turvontour Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 It feels like they've increased the costs of those who can afford it least. It's the lower priced areas and junior and senior tickets that have gone up most right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I have emailed the club on my over 40% increase. I doubt they will do anything but thought I would just let them know. I understand it is currently a very good value seat and would have taken a 10% increase like everyone else but not sure on this move by the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted May 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2022 This is nuts, it transpires the row below and seats directly infront of me in the lower Holte are£144 cheaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Still undecided.......every day I change my mind. Mine has gone up by 10% I knew it would go up, but have been a bit underwhelmed this season by what I am seeing on the pitch. I probably will renew grudgingly - the fact that if I give it up it might be years before I am able to get another one.... Del 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Probably still will renew - but a lot of soul searching after the palace game - is this the best use of £700 ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Well I did receive a comment back but basically said we have to put the prices up to compete with everyone else and we are still fairly cheap. So tough basically. I have decided to move to the Upper Holte Wings as it was the same price of my current seat and has more legroom and space in the concourse. The way I am now rationalising it is that it is now only about a £50 increase in the seat price from last year instead of £160. What is going to happen as a load will move from the old category 5 and 6 bands and these seats will be sold on to the waiting list. And if we don't redevelop the North Stand quickly a fair few may not renew if we increase again next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were the last row of the cheaper tickets, then the row behind you would be upset that they were in the more expensive tickets. They have a relocation window soon, see if you can move to cheaper seats if you want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously feel comfortable in that if some don't renew the 24,000 on the waiting list will. It is crazy that demand is so high even after a 6 wins (maybe seven wins) home season.

Of course they will but if they are shamed enough that people cant afford it they might look at more helpful payment plans It works for most companies, even Ryanair fold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us have ever had a season ticket and we would definitely take them up even at the new prices. We spent a similar amount buying individual tickets this season and that only paid for around 12 matches rather than 19. My guess is that around 80% will take up the season tickets. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I would get one. We are still cheaper than most grounds and at the end of the day if people don’t wanna pay it then that’s absolutely fine and their choice but I’d snap up a ticket price rise or not. As it happens, being a member just got a whole lot harder as I bet there will be lots of people downgrading from season ticket to membership so getting a ticket is gonna be bloody difficult without a season ticket now.

The Fun Factory Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I haven't not had a season ticket for quite a while and by all accounts its a ball ache getting tickets match by match nowadays. If you went to 10-12 games it would still be probably be cheaper and more convenient to have a season ticket. The club hasn't done any match bundles or deals for a long time.

Agree, I would guess that most people on the waiting list go pretty regularly anyway and would grab the chance to pick a seat, not have to book and have better value for money on the cost of a ticket. I know I will if I get the chance (unlikely this season, maybe next). I also think that for all the (understandable) grumbling about ticket hikes, I think most will still renew for fear of missing out. Another poor season next year, that might change.

MrBlack Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 There will be a whole host of people on the waiting list that joined expecting us to have improved our position this year, to be playing a better brand of football than last season, and based on the season ticket price at the time.. albeit expecting maybe an in line with inflation rise. There will 100% be people on the waiting list that don't follow through, I imagine though there would be plenty that will, and more than enough to cover those that decide not to renew.

Villatillidie95 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 club emailed me yesterday as a "courtesy service", as I hadnt renewed the ticket by may 15th, according to their records. Nice to get one regarding the ST, there was none when they originally went on sale and were available to be renewed. Just waiting another week for the money to hit the account then the renewal process will commence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
