Season Tickets

[Brazilian Villain]

Wolves have put theirs up by 17%. The reaction is angry to say the least

The response to this on SHA.
"Hope you're all ready for it to be us in a couple of years..." was countered with
"I can’t imagine they would charge those prices in a 62,000 seater stadium."

There is an increase of 176 per cent for under-14 tickets in the Billy Wright upper - an increase from £105 to £290.

There is also a 131.7 per cent increase for under-21 disabled tickets for a wheelchair user in the North Bank, going from £211 to £489. #wwfc

Quote:
"...Look at many Premier League clubs’ plans for next season and fans aren’t happy.
Arsenal and Tottenham are not inviting any new OAP season-ticket holders – and are doing away with the idea of discounts for them.
Manchester City’s incremental rises – with different percentage increases spread across the Etihad Stadium in a move described as ‘divide and conquer’ – continue.
A second mortgage might be handy to watch Fulham from their new stand, at £3,000 the most expensive ticket in Britain.
Liverpool are fearing rises in the coming weeks.

Manchester United’s have gone up for the second year running after a long freeze.
Chelsea are expecting hikes, Aston Villa the same and also disgruntled by the removal of long-standing fans in the Holte End for hospitality.
Brentford’s going up 10 per cent, Burnley even more.
The list goes on and on.
All condemned and all feeding into an idea one high-profile executive was privately championing over a decade ago.

His club didn’t want season ticket holders.
They could fill the stadium of over 40,000 people with those signing up to membership schemes – access to matches sold at a premium.
First, with an initial fee to join and then by making bigger mark-ups on tickets for individual matches.
‘Matchday revenue increases 30 per cent overnight that way,’ he said.
Another has told staff not to worry about ‘local’ fans in a heartland of their city and focus instead on global reach."

There's a lot more, but it's quite depressing if you have a season ticket.

I've no time for Wolves but their increases are ridiculous. It's a shame that fans of all clubs don't unite over ticket prices and instead often prefer to remain tribal. Every increase at every club has a knock on effect with other clubs, including us.

I'm in the front block of T2 , if they have taken my seat that may just be the end for me after 45 years , 35 as ST holder.

Moving into the 2024/25 season, Mobile Tickets will become the default method through which Season Tickets are issued, increasing efficiency and security inside King Power Stadium, and unlocking the full potential of additional benefits such as Ticket Forwarding and Ticket Resale. Supporters who wish to purchase a physical Season Ticket card will be able to do so at a cost of £25 per card, though charge exemptions will apply for Seniors 65+, Under-12s and supporters with a registered disability.

Mobile tickets that can't be transferred will be here soon . They have like a moving bar code on them so you cant just forward them on . Big Brother .

Don't give up now mate (if it's still affordable for you), we may be about to go into the best years since you bought your first ST.  The club aren't trying to fuck over fans, just slightly bridge the huge gap with the Sky 6.  We'd all be moving if it was a new stadium.  People manage with the change even if they don't like it.

Keep the faith (if you can)

They will keep fucking the fans over for as long as is possible .

They get around this at Anfield by just passing the phone itself on.

They're just putting in a bit of corporate seating to try to allow us to compete.  Yes football exploits fans, but we're no worse than the majority of PL clubs and significantly better than those we're trying to compete with.

That doesn't really work on a widescale basis eg selling on the black market. Fine with family etc

Tell that to the touts in and around Anfield where they're passing multiple phones on every week for £500 a go in envelopes.

I just can't see that the damage caused by this between the fans and the owners is worth the pittance they'll get in extra income? They struggled to turn a profit on the Holte vandalism, so how the fuck they think people are going to pay through the nose to sit in that 70s concrete north stand monstrosity I do not know?!

If it means an extra player, fair enough, but I just cannot see the numbers getting anywhere close to this kind of figure personally!

I think they should have held back until the new stand gets built, and sold another player as makeweight instead. More passionate lifelong fans surrounded by family, friends and traditions, displaced in favour of money and voiceless tarquins taking selfies on their business trip. Make what you will of it, but in my opinion, it's utter bollocks.

Unless momentum continues apace on the pitch this will all come crashing down round their ankles
