Season tickets on sale 6th may

The only obvious caveat is match day tickets probably will be cheaper next season (not sure if they will do category A B and C again?) and considering our opponents we'd never be anywhere near selling out so will be a lot more seats and options available each matchday.

So the overall savings/convenience may not be as high as normal.

The oldest receipt I have was for the 2011/12 season and I paid £336 for an adult in the canton stand. This was made up of £329 for the ticket and £7 for the other unavoidable fees they always bolt on.

Even accounting for inflation, in terms of entertainment, they were much better value 16 years ago 😊

Club heard of shrinkflation and thought we're having a bit of that!

I actually don't think they will be. I think the club will keep the same structure, but just inevitably have more Grade C games, which presumably will be the standard.

I'm all for affordable football, but it's not the best way to sell season tickets, esp when many will be thinking of not renewing anyway

My first season ticket was 10 shillings and sixpence (62 pence for you young uns) in 1959 for the Canton Stand and I think that covered me for all the combination matches as well!
I still have it in storage, along with many footy magazines and programmes dating from about the 1920s.

Programmes from the 1920's are very, very rare ! Sounds an interesting collection..

But that’s one of few things the board does to well for us.

More expensive than Bayern Munich.

Our prices are good, no complaints about that, but “too cheap”? Nonsense. Just because other clubs charge more doesn’t mean we should.

Our tickets work out to roughly 15 quid for ~90 minutes of entertainment (or whatever you want to call it). The equivalent level of quality of live music, cinema, theatre performances, etc are all roughly similarly priced. (Obviously not a London West End performance or a Glasto headliner playing Wembley).

Football is still predominantly a working class game and on minimum wage, 90 mins of working gets you 90 mins of football. That seems a pretty fair trade off to me for Championship/League One quality football.

Someone always has to be the cheapest, it doesn’t mean they’re too cheap. If we were slap bang in the middle of the price ranges would the 12 clubs below us be undercharging their fans, and would the 11 above us be overcharging?

Other clubs should be looking to match our prices, not the other way round.

Seconded.

Our prices are relatively good, that's true. But football in this country is still far too expensive and entirely unaffordable for many.

Like this post very much:thumbup:

They’ve backed themselves into a corner over the last 5 years as the quality on the field is so bad they can’t justify a price increase more than once every 3-4 years

the prices are good, they don’t have to freeze them.

However if we had built on some of the successes we’ve had under Tan, and were a premier league club they could probably be charging near double by now and getting good crowds.

Not sure what I’d prefer
