Season Tickets

[purpletrousers]

I'm the reason the prices are going up.

I will have attended 15 home games by the end of the season as a Claret Member (not sure how many of us there are). I'm 12500 on the waiting list and I'd pay the prices being quoted for a season ticket, because I really want one.

You're all the reason too, because not one person has said they aren't paying, yet. Obviously I'm hoping season tickets are offered to me and whilst there's part of me that doesn't want anyone to stop going because they can't afford it, I also know the reason people will give their ticket up is unlikely to be because the football is crap, the hope is gone, or that we'll be relegated.

The rises are big, but the ticket prices aren't out of kilter with other teams. With this manager, results are being delivered and expectations and hopes are rising. They will go up again next year, and the year after too.

I'd much rather ticket prices were capped, but the market and the owners of all the clubs will say no to that. FFP and the desire to compete will say no to that.

We don't compete commercially right now and haven't for a very long time. Expect that to change, beginning with us, because it's the fans that drive the commercial revenue, whether it's through tickets, shopping or advertising.

We're now facing the reality of what success will mean. None of us like it, but we are enjoying the football, the improvement and the hope. We just have to pay for it.

Would it annoy you that my 2yo is ahead of you Drummond at 12,118?
You can elbow me in the ribs tomorrow night.
Her first game will be Spurs in a couple of weeks, wish me luck with two little ones (imagine your own concerned/bonkers emoji). 

There isn’t a chance we’d have that much turnover close season is there?
Is hard to imagine many dropping out at this point in the (hopefully) club’s development.

I saw a Twitter poll the other day and I think it was around 20% said they wouldn’t renew.  A Twitter poll is very different to reality though.

I'm pleased for you! Though if she was added to the list after me (and my lad) I'd want to understand why..

I'm guessing that we may get close to getting one when the capacity increases by 10k. And that's just the way it is,...

I don't think there will be anywhere near that level of drop off. People say it but when the reality hits the situation is very different.

£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.

Same here. The bogs are hell in the Upper Doug. I gave up on getting a drink at half time many tears ago, and bring a flask.

Great view, TBF.

Upper Doug we are the ultimate mushrooms in the cupboard….the entire season ticket has to be for the fantastic view because the facilities in that stand are league 2 standard and have had no updates in well over a decade….the toilets are shoddy, there are very few ladies cubicles, the refreshments in terms of choice and speed of service are contemptible.

[Flin5tone]

I think the issue with many is you're paying a premium price for horrendous facilities. That's always why the north stand was heavily discounted. You can't move in the upper Doug and all around the service is shocking.

A number of us on here provided simple solutions but the club wasted thousands on self -serve rubbish that's hasn't improved anything

Hate the stand, love the view.

The self service system has definitely made it much easier to get a drink in the Lower Holte if you want one.

Where do you see where you are on the waiting list?

I've seen a graphic that indicates we're still the 15th cheapest ticket in the league (assuming Chelsea don't suddenly reduce their prices by a grand).

[walsall villain]

My over 66 ticket in L3 seems to have increased in price by about a third. Bit of a shock, thought 15% was the general figure? The days of 50% discount for pensioners is a distant memory 🙁

The season ticket waiting list?

[sid1964]

Priority access to away games for season ticket holders - does this mean if you are a season ticket holder you will be able to buy away ticket games?

At least there are no booking fees LOL.

This looks like a straw that could break a lot of camels' backs. £41 a game. Hefty.
