournemouth and Forest were nailed on to be the whipping boys along with Brentford of course.Im not sure people would get hooked by potentially watching us be the premier league whipping boys, could even put some off ! I agree that ticket revenue should mean fuck all in the grand scheme of things in the prem but if that was the case why does every club charge fans more ? It’s also the little things like if we got relegated they could ‘cut’ prices.
Anyway none of us really know the reasons for the delay. All I know is it’s not been a standard end of season, not to mention the fact we’ve got a new owner looking more closely at revenue streams etc, so giving a bit of leeway

That’s the way I see it. Unless we are suddenly ‘the only show in town’ and the new fans come from amongst the above average income category. I have a feeling a lot of people outside that category spent it on their Wembley adventure. Which means that matchday tickets should be pitched with that in mind.Have you been to Coventry recently….it hasn’t had a recent flood of millionaires rock up into town.

Right now, sure cos it’s a major income stream. In the Prem the calculus changes. Hence the offer of a refund being viable.
There’s no way the prices would have changed if we went up. Would have been a PR nightmare.
Aston Villa increased prices by 15% and its an average of £800 and they will again sell out

where's it been confirmed, I haven't seen? if we were never going to increase prices in the premier league why is the premier league package only fixed until we get promoted?Piss off supporters for an extra £1m on the back of a £170 million windfall? It's already been confirmed that prices would not have risen had we been promoted. In any other season, had we not be waiting for a deal to stay at the CBS, season tickets would have been on sale months before promotion was confirmed anyway.
Any football club business plan that doesn't see increasing volume as being important is doomed to failure.

i also cant think of a single supporter that would be "pissed off" paying more for a premier league season ticket than a championship one
last season we had c13k season tickets, 3k of which were JSBs, once you take out students and OAPs we were probably looking at about 8k full paying adults, and the system was being abused, that is the immediate issue Doug is trying to resolve. its easier and quicker to resolve that issue before finding thousands of more "new" people to sign up, which wouldn't have been resolved by having tickets on sale slightly earlier
the season is more than 2 months away
Not sure if it’s been confirmed but I’ve heard that’s not what the plan was/the hold up is.
Obviously prices would rise if we stayed in the Prem, but half the point of a ST early bird discount is you’re buying not sure what you’re getting.

All this bollocks about when will we be able to buy them.
They will probably go on sale next week, then half the moaners will say “ I can’t buy it till I get paid at the end of the month “
