the club should pick one game and say its £10 a ticket.
This will show its not about the price. there maybe a few who wont pay £25, but would pay £20, but the majority of the thousands who have gone its very little to do with ticket prices.
I don't think we would get near a full house if tickets were free for one game
Said this at the start of the season. Unlike 2 years ago when we saw a decent increase in attendances when we hit form, it will not happen this season. A lot of people took up the ability to walk up on the day and pay what I think was about £20 for a ticket, and that was League 1 football.
£25 is a shocking price to pay on the day, but a price they have to charge because of the stupid booking fee. They can't drop the pay on the gate increase because it would make it cheaper than it is online.
As well, it's very expensive for young adults. I believe it's £18 on the gate for a student.

I expect to pay more than fans of Barnet, Morecambe and Forest Green etc but the club are clearly alienating a floating % of fans with this strategy...
I didn’t go today...I’ve been to the last four games including Chesterfield and Cambridge and both these days cost me over £100... had the prices been more like £20/£22 for myself and £5/6 for the kids I would have done it...
Ultimately over time for many it will be about the cost...not for all, but for many.
Yes the economics have to be right for the club but it’s also about building loyalty etc and at our lowest point ever those prices will not encourage an element of our support to go.
wouldn't the match package help you ?
I'm not convinced by the argument that it's ticket prices keeping the attendances down or least this being the major reason. In terms of affordability, tickets are as affordable now in relative terms as they have been for many years, when attendances were 12-18K. For sure, people are going to be less inclined to pay 24 / 26 quid for L1 than L2 on a point of principle over the standard of football on offer, and of course you'd see a couple of thousand more for a couple of games if the price were heavily discounted (but which would be an unsustainable model).
Rather, people have been moving away from the club for a number of years, no more so than in the last year owing to a simply miserable, miserable season spiked with SISU droppings all over the place (the ground, the AHC, the court cases, Ryton for houses etc). Cutting prices to 18 quid wont solve this: we are not a Bradford.
I know people are disappointed to see so few fans at the ricoh to watch a club doing well. I think some underestimate the damage that's been done to date to the fanbase.
It is too dear
Many fans can not afford it
15 for adults and kids for a quid
Over 10k right there
Well why not at least try and see then? If they don't it seems that they will be happy bumbling along with 7-7500 fans rather then trying to be proactive and try something else that may attract more.When we've tried this is the past we've never put more than a couple of k on the doors, even when people know it's a one-off. If the club thought it would bring more cash in, they'd do it.

Not working at the moment.Winning is the only sure fire way to increase attendances. Everything else is fiddling with the seats on the titanic
Not working at the moment.
It won't, but now it is.If we're top in March I can guarantee £25 won't be a problem.
