Season Tickets - 2022/23

[andyh]

We must be close to hearing details for ST’s for next season.
There are Twitter rumours (Ty Bracey) of a ‘significant’ increase in pricing (30%?)

[Dave P]

I’ve heard that too. It’s supply and demand I suppose but that would be a borderline scandalous increase.

If the rumours are true then we all need to do something about this. A 30% increase when we are all being squeezed for our extra cash is ridiculous.

A few years ago Liverpool protested against the £77 ticket price by leaving on the 77th minutes and their owners back tracked. Now with us being live on Sky on Saturday, a similar protest would make the owners take note.

Had a season ticket for 43 years through good and bad, if this is true I may just have to quit and let go- nothing to do with performance on the pitch, I will have been priced out which is heart breaking but reality.

[PeterWithe]

Although its pretty widespread to plant stories of a 30% increase and then when you announce a 10-15% increase, it looks more reasonable than it might otherwise have done.

[dave.woodhall]

It's a Twitter rumour.

[Dave P]

It's a Twitter rumour.

But then you have to apply the formula of twitter rumour which is good news = doesn't happen, twitter rumour which is bad news = always happens.

[Clampy]

They're bound to go up again but I can't see it being 30%.

If they actually empolyed enough staff to serve beer and food on matchdays (and maybe served pies that hadn't been transformed to concrete by over heating) they'd be able to significantly increase match day revenue without having to ask fans to dig too much deeper into their pockets on ticket prices.

[Gareth]

They should probably charge us extra for the additional ballache that VP is to get to/from nowadays as that has enhanced the match day experience by a good few hours across the season :-)

On a serious note if there is a significant increase i will after 30 years probably give it up mainly due to that ballache of getting to and from that we all know will not improve, there will be lip service to get planning through but nothing will getter better.

Catering service is terrible, isn't it? So slow!  I've forgone my half-time cuppa more times this season than I care to mention because of the ridiculous delays.

30% increase would be a joke!

[Skerra]

Like you, I don’t bother now with my half time coffee as it takes far too long to get served. Multiply that with the number of home games plus, the high number of people that are now doing the same, it adds up to a pretty penny.
If ticket prices are to be increased by that sort of amount, I doubt I will be renewing either. It’s not as if we are going to be challenging for anything anytime soon!!

Judging by this data (https://www.statista.com/statistics/328650/premier-league-teams-ranked-by-cheapest-season-ticket-price/), even if the club did put prices up by 30% then we'd still only be the 10th most expensive club in the Prem, even if every other club froze prices.

As painful as it'll be, while we have thousands on a waiting list and other clubs charge much more, there will always be the temptation and rationale for the club to increase prices.

PS Wolves' cheapest season ticket is £549?!  WTAF!

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

Purslow said "no aggressive price hikes" in one of the fans meetings this season. The minutes were posted online.

[BlackCountryVilla]

A 30% increase would be a disgrace but with a large waiting list I reckon it will go up more than it has before.
If you don't renew someone will take your place. It is as simple as that.
I have had mine for over 30 years. Can't say I fancy finding an extra £100.
Too many kick off times moved, travel away from ground a nightmare, no chance of any away tickets...
That said I still love it !!!
