MC Prussian Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 I guess an average increase of 8% sounds better psychologically than 10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattolcfc Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 Due to poor memory would somebody be able to help me. How much would I have paid last season for a season ticket in L1 for an adult & I renewed early? I THINK it was £368... now it's £430.. I am absolutely FUMING, do they not know it's a recession? They have clearly targeted the 'in demand' areas to sit, such as L1 and the Kop. Debating just away games next year as this is extortion! The Thais said that putting up ticket prices was not in their agenda, well Miss Whelan and co.. you have just lost a lot of people's trust!

Stevosevic Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 I have already noticed a shift in numbers from the Kop/East Stand to the cheaper areas of the ground like A2/C2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life choice mate, don't see why students should receive any discount at all. My money's just as good as yours, why should I have to pay any more than you?

roachmachine Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 At my age, last seasons renewal seems along time ago, and the details have def faded, i seem to think however, me and my lad paid £390 in L1 last, so that's another £40 on top this yr. Ok not the biggest amount of money in the world, and pretty much what i was expecting, it still goes against the grain to and extent, specially after the s***e ive watched all season this yr, and with 14 away games under my belt, its all come at a very heavy cost. Its now dilema time i fear, renew and not bother with away games, don't renew and just concentrate on away games, where the atmosphere is generally alot better( tho without a priority season ticket will i get away tickets to big games??). Good jobe ive got a bit of thinking time, one thing is for sure, i def won't be rushing the desision after the disaster that has been this yr. Like many others im getting to the stage where i feel watching football is really pushing the boundaries of value for money. Some serious thinking needs to be done. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 I can't quote as I'm on my phone but exactly Teeno and Davie G. IMO non-students have more to pay out than Students, granted most non-student are (or should be) in full time work but it means **** all when you have bill after bill to pay, and like Davie G said I got no student discount when I was an apprentice I don't know if the law is the same now but bear in mind there wasn't a minimum wage when I was an apprentice so I was actually worse off that students who could go out and get minimum wage yet I still had to pay more than student prices.

DanTheMan Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 I'll be renewing - assuming they use the U18 prices for students like they did last year, my ticket only goes up £5 to £145! To be honest, as a postgrad that earns a fair bit more than your typical undergrad gets in loans, I'd have happily paid the full adult asking price! I can understand people getting disgruntled with fairly steep increases in some blocks, but I do think there is a pretty valid argument for offering heavily discounted tickets for undergrad students. If you're only getting upto around £4500 in student loans, finding £400-£500 for a ST is a massive ask, so the argument of "You're an adult so you should be paying the same as me!" doesn't hold water, and the club would see a fair amount of student ST holders drop out if they removed the discounted ticket. Like I say, a postgrad student is a different matter, but for undergrads my argument stands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what about university students having to pay for fees, accommodation & their living costs. At most the loan is around £4000, which doesn't even cover accommodation in most cases. You may have more to pay out, but you have an income too remember, that's not the case for the majority of students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daggers Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 Quite a staggeringly stupid move on behalf of the club, yet again displaying piss-all awareness of the environment within which the club operates. Look forward to an emptier stadium net season with a raft of special one-off ticket offers in order to entice people in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
