Ashley Preece was asked and has commented about season tickets "Season ticket prices - nothing concrete but the word on the grapevine is that they could be going up by 10 percent"

The club have opened up the upper Doug Ellis stand (normal away blocks) and can be purchased online

Let's see if those sell out. Will be a good indication if those on waiting last are genuinely interested.

R1 has also been opened up to those over the age of 21

Congratulations on being the most boring, most predictable, most repetitive poster here.

Many season ticket holders can’t make all the midweek games. I am one of them. It doesn’t stop me having a season ticket though, and nor would it stop me wanting one if I was on the waiting list.

I'm slightly disappointed in a weird kind of way. I thought I was.

and, as fred has been told many times, being on the waiting list for a season ticket doesn't mean you're automatically available or interested in buying tickets for a single match, the 2 things aren't the same at all.

Especially a Tuesday night game that is being televised.

To be fair to Fred it's only because of his post that I was even aware that these had gone on sale.  The club could probably do a bit more to publicise the availability of extra tickets, as a lot of people who might want to go may well think the game is sold out if they looked for tickets in the last week or two.

Strangely, I didn't find anything to be critical of in Fred's post (even the snide " let's see..." theme was pretty mild by his standards).

It's the endless repetition of the same flawed point.

There's nothing wrong in the way he expresses himself, it's the boring-as-fuck trollery of the actual point he's making, the senselessness of which has been explained to him 300 times to no avail.

Yes, they don’t seem to be promoting these extra seats very widely and it seems very half hearted.  If you go online to look for tickets, the upper Witton extra seats aren’t highlighted as available. It’s not clear at all.

Have to say it seems pretty tone deaf of the club to put up prices so significantly given the current context of food inflation and huge energy bills.

If the reasoning is that it’s more in line with clubs such as Chelsea/Spurs/Arsenal etc then can someone point out to the club that Birmingham is significantly poorer than London and the south east? Paying London prices on Birmingham wages?
