And I think the family that had them only came to maybe 3 or 4 games before then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised at Bournemouth and obviously ourselves considering our safety has been guaranteed for over a month? The only thing I can think of for Bournemouth is them building their new ground might affect things, maybe not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripeyfox Posted 9 May 2018 Author Share Posted 9 May 2018 I'd be disappointed, but not surprised if there were an increase. They've been frozen for a few years now and there is bound to be internal pressure to eek a few more quid out of us. But I don't think it is justified when you think about how much extra money they gain. With 23,000 season tickets at an average price of - what, difficult to say because there are a pretty big chunk of that 23,000 tickets are for kids at much lower prices, but if we're being generous lets say the average price is £350, which gives a net ST revenue of £ 8,050,000. Let's say prices increase across the board by 10% then that bumps the revenue up to £ 8,855,000 - still pretty small beer! If they are going to increase then I'd be ok with it providing the facilities were improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 9 May 2018 Share Posted 9 May 2018 If it's an increase, I don't necessarily have an issue as it's been frozen for a while and provided it doesn't go pass £42-43 per month, it's decent value. However, it makes the delay in an announcement all the more baffling and shoddy. I am still find it perplexing that an owner who specialises in retail has done nothing to improve this side of the club since they bought it. Ticket office still crap, superstore still crap.

Yes, I agree. If they are going to increase then fine - some people will be ok with it and others not, depending on the level of the increase, but I guess they'll all still sell out regardless. But the delay just backs up the rhetoric that the ticket office don't have a fricking clue what they are doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the end of the season, someone who works there will suddenly wake up in a cold sweat and think "shit, I know what we forgot to do..." They probably get to the end of this month and check revenue expecting about £300K in ST income then when it's not there they remember it needs to be renewed. Panic ensues, they freeze prices and start taking DD payments 2 days after they announce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 14 May 2018 Share Posted 14 May 2018 i've come to the conclusion that there will be no season tickets for next season. It'll be a massive free-for-all. Fvck anyone's priority!
