You’re a bellend.So home fans are charged less? It just seems to me a flat fee in 3 categories according to your link - this is oddly a thread about match day prices for home fans.
Also on season tickets we seem pretty competitive - certainly a lot better than some
Championship season tickets ranked from cheapest to most expensive
Fans will be desperate to get back into stadiums but it's fair to say that some Championship clubs will be charging more than others...www.football365.com
You’re a bellend.
Apart from a few local promotions per season you have to charge away fans same as home fans. So that’s the reasoning behind our categories, it’s true pal you know it I know it we all know it.
Will a Barnsley fan pay more or less to watch Barnsley vs Coventry than a Coventry fan when Barnsley travel to Coventry?
I have asked about 10 times now.

I think the objections to the £30 price have mostly been focused on the opening game. A few pointing out that it could be an opportunity missed after the time away, and that it seems to ignore the game being on Sky with a slightly crap KO time etc. Almost all objections to these points seem to be from ST holders which skews the point.
With JSB prices, £30 for Cat A games isn't bad relative to what you pay elsewhere or in lower leagues. Some valid points being made, though that Cat A doesn't necessarily seem to be all about the quality of opposition and more about rinsing large away followings. Putting your own fans first would make more sense, and trying to fill the ground from the start.
Makes little difference to the number I think has always been the mantraHigher prices doesn't necessarily mean higher budget. Will likely decrease gates for those games from what they would be if £5/£10 cheaper.

But the counter argument is:
First game of the season
First game back in Coventry
First game we've been able to watch since promotion
First game we've been able to attend in over 12 months.
All these should make it a popular fixture and so a high attendance even with it being on TV. So with it likely to be a high demand game the price will reflect that. Had they made it cheaper and maybe added a few more fans they could have lost more revenue than they gained from those willing to pay the extra. We are of course talking about those fans who will only go occasionally as the hardcore support will likely have season tickets or match packages.
I can see the thinking behind the decision and although from a fans point of view and the wanting there to be a 'gesture' to the fans, the fact is the club needs to make as much revenue as possible and this is a fixture they're likely to be able to get it from.
I'd have loved them to have priced it low to guarantee a sell out but the more I think about it, it should sell regardless.
If you're a Cov fan who can afford to go, aren't restricted due to Covid and isn't at work, how on Earth can you miss the first match in 18 months? First match at the Ricoh since April 2019.
What's funny is fans will moan about the price but go and sit in a pub in town all and pay £4 for a pint.
We’re yet to sell 10,000 season tickets, tickets will be £30 for the Forest game, I think there will be about 18,000 there.
Bolton just released their ticket prices and it's £29 to sit in their main stand for Cat A games in L1... £30 for Cat A matches in the Championship, thank you very much.
Forest will sell 5000. First away day for them. So the crowd will be at least 20,000.
I just don't understand how people could sit at home and watch this (unless valid reasons obvs).
If they do then the £30 price is vindicated.I don’t think Forest will sell 5,000
TruthIf they do then the £30 price is vindicated.
Every year, our fans have moaned about ticket prices and every year our season ticket prices are some of the best value in our league.
There’s also inflation to consider too - it has a small impact.
Morning saddlebrains,My issue is the price for concessions/kids.
I was planning on taking the kids up first game. £30 for me fair enough its championship football, but to charge those under 18/ concessions up to £25 is a joke.
For me to go first game thats £70. Add in your booking fees thats £75. Pushing £100 for me and a 6 and 11 year old for 1 game is taking the piss a bit.
The adult prices fair enough, but to be charging that for children i dont agree with.
Thats the next generation of fans
Morning saddlebrains,
Like you, I've got two youngsters and can't get to lots of games, so a season ticket isn't worthwhile.
The junior sky blues is the method I've used for last few years (and just signed my two up again last night), because the £25 membership will be quickly covered assuming I take them to at least two games (and not counting the free gift, discounts and cards for kids), which is good value.
I'm already looking forward to the first game we can get to - reading in late August.
PUSB
Great news.Yea I'm gonna go down that route i reckon mate

Whilst agreeing with your view regarding the pricing I have to raise the point that our fellow SBT members are currently foaming at the mouth on other threads regarding our squad Requirements.Forest fans aren't happy about the ticket prices. Some of them foaming at the mouth over it on twitter. We're charging them £20 for young kids, that is a piss take to be fair.
Not sure how reliable this source is.....Forest fans aren't happy about the ticket prices. Some of them foaming at the mouth over it on twitter. We're charging them £20 for young kids, that is a piss take to be fair.

Every Championship Club's Away Ticket Prices - Fan Banter
We have taken a look and listed each Championship club’s away ticket prices, and it’s found that seven clubs are charging away fans more than any Premier League side (capped at £30). Check out all those numbers (depending on match category*) from cheapest to most expensive below… 24) WEST BROM...fanbanter.co.uk
Suggests forest charged between £24-£27 for away fans (didn't mention youngsters) in 2020. If so, and if they charged kids that, then £30 isn't much more....
They've only been given an allocation of 1800 so I doubt itForest will sell 5000. First away day for them. So the crowd will be at least 20,000.
