    No it hasn't stopped you at all. Too many seem to be looking for an excuse not to go. It's really not too much more expensive.

    Are you going to pay the extra for him then? After all, it's really not too much more expensive. How can you possibly say that it hasn't stopped him at all; do you know his personal circumstances?

    I don't need an excuse not to go, I've been home away for years now. The money has gone up n up its time to stop paying through the nose,its the clubs who make the ******** excuses to put prices up, so don't come with the ******.

    I must agree with regards to this category balacks.

    A good game is when we play well and win. a bad game is when we play crap and lose.

    We don't go to watch the other team.

    It's not like Ronaldo Messi or Prosinecki are playing.

    Can we have a refund for a crap performance of ours? Or even theirs?

    How many games a season do you go to roughly? You could end up paying less than last season if you select games wisely...

    It's expensive. No other argument will wash with me.

    I'm happy I can afford an ST but match day prices have the potential to be too much.

    Working persons game? No chance.

    Yep, for the last 10 seasons excepting the last one, I'd be due a refund.

    The thing that's got me the most is supporting us home and away in league 1, then taking my 6 and 7year old for the first time last season then having a great finish to last season on a really good feel factor with the club looking forward to our reward for our support in the championship. Then they go and **** on us at least that's how it feels. I could be done a lot better for them who can't make every game or can't afford a season ticket.

    Did about 12 to15 games at home and about and 7 away not including Wembley. I wouldn't want a season ticket because I couldn't stand it just to be sat at home when it's paid for, plus every season the amount of games I attend may change. But I would just like to see a set price of 20 quid to watch my team I don't care who we play as I believe any Barnsley fan does and 20 still works out more than a season ticket, so the category pricing is just a rip off.

    Would you rather we signed players like Bradshaw and Moncur and pay £25

    Or sign players like Connor Wilkinson and Stephen Dawson and pay less than £20 ?

    It's the way of the world. Look at concert or festival prices these days. Eye watering some of them but it's all the way through the entertainment business now. Ordinary fans get fleeced; you pay up or you don't go. No amount of complaining about it will have any effect on the outcome.

    Ideally you could have got an early bird ticket in the family stand for £270 which is great value. Then get a free kids ticket along side that.

    If you attend 12 matches this season at around £25 that's £300 so already a saving made there.

    Maybe worth you looking at next time as it would have saved you at last seasons prices aswell.

    Season ticket prices ok category prices rip off. Category prices aren't going to change the calibre off player much is it. Especially if people aren't going to pay the rip off price of categorising.

    If like me you were struggling to afford watching football last season, these prices have put the tin hat on it. The calibre of opposition and quality of our signings don't make a difference to the amount of spare cash in my pocket.

    Club have done nothing wrong in my eyes. Payment plan was available months ago to get yourself a season ticket,free one for one of kids,peanuts for other. Simples. You'd still have got your money's worth only attending 12-15 games. People need to stop moaning. Prices have been more than reasonable for quite a few years with no difference in attendances. Too many people were going to go against likes of Newcastle,Villa,Norwich,Derby,Forest,Wednesday,Leeds,etc and couldn't be arsed going against Wigan,Fulham,Bristol City,Burton. Now your going yo have to pay for the privilege. Win win for me

    I never mind paying the money if it's worth it. I've been to watch German, Italian football and they gat value for money and in there top leagues. But while the more people bend over and take it in the ass they will get fleeced, just maddening that Barnsley have decided to fleece the non season ticket ticket holding supporter.
