The other thing about season ticket holders - they come to every home match, probably with the same mates / family, they have a routine, and it isn't going to involve spending loads of cash at the ground. They'll meet in town or whichever local boozer before the match, and they'll go there after.

What they won't do is spend money on food and drink at the ground, and they won't then go and get shirts and all sorts of shit at the club shop after.

A 'this is my first time' style match attender is worth way, way more than 'season ticket price / 19'

Well I've just looked to see how many seats members have taken up on tonight's sales window...
...not many is the answer, absolutely loads left all round the stadium, some sections below 50% sold.
As most have said the pricing for this was a mistake, may get to general sale with one game since 1874 criteria

And I’d venture the GA+ will get zero interest as a result

100% correct Pat, and so easy for most on here to see

Heck has a very cunning plan to guarantee the title this season.

When we won it in 80-81 our average home attendance was around 34,000. He's working on getting it down from full houses to that level.

That's the genius of the man.

It's probably been covered many times in this debate, but what do people think would be a reasonable ticket price for our first Cl venture in 41 years watching a team of world class talent under the guidance of one of the best managers in the world taking on the cream of European football ?

What do you think?

Well put it this way. I'm not doing the  complaining.

Then pay it. If you dont like people complaining, I'd stay off this thread or is that too difficult?
I have. And I have no problem with people complaining. Equally they could just say it's too much for me thanks and leave it to someone else. Like any other rpurchase decision.

It's impossible to spend loads of cash in the Witton Upper once you're in. The queues are miles back to get food or drink, then queues for a piss . It's a joke

Season ticket price for league game in the lower Holte approximately £43, would have been happy to pay £65, financially I can afford the £79, but with all the crap with turnstile issues, Holte suite and now ticket pricing I get the feeling that I am no longer wanted,

[VillaTim]

Might go the Bologna game once they start heavily discounting the tickets or they have to farm a load out to Groupon or similar

Probably £50 for Z4 and up to £65 for Z1 for Bayern and Juve, maybe slightly less for Celtic, particulalrly if we've "qualified" by then and I'd have made the Bologna game much cheaper than that.

So we're all wetting the bed over about £15-20 then.

It’s because the £50-£65 is already a lot of money. It already about a tenner more than last year, when it was already a lot of money to keep finding. A lot more than most of us want to pay but we are somehow stretching to keep doing it because we really want to keep being there even though it’s more than we can afford if we’re really honest with ourselves.

THEN they add on another £15-£20.

£60 tops for Bayern and Juve, the other category A games. Then £45-50 tops for the rest.

No one wetting the bed,

I agree that one timers or less frequent visitors may spend more but they’re really missing a trick with the poor service etc, although it seems it’s been going on since the dawn of time. It’s not earth shattering but every little helps so if you had everyone getting a drink or food that wanted it without missing any of the match you’re talking of millions in extra revenue that’s currently being missed.

[Dogtanian]

I wonder if the return of the 10% discount is to help them track season ticket holder’s spend better.

[VillaTim]

Let's see how all this GA+ crap goes with giants like Palace and Bournemouth rolling into town soon .
