I know the club needs to operate as a business , but Gate receipts are now far less important when you factor in TV money. If I was being cynical , I would think the club want the new tourist supporter spending shit loads of money in the club shop, club bars and other money making ventures. It's far easier to fleece money from a day tripping tourist than a regular who brings their own flask of tea ! ( I have seen this, don't know how they get that past the stewards)
Don't think the club have read the room very well on this one. The worrying thing is , if genuine long time supporter make the tough decision that they can't afford it , their ticket will , I'm sure , be snapped up.
If that happens the club can continue to raise prices at the current steep rate. I know we are business and are subject to supply and demand forces , but there's a cost of living crisis and a lot of people have had to alter their spending accordingly.

Is it me? When I click on all the season ticket information & excuses etc,  I can find no general list/info of the prices round the ground? Ominously, it keeps showing 'error' when I try to renew 2 tickets in Trinity B5... Anyone know why?

Nope, I got as far as adding my existing ones to the basket for payment, before deciding I will wait until the last possible moment.

It all adds up. 40K people all paying £300 more is £12m a year.

I can't actually see a grid with the various prices. Am I missing something?

Last season I paid £370 for my ssn tkt.
£531 this season.
Likely to be approx £610 next season.
That’s a 65% increase within the space of 12 months (over 3 seasons) for the same seat!

Not only can I not see the prices, the 2 seats we have had for 21 seasons are showing 'these seats are already occupied'. WTFF!

You expect to be able to sit on a seat on your own without sharing it? Well really.

Is it possible to live a season ticket now for next year ? Or does that only happen at the end of the season ?

The price hike is a lot. Luckily it’s just me, I can take the hit. I feel for parents who take a couple of kids !

£780 for the upper doug concourse... Pretty sickening. Over 20 years season ticket and starting to wonder whether it's worth it anymore.

You can't even have a piss at half time.

Im surprised that they haven’t considered offering an opportunity to pay a fee to move towards the front of the waiting list. I reckon people would definitely pay to jump the queue… (Purslow, this isn’t genuine feedback, my tongue is firmly in cheek)

Prices are a piss take now, it's why I don't go any more as I won't pay it out of principle. And never forget, a big selling point at the launch of the Premier League back in the day was how the extra money for clubs would help keep ticket prices low for fans. That worked out well.
