    it'll be my maths that's $hit

    6000 @ £10 = £60k
    4000 @ £15 = £60k

    isn't 4k a third reduction from 6k? dunno, i'm no vorderman. that was the point i was trying to make anyway. as it happens, we've done the whole 'they should charge so and so' debate a thousand times. we've proved time and again, that slashing prices doesn't bring the crowds in, and just costs the club money.

    i don't know what the break point is...but there will be one

    One of the most uninspiring home ties we could have got. I'm in. :)

    You ought to try driving back to Farnham after a defeat that's a good 3.5 hours these days with all the 50 limits on the M1 for miles and miles

    Maybe make it £10 for season ticket holders, but I'll be at the game whatever with the drive from Hull. It's my team and I don't like missing home games :)

    40 minute drive for me too now, but that is nothing at all compared to what I have had for many years previously. Like Farnham Red and others I have willingly travelled up and down the country just for a football match. The game inspires madness, no doubt about that.

    But 40 minutes? Pffffttt just a drive down the road ;)

    really? i get that people were wanting to pay a tenner instead of £15. but a rip off? i doubt you'll get many FA Cup matches charging much less

    Thats never been proven. The last time they reduced tickets AND aggressively advertised the fact we sold out more or less. Since then we have had one off price reductions where it was announced in small print on christian dibbles profile page on the official site. In latin using a burgandy font on a red background or have had price cuts that are so complicated to understand and work out if you qualify and in what 7 minutes of the week leading up to the game you are allowed to buy your ticket and from which random household in yorkshire that you will have to go to collect your ticket that nobody bothered. Oh we have also been told figures and costs that to anyone with more than one brain cell just do not make an ounce of sense. "Sorry but if we reduce prices and get an extra 20 people through the door then we will have to remortgage oakwell to pay for the hiring of the chinese army to oversee things"

    In my opinion at no point has it ever been proven or demonstrated that lower prices do not equate to more fans when marketed correctly.

    Think it might be a good idea to wait til there's an anouncement on the official site.

    Don't think it's expensive or cheap. It's exactly what I expected & I'll be there

    They could have made it £50 a head, no concessions and still a couple of thou would turn up.

    Clubs know people are daft when it comes to following their team and there lays the problem.
