    We'll be charging what the other teams charge us, so expect it to be high.

    I think we'll see lots of bundle pricing this year to encourage people to come to multiple games to benefit from cheaper pricing, but then to maximise the away fan revenue at the same time.

    20 is plenty it doesn't matter what other teams do. We come from an area of social deprivation we should as a community club be inclusive and not react to how other teams price games.

    We won't of course we will follow the same exploitative path we did to little or no affect last time.

    You've got to balance both sides for me.

    We'll have a huge away following this season who'll be forced to spend between £30 and £40 regularly to attend a game. Why would we allow 6,000 Leeds fans to visit for £20?

    The smart business move would be to create some continious bundle system to sllow people to always buy two match tickets for £40 (any game when bought in advance) and then matchday prices that match the same fixture at the opponent's ground, with exceptions obviously.

    Just my opinion but I can see both sides of the coin.

    Buy a season ticket would be my advice.

    Exactly.

    But naturally not everyone can afford one, which is understandable.

    So in order for our fans not to be ripped off when they go away we will rip them off when we play at home which of course doesn't stop them being ripped off when we go away. It's logic but not as we know it.

    I don't disagree wth selling multiple tickets (in fact a flexi ticket is the way forward) but we seem incapable of doing anything remotely innovative with regards to ticketing.

    Last season when they did the mini season tickets I talked 3 lads who used to go all the time Into to getting them with their kids. This year they have taken 3 adult and 4 kids season tickets. Doing something different works.

    You can pay on finance can't you. I know there's a way of spreading the cost over months. Sure there is. But I agree, not everyone can afford one and prices north of £20 for adults/£10 for kids... it's not great. Hence the flexi card or membership idea.

    Mate, I'm in the same boat. It sucks balls working two out of three weekends and being unable to get to many midweek games. But I'm learning to drive now and so from next season (2017-18) I expect to be able to make nearly every game. I just won't be able to drink.

    What's football like when sober?

    Well, no. 20 is plenty regardless of what "most teams in the league" think.

    20s plenty is a great theory where the SKY TV Money is distributed fairly across the leagues and there is a level playing field, financially speaking. That's not reality though and the club have got the difficult job of trying to be as competitive as we can. When a large percentage of the teams we are competing against have some sort of parachute payment, some with much bigger gates, this is going to be difficult and once more we are likely to have one of the smallest budgets in the Championship. To throw away a large chunk of away supporter revenue would be crazy. What the club have got to do, in my opinion, is find a way to maximise revenue from away supporters and provide better value, for our fans who for whatever reason can't buy a season ticket.
