Ticket prices in League One

[SK3Blue]

I can honestly see them dropping to £15 in some areas for midweek games. Every penny will count. 
 

A quick calculation, if they keep 11500/ roughly 50% of the season tickets at an average of £400 (higher rates in some areas, lower rates for kids and u22s) that income pays for ‘WINKSY’ for his final 12 months. 
 

They are well and truly in the brown stuff.

City’s season ticket prices are a nonsense for league 1. Looking at the equivalent of central J2 seating for other league 1 teams, city’s prices for Seniors work out at £26.50 per match whereas Bolton is under £14 and Peterborough £16!

I think we should be drumming up some support / “noise”.to get the Trust & other fan bodies to open dialogue lines on this??

God knows the number of ST’s binning it off BUT those staying, who have committed their continued support are subsidising the clubs total failure AND ability to retain their ST fan base and numbers.

The club have got it BADLY wrong , rumours like “they didn’t actually believe they would go down” in 23 and this seasons utter fiasco  & obvious misjudgment, see Tops last TV press interview.

Need a financial applicable olive branch to your distanced fan base.

Lets challenge the club on match & ST pricing??!!

Haha, if ever there was a statement more contradictory than this.

 

You're financially supporting the ownership, you are NOT against the ownership 

You're literally maintaining the ownership's status. While also filling the seats to contribute to the club's facade of attendance numbers.

Seriously, where do people on here get off telling people what they should and shouldn’t be doing? You don’t want to go, that’s fine, you do you. But leave your judgments on other people elsewhere. 
 

We all have different motivations for going and it’s not all down to money. It’s down to steeped family traditions, stuff we have done with family members no longer with us, or ways of keeping social interactions with others alive. 
 

You can be a supporter who goes to the games AND be against the ownership, the two are not mutually exclusive. 

Where has this rule come from that you can’t judge people for their actions?

 

People are allowed to do what they like, and other people are allowed to say it’s embarrassing behaviour that deserves to be ridiculed. The shoe is on the other foot now. People aren’t just going to let it go.

 

And to anyone who says going doesn’t make you complicit: nonsense. Boycotts and disruptive protests attract the interest of the media, that causes pressure on individuals and humiliation for the ownership. For an owner who only cares about his money and his reputation, that would have made a difference.

I’m not sure it’s as simple as this in all honesty.
 

It’s not (yet) a Chansiri / Wednesday situation where the owner is not willing to put money in and has turned off the taps. Top/KP continue to provide loans and funding to the club and presumably will do so regardless of numbers of bums on seats. 
 

It’s a very difficult position to be in as a fan. I understand anybody who is no longer going and I understand those who still go even if they are anti-ownership. At the end of the day this is OUR club, and we were here long before KP were the custodians, and will be here long after they’ve gone. I understand why people would not want to feel forced out of their own club due to one regime.

Nail on the head. 
 

Frustrates me that everyone blames one another. 
 

Some people think that it isn’t possible to have a social with friends/family and go to watch the game and be against KP. They are seen as the problem. 
 

Some people think that it isn’t possible to be a fan if you only attend games when we’re winning, assuming that those with the above mentality haven’t been for years. 
 

We can have a middle ground and whilst paying to watch this shit won’t be helping. On the flip side if we sold out every week we might have got a few more point who knows!

This bit has to be a joke? Have you seen how much the players don’t give a shit about you, me or wether the stadium is full

I’m interested to see where they go with this. Their prices are too high but they have frozen the season tickets. So if they lower the matchday prices then season ticket holder will rightly kick off

All they have to do is match the ST per match price . Probably won't as they think we will piss the league and fans will come back

Season tickets have always made very little in the total of a club turnover..its not a new thing.

 

Bayern Munich tickets are so cheap, as the club refuse to put them up much. This is because it makes no real different to what a club can afford. But to fans it keeps it affordable.

That's fair, we get to see one team play football at the KP every other week, can see why people would go. 

 

All in the hope that one day the team in blue can learn to play football again.

That’s understandable. Why are they at the KP though?

[CornwallFox]

Well currently Plymouth and Exeter are both in league one so that would make a couple of away days easy from here.

 

Though Plymouth are currently just outside the playoffs and Exeter are in the relegation zone so even that might turn to shit as an idea.

Our decline curve is steeper than Sheff Wednesday’s though. Top is arguably as bad / worse than Chansiri in that regard

My post was in no way a defence of Top, just adding a viewpoint as to why people still going isn’t necessarily maintaining the ownership’s status as said by another poster. 

[AjcW]

I imagine it'll be incentivised at times throughout the season, but ultimately won't go down much, you can already get a ticket for low 20's in this league if you don't mind where you sit. 

 

I've been to a few Notts County games in League 2 this season and that set me back £27

As soon as matchday tickets match the ST equivalent, I would find it very difficult to justify having a season ticket and be bound to them for the whole season when I could simply just turn up on matchdays when I want to, knowing full well there will be spaces everywhere. All sounds very non-committal, but since when did this lot deserve commitment anymore?

Kind of are, if no fans turned up this season they will be forced to change the regime/sell up. 

 

20k + down there - nothing changes 

 

if it makes you feel better though believe your own narrative. Have they taken the £450 out your account already? 

There’s little evidence that not attending games helps the situation. If you are trying to sell a club, a resilient fanbase is a good start. I’m sure 45k turning up at Newcastle helped sell that club, and still attending gives the opportunity to protest in the stadium. An empty stadium allows an owner who doesn’t give a shit to give even less of a shit.
 

If it makes you feel better though, believe YOUR own narrative. Moan about the many non happy clappers that attend the game and slag them off on social media whilst continuing to watch Leicester on telly. 

[KrefelderFox666]

As an apology to the fans they should chop ticket prices (ST and match tickets) by 50% next season.

No mate. The biggest news story on Saturday was fans protesting at the players IN the ground attending the match. Picked up by national media, as well as a stadium of Pompey fans and press An empty away end would’ve given the players an easy ride. An empty away end would’ve meant Winksy could’ve got on the bus without having to answer to some home truths and deal with his own embarrassing reaction.

tbh ill probably go to games next season just to slag the players off for the full 90

[Legend_in_blue]

I find it bizarre that they are still operating a queuing system for new season ticket holders next season.  No membership, no place in the queue.  I can't decide whether that is sheer arrogance or incompetence.  Probably a bit of both. 

 

[Lesterlad]

I buy a ticket because I support the team. I don’t support the board or the owners as I want them gone, but I will still attend games because I want to see my team play and win

Not the players - there’ll be mainly the kids that deserve our support. It needs to be aimed at Top and Rudkin

They will lock the first few games behind membership again btw.
