Jarvy Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Whilst this is good, I expect we'll find a lot more matches at the highest price category than in previous seasons. Marketing saw last season that our fans will pay the highest prices for tickets and they'll exploit it wherever possible. I generally like our ownership at the moment but there's no charity in the way they run the club. That said, I'm a realist and they've got to make it profitable somehow. It's just a shame that I can barely afford less than 10 matches a season nowadays. Edited July 10, 2017 by Jarvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Think to say they are frozen is putting a bit of spin on it. Wont really know until after the season ends and see if same amount of categories used. What ever arguments people come up with think in general the prices are too high.

Give us your two penneth I don't think he bothers anymore because of all the poo he gets because he happens to passionately believe that football should be affordable to more people than it is - and that Wednesday are in the vanguard of baddies when it comes to ticket prices. That makes some people angry. As for a ticket price freeze - what matters is the balance of categories. All we know for now is the maximum price hasn't changed.

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 So, the prices for each category are frozen, but games that were a Cat D last season, for example, may be a Cat C this season, therefore the match day prices will increase. Won't know the real picture until the end of the season though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) While clubs are coming down from the Premshit with a bobbar load of parachute payments, then clubs will have to charge these prices. Don't get me wrong, I think the price to watch football is ludicrous, but until the Premiere league bubble bursts, it is what it is. Mr Chansiri said from the start that the fans would have to contribute to whatever success the club will have.

The Wednesday fan dichotomy Because the higher the price the bigger the game. People didn't come just because they thought "Marvellous I can pay nearly £50 today. Count me in!"

Guest mkowl Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 The converse is a low price against the less interesting teams doesn't always seem to bring in numbers. Hence the use of the word dichotomy. DC must be quite confused by us as a group of fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 By that I mean that demand for tickets which you would expect to be some way contingent on price barely seems to be. It's more about the opposition and day of the game More of it is why the crowd Isn't higher for the lower category games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love football to be cheaper, and cars, and petrol, and beer, and council tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot depends on how we're doing, if we're mid table come second half of season then expext lower priced category, if we're top 6 then expensive one's.
