£32.50 adult ticket next season

[Uxy]

Back of a fagpacket but, based on 5000 potential walkup tickets (which may be an overestimate) and a £5 increase per ticket, you're looking at a max of a half million. In reality, it'll be much less when you factor in number sold and concessions etc.

Plus, the club has also mentioned they'll be doing specials, and have now announced the forces discount, which is always a nice and cheap bit of PR.

The forces discount is such American thinking. No problem with forces getting a discount but why on Earth should an ex soldier get a discount when a nurse who’s worked in the Covid ward and whose shift patterns don’t allow a season ticket pay 60% more? Or a delivery driver. Or checkout person. Or an6 number of the key workers that we’ve all relied on so much?

Get rid of one or two of our unwanted players and it pays for a £20 walk up for anyone who wants one.
And if we are that skint why are we paying out for a shiny new centre back when we have several that we pay for doing nothing?

Absolutely ridiculous lack of commercial acumen.

There is already a key workers scheme that is a pretty major thing. That would seem to be a better fit if you want to do something like this. Less admin too, as this scheme requires people to contact directly.

I dare say there were some frantic calls yesterday when the, utterly inevitable, reaction to the prices occurred. Wouldn't surprise me if this one came from our mutual friend ... he seems to be in regular contact.

Everything going sky high except people's wages.

Whether this is a genius marketing ploy or not (I suspect not), it will work out cheaper for me to get a season ticket and miss 50% of the home games.

Didn't away fans have to be charged the same amount as the home fans in the opposite end of the stadium? So they couldn't charge away fans more than they charged south standers - as a result, I recall south stand matchday tickets were relatively expensive, but there were good offers on STs there to get around it
