Wolves Season Tickets

Disgraceful.
When are football fans ever going to unite and say enough is enough?

 

Read that the other day - appalling. Trouble is some clubs can get away with it - Liverpool has a 25 year waiting list for a season ticket so if someone drops out there's always somebody who will take it up!

 

Shocking. Another reason to hate the Prem….

 

NEVER.
Because we'll put up with any old sh.it that the clubs feed us.
Sky tv money isn't enough for them to survive, they have to pay player wages of millions each. Poor darlings.

 

All to do the with FFP rules. Clubs needing to be competitive need cash their owners can’t put in therefore rip the fans off.

 

The home capacity of Molineux is 29,300. Let's say three quarters of those are adults, so 21,975 paying £939 = £20,634,525. and then 7325 concessions paying £305 = £2,234,125. You could charge people half of what they're paying and only be down £11.4m, which buys you nothing nowadays. Just under £220k a week.

Would football fans rather their team be successful, or to actually be able to watch them?

 

That's the problem. Fans can only blame themselves. They'd rather be fleeced and kid themselves it will pay for them hitting the big time.
Wolves aren't hitting the big time anytime soon unless they find a middle east country to buy them. Price gouging on season tickets isn't going to cut it.
One country wide mass boycott would bring the clubs to their knees. Not necessarily financially but a "world's best league" with half empty stadiums would embarrass them royally.
In the meantime it seems like the only possibility of change is the threat of government intervention.

 

It was only last month they were quite rightly getting lots of praise for mental health awareness. It didn't take them long to play on the mental health of their own fans.

The article is a bit misleading in tone, as the 190% price increase applies to the junior ticket only. I only spotted that on the second pass after seeing the price details.

Incidentally, this is the same percentage price increase applies to junior tickets at Oakwell. The difference is ours went from £10 to £29, not £105 to £305.

 

Trouble is top league clubs don’t need the ticket revenue anymore it’s a small drop in the ocean compared to TV rights and even commercial revenue for the bigger clubs. Only way a fans revolt may work is if there was a collective refusal to purchase anything.

 

An absolute Monster is what has been created with the PL, it'll never happen but unless they Cap wages it will just keep spiralling, there will be a club at some point that goes pop

 

Yeah, that's what I mean. The embarrassment factor is about all that would work. It would be interesting to know where Wolves' shirt sales revenue comes from. Possibly as much in Asia as at home.
It's a sad fact but football is a pretty sordid arena these days

 

"Football doesn't have an income problem, it has a spending problem"
Well said that man, never a truer word spoken.

 

I saw something about a Spurs fan,lifelong fan losing his oap concession, so having to pay full price.
Watched them all his life
Tough decision whether to renew or not
