Dan LCFC Posted 14 May 2014 Share Posted 14 May 2014 Those Burnley prices are absolutely astonishing. Don't see the funny side either. A few bitter Burnley fans isn't a bigger issue than utter greed. They will genuinely struggle to fill that place next year and that's farcical really. Makes Leicester look better though which I'm glad about. Anyway - remind me who Burnley's chief executive is, all of a sudden those prices become less of a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Lass Posted 14 May 2014 Share Posted 14 May 2014 Burnley did have a price freeze on Early Bird prices. I read somewhere that the last day of their availability was a point at which Burnley were 10 points clear of 2nd with 7 games to go. Still doesn't make those new applicant later prices any less ridiculous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsr-burnley Posted 14 May 2014 Share Posted 14 May 2014 Burnley sold 12,500 tickets at Championship prices for those willing to take a chance on which division we'd be in. The new prices are for people who waited to be sure of Premier football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 14 May 2014 Share Posted 14 May 2014 'no side has ever gone down after winning promotion with 100+ points' Didn't know this Newcastle United 2009-2010 season got 102 points same as ourselves and finished 12th in the prem the following season Reading 2005-2006 106 points the following season in the prem finished 8th! Fulham 2001-2002 101 Points in the championship finished 13th in the prem the following season. It bodes well for us to have a good season in the prem.

The new prices are for people who waited to be sure of Premier football. Still for a club where the average age of your fans is quite high it would of made more sense to make the season tickets more affordable to try and draw in new fans. Also i read that the average wage earned around Burnley isnt very high so what chance does the average person have of affording a ticket and possibly becoming a claret fan. The board have shot themselves in the foot. It was the perfect opportunity to try and create a bigger following as in the years to come the average attendance at burnley is only going to go one way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board have shot themselves in the foot. It was the perfect opportunity to try and create a bigger following as in the years to come the average attendance at burnley is only going to go one way Five years ago we lost over 5,000 season ticket holders when we were relegated from the Premier. This year, for new supporters who are only joining for the Premier League season (because there has to be a chance that we'll be relegated again), there's a £100 deposit included for next year in the hope of retaining more people. Maybe it'll work, maybe not, but that's what they're trying to do. We know giving cheap tickets doesn't get new long-term supporters. They tried that last time and it didn't work.

Big_Nige Posted 14 May 2014 Share Posted 14 May 2014 Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but this is an interesting breakdown of Season Ticket Prices for the Prem last year. £41 per goal for the average Norwich Fan Not sure why its squashed the pic.

dsr-burnley Posted 14 May 2014 Share Posted 14 May 2014 So Burnley's cheapest ticket, at £299 for the early bird price (with free tickets for under 10's), would be the cheapest in the league based on last year's prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheapest tickets in the league, cheapest owners in the league, cheapest manager in the league, cheapest players in the league. I reckon it will cost 299 to see your team win a home match overall next season based on those figures. You are destined for relegation my friend, enjoy it whilst you can (or until Dyche leaves for a bigger club in October/November time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 14 May 2014 Share Posted 14 May 2014 I actually think Burnley have a point with their season ticket strategy. I think it's a bit too risky, I don't think it will work, but you can see why they've done it. Those prices could easily be avoided if you were willing to take the plunge on a season ticket early enough. Let's face it, they aren't wrong about fans buying tickets to see the big boys, then deserting the club when they get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
