Monsell1976 Posted 2 April 2016 Share Posted 2 April 2016 We have people on here expecting a reduction based on the current season, you may have noticed we ain't 17th.......in any walk of life you expect to pay for quality....why would you devalue excellence?I think premier league wide, teams should be looking at cutting the prices, as with the TV money next year, a rise cannot be justified by any club, a freeze is just acceptable, and a cut would show clubs still care about the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes_Trust Posted 2 April 2016 Share Posted 2 April 2016 from the ts and cs from this time last year: 3. The Direct Debit Scheme operates on a recurring basis. Instalments will be automatically taken for a Season Ticket each season. Supporters who do not wish to retain their Season Ticket for the 2016/17 season via the Direct Debit Scheme must inform Leicester City Football Club before 1 March 2016. We raised this point at the last FCC meeting, as we don't believe this should be enforced until ST prices are known. In terms of delaying the ST price announcement, clubs like Spurs for example have included a couple of European Cup games within their season ticket prices, so we believe the club are looking at what other clubs have done in regards to Europe, but based on the "one game at a time mantra" are not going to state this.

City1884 Posted 3 April 2016 Share Posted 3 April 2016 I absolutely know I'm going to get shot down for this, and before anyone asks, no I don't work for the club, but it's my honest opinion. It seems there is one main opinion on prices for ST's next season, and that is that because the club have a lot more money coming in, and therefore don't need to raise ST prices, they shouldn't. Also, even though the club currently have a lot higher level of player, (which in some cases they have shelled out a lot more money for), and therefore providing a lot higher standard of football for us supporters to watch, this is not seen as any sort of valid reason for a price increase. In fact, most supporters would like to see a price cut. Well let me offer a bit of perspective: Let's assume the club does take that opinion, and gives a price cut for next season, all supporters will be happy I would naturally assume. Then let's say that due to European commitments (additional midweek matches), the possible loss of some star players (say Mahrez to Barca, and Kante to someone like PSG for example), and new signings not settling in next season, we do the unthinkable and get relegated. I know this sounds far fetched right now, but in this situation, we'd then for the following season see a huge loss in revenue, a huge loss again in quality of player (the usual relegation exodus), and with respect, a lot lower standard of opposition to watch. Based on the above, the same supporters I assume would be happy then to pay MORE for their season tickets would they? To help support the loss in revenue, even though the quality of football in all area's is worse??? The club could argue that they need to raise prices to cover the losses?? I know everyone would like prices to fall, and that goes for everything in life, but in my opinion, and based on the arguments the supporters are trying to make, next season is probably a season where price rises would actually be justified, even though the club don't have to, and if they do decide to even just freeze prices, I personally think that the supporters should be massively grateful. (Oh and yes, I am a season ticket holder, I would be willing to pay more to (hopefully) see the great standard of football to continue next season, and I would expect a price drop if we were relegated, because that is the much more realistic way pricing should be decided) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hankey Posted 11 April 2016 Share Posted 11 April 2016 As a gesture of goodwill, the "fantastic" support that we hear over the tannoy every home game and the massive increase in revenue from TV wouldn't it be nice for the Club to agree to keep season ticket prices the same?

The club will also receive a huge amount in parachute payments if they go to, to cover such an eventuality. Even ignoring those things, it's quite possible any debts built up will just be on the clubs bottom line, meaning we carry that debt around. Lets put it this way, if we scraped by this season again, would you have been happy with an increase? If you were losing most weeks, hanging around 17th and surviving by the skin of your teeth (something that could possibly happen to us at some point), would you be happy with an increase? You cannot have rises and falls in prices dependent on where you finish an individual season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they need to get a move on, the next DD is being taken at the and of this month and they have to give us enough notice of any price increase surely?

VLC86 Posted 11 April 2016 Share Posted 11 April 2016 Wonder if now that European football is gauranteed the club will announce the new prices and possibly an inclusion of European home games? Fully expect an opt in or opt out of all home cup matches option. That way, people are guaranteed champions league tickets without the staffing/resourcing issues and the FA/Capitol 1 cup will technically sell out.

That would be a smart and sensible move on the clubs part, and i'd appreciate avoiding the hassle of buying individual tickets for CL games. Cannot believe i've just written that!!!
