Shrenchel Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 Totally agree with foss1884, alternatively the 'disgruntled' could shell out £323 to sit in Yeovil Town's AgustaWestland Stand and watch 'lower half' League 1 football (so, okay they've had a dreadful second half to their season after making a Wembley trip last year), but come on keep it in context ... £275? Bargain, well done Milan! Be aware if we do take the drop, their away end is uncovered and totally exposed to the riches of the Somerset weather! Or they could pay 100 quid to get a season ticket at Huddersfield, or 250 to watch premier league football at Wigan.

Bargain, well done Milan! Be aware if we do take the drop, their away end is uncovered and totally exposed to the riches of the Somerset weather! Not a bargain at all really. I could get a season ticket in germany for half the price at Leicester (And thats better football) and have twice as good time. Unfortunatly I have been lumbered with our club
SamL Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 After thinking about it, people only have a month to find £300 odd to pay for one or else they'll have to pay the increased prices. For some people, this is next to impossible. It's not really much of a generous move, but more of a publicity stunt.
Mwah Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 Yours are a bargin. At Hillsborough we are ready to be the most expensive club for season tickets.
Simi Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 Couldn't help praising himself for keeping the same prices after he considered rising them for all his faults. "It is true that I had contemplated raising season ticket prices for the upcoming campaign."I have invested heavily in the playing squad and also on improving the infrastructure at the club. Fair play and all that still.

Joe. Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 Not a bargain at all really. I could get a season ticket in germany for half the price at Leicester (And thats better football) and have twice as good time. Unfortunatly I have been lumbered with our club But this isn't Germany! This is English football and the fact is our prices are pretty competetive compared to the vast majority of other clubs. Fair play to Milan for this but I wonder how much the prices will go up after May 31st?
Webbo Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 Fair play to Milan, I've been critical of him but I think this is a good gesture. If anybody seriously thought that prices would be coming down, relegation or not , they are living in dream land.
kevinwpratt Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 isn't there a staggered payment scheme like last year? Yes, deposit of £50 to secure your seat and the spread the rest up to December 08 (£4 charge admin fee per payment) £50 May £49 June £49 July £49 Aug £49 Sep £49 Oct Job done!
kyleolly Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 Bought mine today obviously not been printed yet i have all the faith in the world. Southampton will loose their last 2 games
MikeyT Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 It's the right thing to do. (Presuming we're staying up) Exactly!
Floating Fox Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 But this isn't Germany! This is English football and the fact is our prices are pretty competetive compared to the vast majority of other clubs. Fair play to Milan for this but I wonder how much the prices will go up after May 31st? True. I had to bring it up though, after all I am me. Still saying this, Villa charge almost identical prices. I don't think Milan can justify the price increase in which he has hidden behind a smokescreen. Why does it make a difference if he gets his money before May 31st...
lildave3 Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 £207 I make that for me. Is there a reward for having a St for the last few years again like last year? Or does that include it?

I don't think Milan can justify the price increase in which he has hidden behind a smokescreen. Why does it make a difference if he gets his money before May 31st... So he can plan for pre-season activity in the transfer market and all the budgeting that goes on. As there very well could be a big drop in sales compared to last year.
clazkel Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 I wonder if anyone's got the balls to order one before saturday? When i went over the ticket office this morning i thought about renewing my season ticket, as i asked if they had prices sorted yet and i was surprised when i was told yes, and he said it is £343 for adult season ticket in L1 (i think that is the frozen price, but he seemed to be new and didn't know what he was doing) But when i asked about Stoke tickets and i was told there wasn't any left and i saw the last one being sold to a man, i was gutted and just left! If i got Stoke tickets i would've defo bought a season ticket
Tubes Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 He has only froze the prices because he knew how many ST holders he would have lost from a raise in price. Rewarding our loyalty my arse.
Bluefoxtim Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 So how long do season ticket holders have to secure their current seats? I'm assuming we will have a while before they are put on general sale as it were.
Legend_in_blue Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 MMs marketing ploy is rather clever in its timing. Assuming a good performance on Saturday, Bob (from Wigston?) says to Andy (from Long Eaton), "renewing your season ticket?", the other one says "yes, not going up". Bob from Wigston says "No, we won't be with IH in charge, get him out". Andy says, "No not the team, the ticket prices." "Oh" says Bob. I can see it now.
Simi Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 £207 I make that for me. Is there a reward for having a St for the last few years again like last year? Or does that include it? It went down to £207 with our loyalty discount I think last year.
Rich Fox Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 The cheapest tickets works out at about £12.00 per game now could anyone else tell me where I could go for an afternoon out for 12 quid. Its cheaper than stoping at home.
Daggers Posted 24 April 2008 Posted 24 April 2008 Credit .....to......Milan Manderic!!! Now THAT wont go down to well,with some of the buffoons posters on here!!!! And here is that buffoon. He knew he could never put up prices after the shit he lumped us in during the summer. I always said that I wouldn't renew if he raised prices - and he has finally got around to doing something he should have done a month ago. If he had announced a price freeze then - I would still have given him shit for not cutting the cost. This is the very least the club should do for us, there'll be no praise coming from me for this. Anyway, I'm going to renew tomorrow morning now - Kilworth, give me a seat number to quote them Ollie's Army!

Its cheaper than stoping at home. 12 Quid to sit at the front of the West Stand every other saturday. Give £12 to watch paint dry instead please.

I don't think Milan can justify the price increase in which he has hidden behind a smokescreen. Why does it make a difference if he gets his money before May 31st... Because that's when the financial year ends at City.
