I can easily see an extra quid being added to beer prices this season too.

But no doubt the quality of beer or service won’t improve though….they won’t make the investment needed to improve that side of things or they would have already done it

I can only speak for the Lower Holte and the service was much better with the new system where you order and pay at one of the terminals and then collect from the kiosk.

In 2036 that level of service will make its way to Witton Lane Upper Chris :-) we’ve regressed to cans being poured into plastic pint glasses :-)

European and cup games are going to be expensive - but if you want to guarantee a ticket for the final (if we get there), then we are going to have to go to each home game.

It is going to be an expensive season.
Even going to every European game won't guarantee you a ticket should we reach the final. We would receive a pitiful amount of tickets from UEFA as they look after corporate and the "UEFA family" first and foremost. I think West Ham only had 5,000 tickets . Its a bigger stadium in Athens but still nowhere near big enough.

Four of us get together to go to about half a dozen games a season but I think these prices may well scupper that. To sit together we normally buy Trinity tickets. Last year some of the ticket prices were in my eyes crazy (I think we payed £53 for Leicester CAT A). £63 a pop this year for some games means we might not be meeting up at the game.

Cat A games where we sit if i wanted to take one of my younger kids or grandkids i'd be staring into £68 a ticket . That seems very unfair. Not that fairness comes into this.
I'd like to see which part of the fan consultation suggested this madness.

When it gets to the stage where it's cheaper to travel and watch us away from home than at Villa Park then you know it's fucked.

On top of those match day prices, a high percentage must have paid the £40 claret membership in the first place too !
I wonder how many of those there are on top of the 30k ST holders. I’d assume at least most of the waiting list will be or they’d never get chance to buy tickets. Without a membership there is very little chance of games going to general sale…..and pretty much no chance next year with 7000 seats from a north end  to reallocate around the stadium

The 'Terrace view' has had poor uptake that's why they are scrambling around now and letting people on the waiting list jump the queue for a season ticket it they stump up £1600 .

Ahah!

I thought the waiting list was imaginary!

Has anybody written to the club and expressed their disgust regarding these excessive price hikes, if so what was the response if any?

& in all probability those £80 & £68 seats are the only ones where your likey to get 2or3 together.  £240 to take 2 kids to a game throw in food & drinks ... £300 . Absolute scandalous prices

Massively inflated to create what's happening now.

There's no way on earth 30,000 are on that list who would actually come forward and pay , if that was the case every single game would be sold out

Yeah the email reminding me of my Pride membership renewal forgot to mention the price hike. Funny that.

I don't think it's inflated,  it's free to join & many will have joined purely because they can .
Charge a small amount & the list would half(at least) IMO

Yeah I think some other clubs charge to get on and stay on a waiting list.
Missed opportunity , maybe they'll do this next year
