Superally Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 I was told yesterday that next seasons preparations for the Championship are well underway already and Season Tickets will be on sale from Wed 3rd May. I believe there will be small increase as expected but there will be emphasis on getting younger fans through the gate like this season. I'll be renewing mine so I'm aff to count out my money jar.

kelty_par Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 £23 for the main stand. Oaft! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saline hill puma Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 £21 for walk up, will be giving a few more games a miss at that price. Charging more than £20 for 2nd tier football is a disgrace imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 I get that £20 may be seen as a red line for some but it was going to be breached at some point and on the back of a promotion isn’t too much of an issue for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose its a balance The club will need additional funds as the player budget is likely to be more and we want to be competitive. However we need fans through the gates too. I feel the increase is reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 I think the price rise is fair, there's been a fair amount of inflation since last summer, an extra pound is fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Eleven Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Inflation is 10% and we’ve gone up a division so a 5% rise is very reasonable. There are also plenty of discounts available for different groups. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al k Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 I thought the pricings very reasonable too. Shame we can't have an online season ticket for Scotland/UK yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastendtales Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Club have to so something, only fair given that everything else is rising in price. A quid is fine although aye, it's easy for me to say that given I don't go except very occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secure Par Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Tbh I was expecting £23 but £21 is decent and can’t be moaned at with extra costs in bills etc. Looking forward to what signings will be brought in for next season in a decent league👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charging more than £20 for 2nd tier football is a disgrace imo None of us like paying more for something but, if we want the manager to put out a competitive team in the Championship, he's going to need to strengthen the squad. Better players will want better wages. Income from other sources is still pretty meagre in the Championship. Once taxes are deducted, less than half of your £21 is profit. Factor in inflation and you'll realise that David Cook has made a very good job of squaring the circle. Failure to provide the manager with an adequate budget, would almost inevitably result in a relegation scrap next season. None of us want that. I want to see us in the promotion mix. If we can't achieve that, I want us to at least be well clear of the strugglers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not paying a price that I don't consider reasonable, so from me they have lost £20 (which I would also consider a poor price but it's my limit I'd pay) rather than gain a extra £1. I could get a season ticket to bring the price down but with the likely chance of a fair few games being moved to a Friday it's pretty pointless for me.

DA-go Par Adonis Posted May 1, 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 That's a pity - given you also boycotted the last 4 home games of the season due to the one-game restriction for the North West stand... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelty_par Posted May 1, 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 Prices are reasonable enough for going up and the way everything is at the moment. I’ll be renewing anyway but I did wonder why no early bird this time round? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
