ahamaad Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Following from ianrobo's request - which I think is a good idea - I have added this poll. I locked the other thread to maximise votes. Basically the options are: 1) I will renew 2) I will renew mine and my child's ST 3) I will be getting a ST for the first time (or go on a waiting list for one) 3) No I won't renew I added the separate child's option as there seems to be the area with the largest increase.

ahamaad Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Also if you vote no, could you state why - ie cost, moving out of the area, supporting small heath (:winkold:) etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaceydeaceyaggro Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'll be renewing, but I'm not happy at the shocking increase in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_av Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'll be renewing, but I'm not happy at the shocking increase in price. I don't mind mine at all at 7%. The 30% is a disgrace for Junior Tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin@villatalk Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'd love to have a season ticket but I just cant get to most of the games and will be better and cheaper just to buy when ever I can make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I saw a big Sony TV advertised for £400 (between £200 and £400 cheaper than elsewhere), but when I went to buy it had gone up to £485, I'd still be pleased with the cost.

P3te Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 i left it too late to get one this year but im definitely getting one for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I will be renewing mine and my 9 year old daughters. My brother will also be renewing. It will cost us a total of £95 extra this season. I think the price increases are reasonable and are to be expected if we want a top 4 team we can't expect to pay bottom 4 prices forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparitive to other clubs it really does sound like some have taken the previously low prices for granted then. In an age where many blokes (and women) claim to drink numerous pints on a night out, we are talking about one less pint a fortnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notoriousjim Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Definitely renewing and joining the away scheme as well, I'm looking forward to those European nights and don't want to miss out! :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the food basket is 15% up from last year and gas and electricity prices are up 15% since the start of this year, I think it is a bit rum (pardon the pun ) to concentrate on 'binge drinking' to justify the increase. Perhaps the increases in other things (e.g. gas, electric, fuel and food) have already put paid to going out for a fair few people. So the 'cutting down' on a luxury that they already might not be able to afford is not a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B6 to E6 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 12.5% increase is not too bad. At the end of the day this has been the best football I have seen since my first season tciket in 91. Happy to pay; especially as we will have euro football next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are down to the bare bones and can't reduce their expenditure by drinking one pint less a fortnight OR cancel the sunday paper OR smoke one less cigarette per day OR something similar, then I'd be very surprised. Even changing one's driving style could save enough money in petrol alone! I've had a season ticket for 20 years now. I can't be sure that a fan in 1988 didn't decide that he could no longer afford it then. Is the club expected to ignore inflation and football economics in order to attract the 1988 fan back?

I don't think that you realise that some are indeed down to the bare bones. Why is it necessary to speak in extremes and go back 20 years? When we are talking about a ton or two in increases in one go then I think it's a tad daft to start talking about 1988. No, the club is not expected to 'ignore inflation' but, perhaps, it should lok at ticket pricing to do with how each individual price has changed rather than 'average' it out.
