Season Tickets

[Swedging]

Seems like some odd options there. Ownership of the club (whether Mandaric or other) is unlikely to influence many season ticket purchases in itself, so why is that a key question?

Really...so you think the current board will increase ST sales if they remain?

[Nationwider]

No.

No.

The cost of travel to home matches.

Despite living in the South, I would defo be a season ticket holder again had I not worked on Saturdays and hopefully, if all goes well, a change of jobs will allow that soon.

Im not bothered whether we are in the old D4, the conference or the Premiership, it wouldnt make a difference to me and it wouldnt determine the reasons behind going to watch City. If we all go down the road of having to play great football or have a quality stadium or being Premier before following ourteam, we`ll be no better than the part-time supporters that have latched on to Man Utd and Chelski in recent years.

Follow the boys regardless!

Good honest answer.

Over the years , I have had season tickets, bought and paid for them for me and my family but , circumstances change, be it the attractive football (or not), the league we play in , finances, moving home, etc etc. as above , always follow your team, be true to them , and you hold your head high as true supporters. You may be thousands of miles away, only visiting every ten years or so, you may be a bus ride away, but do what you can for your club, and you will always find you can be true to yourself.

Season tickets do tie you down a bit , hopefully being kept as a good investment re: prices, for those that require them, but me for now /next season, I will opt for picking the games I can attend.

I would think that some of the current board will remain, anyway...

But ownership is not something I would take into account when renewing. It's not something anyone else has mentioned either.

Even though, as a season ticket holder, I've put up with a lot of dire performances and results in the last couple of seasons, you always have that thought before every game that you might just be there to witness something special.

Ironically, some of those performances that put the shine back in the past two seasons - Fulham, Aston Villa and Spurs - have been Cup games (and therefore not included in the season tickets!) but I'm sure you get the point.

We go in the hope that we might see a fantastic team performance, a Fryatt hat-trick, a Hume wonder goal or a debut performance from a star of the future. Sure, sometimes that hope is very faint - but that's what makes it all the sweeter.

Success is all relative, though - these days you do feel a buzz from the crowd when the team strings a few passes together (as happened early in the Fulham game) and the place is fairly rocking when we win. I've been to Chelsea a couple of times over the past few seasons and it's not quite the same crowd reaction when they win. They expect to do it, so a dull 1-0 over Charlton or whoever is not really cause for celebration.

I have got a season ticket for this season.

Other - May go to all away games and no/very few home games next season but still thinking about it.

Other - Shite atmosphere and a predictable day out.

[renards]

I can't buy one as being a 15 year old fan I can't afford one!

I'm nearer getting a OAP discount than I am to your age!!!

But at least I can remember when we played good football.

If fact at 15 you can't of seen a single decent game, depressing thought.

Be interesting to know the ages of those who post who seem fairly content with our current plight

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

[Leicfox]

I have'nt got one, although if i still lived in Leicester i still probably would'nt get one, not because of cost or anything like that, the reason being im an away fan..Id rather go to 10 away games than 20 odd home games, ive always been that way and did it with Blackpool for years too.

Very true, I am contemplating getting, I have 2 young kids for which i would get free season tickets but the fact remains, while we play rubbish football, it still does not give value for money!!

[leicestertrucker]

to me it will be all down to cost!! not only do i have a season ticket but i have to pay for my 3 kids, last year it was 5 kids, but 2 of them didnt want to go this year. would be interesting to find out how many times i could of taken them this year for a pound??

[MC Prussian]

What do you reckon are the Leicester City prices compared to other clubs in our league?

Without knowing details, I'd say "smaller" teams with older grounds must logically charge less money than we do?

Is our club ripping off the fans or not? Sometimes, I have the feeling they do (Cup game against Fulham, anyone?).

i think our prices are reasonable compared to other teams in this league.

[Wils]

Any idea how much they normally are

£320 ish adult i think,bout £225 young adults.

[dannyallen1992]

£320 ish adult i think,bout £225 young adults.

Cheers i think thats quite resonably for our team

[Jimmy]

i have 1 atm want to renew what ever but may not be able to unless i find a new job pretty soon

[holly]

cant beleive how many people have said they wouldnt get a season ticket because of the standard of play on the pitch.

might sound a bit harsh but thats not really great support is it, the boys need supporting however they play!

If you pay £350 odd pounds it's not unreasnobale to want your moneys worth. A ST at Leicester doesn not represent value for money ATM as far as I'm concearned.

yeh u wanna see something decent, but as football fans u know when u pay the money its not all gunna be perfect.

Hols - I'm 42. In a not very long time away I am going to die. In the short, relative, space of time I have left on the planet there are a number of things I would like to do with my time...play with my kids, cook some nice meals, get pissed, fart and so on - useful constructive things.

What I am not prepared to do in future is waste my time watching a team of players (who don't give a flying **** for the most part) managed by a tactically inept gibbon while the business equivalent of Gerald Ratner presides over the club ("It's all shit Ladies and Gentlemen, it's all shit").

Without change, substantial change, I will not be renewing my ST. I'm too old, too bored and too pissed off to be bothered with this anymore. Saturdays come and I am left with a feeling that attending games is a chore rather than a part of my life I used to find fun...in fact, if I'm not meeting people before the game for drinkies I invariably hate the experience: lacklustre play followed by a miserable traffic queue to leave the city and a radio interview proclaiming a predictable redoubling of efforts.

During the first half of my life I have come to realise that certain things are important and cheering for a bunch of overpaid, undertalented mother****ers (that care less for the game than I do) isn't one of them.

It isn't the losing or the 0-0 draws that gets me; Without hope of witnessing anything resembling passion or effort week in week out is a waste of my life. Then comes the Cup games, the slap in the face as they put on a display that should be enacted week in week out.

Leicester, and football at large, no longer see the likes of us as spectators or fans...we are now "revenue streams" to be milked. They play on our commitment and our association with the past in order to line their pockets in the future. Football doesn't belong to us anymore - teams don't belong to us anymore, they belong to business. Loyalty to a club seems to have as much relevance as loyalty to a brand of crisps or a car manufacturer nowadays.

We may laugh at those people who buy the shirt of the latest Premier League champions each season...but who, at the end of the day, who is being served better by their club?

Birmingham fans have been ripped off season in season out by the Porn King. Just this week he announced that he has given up on all the ones that don't willingly want to be fleeced - he ostracised them. The fans of the club still exist - they've just been priced out of the game...they'd still go, still support, if he wasn't intent on lining his pockets. In the meantime they have found other things to do with their time and attendances remain low.

And so that's me.

As I feel at the moment, I will be finding something else to do with my time. Maybe I'll start going to non-league games...maybe I'll do a "all the stadiums in the UK" thing...maybe I'll spend some afternoons in bed with the wife? Who knows? I'll not be at every sodding home game that's for sure.

[Manwell Pablo]

Correct, I shouldn't have to put up with it being absloutley ****ing dyer every week though should I? The Ironic thing is, two the best games at the Walkers this season weren't even included on your season ticket!

But would you buy a ticket to go and see them in the new wembley if we were so lucky to get there in the next 5 years???

Loyal supportser PAH!

Chill man

[Daggers]

Loyal supportser PAH!

As you will have noted, I said that this is how I feel based on everything remaining as it is, hence the reason for including the word Mandaric in the poll. As tethers go, I have reached the end of mine.

[lcfc_jme]

Haven't got a Season Ticket this season though I attend most home games anyway Definitely should be getting one next season though, and for as many years as we stay in business during my life after that

Are the club still going to do a structured payment type thing similar to Norwich I think it is so that students can still pay for a ST if they want one?

[Foxed]

I've had a season ticket for over 10 years even when at uni in Brum and even when working in Reading but for the last few years I've not enjoyed going to the footie every fortnight so now share a ticket with my Dad so neither of us have to be miserable every week! Quality of football has gone down in my years as an ST holder. I admit the first season I was a real fan was the year we first got into the playoffs so really I've only ever known success but every week I've been going thinking that week would be the game that would make having an ST worth it. And there hasn't been one this season so far. So we're not renewing next year which is a shame cos I like sitting in my seat with the same people who sit around me but over this year there's less and less people sitting around me and it's freezing! The seats behind aren't ST and so we get random people who hardly ever go to games there saying daft stuff like 'so why are we kicking a different way now?' after half time, and kids kicking the back of my seat the whole game!

Also my ST is an expensive way to make myself miserable every fortnight so if I'm going to be disappointed with the way I spend my spare time I'd like it not to cost me as much. I'd spend a fiver to watch a poor game but £20 is taking the p!ss. I know I shouldn't resent spending money to watch my team but if they'd make more of an effort maybe so would I.
