I was going to say maybe they should wait until were on a winning streak before releasing ticket details but then I thought about that statement...

I've had a look at the website with the details on and something doesn't make sense to me.

This season we moved from A3 to A2, because of a saving of around £60.   A3 was considered a premium seat because it was close to the half way line.   In actual fact, although we moved about 10 rows back, in terms of where we were situated in relation to the pitch, it wasn't much different.

Now if I have got this correct, they have changed A3 seats to the same price as A2 and therefore they will be circa £60 cheaper this year than last?

So if you are sat in section A2, you have a right Brucie Bonus !!!

As someone said, not sure a tenner makes it worth renewing early.   I will keep my powder dry and see how the summer plays out before committing I think.    As SOTC said though, there have been a number of deals this year which season ticket holders haven't had and yet the price stays the same?.   Hardly an incentive?

So they've had to offer match tickets at reduced prices for every home game this season to get a decent(ish) crowd and they still haven't seen fit to reduce season ticket prices.  Can't say I'm impressed.

Not just that but...

Earlybird Price Freeze

Anyone who purchases their seat before June 1 can guarantee THE best value as they will benefit from a price freeze...at 2011-12 season prices.

So prices might be going up if you renew after that point? That's shocking.

On a positive note they slashed the North stand lower seats back to prices of 2007

They ARE going up after that point between £10 and £15 I think.

If they scrapped that welcome pack few people really care about they could probably save that £10-15 themselves.

We haven't even used this season's welcome pack so don't want next season's thanks.

The second week in March ffs!!! If we were in any doubt that the club are frightened to death about the number of folks that won't renew then this is the proof.

Disappointing they've raised them yet again, by a tenner in all parts of the ground.

Very happy though to see they've introduced a new cheapskate season ticket for some of the corner bits of the stands.

£295. That works out at less than 15 quid a game so think I'll be getting one. Can't care where I sit so that will do I think as the club will probably stop the cheap matchday deals as I would expect the 2 000 tickets on offer to be taken so that will offset a little the decline in general season ticket sales.

As others have said, no real incentive to renew early, and disappointed they haven't come up with something to encourage us to stump up for a ST up front rather than going for match-by-match deals. Saving £10 won't see me rushing to the ticket office before June 1st.

Like Pauline, the 'welcome pack' was no use to me. Money is extremely tight for me now and to keep going to games I've had to really cut my match day spending - taking sandwiches and drink rather than buying at the ground (so the BOGOF drink no use), no longer buying a programme (so £1 off a programme no use), no longer going to away games (so £2 off an away trip no use), I've not watched AVTV (let's be honest - the games have had precious few highlights to merit watching them again), and I can't afford to buy merchandise (so the £5 there was no use). The seat and car stickers are still in the box. I'd rather have £20 off my ST than a box of PR tricks.

I'll be waiting til the very last minute, and if the people I sit with don't renew there's a real chance I won't either - the banter with mates is the best part of the day lately.

Looking at the prices, would I be right in thinking they're scrapping the under21 ticket for next season?  :(

EDIT: Ignore me, just seen "young adult"... It's been a long day...
