JCWfox Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 Can somebody please explain the student price situation? Are there any? If not its a disgrace £230 rise on what I had to pay last season, something me and many other students cannot simply afford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 23 April 2012 Author Share Posted 23 April 2012 If we all move into the same house and change our last names so they all match, we could all save 10%. I'd need to borrow some kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxpleasure Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 Dont see how its 8%. I'm in J1. last year I paid £459 thats gone up to £550 (more than 19.8% increase) my two kids cost me £40 each last year and they've been put up to £50 each (25% increase) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a crap season and now we're going to pay even more for the "privilege". Actually dreading matchday prices next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 I'm in SK1 and was expecting an increase, as is the way with everything at the minute, however I was considering taking my 2 year old daughter to a game next season to see if she enjoyed it, but looking at the prices I may just be better getting a season ticket in the family stand and getting her the free ticket, that way if she likes it she has the choice to go every week, if she hates it, it hasn't even cost me a 1 off match ticket. I will say I am impressed with the under 8's in the kop and other parts of the ground being £50/60 think that is reasonable, I'b pay that to take my kids, it's just some on the adult prices that are bit steep. I know a % of fans will go whatever, but with no premiership football and the poor season we have had, to justify an increase in sporting terms, this will put a lot of people off, our ground will look like the riverside next year if the owners aren't careful.

foxpleasure Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 I'd imagine they're talking about an average 8%. I I realised that but if this is typical of East Stand increases their must be lots of people getting big price reductions to average out at 8% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a crap season and now we're going to pay even more for the "privilege". Actually dreading matchday prices next year. I'm pretty sure more people are unhapppy than those that are. I'm not very happy about it but there you go. Me having a moan and going to complain isn't going to change anything. If I didn't renew I know I'll be kicking myself halfway through next season, and I don't really do much else on a weekend. Like I said earlier, it's an extra £4 a month for me from last season, works out to £18.60 per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealingfox Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 Anyone thinking of not renewing should first consider how much they will regret missing out on the bonus of doing so now when we are top and unbeaten after 10 games having just thrashed Forest 6-0 at home.

Going to the football isn't just about watching the team win. If that's all it is then most of us wouldn't have bothered over the last few years. No doubt I'll miss it next season but there are other things I have to pay for in my life and football can't be the priority. I'm quite sad about it but there's nothing I can do; I simply cannot afford to renew. I'll go to Hinckley next season for less than a third of the price and hopefully be able to afford to go to a few Leicester aways or home match deals. The club only have themselves to blame for people not renewing. Although let's be quite honest, they couldn't care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellend Sebastian Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 What the Dickens is this 'Just the Ticket' malarkey when it's at home, then? I cheerily renewed my Season Ticket in A1 last year and then benefited from a very poorly publicised partial refund as a result of the 'Just The Ticket' scheme, and this time round they are advertising a price for this and a standard one. Being as it's £90 less, I'll go for the former, in fact that would be just the ticket. It's going to cost me £350 by the looks of things. I wish I could remember how much my first one was in 1997/98 - I'm pretty sure it wasn't much less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicesterlad1989 Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 I love this line from the OS: "delighting home supporters with some dazzling performances" Anyone else think they have been at the wrong stadium all season??? You clearly didn't watch the home games vs Burnley & Forest, those performances alone make me want to pay extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier, it's an extra £4 a month for me from last season, works out to £18.60 per game. Unfortunately I'll probably be in the same boat, that's the problem. A move for me can actually get the price cheaper, a move to L1 that is, something I'll most likely do in all honesty. But just the whole mentality behind it fvcking pisses me off, the way they're trying to tell us what a superb side we are, and how we're getting great value. They're taking the piss and the problem is they know they can. It's an affordable increase for me but it's so annoying and the only chance of them coming down is if they dramatically go up one year and people stop going in numbers.

I stopped two season's ago. During the first season I spent more time playing with my kids and wife - we went places and did stuff. This season it continued but I included non-league games at Kettering. I've developed a number of hobbies (one of which is going to be my new job) and next season will be the same only I am going to watch AFC R&D's first full season with a senior squad. What people considering not renewing really need to do is work out how much other fun they can have with that money while not missing a single home game and loads of aways thanks to the streaming which now exists. I toyed with the idea of getting an ST again next season but the price hikes have totally killed that idea. I miss meeting up with mates on Saturday in the Swan. That's all. Life exists outside of LCFC as a growing number of supporters are going to be finding out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll still get my football fix by watching a local side filled with players who are genuinely playing for their living. When I'm not there I can be doing other things. There is loads of stuff I'd like to do but never find the time for. The club might just have done me a favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964FOX Posted 23 April 2012 Share Posted 23 April 2012 The increase is about what I expected. As others say everything is getting more expensive and eThais have put an awful lot of money in the club so it's reasonable for them to ensure the business side of tings is growing. Hopefully they will invest further for future gain should we get in the money gravy train that is the premiership. I think the removal of admin fees for paying by direct debit is very good news and has to be helpful to those who can't pay up front. May be we should all move to the cheaper family stand and turn it into the Kop we have always wanted it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
