Category ticket prices again

Get season tickets if u cant afford it get it on visa and pay back monthly 30 quid a month or summat

 

That would be really smart if you can only go to 8 games.

 

Hardly any games will be cat a, if you want to secure a seat, get a season ticket.

The prem teams get over £100m in tv rights each so a small subsidy so it’s not comparable.

I take it you’ll not complain when well over 50% of games are the same price as last season in a lower league

 

These guys have already done more to try and connect with the supporters, improve the facilities and communicate than the last regime did in ten years. And they’ve made a sight less profit as well.

 

So sell it cheaper to someone else and recoup a bit of cash on missed games. That way ya both win in a fashion.

 

Fair point..... Like you said.. WE support, why should we pay more to watch the otherteam.

 

Football players are being paid too much is the main issue that causes this.

 

What happens if he doesn’t live in Barnsley? Be a right pain in the arse to get rid of 15 tickets. Point your missing there are fans out there who have different circumstances to yourself and can only commit to 5/6/7 games a season. Why should they pay such a premium for this? It’s ridiculous.

 

What about families who might want to only go to two or three games but aren’t going to pay £100 a time. The solution always seems to be ‘get a season ticket’. Lots of people can’t due to cost/other commitments or just don’t want to spend every other Saturday and some Tuesdays watching football. They just don’t care about it that much and if they don’t care about it that much they’re not going to be willing to pay those match day ticket prices either.

 

No concessions for wheelchair users except age related....just that

 

You shouldn't have to mess about, contravene the ground regulations and risk having the ticket rescinded. They should charge a fair price to start with.

 

What do you advise the club do then? Bearing in mind we have to try to compete with the likes of Wednesday and Leeds who have a much bigger fan base and charging their own fans and away fans 38 quid week in week out and season tickets are near on double the price of ours?
Imo the away ticket prices should be capped like it the premiership but can't blame the club for doing what they do tbh.

 

Sadly football has changed alot and for the worse since John Dennis was in charge.

 

The flexi-ticket helped last time. Next season's effort (the membership) isn't inspiring at all.

 

They didn't do a flexi-ticket last season. The last one was in our relegation season. They don't give it a chance. It was introduced in October and withdrawn in November. It wasn't there for the early season enthusiasm or the Christmas shopping period. I can't fathom why it isn't there as a proper ticket option ALL season.

 

Not clubs fault you can only get to 8 games look for another job then.

 

As ever, those who attend most games and have the cash get a good deal. The season tickets are certainly value for money.

Those who can't make all games snd/or live from month to month get a poor deal, match tickets are way too much.

I think, as I have done for years, it's self defeating in the long run as turning casual fans into loyal fans can't really happen if you alienate casual fans and no longer have them as part of your fan base.

I'd be interested in the results of a longitudinal study on the average age of football fans. Where I sit it's 10 years older than it was 10 years ago. We've lost a few to old age, two from our row, but had no younger ones to take their place.

 

This is what I keep arguing too. So many people really don’t yet want a season ticket, they want to be a casual fan. The club is doing nothing to change that fact. The only reason I became a ST holder after being a casual fan for 20 odd years was because the Supporter’s Club did a cheaper ticket deal for a season meaning I went to more games than ever before, enjoyed it, tried a half season ticket and then got a full one. I’ve been a ST holder since.

 

Does the club need to chase such business? If they aren't going to commit to attending regularly then do we mind if we shake them down for every penny when they can be bothered to turn up? Some people would argue that the club should be at the centre of the community, but to be honest, they don't owe us anything.
